FAQ: Final Application, Position Descriptions and ASE ID Numbers

We have received a number of inquiries about how to access 2010 ASE position descriptions and the final application, as well as how to “log in” to the website with usernames and passwords. Just to make sure everyone is informed about the final application process, here is our first FAQ for ASE 2010:

Position Descriptions

We will be posting the ASE 2010 position descriptions on our website in late January, after the preliminary application deadline of January 15th. The ASE 2010 position description list and final application are not yet active online. We plan on sending an email to all preliminary applicants letting them know that the position descriptions are posted online, and that they may proceed onto the final application stage.

Final Application

As mentioned above, the final application will not be available until after the preliminary application deadline of January 15, 2010. We will email everyone who has completed the preliminary application when the final application goes live online. Following is a helpful final application checklist, which is also available on our website:

ASE ID Number

The username and password fields on the website are not used for the ASE application process. Rather, ASE applicants will use their ASE ID Number in a specified final application field and their adult recommenders will need to have this ID number (along with applicant date of birth) when they submit their recommendations online.
