What’s different?

Access U-OLA by Roles rather than a department password. Utilizes CAS authentication.

• Department contact will have access to all job listings in department
• Hiring Committees will have access to jobs they have been assigned to
• Facilitates/emphasis on computer based review of applications rather than printing and copying 

Department Contacts will complete the Job Listing Request form in OLA.

• Job listing will be completed and saved in U-OLA as “Requested”. Submitted Jobs will be reviewed by Campus HR

Service Maintenance application process – only current appointed staff may apply with a paper application; outside applicants (including current hourly) must apply via U-OLA

Hires for promotions/demotions/transfers from department ‘internal only’ postings must complete an Applicant Account in U-OLA. They must store their resume in their Applicant Account. They are not required to ‘apply’ for a job, however they must have created an account, except for Service Maintenance jobs as noted above.

Listing cycle –

• SM, SS, and PA positions posted for one-week only are posted on the current Friday through Thursday cycle
• PA positions (except as above) can be listed at any time
• All policies for listing and filling positions apply
• Posting no longer appear on the web once the department has ‘selected’ an applicant – regardless of the listing cycle dates

Future Phase:

Hourly job listings

Hourly applicants apply via U-OLA

Job listings appear on multiple campuses
