Effectively using the employment system
Effectively attaching documents
Illinois State University has a wide variety of open positions, which require different application types. To ensure that you complete the correct application, we suggest you search for open positions first. However, if you wish to complete an application before searching for open positions, complete the application associated with the position(s) you intend to apply for:
Tenure-Track and Non-Tenure Track positions are not currently advertised in the online employment system. To apply for one of these positions, refer to Illinois State University Jobs.
At this point, you have not applied for a position . To apply to a specific position, refer to 'Apply for Positions'.
The first time you complete an application, you will be asked to create a username and password. Be sure to select a username and password that you can easily remember. You will be asked to enter them each time you access the system, so you may want to write them down for your records. Your username and password are case-sensitive (i.e., "Username" is not the same as "username").
Note: You can only create one username and password. The same username and password will be used for all positions you apply to.
After creating your username and password, you will be taken through a series of screens asking different information, depending on the type of application you have selected:
