In accordance with University Policy 1600.01 Requesting an Exception to the Normal Competitive Search Process (Requesting an Appointment of Opportunity), and Procedure 1600.01A Requesting a Dual Career Assistance (DCA) Appointment of Opportunity, this E-sign form is to be completed by a current Western employee or prospective employee (defined as a "Primary Employee" in Procedure 1600.01A), in order to request DCA consideration for the Primary Employee's spouse/partner. Dual Career Assistance may be requested by faculty, professional or classified staff, and executive officers, and is intended as a recruitment or retention measure for the Primary Employee.

Questions regarding this form or the University's Policy and Procedure pertaining to Requests for Dual Career Assistance should be directed to the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance (360-650-3307 or CRTC@wwu.edu).

In accordance with PRO-1600.01A, requests for DCA require approval from the Primary Employee's Department Chair/Director and Dean/Vice President.

Upon completion of this form receiving all of the necessary approvals, as indicated below in the routing instructions, the Primary Employee and/or their spouse/partner's contact information will be added by Human Resources to an e-mail listserv so they can be informed of new or vacant employment postings available at Western, to which the spouse/partner may apply as a DCA candidate. Applicable jobs will be held for 5 business days before being advertised publicly (see Policy 1600.01 for exceptions). DCA requests for new or vacant positions are only available during the 5-day DCA posting and are no longer available once a position has been advertised externally.

The Primary Employee may periodically be asked to submit an updated copy of this "Requesting Dual Career Assistance" E-sign form for approvals in order for their spouse/partner to continue to be subscribed to the e-mail listsev in order to be notified of DCA opportunities. Following completion of this initial E-sign form, the Primary Employee, if interested, may also complete and submit a Requesting Dual Career Assistance - Development of New Position e-sign form, in order to request consideration for development of a new position for the employment of their spouse/partner as a DCA opportunity.
