Cardinal Scholar >

Submission Coordinator's Agreement

As a designated submission coordinator for material deposited in the Cardinal Scholar Institutional Repository by the Ball State University division indicated in the submission process, the division has authorized me to serve as their representative in all dealings with Cardinal Scholar. As the coordinator, I ensure that I have read all of the Cardinal Scholar Guidelines. Furthermore, I have made sure that the administrators of the corporate body that I am representing understand the terms and conditions of those guidelines, including the language of the standard deposit license below and that they have granted me the authority to submit content on their behalf.

The standard deposit license states:

I hereby grant to Ball State University the non-exclusive right to retain, reproduce, transfer and distribute the deposited work in whole or in part worldwide in print and electronic format and in any media, including but not limited to audio or video.

This agreement does not represent a transfer of copyright to Ball State University

I agree that Ball State University may make and keep multiple copies of the work and may transfer the work to any media or format for the purposes of security, backup, preservation and access.

I represent and warrant to Ball State University that the work is my original work. I also represent that the work does not, to the best of my knowledge, infringe or violate any rights of others. No Social Security numbers are included in the work and all use of human subjects in support of the work has been cleared by the Ball State University Institutional Review Board.

I further represent and warrant that I have obtained all necessary rights to permit Ball State University to reproduce, transfer and distribute the work and that any third-party owned content is clearly identified and acknowledged within the work.

Faculty sponsorship of exemplary student work requires the permission of the student, to be obtained according to FERPA regulations using the Student Work Permission Form.

By granting this license, I acknowledge that I have read and agreed to the terms of this agreement and all related Cardinal Scholar and Ball State University guidelines and policies, especially the specific deposit agreement that pertains to me as outlined on the Deposit Agreements page.

Ball State University will clearly identify your name(s) as the author(s) or owner(s) of the submission, and will not make any alteration, other than as allowed by this license, to your deposited work.
