FACULTY: Note-taking Accommodation Procedures
January 10, 2007 | EditorDisability Resource Services’ Note-taking accommodation procedures for MATC faculty:
The qualified student with a disability must present you two pieces of information to receive note-taking services.
- Accommodation Card from Disability Resource Services. (Review and give back to the student.)
- Note-taking request form (Check appropriate option regarding notes.)
Note: A student must provide you with both documents to utilize note-taking services in your class. If a student does not, please refer them to Disability Resource Services, Truax 159 or DTEC 109.
- Once the student presents you with the aforementioned documents, please discuss how to best make the note-taking accommodation with the student. Faculty has two options regarding note-taking:
a. Provide a student with a copy of your own lecture notes. If you select this option, please return this form promptly to DRS.
b. Solicit a student note-taker from the class. - If you are not going to provide your notes, make an in-class announcement regarding the need for a student note-taker to the class. A student is reimbursed $50 a credit for his/her notes. Note: If the student takes notes for more than 1 student in the class, he/she will be reimbursed $25 a credit for these additional students. Please keep the student’s name confidential when making the announcement.
- If no one volunteers in the first class period, please make the in-class announcement at the beginning of the second class.
- Give the student note-taker the note-taking request form and send them to Disability Resource Services (Truax 159; DTEC 109).
- Notify Disability Support Services (246-6716) of any difficulties in locating a note-taking volunteer or with any other concerns.
