Candidates will be asked to complete the application through Interview Exchange (You will be asked to create a log-in and password).

If you are applying for the position, and have never served as a Resident Assistant, you will be asked to provide two references. One reference needs to be a current Resident Assistant. The other should be someone who can speak to your leadership skills and/or work skills.

You will also be asked to submit a current cover letter and resume for the position. Please make sure that you save them in PDF format when you upload them. You can upload them as one document or two separate documents.

For the cover letter please make sure that you address the following:

  • Why you are interested in being a Resident Assistant?
  • How your past experiences prepared you for the role?
  • What community do you think you would be the most successful (i.e. first-year students, upper-class students, house residents, etc) with? Please note, interest does not mean you will be guaranteed placement in that location.

Please note that Steps 4 and 5 of the application are optional and not available to those reviewing your application.

For helpful references review the resources available through Career Planning on how to write a cover letter and resume.
