University of the People

Intellectual Property  
UoPeople respects the intellectual property rights of others who seek to create, preserve, and 
disseminate knowledge through teaching, collective learning, and continued research at the University 
at large. In keeping with its mission, UoPeople provides all reading materials without charge to its 
students. UoPeople abides by all copyright conditions and applicable law governing the use of these 
materials. It has adopted a comprehensive Intellectual Property policy to guide its course developers in 
preparing UoPeople courses (Guidelines on Development of Course Materials). 
In the event that UoPeople’s Intellectual Property Policy (Guidelines on Development of Course 
Materials) requires interpretation and review, a standing committee will be formed, appointed by the 
Provost, to settle such disputes.
