What is a work study scribe?

Work Study Scribes are students employed by colleges or universities to assist individuals with disabilities by taking notes, transcribing spoken words, or recording classroom discussions. Their primary role is to ensure that all students have equal access to learning materials and classroom content. Scribes may work in classrooms, libraries, or during exams, and are typically trained to accurately and confidentially transcribe information. This position is often part of a school's work-study program and helps support accessibility services on campus.
