Students, Faculty, and Staff may use Corbis images only for Non-Commercial, Educational Purposes, which means the use of a Corbis Image as part of any Academic Course of Study; Course Work; in Classroom Materials; or in an Educational Laboratory Setting, as those terms are defined below.
Art-Related Academic Course of Study means any official class offered by the school and completed by a student in pursuit of an educational degree or certificate or diploma that is recognized by an appropriate accrediting body, and which focuses on the arts, advertising, marketing, graphic design, media and/or visual communications.
Course Work means non-commercial, educational work required as part of an Art-Related Academic Course of Study.
Educational Laboratory Setting means non-commercial, educational work completed during an Art-Related Academic Course of Study that allows a student to gain practical experience or to apply what he/she has learned to hypothetical non-commercial projects.

Non-Commercial means the work must be for educational use, and not on behalf of an actual client. Authorized users may create works that advertise or promote a fictional product or service, or when used in a student Portfolio or other “mock project”, to advertise a product or service for the sole purpose of demonstrating the skills and talent of the end user, but not otherwise used to advertise the product or service of any person or entity.
