The following guidelines have been prepared in order to assist faculty with using SafeAssign in a manner that is compliant with FERPA regulations.
Faculty should NOT submit papers to SafeAssign on behalf of students.
Faculty who would like to require students to submit their papers to SafeAssign will include the following notice on their syllabus:
