The employer provides the necessary information needed to post a job vacancy (organization name, products or services provided, compensation information, job description, organization literature, etc.) Full disclosure to Career Services/Job Center and students is required.

3. Third Party Recruiters must be representing specific employers who have contracted with them, and will disclose to Career Services the names of the represented employers.

4. The employment opportunity may or may not require a college degree. Experiential education opportunities can be offered for any college student (i.e. internships and co-ops).

5. The employers provide information on students hired through Career Services/Job Center postings, including names, rates of pay, hours worked per week, and beginning dates (as requested).

6. The position complies with federal and state affirmative action and equal employment opportunity regulations.

7. The employer abides by the “Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services & Employment Professionals” as published by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. http://www.naceweb.org/about/principl.html#principles_for_employment_professionals

Career Services/Job Center will NOT post a position nor host for on-campus recruiting, career day or job fair if:

1. The employment opportunity involves on-campus solicitation, sales, or posting of materials, products or services.

Career Services/Job Center professional personnel will investigate all complaints by students about job postings, employers, or work assignments and interview processes.
