5. It is the student’s responsibility to speak with the note taker if there is a problem with the notes. If the problem is not resolved, then ask for assistance from the note taking coordinator. If the note taker is not showing up to class, please notify the coordinator immediately so a new note taker can be provided.

If a student is unable to attend class due to a disability related reason or emergency, or for an extended period of time, it is mandatory that you contact the note-taking coordinator and the note taker. In some instances or special circumstances, it will be approved for the note taker to attend class. It is the student’s responsibility to get approval from their assigned Program Specialist if a special circumstance arises.
8. Students are required to pick up notes in a timely manner (weekly). If there becomes an issue with student’s not picking up notes, your services will be suspended and you will be required to meet with a Program Specialist to continue your services.
