Note takers are recruited in the following ways:
Course instructors are sent information with the Accommodation Letters on how to recruit a note taker for their class but there may not have been any recruitment messages posted in your class yet. Please inform AccessAbility Services if you have not seen any note taker recruitment messages in your class, or on Quercus so we can follow up with your course instructor or TA. If you have any questions, please contact us at notetaking.utsc@utoronto.ca or call 416-287-7560.
Alternatively, if you feel comfortable you can also send an electronic notetaking package to your professor directly asking that they make an in-class announcement for notetakers.
Electronic Note Taking Packages contains 2 documents:
-
- Information on recruiting peer note takers which includes suggested text for an in-class announcement
-
- to be added to the course page or Power Point slide deck.
Note: If there are no note takers available for your course one week after your Instructor's recruitment announcement, you must inform AccessAbility Services. We will schedule additional recruitment measures.
Failure to submit your note taking requests in the proposed timeline may impact our ability to implement the accommodations in a timely manner.
