Notetaking

Students requesting notetaking services must have supporting documentation on file in Accessibility Resources. Once documentation is received, the student should set up a meeting to establish an academic accommodation plan by contacting ar@mnsu.edu or 507-389-2825.

Process for Requesting a Peer Notetaker

1. After setting up your accommodations with Accessibility Resources staff, log into your MavAccess account to request a peer notetaker for the class(es) you need.
2. Accessibility Resources (AR) staff will attempt to find a peer notetaker in collaboration with the professor. The professor will announce the need for a notetaker each class period until the request is fulfilled. The notetaking process is confidential, and the identity of the student requesting the notes will remain confidential.
   • The student needing notetaking services must inform Accessibility Resources staff if an announcement is not made in their class.
   • Notes will be provided via MavAccess.
3. Notetaking services are NOT a substitute for class attendance. You must attend class, take notes, collect handouts, and participate in discussions.
4. Students receiving notetaking services must inform Accessibility Resources if they drop a class or if they have concerns with the adequacy of the service.
