Course Pack Production

  1. The University has renewed the licence agreements on course pack production by photocopying and scanning, and entered into a new licence agreement combining both (the “Licence Agreements”) with The Hong Kong Reprographic Rights Licensing Society Limited (“HKRRLS”) for a term of two years from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2026 for producing course packs for students with materials licensed from licensing bodies through the HKRRLS.  The cost of course pack comprises the following licence fee for 2025 and 2026 payable to HKRRLS within the reproduction limits as set out in the Licence Agreements, plus the charges for reprographic services as promulgated by the Reprographic Unit of CPA from time to time:

    (a) For photocopying / scanning: $1.16/page; and
    (b) For photocopying cum scanning: $1.85/page
     
  2. You are reminded to observe the terms and conditions of the Licence Agreements and the provisions of the Copyright Ordinance.
     
  3. Extracts of the Licence Agreements and the procedural guidelines for course pack production are available on the FO intranet at URL: https://www.polyu.edu.hk/fo/.  If you have any queries on the above, please send your enquiries via email to fo.coursepack@polyu.edu.hk.
     
  4. If you require any clarification on the Copyright Ordinance regarding the use of non-HKRRLS licensed materials, e.g. those administered by The Hong Kong Copyright Licensing Association, please seek advice from our Head of Legal, Risk and Compliance Unit at elaine.ml.chow@polyu.edu.hk.
