Fee Based Event Cancellation Policy

For events where a recruiter registration fee is required, no refunds will be made for cancellations made less than 1 week prior to the event. Organizations that do not show up for the event without proper cancellation are responsible for full payment. Organizations with outstanding payments will not be permitted to participate in future events until payment is received.


On-Campus Recruiting Program Cancellation Policy

Employers who utilize the On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) program are asked to give sufficient notice (i.e. a minimum of 48 hours) if an interview is cancelled. If an interview is cancelled within 48 hours of the scheduled meeting time, the recruiter will be advised to contact the students individually to make arrangements for another interview date/time. The recruiter is also asked to share cancellation information with Career Services staff.

SUNY Cortland’s Career Services has a strict policy on late cancellation of interviews or “no shows” by students participating in OCR.  If a student does not give proper notice at least two days prior to a scheduled interview, they will be deactivated from the OCR program. Students are required to send the recruiter a formal letter of apology and state the reason for the missed interview before permission to restore active status to the OCR program can be granted.

Grievances

Career Services staff will investigate complaints by users of our services which may involve employers, job postings, or work assignments. If it is determined that the complaint is justified, we reserve the right to deny requests for future recruitment activity. In such cases, the organization will be given the opportunity to respond to the complaint; final decisions will be communicated in writing. Career Services reserves the right to terminate or refuse the participation of any organization in SUNY Cortland Career Services’ activities.

Right to Refuse Service

SUNY Cortland is committed to the principles of equal opportunity, respect and fair treatment for all. Accordingly, Career Services reserves the right to reject placement requests from any prospective employer if their posting, policies or procedures appear to violate the College's commitment to equal opportunity and fair treatment for all, regardless of race, color, sex, age, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, marital status or status as a military veteran. Additional factors that may lead to exclusion from recruitment activities at SUNY Cortland include: fraud, misrepresentation, breach of confidentiality, complaints by or harassment of SUNY Cortland students, alumni, or staff requiring personal information (e.g. bank and/or social security numbers) when not part of the hiring process or failure to adhere to university policies and/or any violation of federal state and local laws.
