Who Are Notetakers?
- Notetakers are Trent students who attend their own classes, and in doing so aid someone else’s access to the information being presented.
Who Receives These Notes?
- The Disability Services Office provides support for students with a wide range of diagnosed disabilities. All those who are receiving support from the office have documentation (from an appropriate professional) of their disability and the impact it has on their academic achievement.
- Receiving notes from the Disability Services Office is not a replacement for attending class. It is simply providing the necessary notes so that the student may process the information in a way which best suits their learning style.
Perks of Being a Notetaker
- Attend volunteer appreciation events
- Chances to win draw prizes
- The knowledge that you are helping to remove barriers to another student’s learning.
- The Centre for Academic Testing will supply a letter of reference or a certificate at the end of the academic year (for use in a portfolio, etc.) upon request.
- Can be added to your CoCurricular Record
