Note-takers

Some students have disabilities that warrant a note-taker. However, certain guidelines must be followed.

Note-takers will:  

• Use a note-taking pad or their own notes to make a copy for students with disabilities
• Attend class on time and be prepared to take notes

• Wait for students outside of class even if students request this
• Be responsible for ensuring that students with disabilities complete assignments properly or on time
• Answer questions about course content or assignments when these questions would be better directed to the instructor
• Take notes for students when they are not present, except for specific arrangements due to health conditions

• Be responsible for acquiring note-taking pads from the Center for Disability Services for use by their note-taker
• Arrive in class early enough to supply the note-taker with materials
• Read over their notes to check for assignments and important dates
• Ask the note-taker about anything in the notes that is not clear
