Volunteer
Volunteer peer note-takers wanted!
Did you know that it is likely that one out of 10 students in your class will require assistance with note-taking due to having an invisible disability? Are you a great note-taker who enjoys helping others?
Become a volunteer peer note-taker!
Students who require the services of a note-taker may have difficulties taking notes due to an invisible or non-visible disability. As a volunteer note-taker you are providing your peers, who have been approved by the CSD for this accommodation, with an essential service to support them in their academic career. Without your support, students may not have access to all of the class notes.
Responsibilities of a note-taker:
- Upload a typed copy of your notes to the CSD web site within 24 hours of each class;
- Attend classes regularly and on time; and
- Contact the CSD if any questions or concerns arise.
Benefits of being a peer note-taker:
- Knowing that you are providing a much needed service to your school community;
- Receive recognition on your co-curricular record or a letter of recommendation;
- Build your resume; and
- Enhance your own note-taking skills.
Become a peer note-taker in three easy steps:
Step one: Start by registering online on the CSD volunteer note-taker site. You will need your network ID and password to register.
Step two: Create your note-taker profile and select the courses that your are interested in being a volunteer note-taker for.
