New for Summer 2025
Due to new California laws, specifically AB 810 and SB791, (which require the inclusion of language in all job postings/hiring processes about misconduct disclosure and the requirement that all new hires receive an offer letter with this language) the University of California is no longer able to offer monetary stipends to student volunteer notetakers..
However, volunteer notetakers are still eligible to receive a recognition award gift card via Tango Rewards. The stipend rate will change to $50 per unit, so a 4 unit class will receive a Tango Reward card of $200. There are hundreds of retailers available (including international options). If you would like the equivalent of the notetaking stipend, prepaid Visa Gift Cards, Paypal and Venmo are available. Tango Cards will be distributed at the end of the semester.
Please note that note takers will be capped at a maximum of $600 per calendar year.
For example, you would be able to take notes for one Spring semester class, then 2 fall classes or take notes for 3 Spring semester classes.
