Note-Taker Procedures

1. Once a note-taker has been identified, he/she returns the Note-taking Request Form to DRS, Truax 159, or DTEC 109. Students at the Regional Campuses should return the form to the DRS Specialist at each campus.
2. The note-taker reviews the Note-taker Guidelines Powerpoint presentation. This is required.
3. The Note-taker signs the Note-Taker Information/Agreement form.

Key Points for Note-takers

1. Attend all classes.
2. Provide notes to the student receiving note-taking services in a timely fashion.
3. Provide clear and concise notes to the student in accordance with the Note-Taker Information/Agreement form.
4. If a note-taker is taking notes for more than 1 student in the same class, he/she may photocopy notes in the duplicating center, Truax 215E or DTEC 109. The student will use a copier-code and is not required to pay for copies of notes out-of-pocket. The copier code will be given to the note-taker by a Disability Resource Specialist.
5. Note: When the note-taker is unable to attend class, he or she should notify the student 24 hours in advance of the absence.

When filling out the note-taker Information/Agreement form, please be advised of the following information.

1. Student note-takers must complete a note-taker information/agreement form for EACH CLASS that you will be taking notes in. For example, if you are taking notes in three classes, you must complete 3 note-taking information/agreement forms.
2. If you are taking notes for more than 1 student in the same class, each student request must be noted on the note-taker information/agreement form. If it is not, we can not reimburse you for those notes.
3. If you begin to take notes for another student in the same class AFTER the semester has started, you must report this to Disability Resource Services (Truax 159). You will need to submit the white note-taking request for the additional student to ensure reimbursement.
4. Please make sure all contact information is current. The payment for your notes will be sent to this name and address.
5. Please make sure that all information is legible. If we cannot read the information, your payment may be delayed until we can clarify the needed information.
6. Please attach the white note-taking request form to the white note-taking agreement form. If it is not attached we will not be able to reimburse you for the notes you have taken.
7. If a student drops the class before it is completed, the note-taker will have their payment prorated based on the number of weeks he/she took notes for that student.
