1) Become a peer notetaker
Peer notetaking is where students contract with Hangarau Āheinga|Assistive Technology (HA|AT) for the purchase of copies of their notes in selected courses. These notes are used by other students at the سԹ if they cannot take notes for themselves because of accessibility-related reasons. First to final year UC undergraduate students are eligible to become peer note takers and share their lecture notes as independent contractors. International students are not eligible as they cannot be independent contractors because of their student visa conditions.
Notes are purchased at a rate of $10.00 per one hour lecture, $20.00 per 2-3 hour lecture.
