Disability Services for Students
Notetaking Services
Notetaking services are an accommodation beneficial for a number of highly varied disabilities. At SOU, our notetakers are students taking the same course as a student requesting the service, with the same stakes for having good notes. Our notetakers are usually highly motivated, thorough students who want to make a difference in their community. In return for their services, notetakers who successfully complete a quarter of services receive a $50 stipend per class in the form of an SOU Bookstore voucher.
Notetakers make copies (either photocopies or electronically) of their own class notes and submit them to DSS for distribution to the requestor. The requesting student's identity is kept confidential throughout this process, though the student has every right to choose to identify themselves to the notetaker if desired.
