Students may also volunteer to provide notes for students who are eligible for notes as an accommodation for their disability. Student note takers can earn 45 hours of community service for uploading copies of their notes to Clockwork within 24 hours of each class, for a full semester.  Interested students should contact the Note Taking Coordinator with their student ID, course info and section (i.e. HIST 100, sect 8) to sign up. 

Students may also volunteer to provide notes for students who due to their disability are eligible for notes as an accommodation for their disability and the Glean app is not a viable solution. Student note takers can earn either 45 hours of community service or one academic practicum credit EDUC398NT for uploading copies of their notes to Clockwork within 24 hours of each class, for a full semester. Student note takers must complete the proper practicum form received from Disability Services in order to obtain academic credit.

Staff will follow up with interested note takers when a slot is available.
