Interview "No Show" Policy
Career Services & Student Employment Interview No-Show PolicyBased on consistent employer feedback that some students do not show for interview times and considering that such conduct reflects poorly on the student, the department, and the university in general, Career Services & Student Employment (CSSE) has implemented an Interview No-Show Policy.
Any student who fails to show for a scheduled interview with an employer without giving CSSE at least 24 hours advance notice, will be considered a no-show. As a no-show, the student’s UV Job Board account will be inactivated and will not be reactivated until a letter of apology is sent to the employer and a copy to CSSE. If an apology letter is not submitted, then the student account will remain inactive for 6 months. Two no-shows will result in a loss of UV Job Board privileges for 12 months.
