Students who qualify for this accommodation may obtain class notes by asking the instructor for copies of lecture notes or by asking a classmate for notes. The Office of Disability Services provides the student with a notetaker packet that includes information for the instructor, the student with a disability, and the volunteer notetaker.  It also includes a supply of NCR paper.  We ask the notetaker to use NCR paper or to provide copies of typed class notes.  The student may ask the instructor to help him/her find a qualified notetaker.  The instructor should expect to see the information sheet which gives the instructor some ideas of how to help the student find a notetaker.

A good notetaker
