How to Request Notetakers Online
NEW PILOT PROJECT: McBurney will accept notetaking requests from current users through the end of the second week of
classes. We hope to accommodate students who are unsure about whether they need notetakers until they've attend a few
classes. Current users may request notetakers after the end of the second week but they will not be provided with back
notes for the time before the request was made.
- Login using your NetID and password (same as My UW or WiscMail)
- Scroll down the page and choose the correct semester from the drop down box.
- View the listing of your classes for that semester to be sure it is accurate. If you've recently added a class, it may not appear untl the next day.
- Below each class component (i.e., lecture, discussion, lab), you will see a checkbox for notetaking (and interpreting and
captioning, if approved on your VISA).
- If you think you may need a notetaker for a particular class component, click the notetaking checkbox. Your notetaker will only
provide notes for the components you've checked. Some students may decide that they only want notes for lectures but not discussions or labs.
- A pop-up box will appear each time to click the checkbox. It tells you how many "service events" were created. The number
of service events matches the number of times that class component meets. Just close this pop-up box and then make your next request.
- Review all your class components to make sure you've checked notetaking for the class components you need. You can print out a copy
of the page if you'd like a written record.
- When finished, just click the Log Out button at the bottom of the page.
- Please email the Notetaker Coordinator if you make any changes to your
requests!
- Provide any feedback on the process by emailing the Notetaker Coordinator.
