  • The template request must be adapted to your specific request by providing all of the necessary information (see text in blue) and may be sent via email or as a hard copy permission request letter.
  • A copy of any permissions that you obtain for the use of copyright protected materials for BCIT learning and teaching purposes MUST be retained for your records.
  • If you have any questions about the permission request template or require assistance in seeking permissions, please contact copyright@bcit.ca for assistance.

Request for copyright permissions check

We will determine whether the work you wish to copy is covered by a BCIT licence agreement. Normally we will get back to you within three to five days. For some requests, additional time is needed to conduct a thorough search of permissions.

  • Please include as much information as possible: author, title, date, publisher, place of publication, ISBN, page numbers, web address, description of digital content, etc.
  • If this is a rush request, please indicate a date by which a response is required.
