Disability Services (DS) provides class
notes as an accommodation to students who have a documented disability that
adversely affects their ability to take their own notes and the student has
been determined eligible for this accommodation.
Procedures for Requesting a Note
Taker
-
Note taking must be an approved
accommodation noted on your Disability Certification for Faculty (DCF)
form.
-
When you present the DCF form to
your instructor, you will discuss your note taking needs. If the
instructor posts his/her notes, you likely won’t need a note taker
for the class.
-
You will inform DS about the
courses for which you will require notes by going to www.mnstate.edu/disability,
clicking on Request a Note Taker, and completing the form for each
class for which a note taker is needed.
-
After you have submitted the
Request a Note Taker form, you will receive an email notifying you
that you need to visit Disability
Services in CMU 114 to receive a Class Announcement to give to the
instructor for each class for which notes are needed. The instructor
will read the Class Announcement requesting a volunteer note taker.
Once a volunteer note taker is identified, the instructor will give
the note taker the Class Announcement and direct them to Disability
Services so the volunteer can be registered as your note taker.
-
Once the volunteer note taker is
registered with DS, you will be notified via email of the note
taker’s name, email, phone number and how the note taker will
provide the notes to you.
Your Responsibilities:
-
Attend class regularly. Notes are
not a substitute for attendance.
-
You should work with the note
taker to ensure the notes are of high quality and provided in a
timely manner.
-
You should report any unresolved
problems, those lasting longer than one week, to DS immediately so
appropriate steps can be taken to correct the situation.
-
If you are concerned about the
quality of notes being provided, please ask the instructor to
evaluate them.
-
You must pick up your notes at
least once per week if you are receiving them through Copies
Plus or the service will be discontinued.
-
You must notify DS immediately if
a class is dropped.
By submitting the Request for Note
Taker form, I agree to follow the procedures listed above.
