Educational photocopying requests

Except as provided under national law, written permission is required to photocopy all Cambridge publications unless they are clearly designated as ‘photocopiable’.

Routine requests for academic photocopying are administered on behalf of Cambridge University Press under licence by a number of Reprographic Rights Organisations (RROs). To avail yourself of these provisions, your institution must have a licence with the relevant RRO within your country.

There are restrictions on the quantity and type of photocopying that is permitted under RRO licences. For all other photocopying requests, refer to 'Permission requests' or, if you are a Cambridge author wishing to photocopy your own material, refer to 'Permission requests from authors' on the left.

Contacts for routine educational photocopying

Institutions in the USA: Copyright Clearance Center (CCC).
