Recordings for Current Semester Class Use Only
Faculty may record class sessions on Zoom to make an archived recording available
to enrolled students who need them for the class. However, please do not record class
sessions for access or viewing by a broader audience, as such use will require specific
written consent from students who are recorded.
If you intend to make a Class Recording (for current semester class use only), the
following recording notice must be provided in the syllabus to students:
Class Syllabus Statement - Recording
In this class, software will be used to record live class discussions. As a student
in this class, your participation in live class discussions will be recorded to assist
those who cannot attend the live session, or to serve as a resource for those who
would like to review content that was presented. These recordings will be made available only to
students who are enrolled in the class, and only during the period in which the course
is offered. Students who prefer to participate via audio only will be allowed to
disable their video camera so only audio will be captured. Please discuss this option
with your instructor prior to class.
Recordings for Future Classes
Please do not use images of students in previously recorded class sessions for use
in future classes (or with broader audiences) without the written consent of the students
appearing in the recordings. The written consent must consist of a description of
the disclosures you will make outside of the current class, including to whom, by
what means, and for what purpose. Written consents under FERPA must be signed and
dated by the student, and are only effective for one (1) year unless you obtain a
renewed written consent.
Zoom Cloud Recording Retention Schedule
On January 1st, 2021, Chapman University implemented a new Zoom Cloud Recording Retention
Schedule, which is that all Zoom Cloud recordings will expire 120 days after recording, meaning that they will be moved to your Trash folder on the Zoom Cloud.
Recordings moved to the Zoom Trash will be permanently deleted after 30 days. More info can be found on the Recovering a deleted local or loud recording Zoom support page.
Note: You must download the recording to your computer immediately after restoring deleted
items, or they will get purged again.
