Update from Disability Services
Disability Services has revised the blue colored "Note Take Application" that's used to hire and pay a classmate who will provide copies of lecture notes to a disabled student. At the top of the form there is now a place where you can indicate the date that the disabled student gives you that form. By indicating the date, Disability Services will be able to better ensure it's in compliance with the federal law that requires the classmate to fill out an I-9 Form (for a proper employment status). Contact Mark Johnson at 3531.
