Career Services - Division of Student Life - Tarleton State University
Code Of Conduct /Cancellation Policies

No Show/Cancellation policies have been established to help students develop professional business practices and courtesies in the world of work and to ensure students a successful launch into their careers. Missed or late appointments inconvenience others:

  1. Employers who take time to come to Tarleton to recruit and have planned their schedules around interview dates/times.
  2. Students who desired an interview, but were unable to schedule an appointment because the schedule was full.
  3. Tarleton State University and the Career Service Center’s relationship with employers and community volunteers who serve as mock interview mentors.

The no show policy applies when a student does not appear and/or fails to cancel a scheduled interview with an employer on campus, a mock interview, or any appointment with career services staff such as resume assistance, career counseling, or job search consultation.

On Campus Interview --If you fail to appear or do not cancel before 12 pm (noon) the day before an interview date, you will be considered as a no show for a company interview. You will need to write a letter/email of apology to the company recruiter within 2 working days of the missed interview. Contact Karen Bills, the On-Campus Recruiting Coordinator, at 968-9078 to obtain the address. A copy of the letter/email should also be sent to Ms. Bills at bills@tarleton.edu.

Class Assigned Mock Interview -- If you fail to appear or do not cancel before 12 pm (noon) the day before an interview date, you will be considered as a no show.
