Note Use Policy

The notes on file in the Test and Study lab are to be used by three groups of students:

• Students with diagnosed learning disabilities, who are enrolled in Student Academic Support Services program.
  
  
• Students enrolled in the ESL Program (when notes are available because a student with a diagnosed learning disability previously requested them for the semester).

• Students that have medical documentation of an extended illness or serious injury.

  
  Note-Taking System

  Our note-taking system may be used by students with diagnosed disabilities when indicated by educational documentation on file and deemed appropriate by the student's Comprehensive Advisor. Approved students may request a note-taker by contacting the Testing and Study Lab Coordinator (Haymond 202) and completing the appropriate note-taking application form. It is important that the student request notes early in the semester; the Testing and Study Lab staff members need sufficient time to process student requests.

  The following conditions apply to the note-taking service:

• Students are expected to use the notes on a regular basis and as soon as possible after class. Notes are discontinued if students are not using them on a weekly basis.
  
• Notes must be used in Haymond 202.
  
• Notes are not to be photocopied unless specified by medical/educational documentation. Students should rework their notes by comparing them with those of the note-taker.
  
• Notes are kept on reserve for one week at a time.
