New Officials
Each year, students are employed to officiate contests in a variety of intramural activities. Officials are required to attend training clinics specific to each activity and anyone classifying as a "new" official must attend a New Officials Meeting which will cover the employment process/paperwork and provide an overview of the Intramural Sports program.
Officials are classified as "new" if they have never worked on-campus before or if it has been more than 1 calendar year since their last date of employment with Rec Sports.
In order to work, you must have approved I9 documents submitted to the Office of Human Resources. Please be advised copies are NOT accepted; HR must see your ACTUAL document(s)- bring them to campus with you to expedite the hiring process.
