Part-Time Application Evaluator

About the role

The Office of Admissions is hiring remote, part-time Application Evaluators who will support the work of two different teams throughout the year. Application Evaluators will be trained to review applications to the Graduate School in the fall and winter and applications to gain residency (which enables students to pay the in-state tuition rate) in the spring and summer. Employees will be trained to evaluate academic transcripts, test scores, and other academic credentials as well as documentation of Utah domiciliary ties and other residency requirements. They will prepare, verify, and enter data into computerized student information systems. While the main tasks of this position are clerical and detail‑oriented, Application Evaluators may also correspond with students and campus partners over email to provide customer service. This is a fully remote position; employees must maintain their own reliable internet connection and will be provided a laptop for all work. On‑boarding and new employee training will be conducted virtually via Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Physical requirements: nearly continuously sitting, hearing, listening, talking; often repetitive hand motion (such as typing).
