On–Campus Recruiting
“No Show” Policy

The following policy applies to all students and alumni who participate in On–Campus Recruiting (OCR). Please note that the term “student” refers to any student or alumnus who participates in On–Campus Recruiting, regardless of their enrollment status at KSU.

The “No Show” Policy applies:

• when a student does not appear for a scheduled interview
• when a student cancels an interview after the “Cancel Interview” period ends
• when a student fails to either sign up for or decline an interview for which they have been preselected

No changes may be made to any interview schedules after 8:00 a.m. two business days before the first day of the employer’s interviews. “No Show” offenses are cumulative throughout a student’s enrollment at Kennesaw and beyond. Students who experience a medical or family emergency that causes a “No Show” should notify Robin Knight in the Career Services Center by phone (770‑423‑6555) as soon as possible. Documentation of the emergency will be required to waive any penalty.

OCR Interview “No Show” Policy:

1st Offense: Excluded from On–Campus Recruiting activity, including any interviews scheduled, or open interviews for up to 7 business days from the day of the missed interview.
Students must make an appointment to see Robin Knight within 7 business days of the missed interview. A letter of apology addressed to the interviewer and an addressed, stamped, unsealed envelope must be brought to the appointment. Failure to comply with these requirements within the stated period will result in total and permanent exclusion from future On–Campus Recruiting activities. Please note that failing to sign up for an interview you have been chosen for is counted the same as a “No Show” since you are taking an opportunity from another.

2nd Offense: Banned from all On–Campus Recruiting activities.
Why so harsh? It might not seem such a sin, but not showing for an interview is perhaps the most disruptive thing you can do because not only are you hurting your own prospects (recruiters talk to one another), but you are robbing a fellow student of a much sought after interview. Also, if “No Shows” persist, recruiters will not return to campus, thus permanently affecting future Kennesaw State students seeking employment through OCR. So, please be considerate of your fellow students and cancel your interview well before the deadline if you can’t make it.
