Most schools agree that the professor has the right to allow or disallow class lectures from being recorded. If you record class lectures without getting the professor's approval and he or she finds out, he or she may be able to take actions against you (i.e., reducing your grades, failing you in the class).
To be safe, check your student handbook or policy guide, then speak with the academic affairs department and ask if professors are allowed to take actions against you for recording class lectures without permission.

Some professors have strict rules against recording their classes.
If they catch you recording without permission, they can legally throw you out (read the student handbook, it should have something their). Recording rights are a kind of intellectual property right.
The reason they wouldn't want you recording? The Prof might be working on a book, and the notes in class could be related to that (that's what they tell me). I know, if you're a speed writer you could get that information anyway. They just don't like the sound of their own voices on tape/cd I think.

Ever since recording devices were commonplace in the 1970's, college classes have been recorded in toto.
I remember taking an Economics class and recording that professor's horrible English for my dad so he could hear what I had to put up with in struggling to understand the lessons and take notes in his class! Otherwise, my dad might not have believed me.

It can be. You are supposed to get permission from the prof before hand in case there is some data he doesn’t want out there. Also as long as it's not being posted somewhere else (internet) and for personal use it should be ok. It all comes down to the presenter and the school policy.
