How do I apply as an Assistant?

The deadline to apply for spring 2012 positions has passed.

Students apply for URCA Assistant positions through this website. Please check back with us in the middle of the spring semester for information about fall 2012 positions.

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 2012 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 was Friday, December 2, 2011!  Faculty must select students to fill their positions by Monday, January 9, 2012.  However, faculty may choose to fill their positions earlier, so students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible!  Positions that have been filled will be noted on the website.
