Tape Recording Policy
All students requesting assistance should contact:
Tape Recording Lectures In subpart E of Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act Rehabilitation Act, as amended, states... “A recipient may not impose upon students with disabilities other rules, such as the prohibition of tape recorders in classrooms or of dog guides in campus buildings, that have the effect of limiting the participation of students with disabilities in the recipient's education program or activity. Therefore, to comply with Section 504, institutions of higher education must provide reasonable accommodations to a student’s known disability and may not deny equal access to the institution’s programs, courses, and activities. Recording lectures is a reasonable accommodation for students whose documentation calls for this accommodation. Instructors have the right to require a student who uses a tape recorder to sign an agreement for tape recording and present the form to the instructor. In accordance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA, as amended), tape recorders are permitted in the college’s classrooms and in its facilities.

In accordance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA, as amended 2008), note takers are permitted in the college’s classrooms and in its facilities. The ADA Coordinator determines if the accommodation of note taking is appropriate. Generally, the determination is based on the student’s documentation. Disability Services will provide ADA students with note takers and necessary note taking supplies. The student will provide the instructor with a letter of accommodation. After receipt of the letter, the ADA student or instructor may recommend candidates for note taking. However, the final decision regarding selection of a note taker will be decided by the ADA Coordinator. The note taker provides the ADA student with the notes at the end of each class. If copies need to be made (note taker is in the same class as ADA student) the ADA Coordinator will make copies. (Unless other arrangements have been made to provide the notes in a different format). If a note taker is not identified the instructor and the student must notify ADA SERVICES as soon as possible so that other arrangements can be made.
