Note Taking

Students requesting notetaking services must have supporting documentation on file in Accessibility Services. Once documentation is received, the student should set up a meeting to establish an academic accommodation plan by contact Accessibility Services at 507-537-6492.

Process for Requesting a Peer Notetaker

1. After setting up your accommodations with Accessibility Services staff, complete the Request for Notetaker form and return it to Accessibility Service.
2. Accessibility Services will attempt to find a peer note taker in collaboration with the professor. The professor will announce the need for a note taker until the request is filled.  The notetaking process is confidential, and the identity of the student requesting the notes will remain confidential.
   • The student needing notetaking services should inform Accessibility Services if an announcement is not made in their class.
   • Note will be provided in one of these forms: paper copy, emailed, PDF for uploaded into D2L.
3. Notetaking services are NOT a substitute for class attendance. You must attend class, take notes, collect handouts, and participate in discussions.
4. Students receiving notetaking services must inform Accessibility Services if they drop a class or if they have concerns about the adequacy of the service.
