Application:
The RA Application consists of four (4) parts:

Once completed, the first three (3) parts of the RA application Package are to be submitted to the RA Selection Committee through the RA Application Package Submission Form. This online Microsoft Form will also ask applicants to provide additional personal information prior to uploading the first three (3) parts of the RA Application Package documents. Applicants will need to log into their official SMU student email account to access the submission form.
RA Recommendation Forms are the fourth, and final, part of the RA Application Package. These forms are to be filled out by student peers from the SMU community.
RA Applicants are required to have at least seven (7) current or former SMU students complete an RA Recommendation form on the behalf. The more students who complete this form, the stronger your application will be. The maximum acceptable number is twelve (12) recommendations. Please provide the link below to the students you ask to complete your RA Recommendation Forms (along with your A# and email address, to ensure their recommendation is accurately assigned to you): https://forms.office.com/r/hxW2LjgP2v
Note: Please ensure that you provide the correct spelling of your email address to persons completing an RA Recommendation form on your behalf, to ensure that you receive a confirmation email each time a form is submitted.
RA applicants cannot fill out recommendation forms for themselves.

All the best and good luck!
