Career Services Code of Conduct & Cancellation Procedures
The following procedures are provided as a basis for ethical conduct with the intention to protect you and employers. The reputations of the Career Services Center and Tarleton State University are at stake with employers when a student displays unprofessional behavior. This can also result in the loss of the recruiting opportunities for future students.
Not adhering to the no show/cancellation procedures may result in a loss of privileges. If you have questions about the Code of Conduct or wish to make an appeal, please contact Alana Hefner, Director of Career Services at (254) 968-9078 or [email protected].
Any communication (written or verbal) perceived by a Tarleton State staff or faculty as demeaning, threatening, derogatory or inflammatory by a student/alumni may result in a loss of privileges and services provided by the Career Services Center. All instances will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
