Become a peer notetaker

At times, disabled students may require copies of peer notes to supplement their own activity. A notetaker provides their notes to assist student(s) with documented needs.
Notetaker responsibilities include:

• Provide notes in a timely manner for their assigned courses (generally within 2-3 days).
  • Done through Access WashU Notetaker 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 notetaker’s responsibility to find a suitable replacement.
• Respect student privacy. Though a notetaker 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 notetaker 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.
