- If you publish a textbook that a Michigan college or university, public or private, including a junior or community college, has adopted for instructional use, furnish the college or university an electronic version of it on request when the book is for a literary subject, or for a nonliterary subject when technology exists to convert it directly to a format compatible with braille translation software (MCL 390.1543).
- Do not charge more for that electronic version than you charge for the print or electronic media version of the textbook (MCL 390.1543).

- If you are an educational institution (a public or private school, school district, school system or other institution, or its agent), do not request a student or prospective student to grant access to, allow observation of, or disclose information that allows access to or observation of a personal internet account (MCL 37.274(a)).
- Do not expel, discipline, fail to admit or otherwise penalize a student or prospective student for refusing to grant, allow or disclose access to a personal internet account (MCL 37.274(b)).
- If you act as an agent of an educational institution, the same prohibitions bind you, because the Act defines an educational institution to include its agent (MCL 37.272(b)).
