Due to recently raised concerns, we are providing some important information about DAS notetaking services.

What students should know:

  • RIT/NTID remains committed to employing students as peer notetakers in classes and currently employs more than 350 student notetakers.
  • NTID continues to value student notetakers and the important role they play in supporting deaf and hard-of-hearing classmates.
  • AI is not being used to replace paid student notetakers.
  • Students with approved notetaking accommodations will continue to have access to appropriate supports based on their needs and preferences.
  • Students with notetaking accommodations continue to have choices about the support that works best for them and are encouraged to reach out to DAS with any concerns about services.
