Application Pointers

We are looking for strong student leaders on campus. Part of being a strong leader is being able to present yourself in the best possible light. We have assembled some "pointers" to help you in completing your application packet. Please take some time to review these "pointers" before submitting your application.

• Please type your responses on the application. Because typed responses are easier to read, handwritten applications will not be accepted.
• Before submitting your application, check for spelling and grammar mistakes. Spell checking programs do not catch every mistake. Read your essays aloud to see if it sounds right.
• Complete every item in the application. If the question does not apply to you write "NA" or "Does not apply."
• Do not use acronyms. For example, "LASO" should be "Latin American Student Organization."
• When determining who to ask to complete a reference form for you, you should consider how reliable and motivated that person is in being your reference. Find people whom you know will submit the reference of you on time.
• Inform your references when they are due. A completed application includes your reference forms and should be submitted by the deadline.
• Give a copy of the RA job description to your references so they know how to evaluate you based on the requirements of the RA position.
