Netflix

Netflix logo

Netflix does not sell licenses to its films or television series. They do grant permission for one-time educational screenings for some Netflix original educational documentaries. This means "you can't hold screenings several times in one day or one week - but if, for example, you're an educator who wants to show these films or series once a semester over multiple semesters, that's okay."

Faculty must use their personal account when showing a Netflix film or show in class.
