UAlbany and Academic Integrity

Undergraduate Academic Regulations
It is very important to read this section of the University's Undergraduate Bulletin. Too many students end up in academic difficulty because they are not familiar with the academic regulations. Do yourself a major favor and read this early in your time at the University.

Using Images and Other Media Ethically

You may have noticed that the images in this guide are all attributed. Not only that, but they are licensed for use such that they can be used in this guide. To be an ethical creator and sharer of information, you will want to make sure you are using images that aren't copyrighted. Below are some good sources for images--but check the details to be sure. Keep in mind that you can share your work via these sites, just as others have shared with you!

Creative Commons
"One goal of Creative Commons is to increase the amount of openly licensed creativity in “the commons” — the body of work freely available for legal use, sharing, repurposing, and remixing. Through the use of CC licenses, millions of people around the world have made their photos, videos, writing, music, and other creative content available for any member of the public to use."
Wikimedia Commons
Millions of media files you can use (and attribute!).
