The Student Technology Assistants Program (STAP) is a work-based learning program that provides a resource to students who are interested in campus jobs in information technology. STAP also provides a source of qualified personnel to meet campus demands for part-time technology support staff.
The STAP office is not the employer of the student. STAP serves as an agency to pre-screen, train, and assist with placement of students in campus units. Working directly with the various departments on campus, students will gain invaluable technological and professional development. Exposure to diverse working environments and situations assist in the development of team building, problem solving, customer service and time management skills.
The hiring of STAP students occurs during
the academic year. Related experience, ability to perform
the tasks contained within the job description and availability
are
taken into consideration. As a condition of placement
and employment, the STAP student must be enrolled at
least part-time as a University
of Montana student, and maintain at least a semester
and cumulative grade point average of 2.25. The STAP
student must complete at
least 7 semester undergraduate or 6 graduate credits
each semester.
- Fill out STAP application form (as a Word
document or a PDF file).

- STAP Personnel will review materials and schedule a screening
interview. Successful candidates will be placed into
the STAP student pool.
- Campus units will select candidates from the STAP student pool
and may schedule a second interview before hiring a Student
Technology Assistant as an employee. Once hired, students
work as a campus
unit employee and the unit is responsible for paying
the student.
- Student and campus unit determine student weekly work hours and schedule.
- Students participate in an online STAP-sponsored training program during the semester. Participation in this program is required and vital to your success and integration into STAP.
UM campus units who are interested in hiring a STAP student should complete the following steps:
- Contact the STAP coordinator and request Campus unit application materials: Campus Unit Interest Form; STAP Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
- Complete and return the Campus Unit Interest Form to the STAP Coordinator; begin reviewing the STAP MOU .
- Once the Campus Unit Interest Form has been reviewed,
the STAP Coordinator will meet with you to discuss whether
you would like a pre-selected Student technology assistant,
or if you would like to interview and select your own
from the STAPstudent pool.
- After you have selected a student, and before your student begins employment, you must review, sign and forward the STAP MOU to the STAP Coordinator.
