How do I apply as an Assistant?

Students apply for URCA Assistant positions through this website.  Click here for a complete listing of all Assistant positions that are available for the Spring 2010 semester.  Students can apply to any position by clicking the “Apply Now!” button to the right of each position.  This will pop up the student application form.

Students may apply for multiple positions, but a new application must be completed for each position.  Also, students are only allowed to accept one Assistant position per semester!  Once you’ve committed to one professor’s position, you are not allowed to accept another professor’s offer. 

Any student who has a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or above and who will be enrolled as a full-time student (minimum of 12 credit hours) at SIUE for the entire Spring 2010 semester may apply.  Students are not allowed to hold both an URCA Assistant and an URCA Associate position at the same time. 

The deadline for student applications is December 9, 2009!  Faculty must fill their positions by January 11, 2010.  However, faculty may choose to fill their positions earlier, so students are encourage to apply as soon as possible!  Positions that have been filled will be noted on the website.
