Become a Peer Note Taker
At times, disabled students may require copies of peer notes to supplement their own activity. A Note Taker provides their notes to assist student(s) with documented needs.
Note Taker responsibilities include:
- Provide notes in a timely manner for their assigned courses (generally within 2-3 days).
-
- Done through Access WashU Note Taker Portal.
- Must be submitted in advance of quizzes, exams, or other time-sensitive needs.
-
- Offer legible work–whether typed or handwritten. While typing is often preferred, it is not mandatory.
- Attend all classes during the semester. When an absence cannot be avoided, it is the Note Taker’s responsibility to find a suitable replacement.
- Respect student privacy. Though a Note Taker generally is not notified of the specific student for whom they are providing notes, at times this occurs. In such situations, it is imperative a Note Taker understand this information should be treated as confidential and not share it with anyone—including friends, classmates, etc.
- Maintain satisfactory academic performance in the class.
Peer Note Taker Eligibility Criteria
- Must be in good academic standing
- Must be enrolled in the course(s) for which a note taking accommodation is necessary.
- Must be eligible to work in U.S., and be able to provide necessary hiring documentation.
