Study Consultants

Study consultants are either graduate students or seniors in good academic standing with effective study skills, organizational skills, and the desire to help other students. Consultants typically are matched with one to three students with whom they meet individually, one hour per week. The consultant and student determine when and where to meet. The consultant's pay is $12.00 per hour for time worked with student(s), training workshop, one small group meeting during the semester, and paperwork. For more information please call 410-516-5506; to submit an application, please go to the Student Employment Services website and apply for job #5680.

Note Takers

Note Takers are hired through the Office of Academic Advising to provide class notes to students with disabilities. In order to receive notes, a student must submit official documentation to Dr. Richard Sanders in Academic Advising, and he will refer you to the Student Academic Assistance Coordinator to receive a note taker.

To qualify to become a note taker, you must attend every class for which you are taking notes, have well-organized notes, neat and legible handwriting, and must copy them in the Office of Academic Advising after every class. Arrangements will be made through our office to give the notes to the student(s) receiving them. Note takers are paid $75.00 per course per semester. To apply for this position, please go to the Student Employment Services website.
