Volunteer Notetaking Program [VNP]
Taking notes in the classroom can be a challenge for those who rely primarily on sight for communication. National Center on Deafness provides an opportunity for students in the classroom to be volunteer notetakers for their deaf and hard of hearing classmates.

The benefit of being a volunteer is receiving Priority Registration clearance for the following semester (during fall/spring semesters) or receiving a $50 gift card (during summer/winter sessions)..

Volunteers are required to take a one-time, online training provided at the VNP webpage.

Tutoring
NCOD's well-educated tutors can help enhance your success in the classroom. From English to Biology, many of our tutors teach in the subject they are majoring in. Most of them are deaf or hard of hearing, and they all know sign language. This can be of enormous benefit in sharpening study skills, identifying problem areas, gaining greater mastery of subject materials, and developing greater confidence in your ability to excel in class. For more information, please contact Aileen Rolon at aileen.rolon@csun.edu.
