Welcome to the UMass Amherst University Disability Services Note Taker Program

We're thrilled to have you as a participating note taker for Disability Services. This semester, we have begun partnering with Luvo to enhance our note taker program.

How You Benefit from Being a Note Taker

• When you upload your notes to Luvo, they are instantly shared with Note Taking Coordinator at Disability Services so they can be accessed by students with a documented disability and an accomodation need for notes.
• Simultaneously your notes will be posted for sale on Luvo for other UMass Amherst students. You set your own selling price and earn 70% of each sale. Luvo will send your payment for all sales every Friday by 5:00 PM EST.
• Luvo provides you with an additional opportunity to provide assistance to other students who need accomodations while also earning money to fund your education.

How to Get Started

• Go to luvolearn.com
• Click on "Sell"
• Click on "Upload a Note"
• Label your note with the Title and date of the lecture (i.e. HIST 100A September 8).
• Set your price. Daily notes typically sell for $2.99, study guides for $10, but you are free to charge whatever price you think is appropriate
• Click "Finish and Post for Sale"
• That's it! Your notes have been posted to our department, for the student with the accomodation and for sale to your classmates.
