Students may review their records upon request and may ask for deletions or corrections of the record in a process described in detail in theCode of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. References, recommendations, and other similar documents may carry a voluntary waiver relinquishing the student’s right to review the specific material.
Students may also release their records to others by signing a release available in the offices that maintain records.
The university maintains an electronic address book (directory information), which allows an online user to find a limited set of information for an individual student by searching for the student’s name or university network ID. The address book displays the student’s latest school major, class standing, and, if available, the student’s e-mail address.
If a student does not want all or some of the information released to any person other than IUPUI faculty or staff, a restrainer, applicable until the student asks to have it removed, may be filed with the Office of Registrar. The restrainer will also block all information from appearing in the electronic address book.
IUPUI uses a course management system called Oncourse. Through Oncourse, all students enrolled in a course section will see the names of their classmates unless a student has filed a restraint of information in the Office of the Registrar. The list of names is only available to the instructor and those enrolled in the specific class and does not provide a student’s complete course schedule.
IUPUI does not provide lists of students to outside businesses or agencies. However, because IUPUI participates in federal programs, we are required by federal law to make available to military recruiters the name, address, age, and prior military service status of all students at IUPUI. Visit the registrar’s Web site for more information, including forms.
Copyright law protects a wide range of materials, and it grants that protection automatically to the people who create those materials. A work need not include any copyright notice or other indication of copyright to have legal protection. Examples of possible infringements include music files made available on Web sites or attached to e-mail; software loaded onto more than one computer; copies of videotapes, films, DVDs, CD-ROMs, or other audiovisual works; Web sites that include images and other significant elements of books, feature films, and software.
Copyright is not all bad news. Copying short excerpts of works for limited distribution and access—such as in a multimedia term project submitted to an instructor and not posted on the Internet—may be “fair use” and not an infringement. Students are responsible for learning about fair use and its application to their projects.
Students may learn more about copyright and fair use by visiting the university’s Copyright Management Center Web site.

Our institutional ethic demands that we foster the best possible environment for doing our work as educators, learners, and supporters of the educational process. Therefore, IUPUI does not tolerate discriminatory harassment or intimidation of students, employees, or guests of the university, and responds to complaints of such treatment, providing proper remediation when harassment is determined to have occurred.
No qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of university services, programs, or activities. Reasonable accommodations shall be afforded to the known physical or mental limitations of otherwise qualified individuals.
Questions, concerns, or complaints regarding IUPUI policy and practice with respect to discrimination or harassment may be directed to:
Zachary’s Law
The state of Indiana maintains a registry of individuals who have been convicted of sex offenses committed against minors. As a number of degree programs and specific courses either prepare students to work with minors or place them in contact with minors as a part of the course, enrollment in those courses or programs is not available to anyone who appears on the Sex Offender Registry. Consult individual school sections to see if appearance on the registry will be a barrier to enrollment.
Technology Access, Security, and Use
Many common uses of computers, network accounts, photocopiers, and other resources available at the university can result in violation of copyright law. Those who commit an infringement may be held liable under the law; those who commit the infringement with university equipment or computer networks may also be subject to disciplinary actions, including loss of computing and access privileges. Students are responsible for their own actions and must make the effort to understand the copyright law that protects books, videos, computer software, Web sites, and other works. Just as a person can be the copyright owner of a new work, the same person must recognize the need to respect the rights of others.
IU Policies on Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis pledges to continue its commitment to achieving equal opportunity within the university and throughout American society. Specifically, our policy at IUPUI prohibits discrimination based on arbitrary considerations such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, or veteran status. IUPUI will make every effort to recruit, hire, promote, educate, and provide services to persons based solely on their individual qualifications. Further, we will take affirmative action to overcome the discriminatory effects of traditional practices with regard to people with disabilities, minorities, women, and Vietnam-era veterans.
