  • Summer and Fall Hiring Deadlines for Lecturer and ASE/GSR Hiring.

Dear Campus Colleagues, 

We are writing today to provide some initial details about the support for your 2025 Summer/Fall Hiring activities our region offers for new ASE/GSRs and Lecturer hires. We will follow up with confirmed dates and details soon, but we wanted to share information to help you prepare for your planning. 

  • SAVE THE DATE! Tuesday, April 15th 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM is the SHARE Hybrid presentation for Fall 2025 Hiring. Add this event to your calendar to save the date!

  • Summer Sessions/Short Work Breaks - Summer Session Hiring activities continue to begin earlier year-over-year. To reduce unnecessary onboarding, we will be placing ASE/GSRs on Short Work Breaks (SWBs) over the summer, as we have done in previous years.

  • Summer Session appointments - Have a 31-day bridging period to bridge appointments ending in May to the first day of their summer session appointment. This typically allows employees in summer session A, B, C and 12W to bypass onboarding. Please note:

    • Summer Sessions appointment letters for sessions D, E and F (who exceed the 31-day bridging period) need to be sent out to employees in order for them to complete their onboarding/hiring process. 

    • We encourage you to ask Summer Session hires to complete their (DocuSign) Summer Session letters as soon as possible. 

      • We do not anticipate this will change anything concerning still requesting information from you in May about ASE/GSR appointment end dates. Our region can still terminate employees while they are on a SWB.

  • 2025 Summer/Fall ASE/GSR Smartsheets - We are working on creating new sheets and looking to launch the latest sheets on Thursday, March 6, 2025.

    • Access to the (old) AY24-25 Smartsheets will be closed on Tuesday, 3/04/2025to prepare for the cutover. 

    • Any entries added with a 4/1/25 (and beyond) hire date will be moved to the new Smartsheets. For now, pleasedo not addany new appointmentsto yourSmartsheet

    • In the interim, we urge you to begin compiling your ASE/GSR Hire information so that it can be entered.

  • 2025 Lecturer Smartsheets - Good news!  You will continue using the existing FY24-27 Lecturer Smartsheets for 2025 hires.
