For security purposes, cancellations of on-campus interviews can only be done
by individual students on-line. As a courtesy to employers and classmates
interested in that employer, you should cancel an interview as soon as you
know that you do not want to keep the interview. The right to cancel an
interview will terminate at 9:00 a.m. central time three business days
before the scheduled interview. The deadline for this policy is inalterable.
As noted throughout the Policies and Procedures, you may cancel an interview
any time prior to 9:00 a.m. central time three business days before the interview.
Changes prior to this time can be made without any explanation. Given the ample
time to make any necessary changes, you are expected to interview if your name
appears on the final interview schedule. The College of Law considers one
No Show to be excessive. In the rare event of a No Show, the following policy
will be applied without exception:
Within 48 hours of notification by the Office of Career Services that you have
been reported as a No Show, you will be required to complete a No Show form,
send a letter of apology to the employer, provide a copy of the letter to the
Office of Career Services, and pay a $50.00 fine. Failure to comply with these
requirements within 48 hours, absent a request for an extension of time prior
to the expiration of the 48 hours, will result in a doubling of the fine and
the fine will be assessed to your University account.
- For all No Shows (excused and unexcused), you must write and mail a letter
of apology to the interviewer and provide the Office of Career Services
with a copy of that letter.
- If the No Show can be excused, the fine will be waived. There are only
three reasons a No Show will be excused:
- A medical emergency supported by a doctor's excuse;
- A family emergency that can be verified; or
- Acceptance of an offer verified by a completed employment survey.
More than one No Show will be considered grounds for suspension of
interviewing privileges and for appropriate referrals.
The College of Law is a member of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP),
and as such adheres to the Principles and Standards for Law Placement and
Recruitment Activities. A copy of this policy is available in the Career Services
Resource Center. In general, you should turn down any offer as soon as you know
it does not appeal to you.
