This is a student leadership position and demonstrating academic progress is expected. The RA must remain in good academic standing with the university during employment. Grade checks will be conducted by the Coordinator of Selection in Summer, Fall, and Spring semesters. Please note, taking courses during the summer is not required to remain eligible for this position; however, grades earned during the summer are calculated into employment eligibility.
All RAs must hold and maintain a minimum 2.50 overall cumulative GPA at the time of job offer and throughout employment. If the RA’s semester GPA drops below 2.50, the RA will be placed on Academic Warning for the following semester of employment. If the RA’s overall cumulative GPA drops below 2.50, the RA will be placed on Academic Probation for the next semester of the RA’s employment. Any repeat of dropping below a cumulative 2.50 GPA will result in immediate termination of the RA’s contract. RAs will be given two weeks to complete grade changes. RAs placed on Academic Warning or Academic Probation must complete an Academic Improvement Plan with their supervisor.
