Application Processing Assistant- Undergraduate Admission

Application Processing Assistant, Undergraduate Admission

Carnegie Mellon University has steadily built upon its foundations of excellence and innovation to become one of America’s leading universities. The university’s unique approach to education builds leaders and problem solvers for the changing marketplace of today and tomorrow. Carnegie Mellon University's holistic admission process is about more than just admitting a group of students who have the potential to succeed academically; it is about selecting students who will add to the university’s diverse community.

In the Office of Undergraduate Admission, we continue to work to recruit and retain such students from diverse backgrounds. We also focus on versatile policies and practices that build a sense of community among people with many backgrounds, skills, and strengths.

Our Office of Undergraduate Admission is hiring several Application Processing Assistants, for a fixed-term and remote, application processing and data entry assignment. The position will take place between the fall/winter of 2023-24 (early November-late February). Application Processing Assistants will thoroughly review and process applications and/or financial aid materials in a timely and accurate manner. Examples of work will include following up for missing application materials, recalculating GPA, and other application or financial aid-related data entry.

This is a full-time position, Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM -5:00 PM EST. This position follows university holiday closures but is not eligible for paid holidays. Remote work assignments are limited to Pennsylvania. Selected candidates may be asked to extend their appointment through March or April 2023, as needed. All team members are required to attend onboarding sessions, training and weekly meetings via Zoom.

Candidates must be able to provide their own computer and reliable internet access, with the ability to access the Google Chrome browser and download university required malware.

Flexibility, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Inclusion, collaboration and cultural sensitivity are valued competencies at CMU. We are looking for team members who share our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work. We value diverse candidates.

Conflicts of Interest:

Given the sensitive nature of the admission selection process, Application Processing Assistants cannot be employed by another university, high school, or organization that provides college counseling support, nor can they be employed independently in work that provides college counseling support. In addition, due to the time commitments of the role, we are unable to hire candidates who are currently enrolled in a full-time degree seeking program.
