Copyright owners frequently hire agents to scan university
networks for copyrighted materials that are available to others
from computer systems on the network. UB receives many
notices from these organizations alleging copyright
infringement. If you download and/or distribute unauthorized

The general education requirements for freshmen entering UB
in Fall 2007 are the same for everyone with one exception:
students actually graduating in some majors, including all
engineering majors, are exempt from having proficiency in a
foreign language. Engineers usually satisfy the University's
mathematics, depth, and natural sciences requirements with
their required math and science courses. If however, you
change your major before completing these requirements, or
change to a major that is required to demonstrate foreign
language proficiency, you will need to satisfy these
Board
requirements in order to graduate.
