Notetakers
Notetaking accommodations are available for students with a number of different disabilities. Typically a student who receives notetaking accommodations has limitations with attention, processing, and/or a physical limitation. This accommodation is provided in a few ways including the use of assistive technology, the provision of materials in advance to facilitate the notetaking process, or by soliciting all the students who are registered in the course to find another student to take notes and share them with the registered Student Accessibility student. Notetakers are selected on a first come first serve basis. Please sign up early.
