Peer Note Takers

Peer note takers are volunteers from the same class who upload their course notes for the student to download. These notes are intended to supplement the notes which the student receiving accommodations takes themselves. 

To provide peer note taking assistance, we work with your professor to identify a classmate to share notes with you. This is an anonymous process completed through AIM. If you would like to request a note taker, please use AIM to request accommodations.
