Students registered with the Disability Resource Center who have been approved for a peer notetaker may request a peer notetaker in their courses by completing this form.
•Once this form is completed, a copy of the form is place on file in the Disability Resource Center, and a copy is provided for the professor.
•The student and professor work together to ensure that notes from a peer in the course are provided. The process of duplication and sharing of notes are confirmed.
•Many professors post notes or PowerPoint materials, so contact your professor prior to completing the form to determine if the form is necessary.
•When notes are handwritten, the Disability Resource Center will bear the cost of copying the notes.
Below are the guidelines for receiving a peer notetaker as an accommodation. Please review and check each statement, then type your name below:
•I will not share the notes I receive with anyone else. These notes are the property of the volunteer and are being shared with me in confidence.
•I will only request notes for the classes I need.
•If I drop a class that I requested notes for, I will let the volunteer know.
•I will contact the Disability Resource Center if the peer notetaker is not uploading their notes, if I have concerns about the quality of the notes, or if I have any additional issues or questions. If I wait until the end of the semester to report any issues, there may be little that can be done at that point in time.
