You may find our information in the Crime Statistics on the National Center for Education

In accordance with Public Law 93-380, Section 438 FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT, and Florida Statute 229.782, Humboldt International University student educational records are confidentially maintained. Further, students have the right to inspect their educational records, correct such records if warranted, and students are protected from the release of information without written consent. All students’ records are open for inspection and review by the student unless he or she waives the right. Humboldt International University can have a student sign an all-inclusive release form for records and other information, such as for prospective employers, or can have a student sign an individual release form for each request of information. This information will be released from the Director’s office or designee only, after the requestor has demonstrated a legitimate need to have such information.
Copyright is legal protection for creative intellectual works, which is broadly interpreted
to cover almost any expression of an idea. Text (including email and Web information),
graphics, arts, photographs, video and other media types, music, and software are examples
of types of works protected by copyright. The creator of the work, or sometimes the person
who hired the creator, is the initial copyright owner.
Copyright infringement (or copyright violation) is the unauthorized or prohibited use of
works covered by copyright law, in a way that violates one of the copyright owner's
exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make
derivative works. It is against policy for any student, faculty, staff member, consultant,
contractor or other worker at the University to copy, reproduce, share, or distribute any
software, music, games, or movies on except as expressly permitted by a software license or
with the written consent of the copyright holder or as otherwise permitted under federal
law. Willful infringement may subject a student or employee to discipline and can impact the
privilege to use information technology resources at the institution.
Uploading or downloading works protected by copyright without the authority of the copyright
owner is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive rights of reproduction and/or
distribution. Even an innocent, unintentional infringement violates the law.
Anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages for
each work infringed and, if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner, that
amount may be increased for each work infringed. In addition, an infringer of a work may
also be liable for the attorney's fees incurred by the copyright owner to enforce his or her
rights. Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In
general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either
actual damages or "statutory" damages. For details, see Title 17, United States Code,
Sections 504, 505. Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties,
including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.
