Interview Cancellation and No Show Policy

On-Campus interviewing is taken very seriously by Kent State University and the Career Services Center. Signing up for an on-campus interview is a commitment that is expected to be upheld.

Interview appointments should be cancelled through the Experience Job Board whenever possible. However, the interview schedules are typically frozen 48 hours prior to the scheduled interview date. Once the scheduled interview date is within 48 business hours, cancellations must be made immediately by contacting the Career Services Center by phone at 330-672-2360. When canceling an interview, you must provide your name, which organization your interview is scheduled with, and the date and time of your interview.

Due to the professional nature of on-campus interviews, the following policy will be enforced when a candidate cancels an interview after the schedule has been frozen, or fails to show up for a previously scheduled interview or mock interview.

First Occurrence:

A letter of apology/explanation must be written to the organization’s recruiter within 48 business hours of the scheduled interview. The letter must be promptly received by the Career Services Center so that we may forward the apology to the recruiter. Participation in on-campus interviewing will be suspended until the letter is received by the Career Services Center.

Second Occurrence:

A letter of apology/explanation must be written to the organization’s recruiter within 48 business hours of the scheduled interview. The letter must be promptly received by the Career Services Center so that we may forward the apology to the recruiter. With the occurrence of a second cancellation or no-show, access to Experience will be suspended for the remainder of the semester, or a minimum of 30 calendar days.

Cancellation of Classes:

Even when classes have been cancelled, the Career Services Center is open for business! If an organization has a day of scheduled interviews, they will occur as anticipated in our office. Unless we notify you personally by telephone, you can safely assume that your interviews will go on as scheduled. If there is a career event scheduled, it will also go on as planned.

The Career Services Center reserves the right to modify the terms and enforcement of this Policy at any time.
