After applying, the review process will proceed on a rolling basis through the Schedule Adjustment period of the semester. MAGE is not able to provide updates on individual applications or positions available. We recommend that students continue to seek out other employment opportunities as part of their overall position search, as MAGE positions are very competitive and not guaranteed.
Important Note: If it is determined at any point in the application or hiring process that an applicant has misrepresented meeting or is unwilling to meet the General Grader Eligibility Requirements and Semester-Specific Eligibility Requirements, they will no longer be considered for or appointed into the Grader position for that semester (i.e. their employment offer or appointed will be rescinded) OR for any future semester with MAGE.
