Note-taking Procedures
You must be approved by your advisor for a notetaker accommodation before you can use the note-taking system. The following procedures only apply to you if you have been approved for a note-taking accommodation.
How do I request notes?
-
Indicate each course you require a volunteer notetaker in.
-
To indicate that you require notetaking for a course, change I require a notetaker from No to Yes by clicking change this link. An automatic email will be sent to the professor to make an in-class announcement.
-
If/when course notes are available, you will be able to see them on under the column My Lecture Notes. You must select one notetaker, based on the available uploaded sample notes.
No notes are available for my class, what should I do?
If no course notes are available, please reach out to arc@unbc.ca. We will then reach out to the professor to make another announcement. Additionally, we can remind volunteers to upload notes. There may be times when you will be re-directed to your Advisor for other notetaking support options.
What should I do if my notetaker stops uploading notes?
Please reach out to arc@unbc.ca. We can reach out to the volunteer notetaker to remind them to upload course notes, or if the notetaker is no longer available, we can reach out to the professor again to make another announcement.
What should I do if my professor does not make an announcement for volunteer notetaking?
Please reach out to arc@unbc.ca
Are notes guaranteed?
As this is a volunteer program, peer notes are not guaranteed. ARC works with the volunteers and professors to do everything we can to have notes available. If/when notetaking cannot be provided, we will work together on other support options.
