Application

Learning Community Assistant

Apply to be a Learning Community Assistant (LCA) at the University of North Florida! In this part-time role, you will work in a Living-Learning Community (LLC), focusing on enhancing academic success and creating engaging initiatives.

Resident Assistant

Elevate your college experience as a Resident Assistant (RA) at the University of North Florida! This part-time role offers flexibility around your class schedule. You'll impact a diverse group of residents, promote student success and build supportive communities. As an RA, you'll play a key role in the enforcement of housing policies and assisting with crisis management, ensuring a safe and secure living environment for all.

Priority Alternate

Being a Priority Alternate (PA) signifies your potential as a student staff member! If RA/LCA vacancies arise, we'll hire directly from this pool. As a PA you will complete online training modules and attend in-person fall student staff training. PAs will receive compensation for successfully completing trainings and will remain in PA status through January 2025.

While PA status improves your chances, it does not guarantee a Student Staff position. Hiring depends on vacancies and community needs. If offered and accepted, you will be required to live on campus. Enroll in the Canvas course for further details!

This part-time position combines marketing, event planning, resource management and student engagement. You’ll work closely with a dedicated team to contribute to the vibrant community and educational experience in the residence halls. Enroll in the Canvas course for further details!

In order to apply for a student staff position with Housing & Residence Life, applicants must have both a semester and cumulative GPA of a 2.5 or higher. Our student staff members are expected to put their academics first and to be academic role models for their residents.

  • Disciplinary Standing

    Applicants are required to be in good disciplinary standing with Housing and Residence Life and the University. Having a disciplinary history with the University or with the department does not eliminate a candidate from consideration, but the nature of the incident(s) may have bearing. All candidates' disciplinary history will be checked with the Office of Student Accountability and Resolution (OSAR) and the Housing and Residence Life office.

  • Residency Standing

    Resident Assistant and Learning Community Assistant applicants are required to have completed a minimum of two (2) semesters living on campus prior to beginning the position and/or must have completed 2 semesters as a student at UNF. Engagement Assistant applicants are required to have completed a minimum of one (1) semester living on campus prior to beginning the position.

Time Commitment

Time management is essential to our staff members' success. The Learning Community Assistant (LCA) role is a 15 hours/week position. The Resident Assistant (RA) role is a 20 hours/week position. Housing and Residence Life student staff employment contracts are mandatory and vary depending on the area you've been selected for, typically running from August to May for most locations, and from May to May for The Flats at UNF.
