Many instructors within the College will use Panopto (UICapture) to record lectures, engage in classroom activities, or to use the ICON Note Depot in order to provide a reasonable accommodation for a student. However, as noted in the 25-26 CLAS syllabus template, students are not permitted to audio or video record classroom activities without authorization. Please see the University Course Policies and Resources for Students page.  

"The unauthorized video or audio recording of academic activities (e.g., lectures, course discussions, office hours, etc.) by a student is prohibited. Students with a reasonable accommodation for recording approved by Student Disability Services should notify each instructor and provide the Letter of Accommodation prior to using the accommodation. A student may record classroom activities with prior written permission from the instructor and notice to other students in the class that audio or video recording may occur. Any and all classroom recording must be for personal academic use only. The distribution, sharing, sale, or posting of recordings on the internet (including social media), in whole or in part, is prohibited and doing so may be a violation of the Code of Student Life and/or state or federal privacy, copyright, or other laws." 

We recommend that instructors review this policy with their students within the first few weeks of class.
