Dear Professor Borodin, Allan: There is a student in CSC 373H1 S LEC 5101 who is approved to receive volunteer notetaking as an academic accommodation. In order to facilitate this accommodation, we are kindly asking you to make an in-class announcement and post the below message onto Quercus: The volunteer notetaking program is one of the most commonly required accommodations provided to students registered with Accessibility Services. Here at the University of Toronto, the accessibility office is seeking dependable volunteer note-takers to assist students living with a disability to achieve academic success.

Volunteers can receive co-curricular credit(s) and/or a certificate of appreciation.
