How to copyright personal code

I am writing a program using VBA because its readily available, the code will be available to Cracks even though I password protect it. I knew this when I chose VBA because portability is more important than protection. My question relates to copyright, I put copyright and my name in the code and on the spread sheet to indicate it is my program but is this enough when people start copying the code?
Do you have a strong legal version which I could place in my code?

Use the word “Apple” and “Safari” in my application

Not copyrighting code and then reusing functions later

I’m coding something for my job to copy directories and then use regex to make all the filenames uniform. I’m an undergrad student programmer for my university and I’m not sure what a professional coder would consider reasonable in this case. My job is mostly to implement mathematical research. The current assignment is outside what I’ve been doing and seems like it would be really useful to have some of the functions available in case I (most likely) encounter a similar assignment at some point in my career in the future. It’s going to be really useful because the current filenames are so screwed right now that the admin assistants can’t really keep up (and even trying to do so might just cause more human error). I’m thinking that it may not overall be useful outside the current assignment because the regex will be so customised to the way the file are incorrectly named.
