Graduate and Undergraduate Program Assistant

Verdict

University of Victoria is a well-established, legitimate public research institution with a verified official website and dedicated careers portal. The posting directs applicants to apply online through the university's ATS system with no suspicious payment, mailing, or ID requirements. All verification checks confirm business and location match with high confidence (0.98). The only minor concern is the unusually low salary range ($4,363–$4,525 annually), which appears to be a data entry error or refers to a very part-time role, but this alone does not indicate fraud given the employer's clear legitimacy.
