RCCs are Resident Computer Consultants, students who live in each residence and support in-room network connections, residence computer clusters, as well as consult with residents on computer-related problems and other technology needs. To find out more, check out the RCC Job Description. You can also talk to your own RCC - take a look at the RCC Directory. Q. What's the difference between an RCC and a Row RCC? A. Row RCCs have the same responsibilities as regular RCCs and must fully participate on the house management team. Row RCC applicants, like all other RCC applicants, must pass a first round interview, but are then passed on to and hired by house management teams. Since Row RCCs do not support as many students in each house as other RCCs, Row RCCs are paid on a sliding scale depending on the number of residents in his/her house.

If you plan to apply to the Row RCC process, your participation in the selection process will not be impacted. You will have to make sure that you fulfill the CS196 course requirement prior to leaving, however. This means that you may need to attend class on the first day Winter quarter to request a waiver, or take CS196 in the Winter quarter. If you are going to be away during Spring quarter and plan to apply to the Dorm RCC process, you must contact the RCC Manager at rccmanager@rescomp.stanford.edu to make sure you have a first round interview. Then, it is your responsibility to speak to the RFs/CDs for the residences you would like to apply to. It is at the individual RFs/CDs' discretion whether or not they will accept applicants who will be away during Spring quarter and meet with them ahead of time. You must also make sure you fulfill the CS196 requirement or waive out of the requirement ahead of time. This is a required course for all undergraduate RCCs. Since the application materials are completed online, there is no difference in submitting the application materials (including recommendations) compared to an applicant who will not be away Spring quarter. Q. What's required for the position A. RCCs are required to be a registered student at Stanford and living in on-campus housing during all three quarters of apppointment. Undergraduate RCCs must have taken the RCC class (CS196) before beginning their position or must have waived out of that requirement for the position. To request a waiver, attend the first day of CS196. Also see the Job Description for more information on requirements for the RCC position.. Q. How do I apply? A. When made available, you can access all your application materials and resources through ResJobs at http://resjobs.stanford.edu. Q. Who should I ask for a recommendation? A. It is a good idea to ask someone who can assess your abilities as an RCC. Ideally this person knows about the responsibilities of the RCC position, but it is not required. Current RCCs, other house staff members, RFs, professors and previous supervisors outside of Stanford are some examples. We recommend that you request more than one recommendation in the event that one of your recommenders is not able to submit a recommendation by the deadline; two recommendations also tend to give the hiring committees a better basis for their decisions. Q. When are applications due? When do I find out if I've gotten an interview? When do I find out if I've gotten an offer? A. Important dates are posted in the ResJobs System under the appropriate RCC process at http://resjobs.stanford.edu. You may check your application status through the ResJobs system. Q. If I've completed an application in the past, can I reuse a recommendation that was previously submitted for me? A. Unfortunately, you must have another recommendation submitted for you. Q. If I've previously applied, do I need to interview again? A. If you've applied in a previous year, you will need to interview with ResComp again. However, if you've applied to the Row RCC process and are applying to the Dorm RCC process in the same academic year, you may request to forward your ResComp interview results to the Dorm RCC process. If you are a current RCC, you do not need to interview with ResComp. Q. How can I find out more about the Resident Fellows? A. For more information on Resident Fellows, you can read their bios. Their bios will be available when Dorm RCC applications are available. Q. What if I am a current RCC or have been one in the past? A. For former or current RCCs, use the following guidelines for applying: If you are an undergraduate RCC and would like to return to a different residence, you must re-apply, as the RFs or student managers will select you. You need not complete a first round interview with ResComp. If you are a current undergraduate RCC (not including the Row) and would like to return to your residence, you as well as your RF/CD must notify the RCC Manager by the appropriate deadline. If you are a Row RCC and would like to return to your residence, unfortunately you too must re-apply as all student managers for the Row must do. You need not complete a first round interview with ResComp. If you have been an RCC before, but are not one currently, in lieu of a qualifying interview you must meet with the RCC Manager to review your time as an RCC. If you are a current graduate RCC and would like to return, you must complete the Graduate RCC application (only certain sections) by the appropriate deadline as well as meet with the RCC Manager to review your time as an RCC. If you are a current undergraduate RCC and would like to return as a graduate RCC, you must complete the Graduate RCC application (only certain sections) by the appropriate deadline as well as meet with the RCC Manager to review your time as an RCC.
