Frequently
Asked Questions
| Question:
Am I guaranteed reappointment? |
Answer:
No. Your reappointment is contingent on a satisfactory
job performance evaluation. In addition, it is expected
that those selected for re-appointment will attain a
minimum of 3 or higher in each individual section of
the Spring 2008 performance evaluation. Final decisions
for the reappointment process may be based on your performance
evaluation, reappointment application, and your reappointment
interview. |
| Question:
Do I need to turn in an official transcript? |
Answer:
No, however you will need to turn in a transcript verifying
your grades. We accept Bearfacts transcripts, only if
your name is printed on the transcript (not hand-written).
To print out this transcript, go to http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu
and enter your student information. Then print an unofficial
transcript with the box checked for "Show Student
Name." Also note that you must have a 2.3 GPA or
higher to be considered for a position - NO EXCEPTIONS. |
| Question:
I applied last year to be an RA - do I have to submit
a new application and new essays? |
Answer: As
a returner, your application does not require essays.
You will be required to submit a returning hall staff
application, which will include a resume and an application
sheet. Detailed information is available on the application. |
| Question:
I need some help with my resume - who can I talk to? |
Answer: We
recommend talking with the Career Center if you're interested
in information on resumes. You can visit their website
at http://career.berkeley.edu or visit at 2111 Bancroft
Way (past Oxford Way). The Career Center is open from
9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.

| Question:
If I am currently an RA and want to apply for the TPA
position, do I need to fill out a returning TPA application
or a new TPA application? |
Answer: You
only fill out a returning application for a position
you are returning to. To 'return,' you must have received/be
receiving an academic year formal evaluation in that
position. The EXCEPTION to this is that Theme Program
Advisors who apply for a general Resident Assistant
position would fill out a RETURNING application. An
RA applying for a TPA position, or a TPA applying for
a different TPA position, would need to fill out the
NEW TPA application. |
| Question:
If I want to apply to return to my current position and
apply as a new PA, how many applications do I have to
fill out? |
Answer: You
only need to fill out one returning application, but
make sure to indicate on the first page that you are
applying for both positions, and make sure to include
all materials requested. If you wish, you may also submit
multiple resumes, but be clear which resume is for which
position. |
| Question:
Will the room and board compensation affect my financial
aid package? |
Answer: It may affect
your financial aid package. You will have to declare
the compensation on your FAFSA. To find out more information
about this please download the document below. If you
have any questions about this, please contact: Michael
Mathews, mmathews@uclink4.berkeley.edu, or at (510)
642-0617.
