I received a letter stating a student is eligible for the note-taking accommodation, how does that work?
Our note taking program is carried out in a confidential manner in which a student volunteers a copy of their notes in order to supplement those of the registered student with a disability. Not every student receives this accommodation and only those whose disabilities impact their ability to write and take notes will be eligible. You do not have to make an announcement. Our office will email the class to obtain a volunteer. Students interested in being a volunteer note taker should reply to the email that is sent to them. Note takers scan their notes and upload them to a secure website. The notes are then forwarded to the student registered with DS. Volunteer note-takers receive community service hours for their time and may indicate this valuable service on their resumes. Please click on the Note Taking Information for Faculty link for more information related to note-takers.
