STW: Graduate Assistant: OAA Test Center Scribe
UNC Charlotte Office of Disability Services
Campus Job
Closes on Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Job Description
The Office of Accessibility and Accommodation (OAA) (formally Disability Services) seeks a student to join our team as a scribe with the OAA Test Center. OAA works to ensure that students with disabilities have access to education and campus life at UNC Charlotte. The OAA Test Center is designed to support students with disabilities and their faculty by providing testing accommodations in an inclusive, welcoming environment. This position is for Fall 2026.
Position Summary and OAA Scribe Code of Conduct:
The role of a testing scribe is only to transcribe a student's answers verbatim. Scribes do not read test instructions or questions aloud. The scribe will write down or type exactly what the student dictates. The scribe's duties are strictly limited to transcription.
The scribe is not permitted to provide any assistance with the content of the test, offer hints or suggestions, correct spelling or grammar, or answer questions about the test material. During transcription, the scribe should speak only when asking the student to repeat what was said.
Scheduling:
Testing scribes will only be scheduled to work when a student with that specific accommodation needs to take a test, meaning some weeks they will not work any hours with OAA. Hired scribes will not have set weekly hours. Instead, scheduling for the scribe will occur in advance, typically a week to a month before the scribing session, and will be confirmed by the Academic Testing Coordinator for OAA via a Google Calendar invite.
To be considered for the position, applicants must:
- Have course-specific content knowledge
- Be flexible with scheduling
