Summer/Fall 2025 ASE/GSR Hiring - Your new Smartsheets are available!

March 6, 2025
Dear Campus Colleagues, 

I am writing to provide information about the upcoming semester’s Summer/Fall 2025 ASE/GSR Hiring processes.  Most importantly, the BRS and HR Central Services Reporting Team has completed creating new Smartsheets for you to use, which are available beginning (today) Thursday, 3/06/25.Here is what’s new

Actions for you:

  1. Use the new AY25-26 ASE/GSR Smartsheets to add your new Summer/Fall ASE/GSRs.

    1. You can contact your regional HR Generalist if you have difficulties accessing your new Smartsheet. The Data Dictionary can help with terms and names on the Smartsheet. 

    2. Note: Continue to use the existing AY24-27 Lecturer Smartsheets.

  2. Refer to the following ASE/GSR Hires web pages. We continue to feature all important ASE/GSR and Lecturer hire details on the BRS website. 

      • *6/13/25: Deadline for departments need to enter/approve all Summer/Fall 2025 ASE/GSR Smartsheet entries for timely 8/30/25 pay and systems access.

      • 8/1/25: Deadline for ASE/GSRs to complete their DocuSign packets to receive timely 8/31/25 pay and systems access before the semester starts.

      • 8/20/24: Departments ensure no employees should begin working (8/21/25: first day of the semester) until they have completed onboarding to avoid damage payments

  1. SAVE THE DATE! Tuesday, April 15th 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM at 370 Dwinelle Hall is the SHARE Hybrid presentation for Fall 2025 Hiring . Add this event to your calendar to save the date!

*GSR hiring: 

  • Due to the GSR Union Contract requirement for appointment notification (when practicable, GSRs should be provided an appointment letter at least 30 days in advance), all GSR requests should be submitted a minimum of six (6) weeks prior to the GSR start dates.                         

Appointment Letter templates: 

ASE/GSR Appointment Letter templates (dated Jan 2025) have been updated. The new Smartsheets will contain the updates and be reflected in Appointment Letters generated by BRS. Departments/units that develop their Letters should download and use the updated versions available on the Forms & Letters page on the People & Culture website going forward
