Students qualifying for a note taker as an accommodation have two options:

Option 1- Students may give a Note Taker Form to the student of their choice or

Option 2- Students may give a Note Taker Form to their professor/instructor to have an announcement read to the class.

All students requesting a note taker must follow the procedures listed below.

Step 1.If the student chooses to have the professor/instructor read an announcement, please make sure to give them the Note Taker Form.

Step 2. Note takers must sign up at www.lsu.edu/disability --> Forms --> Note Taker Information Form.  Note Taker’s will need the Note Taker form from the student that contains a student code. A STUDENT CODE MUST BE ENTERED IN BEFORE SIGNING UP. Note Takers must enter in all needed information. Once the Note Taker Information is submitted, an email will be sent to the note taker and student with disabilities informing them of each other’s email addresses. Note takers must also indicate on this form which type of compensation they are requesting.

Step 3. A Student Verification Form will be on the DS website for you to sign in and submit. This form must be submitted by the indicated date or the note taker will not receive the type of compensation that was indicated on the Note Taker Information Form.

Note: If you are not receiving notes in a timely manner or the notes that you are receiving are inadequate, please contact the DS Programs Office at 225/578-2613 or odstests@lsu.edu.
