ADA/Section 504 Exception
A student approved for reasonable academic access accommodations, is allowed to record, if an audio and/or video recording of classroom activity will specifically address the student’s need for equal access to the learning environment. The Office of Learning Support must approve this request in advance. This policy addresses the intellectual property rights of faculty; the recording of human conversations without all party’s knowledge of the recording as allowed by Illinois State Law (Illinois Compiled Statutes: 720 ILCS 5/26-4a); and complying with student academic accommodations under federal law (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq.; 34 C.F.R. § 104.44.). https://www.nl.edu/learningsupport/adaaccommodations/
Students in violation of the University Policy on Recording of Synchronous Classroom Activity should be addressed directly by the course instructor through the University Policy on Disruptive Classroom Behavior.
