Student/Alumni Policies and Procedures

Rationale for CSO Policies

Your college education is just one of the many professional accomplishments you will achieve in life.  The Career Services Office wants to support you in this initial step towards professional growth.  Since we work with a large constituent of students, alumni, employers, faculty, university administrators and community members, the Career Services Office wants to ensure that professionalism is maintained by all parties involved.  Our office expects that students/alumni treat these constituents with respect and courteousness.  Your actions are reflective of you, your peers and the University.  We encourage your development towards career success, and we want you to convey professionalism at every step within that development.

CSO Expectations of Students

  • Provide Accurate Information: Students/Alumni will be expected to submit truthful and accurate application materials.
  • Demonstrate Genuine Interest: Students/Alumni are expected to keep all scheduled advising appointments and on-campus interviews; students/alumni are expected to only pursue employment with companies for which they intend to work.
  • Professional Conduct: Students/Alumni are expected to accept offers of employment in good faith and to notify employers of acceptance or non-acceptance of the offer; after accepting a position, students/Alumni should withdraw their candidacy from all other interviews.

CSO Advising Appointments

Students/Alumni are expected to keep their scheduled appointments and act in a professional manner. If cancellation becomes necessary, students should contact the Career Services Office as soon as they know they will be unable to keep their appointments.

  • Appointment Setting Guidelines
    • Due to the high volume of constituents we serve, students/alumni are required to set-up an appointment in advance in order to see their Program Manager.
    • An EagleHire Network account is required to set up an appointment.
    • Students/Alumni must bring a copy of their resume to their advisement session OR may upload a resume on the EagleHire Network prior to their advisement session.
    • Alumni : one year post graduation and beyond may schedule a maximum of one personal advising session per year.
  • Tardiness
    • Students/Alumni who arrive more than 10 minutes late to their scheduled appointments will be asked to reschedule their appointments.
  • No Shows
    • Student/Alumni who have scheduled an appointment but fail to appear and do not cancel or reschedule in advance will be considered a no show.
    • Students/Alumni who fail to show to scheduled appointments may lose access to CSO services.

CSO-Sponsored Employer On-campus Interviews

Students/Alumni are expected to keep their scheduled on-campus interviews and act in a professional manner if cancellation becomes necessary. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before a scheduled interview and must be for an acceptable reason.

  • No Shows: A student/alumnus who misses an on-campus interview must write an apology letter to the employer and submit it to the CSO for delivery.
    • Failure to Comply
      • If a student/alumnus who misses an on-campus interview fails to submit an apology letter, he or she will not be permitted to schedule any further interviews and will no longer be able to apply to opportunities via the EagleHire Network.
      • Full access to EagleHire will be reinstated once an apology letter has been submitted.
