Remuneration for these positions is in the form of a $800 semester stipend (distributed in bi-weekly checks) and through a full, single room waiver ($4,200 value per semester). Peer Navigators/RAs also receive valuable training and leadership experience to carry without through professional career.

12-Month RAs: Resident Assistants in 12-Month housing receive a larger room waiver as part of living in our 12-Month Housing building. Because of this, 12-Month RAs may be asked to be present for additional duty shifts and assignments during break periods until the end of the 12-Month license period. The 12-Month RA position is great for students already in 12-Month Housing, or are looking to join 12-Month Housing for the 25-26 academic year.

Non-Housing Peer Navigator Stipend: Peer Navigators who do not reside in the Residence Halls will receive a larger semi-monthly cash stipend as compensation.
