Peer Notetaking Program

Notetakers share their personal lecture notes with an eligible DRC student. Notes are shared anonymously using the DRC online database, myDRC within 24 hours of the class meeting.

• Must be enrolled in the class
• Must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher
• When assigned, must upload all previous notes from the start of the course
• Regular attendance and punctuality are required.  If unable to attend class, you must notify the DRC 24 hours in advance via email at drcnotetaking@cpp.edu
• Notes must be uploaded to myDRC within 24 hours of the class meeting
• Notes must be typed in Microsoft Word unless explict permission is given for another format. If no notes were taken during a class meeting, you must upload a document stating the reason (e.g. midterm for entire class or class cancelled).
• If known, you are expected to keep all information regarding student(s) with disabilities confidential. This includes student names and contact information. Any information regarding DRC students cannot be shared with (including professors and other DRC students) unless they are employed by the DRC.

Notetakers are responsible for uploading notes to myDRC within 24 hours of the class meeting. Uploaded files must be typed in Microsoft Word. The file size maximum is 3MB. If your file is too big it will not upload and you will need to split the file into smaller files.

Do not upload a picture of your class notes. A picture is not accessible!

Please contact the DRC (drcnotetaking@cpp.edu) if another method of exchanging notes is needed.
