Policy and Procedures

Posting Policy for All Positions

Employers recruiting through the Career Development Center should adhere to the principles set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) regarding professional standards and ethical conduct .

Due to the increasing number of fraudulent positions, phishing scams, and questionable employment opportunities; the Career Development Center staff reviews every employer and position before posting to students. Although we cannot guarantee the integrity of every position, we take every effort to not only protect students, but also the reputations of our employers who are also victims of fraudulent activity.
