Any full-time SJR student with a GPA of at least 2.5 and who is willing to live in the building can apply to become an RA. ​

Outside of a free room in the building, RAs can anticipate enhancement of leadership skills, community bonding and networking through programming and events, development of problem-solving skills, and experience with marketing and leasing. 

These terms are interchangeable, but they essentially mean that an RA is present in the building to help ensure safety overnight in the building. ​

Since RAs are staples of the community, they are on-campus or in the building each night and most weekends. RAs will also be on-campus and in the building during periods of break (i.e. fall and spring breaks).
