I, _____________________________, as a note taker working for Disability Support Services (DSS), in the Center for Student
Success, will adhere to the following criteria:
1. I will convey all classroom material, presented orally or printed, in legible written or typed format as objectively and
organized as possible. This means that I will take detailed notes over what the professor says during lecture, what
classmates or guest lecturers present, class discussions, in-class films, power points, and what the professor writes on
the board. This may also include writing down notes about course assignments when the professor gives oral updates or
instructions.
2. My class usually meets on ______________ (day(s) of the week); therefore, I will do my best to submit my notes to DSS
within 24 hours from when class ends and/or before 5:00pm on Fridays. I understand that I must submit notes at least
once a week, and will try to submit notes after each class meeting.
3. I will indicate later on this form the format in which I will provide my notes. I understand that I need to provide my
notes in this same format for the entire semester to ensure there is no confusion. If this format needs to change, I will
discuss it with the DSS coordinator beforehand.
a) When hand-writing my notes, I will copy/digitize the notes in the Center for Student Success at least once a
week and more often when possible.
b) When typing my notes, I will e-mail the notes to dssnotes@callutheran.edu at least once a week and try to
submit them after each class meeting.
4. If there are no notes for that week, I will e-mail DSS at dssnotes@callutheran.edu , or call the DSS staff at 805-493-3464
to discuss this with them as I understand they keep track of my weekly submissions.
5. It is my responsibility to obtain the notes from another class member in my absence from a class meeting. I will either
email the other class member’s notes to dssnotes@callutheran.edu or make a copy of the notes to leave in the
designated place in the Center for Student Success.
6. I will notify the DSS Coordinator if there is a change in my service for the semester within 3 days of the change (i.e., no
longer enrolled in the class, extended illness).
7. I will uphold strict confidentiality of any information obtained regarding student names, disabilities, or the services they
receive from DSS. Any issues or concerns that arise, I will address with either the DSS Coordinator or the Director of the
Center for Student Success.
8. I may need to clarify my notes, however; it is not my responsibility to tutor, transport or provide additional services to
the student for whom I am taking notes. In the event that the student requests such services, I will decline and inform
the DSS Coordinator of the request.
