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.

At the end of term, request your Certificate of Appreciation and/or initiate the process for Co-Curricular Record (CCR) Validation (read instructions below).

How to request your Certificate of Appreciation

Complete the Certificate of Appreciation form (you must be logged into your U of T email to access this link).

If you are having any issues, please email as.notetaking@utoronto.ca

Please note: Requests for certificates are processed at the end of every academic term.

How to request Co-Curricular Record (CCR) validation

You must initiate the CCR validation process through Folio. To find out how to request validation approval, please visit the CCR Frequently Asked Questions page for guidance.

CCR activity cannot be backdated. It is important to know your deadlines. Co-Curricular Records are validated once per year in June.

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

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

Register as a volunteer note-taker on the Note-taking Portal.
