Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm currently a first-year student. Can I apply?
A: Yes! As long as you are a sophomore (24 credit hours) or second-year status by the start of employment, then you can apply.
Q: If hired, which building will I be placed in? Do I get to pick where I live?
A: Placement is based upon several factors including what student population you prefer to work with (first-years, upper class, Honors, etc.), do not prefer to work with, in addition to ensuring RAs are placed in the location we feel is most effective in order to build a strong team for that hall and community. We will do our best to accommodate your housing preferences, but this cannot always be guaranteed. Initial placement is also subject to change.
