NoteService Accommodations

There are several options for securing a NoteSupplier.  The DRC student and the instructor should decide on which option to utilize:

  1. The DRC student may choose a NoteSupplier.
  2. Instructor makes an announcement at the start of class or sends a class email (do not identify the student) that a NoteSupplier is needed for this class.  A script is provided for your convenience in the NoteService Packet (page 2) under “Instructor Responsibilities”.
  3. Instructor can recruit a NoteSupplier by observing students' classroom traits (e.g. attendance, listening skills, participation, quiz/test scores).  Once you have identified a likely recruit approach that student and request their assistance in filling a vital need for your class.
  4. Instructor may supply student with copies of his/her own course notes.
  5. Instructor and DRC student periodically meet and review the DRC student's own notes for appropriateness or missing information.
  6. If you are still having trouble securing a NoteSupplier, contact the DRC.

Instructions for recording and supplying notes are included for the NoteSupplier in the NoteService Packet on pages 3 & 4 (NoteSupplier's Job Description).

Once a NoteSupplier has been designated, completed pages 5 & 6 of the NoteService Packet should be returned to the DRC immediately.

The DRC student is responsible for attending class on a regular basis. Having a NoteSupplier does not excuse him/her from attending class. If the NoteSupplier misses class for any reason, he/she is still responsible for providing a set of notes for that day. If attendance becomes an issue or you have any questions, please contact the DRC at 392-8565x200 or noteservice@dso.ufl.edu

The DRC prefers only one designated NoteSupplier per class. In the event that there is more than one student in a class requiring a NoteSupplier, follow the instructions in the NoteService Packet at the bottom of page 2.
