Academic accommodations and services are provided to students with disabilities to bridge the gap of accessibility to education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a student with limited arm mobility will be allowed volunteer notetaking as an academic service to supplement notes they are not able to take for their disability related reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all disabilities that require notetaking as an academic service are visible. Some students with Learning Disabilities experience delays in information processing that hinder their ability to take effective notes over the length of an entire lecture. Even though these students may be capable of taking their own notes, they may miss large chunks of material due to processing times. The volunteer\u2019s notes are used to supplement those that PMC registered students take in class.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-what-is-required-of-volunteers\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    What is required of volunteers?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-what-is-required-of-volunteers\">\n            \n\n<p>Volunteer notetakers are expected to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Attend all scheduled lectures, or find replacement notes from a peer in the course for any missed lectures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take complete, detailed, (and legible, if handwritten) notes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload each week\u2019s notes to Ventus within 72 hours of the scheduled lecture date, and indicate important notes in the Comments section (for example, if a lecture has been cancelled or if a midterm is taking place the following week)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact the PMC Notetaking team as soon as possible, when facing difficulties in any stage of the notetaking process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-why-should-i-volunteer\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Why should I volunteer?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-why-should-i-volunteer\">\n            \n\n<p>Being a volunteer notetaker can have many benefits, both academic and personal.
