Early Detection Copyright Violation System
NMU has recently instituted an early detection copyright violation system. It's aim is to detect the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials over the basic peer to peer programs(ex. gnutella, limewire). This system will issue citations for any violations on a daily basis.

- Second infractions - User is deregistered and placed in register lockout for 2 days. Email notice is sent as well.
- Third infractions - User is deregistered and placed in register lockout for 60 days. A review by the dean of students office is initiated. Email notice is sent. This punishment will also be used for any further offenses.
Offenders lose access to NMU's network with the exception of WebCT, NMU e-mail and NMU library homepage.
