Note-taker accommodation

Students who are eligible for the Note-Taker Accommodation must register with Disability Resources for the semester they want to use the accommodation, and must also make a request through the Student AXess Portal, for each class they require the accommodation.

Once the student is registered and requests a note-taker for the needed classes, the process for receiving notes is as follows:

• Students are given access to a professional notetaking service. They are set up with a user ID and password, and emailed a link to the service.
• The student will record the lecture using any recording device of their choosing.
• Each lecture recording is uploaded to the students notetaking service account by the student.
• The notetaking service will return a written summary of the lecture within 24 hours. Students are notified via email when the lecture summary is available.
• Students may view the lecture summary online or download a text version to their computer / mobile device.
