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.
Scorekeeping
Intramural Sports employs contest scorekeepers for specific activities. Scorekeepers are primarily hired via an appointment through the Federal Work Study program and UWL Financial Aid Office. We do not currently have open positions for scorekeepers.

If you are an employee assigned to Rec Sports through Work Study, please look for an email from Jeff Keenan, Director, for details regarding an introductory meeting.
