The RA selection process has been designed to allow each candidate the opportunity to be evaluated on both an individual and a group basis; the candidate will be involved in two interviews plus a group process night. After each, an evaluation will be completed and added to your application file. At the end of the process, all files will be reviewed before final decisions are made.
Qualifications
All candidates must be full-time undergraduate students at Saint Michael’s College with an overall grade point average of 2.2. Grade point averages are verified as part of the selection process.
Period of Employment
Staff members are employed for a nine-month period beginning with a workshop prior to fall opening and ending with the closing of the halls in the spring. Some summer employment will be available. New staff members may be asked to attend some staff meetings and in-services prior to the end of the spring semester.
Remuneration
In exchange for their services, Resident Assistants and Apartment Community Advisors receive a single room and a stipend paid which is installments throughout the year. Returning Resident Assistants will receive an additional amount for increased responsibilities.
It is important to note that if you receive Work-Study as part of your financial aid, the RA/ACA position will replace your Work-Study position.
