Residence Life Staff Positions - Who Can Apply?
- You can apply if you are a full-time undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Guelph and in good standing (i.e. no significant residence or campus conduct history).
- You need a minimum cumulative and semester average of 65% (or 70% if applying for Cluster Leader or Senior Academic Programmer roles).
- Please read job description for a full outline of responsibilities
For senior-level positions such as Senior RA, Community Assistant, Senior Academic Programmer, and Duty Staff-Lead Hand we also welcome new applicants with (significant) leadership experience to apply.
- *Note on remuneration for returning RLS members in salaried positions: if you are returning to the same position (RA to RA, CL to CL, CA to CA, etc) then you will receive an additional $50/month for every year (two 4 month terms) you’ve been in the role (up to a maximum of 3 years). This equates to an additional $200 (1st year returning) or $400 (2nd year returning) per semester. If you are moving positions (DS to RA, CL to DS, RA to CL, etc) then you receive the base compensation for that position.
