Notetaking Accommodations

If note taking assistance is an accommodation you are eligible to receive, your letter of eligibility will indicate it. If you think you are eligible for this accommodation but do not know, please contact 513-745-3280 or adr@xavier.edu to schedule an appointment.

Note taking assistance may be provided through shared peer notes or through technology and training to take notes independently. This will be determined during your Accommodation Planning Meeting with the understanding that your needs may change as you matriculate.

For students with note taking accommodations, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to evaluate options, train on technology, or review note taking skills. You can schedule an appointment at alttext@xavier.edu or 513-745-3007.

Interpreting / captioning or assistive listening devices are also available as a separate accommodation for students who are deaf or hard of hearing to provide access to lectures.
