Copyright Permissions Check

Permission request template

The permission request template may be used to request permission to copy/reproduce copyright-protected material where the copyright holder is known.
The template request must be adapted to your specific request by providing all of the necessary information (see text in blue) and may be sent via email or as a hard copy permission request letter.
A copy of any permissions that you obtain for the use of copyright protected materials for BCIT learning and teaching purposes MUST be retained for your records.
If you have any questions about the permission request template or require assistance in seeking permissions, please contact copyright@bcit.ca for assistance.
