Volunteer Note-taking

All undergraduate and graduate students can register to become volunteer note-takers.

Become a volunteer note-taker in three steps

1. Register as a volunteer note-taker on the Note-taking Portal.
2. Attend your class regularly and take effective notes. If you drop the class, please inform us immediately by contacting as.notetaking@utoronto.ca.
3. After each class, please upload your notes to the Note-taking Portal within 24-48 hours.

Manage your CCR

The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is validated once a year on June 15.

It is the volunteer note-taker’s responsibility to initiate this process. Login to the CCR, go to the “Opportunity Directory” or “Manage Co-Curricular Record” tab and select “Add Position to My Record.”

CCR activity cannot be backdated, so it is important to know your deadlines.

The accommodations administrator has the right to revoke CCR activity for the following reasons:

• The notes uploaded were poor quality.
• The notes were not consistently uploaded.
• The administrator suspects the notes were plagiarized.
• The notes have not been uploaded within the 24-48 hour time period.
• The note-taker does not meet the 80% uploading criteria of least 2 H credit/1 Y credit courses during an academic year.

Request your Certificate of Recognition

To request your Certificate of Recognition, please email as.notetaking@utoronto.ca with the following details:

• Full name

• The course(s) that you volunteered for
• The academic year of the course(s) (e.g., Fall 2018, 2018-2019 academic term, etc.)

Note: Depending on when you submit the request, it could take up to one to two weeks to create the certificate.
