Case Study: Cummings Graduate Institute saves time and money with Copyright Clearance Center's Annual Copyright License for Higher Education

Cummings Graduate Institute opens access to more content with Copyright Clearance Center's ACLHE

Cummings Graduate Institute (CGI), a nonprofit online graduate school, faced the challenge of securing copyright permissions for course materials, an onerous and expensive process that was difficult to manage as the school grew. Lori Christianson, Director of the Electronic Campus, previously had to purchase permissions individually through Copyright Clearance Center's copyright.com, which sometimes restricted content use due to high costs.

By implementing the Annual Copyright License for Higher Education from Copyright Clearance Center, CGI streamlined its permissions process. The solution saved time and money, eliminated the financial barrier to using content, and improved the quality of materials for students. Faculty gained the ability to use far more content than before, directly supporting the institution's growth.
