Software engineering first year Jessabelle Delen Ramos said this is her first semester volunteering as a note taker. Notetakers who volunteer are required to attend every class and upload a legible, concise summary of the class lecture within 48 hours of each class meeting. Students who require special accommodations can request note takers through SJSU Accessible Education Center. If a student cannot make sense of their notes, critical lecture content is missed and can prevent one from completing an assignment or studying for a test. Taking good notes in class requires the ability to listen and critically process information being delivered by the professor in order to distinguish essential from non essential information and organize this information clearly on a page. To meet the needs of students with disabilities, colleges across the country, must provide access to resources aimed to help special needs students succeed and since note taking is an essential component to success in college, providing students with a note taker accommodation is common.

In Fall 2018, over 800 or 3.1% of the total number of students enrolled at San Jose State identified as having a disability qualifying them for special needs accommodations, according to the California State University Fall 2018 campus and services to students with disabilities enrollment data.
