Note Taking
Note taking as an accommodation is available only to students who have documented disabilities and are registered with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS)．Note taking is approved for students with disabilityrelated functional limitations that make it difficult for them to access academic information presented in class.
There is a wide range of reasons why students may require note taking as an accommodation, including students with:
·hearing loss, who may have difficulty hearing the instructor while writing notes at the same time
·vision loss, who may have difficulty seeing information presented on overhead screens
·mental health conditions or attentionrelated disabilities, who may have difficulty attending to orallypresented information while taking notes
·learning disabilities, who may have difficulty recording notes when information is presented orally
·physical disabilities, who may have painrelated difficulties
Accessibility advisers consider a student’s description of their need for note taking along with information contained in their disability documentation and the type of course in approving note taking as a formal accommodation.
Online Note Taking Portal
QSAS is in charge of the exchange of notes taken by student volunteer note takers and students registered with QSAS via our secure online note taking portal.
The pages in this section provide information for students with disabilities, volunteer note takers and instructors on requesting note taking, signing up to be a volunteer note taker and assisting QSAS in recruiting volunteer note takers.
