Using the Accommodate Student Portal for Uploading Notes

Please read the following instructions below to upload notes as a volunteer note-taker.

• If you prefer to take notes on paper, there are a variety of apps that you can use to scan notes directly to your phone. Some of these apps include Microsoft Lens and Apple Notes
