Overview
The following steps outline the procedure for students, faculty, and volunteer notetakers to follow when arranging for notetaking services for students approved for this service.
Steps for Student
- Meet with your instructor(s) and let them know you need a notetaker for class. At this time check with your instructor to see if online or instructor notes are available.
- If no online notes or instructor notes are available, request a Notetaker Locator Form from front desk personnel at the Disabilities Resource Center (DRC).
- Print your name and course information on the form.
- Give the front (white) copy of the Notetaker Locator Form to front desk personnel in DRC.
- Give the back (yellow) copy of the form to your instructor.
Steps for Instructor
- We endeavor to protect the identity of the students receiving notetaking services. For that reason, do not identify the student needing services when you make the following announcement to your class:
- “The Disabilities Resource Center needs a copy of notes from this class. We are looking for a volunteer from this class to provide notes. The notes need to be legible and need to be provided consistently throughout the term. Anyone interested in providing a copy of his or her notes from class is invited to talk with me as soon as possible”
- After screening applicants, designate one person to be the notetaker for all students with disabilities in this class.
- Have the designated notetaker return all Notetaker Locator Forms collected by you for your class to the Disabilities Resource Center in S-229.
Steps for Notetaker
- Please deliver signed Notetaker Locater Form to the Disabilities Resource Center in S-229.
- Be prepared to spend several minutes in S-229 to complete paper work and receive instructions on duplication and distribution of your notes.
