Optimize Your Supplemental Lecture Notes

If you have been approved to receive supplemental lecture notes through the Volunteer Notetaking Service, please consider the following recommendations to maximize the benefits of this support.

Notetaker Availability

Our Notetaking team works hard to secure volunteer notetakers for as many of the classes where volunteer notes are requested as possible, however success cannot be guaranteed.

You may wish to contact your professors or classmates for assistance in finding a notetaker if needed.

Regular Attendance

You should attend all of your scheduled classes, except in cases of illness. The volunteer notetaking service is intended to supplement, not replace, your attendance participation in classes.

Download Your Notes

Regularly check Ventus for notes posted by volunteer notetakers and download them promptly. Avoid waiting until the end of the term.

Get in Touch with Feedback or Issues

Notify the Notetaking Team promptly if notes are missing or if you encounter any issues with the notes provided. Please provide specific details to facilitate assistance.

Confidentiality and Usage

The notes are for your personal use only. Volunteer notes cannot be shared, sold, or distributed online. Doing so may result in a review of your eligibility for the Volunteer Notetaking Service.
