IB COPYRIGHT POLICY ON STUDENT WORK

Article 6.2 of the General Regulations:

"6.2 Candidates retain copyright in all materials submitted for assessment purposes, but by submitting those materials, subject to article 6.4, candidates and their legal guardians thereby grant the IB a nonexclusive, charge-free, worldwide licence, for the duration of the applicable jurisdiction’s copyright protection, to reproduce submitted materials, to use the image and voice of the candidate where they appear on audio or video materials and to reproduce any musical performances in any medium for assessment, educational, training, commercial and/or promotional purposes relating to the IB’s activities, or to related activities of which it approves. Such licenses become effective from the date of submission to the IB."

"6.4 Under exceptional circumstances, a candidate and/or a candidate’s legal guardian may withdraw the aspects of the licence relating to use of a candidate’s work outside an assessment context, as referred to in article 6.2, for a specific piece of work. In such cases, the IB must be notified in accordance with the procedure described in the Diploma Programme Assessment procedures. The candidate must submit a written notification to the school’s DP coordinator, who has the duty to inform the IB by the due date set forth in the Diploma Programme Assessment procedures. In these cases, the IB will use the material only for assessment purposes, as defined in article 6.5."
