FAQ About Applying to be a TOL

Questions about being a Titan Orientation Leader? Take a moment to review the FAQ below to find the answers to your questions.

Who can apply to be a TOL?
Students who will be a junior or senior in the 2012-13 academic year are eligible to apply to be TOLs.

Is there a GPA Requirement?
Yes. To be eligible to serve as a TOL, students must have and maintain a 2.500 cumulative GPA during their term as an orientation leader.

Can I be in a fraternity or sorority and still be a TOL?
YES! In fact, many of our TOLs are members of fraternities or sororities. However, if you are the Recruitment Officer for your chapter and will have heavy time demands during Turning Titan week (i.e. "work week") you will probably not have the time to serve as a TOL due to time conflicts.

Can I work for the Office of Residential Life and be a TOL at the same time?
YES! RA, FYRA, and RCA training can be a great asset when working with Titan Orientation groups. If you are planning on being a FYRA, you will want to bring this up during your interview so any potential time conflicts can be assessed at that time.

Can I be a TOL if I will be a sophomore in the Fall?
Currently, only students that are going to be Juniors or Seniors in the fall of Turning Titan are eligible to be selected as TOLs. Students who will be sophomores during Turning Titan can be selected as members of the Turning Titan Logistics Team. Applications for this will be available during spring 2012.

Can I be a TOL if I am studying abroad?
If you are studying abroad during the application process we will be happy to work with you over email and IM to get your application materials processed. If you are applying as a first time TOL and are studying abroad during the Spring semester of your potential TOL term, you are not eligible to be a TOL. If you are planning on being off campus during the Fall semester and will be missing Turning Titan, you are not eligible to be a TOL.
