Note-taking Procedures 

You must be approved by your Student Disability Services Counselor for a student note taker accommodation before you can use the note-taking system. The following procedures only apply to you if you have been approved for a note-taking accommodation.

Step 1

You must indicate that you require a note taker for each course that you would like to receive notes for. Click on the 'Courses / Notes' link in the main menu, then click on 'No - change this' beside each course for which you require a note taker.
 

Step 2

If a note taker is available for a course you will see a button titled 'select a note taker' in the 'Note taker availability' column of your course list. Click on the button to view the list of available note takers. You are able to browse sample notes that each note taker has uploaded in order to help you make your decision.
 

Step 3

Once you have selected a note taker, you are able to download the notes that have been uploaded by your notetaker. Click on the 'Notes' button beside the course you wish to download notes for. Please be sure to check SDS Connect for new notes on a weekly basis, and download new notes as they become available. If you wait until the night before a test or exam, the system could be unavailable and no one will be able to assist you after hours.
