Types of Applications

There are two types of applications: “general pool” and “matched with verbal agreement from instructor.”

• General Pool: Student  submits application without being matched; College places qualified student where needed
• Matched: Faculty member and student establish mutual verbal agreement that they would like to work together; student submits “matched” application

With either type of application, no jobs are guaranteed until Notification of Offer email messages are made to the student (typically two weeks prior to the start of the semester). In general, matched applications are more likely to yield an offer.
