New Employee Information

We are excited you are joining University Recreation as a new staff member. The following New Employee Onboarding requirements must be completed within 10 days of hire.

UREC Employee Orientation

UREC student employees are responsible for registering themselves online at https://urecmembers.uark.edu/. Log on using your UARK user name and password. Select 'Programs' then select "All UREC Programs" under Classification and "UREC Employees" under Category. Finally, click on 'UREC New Employee Orientation' to register for a class.

Participants who need to cancel their registration are asked to do so as soon as they are aware of a conflict, so that the space is available for others to register.

UREC student-employees who fail to show up to a class for which they are registered will be subject to the UREC student employee discipline policy guidelines.

If you have questions regarding New Employee Orientation, email urechr@uark.edu. 

Student Employee First Aid/AED/CPR Classes
