There are opportunities to work for SDRC in several capacities. For example, interpreting for the D/deaf, Federal work study programs, transcribers, etc. For individuals interesed in work study, you must apply with the Financial Aid office by filling out the FASFA form. You need to apply in January for the following academic year. Awards are need-based; first come, first served.

For individuals interested in being placed on the list for providing free-lance interpreting for the deaf, please fill out the Interpreting Information Policy form and send to plester@fsu.edu.
SDRC sets a standard for the interpreters they employ. Please refer to the following policy for this information.

If interested as a volunteer:

The SDRC is always looking for reliable volunteers to help with a variety of tasks. We hope that you can get the experience that you want from volunteering here, so if there is something that you are particularly interested in doing, please let us know. Just as you may have expectations about your volunteer experience, we also have expectations for volunteers.

The ServScript Program is now online. Students will be able to submit their service hours directly into the Service Tracking System, online through Blackboard. Visit http://serve2learn.fsu.edu/students/servscript.htm for step-by-step instructions and to download the new ServScript form. Fall 2007 hours are due online by December 7. Contact the Center for Civic Service and Education at 644-3342 for more information.
Most of the activities that you will be involved in require direct contact with students who are registered with SDRC or information about these students. Any information about, or work that you do with, a student is confidential information. Please respect the rights of students by not discussing information with anyone who is not an employee here.
We will typically be asking you to perform one or more of the following tasks: take notes in the classroom, read tests for students, read textbooks on tape, pick up and return tests, proof-read papers, tutor students, assist students in the computer lab, assist students with research, and light office work. If you have conflicts with any of these responsibilities or cannot perform any of these duties for any reason, please let us know. If you agree to a certain responsibility, it is very important that you complete it because many students depend on these services.
If you are volunteering for a class requirement, do not expect to complete a large number of hours in a short period of time.
Although dress is casual in our office, please dress appropriately for a work environment.
If you are scheduled to come in at a certain times, please be on time. There will be times when we have something planned for you to do but are unable to discuss it with you ahead of time. If you cannot make a scheduled time, please call us at 644-9566 as soon as possible so we may make alternate arrangements.

A Guide to Notetaking
Confidentiality
All information regarding students registered with the SDRC must remain confidential.

Exchanging Information
Most likely you were introduced to the student you are taking notes for by the instructor. Once you have been introduced to the student and agreed to be a notetaker, please make arrangements to provide the notes to the student via email or before/after class time.

Absentee Policy
Having a notetaker is not an excuse for a student to not attend class. The SDRC expects registered students to attend class and use the notetaker's notes as a supplement to their own notes. If you are taking notes for a student who is abusing the service please let a SDRC staff member know. The student is encouraged to let a SDRC staff member know if a notetaker is missing class often or providing insufficient notes.

Notetaking Services
We encourage students to volunteer as an opportunity to earn Serv Script points or community service hours for scholarship and for any other purpose.

For further information, please contact us either through e-mail at SDRC@admin.fsu.edu or at 644-9566.
