Notetaking | Accessibility Services | West Virginia University

Students receiving notetaking will discuss with their accessibility specialist how to best meet their academic needs based on class selection and learning style by utilizing the following accommodation options:

Sonocent or recording of lectures
Peer Notetaker

Class instructors will solicit a peer notetaker from your classes anony mously to provide you with the notes they take during your class session. These peer notetakers will then upload the documents to SAMM for you to access within 24 hours of your class session .

Copy of Instructors's visual aids and lecture notes

In some classes instructors will provide the class copies of the visual aides (i.e., power points, prezi) used. In classes where this is not a standard practice students students may be given copies of the visual aids and lecture notes of the instructor within a reasonable time frame, preferably before class or within 48 hours of the conclusion of a class session.

At times a combination of these accommodations may be utilized to best meet the individual needs of a student. This decision is based on the documentation submitted to OAS at the time of the student's application and discussion with their Accessibility Specialist.
