Most images are copyright protected, however, as a student, there are exceptions in the Copyright Act that allow you to use copyright-protected images without requiring permission. These exceptions only apply to in-class assignments and on-campus presentations. If your student work is presented or displayed off-campus, please contact the Copyright Advisor for more information, since the exceptions no longer apply in this situation. And remember that images are no different than any type of information you borrow, they need to be properly cited.
Questions about copyright? The MHC Copyright Advisor, Chelsey Ehresman would be happy to help. She can be contacted at cehresman@mhc.ab.ca or (403) 529-3835
Use Creative Commons image websites. Creative Commons images are clearly labeled, which makes it easier to cite as well as understand how you are permitted to use the image.
