You are responsible for checking your online myAIMS account frequently. We recommend that you log-in at least once per week to check the status of your account. Once there are note takers available, you will see a button prompting you to select a note taker.
Note: If you do not have any note takers available within one week of hearing your Instructor's in-class announcement, or seeing a message on your course page, please notify AccessAbility Services. We will implement additional methods to recruit note takers for this course. Please ensure that you keep us informed in order for us to assist you in the best way that we can.
Sample Notes
As part of the registration process, Volunteer Note Takers are asked to upload sample copies of their notes.
When you click the option “Select a note taker" you will be shown a list of note takers and a button to "Check Sample Notes".
If you click the link to check sample notes and there are NO sample notes to view, please contact AccessAbility Services immediately. We will contact the note takers and request that they upload sample notes as soon as possible. It is your responsibility to inform us and follow-up frequently to ensure your accommodations are provided in a timely manner
Important: If you are taking a course that has two course codes, note takers may be available under one course code and not the other. If you are registered in a course which has two course codes please come in and speak to the front desk. If there are note takers available for the course code which you are not registered for then staff will have to manually assign you to a note taker of your choosing from the other course code.
We recommend that you select a note taker based on the content, clarity, and style of the sample notes.
After viewing the sample notes, select a volunteer note taker by clicking on "Choose This Note Taker". Please be advised that you will still have the option to select a note taker even if there are no sample notes available. We do not recommend this option. It is best to view samples of the notes and ensure that they will meet your note taking needs.
When a note taker has been selected, they will be notified by email and asked to upload all notes for the class to date. After you have selected them, please give the note taker one week to upload course notes. After being notified, note takers are asked to upload a copy of their notes within 24 hours of each lecture.
Please note: You need to select a note taker in order for the note taker to continue uploading notes. If you do not select a note taker, you will only see up to 3 sets of sample notes.
