Students who are registered with Disability Services and receive accommodations for a note taker will be given access to notes on the web. To access notes you will need to use a computer that has the Kurzweil program on it. All campus computers available for student use have this program on them, allowing you easy access to the program and your notes. If you are not able to access your notes please contact the Center for Advising and Learning at x6178.
