Note taking
Note taking as an accommodation is available only to students who have documented disabilities and are registered with Queen's University Accessibility Service（QSAS）. Note taking is approved for students with disability-related functional limitations that makes it difficult for them to access academic information presented in class.
There is a wide range of reasons why students may require note taking as an accommodation，including students with：
·hearing loss，who may have difficulties hearing the instructor while writing notes at the same time
·vision loss，who may have difficulties seeing information presented on overhead screens
·mental health conditions or attention-related disabilities，who may have difficulties attending to orally-presented information while taking notes
·learning disabilities，who may have difficulties recording notes when information is presented orally
·physical disabilities，who may have motor or pain related difficulties
Accessibility advisers consider a student's description of their need for note taking along with information contained in their disability documentation and the type of course in approving note taking as a formal accommodation.
