Scribe
For students whose disabilities prevent them from writing in-class notes or assignments, or performing in-class hands-on activities, DSPS can provide an in-class scribe.
Scribes are to write (by hand or computer) verbatim what the student with the disability dictates. Scribes should be familiar with the necessary formats, but they are not responsible for proofreading papers. The student with the disability is expected to direct the scribe on what to write and where to place the information, for example in a formula or works cited list. Scribes are not allowed to tutor, prompt, or correct a student with a disability.
New and Returning Students
To request a scribe, you will need to complete the DSPS Scribe Request Form. This form should include all enrolled and waitlisted courses for which you will need a scribe. On this form, be sure to select the counselor you saw who approved your accommodations. The counselor will then get an email to approve or deny your request. Denials can happen for many reasons. If you get denied you will be contacted to follow up.
If after submitting your DSPS Scribe Request Form there are any changes to your schedule please contact the DSPS office, via email, phone, or DSPS virtual lobby.
