Career Services Policies - St. Norbert College

Career Services Office Policies

Rationale for Policies:
The events organized by the staff in Career Services provide St. Norbert students the opportunity to interact with many people in the educational, business, and professional community. Therefore, it is in the best interest of all program participants to be professional, organized, and well-prepared. Career Services policies are established to ensure a favorable impression of St. Norbert College students and graduates to the professional community.

The events hosted by Career Services involve a significant number of individuals. Early and firm student sign-up is helpful in order to recruit the appropriate representatives and organize the events in a timely and first-class manner.

Office Expectations of Students:

Provide Accurate Information: Job search materials should be truthful and accurate

Act with Integrity:
- Honor Commitments: Keep all scheduled career counseling appointments and scheduled interviews
- Genuine Interest: Schedule interviews and appointments only with employers and counselors you have a genuine interest in working with.
- Professional Conduct: Accept an offer of employment in good faith and notify employers of acceptance or non-acceptance of the offer. After accepting a position, withdraw your candidacy from all other interviews.

Failure to Comply:
- No Show: Failure to show up for a scheduled interview on-campus may result in losing the privilege to participate in future employer-related events. The only acceptable excuse is a substantiated family/personal emergency. If you do not show up for a scheduled interview on-campus, you will be required to write a letter of apology to the employer and give a copy of the letter to Career Services within two days of the missed interview.
- Non-Compliance: Failure to adhere to any of the above office expectations may result in the denial of access to Career Connections or interview privileges with the Career Services Office.

In order to facilitate our mission, the Career Services Office is committed to the following:

Provide Services: Assist with occupational exploration, self-assessment, career development and job search for students and alumni. Currently enrolled St. Norbert College students and St. Norbert College alumni are eligible to use our services.
Access of Information: Provide access to comprehensive services, programs, resources, career opportunities and a variety of employers.
Provide Reasonable Accommodations: Students with documented disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations. Reasonable accommodations are modifications or adjustments to either the College environment or to academic processes which make it possible for students with disabilities to perform the functions necessary for fulfillment of College degree requirements. Reasonable accommodations include neither those which require significant difficulty or expense for the College nor personal items, such as eyeglasses.
Confidentiality: Exercise sound judgment and fairness in maintaining confidentiality.
E-Mail Confidentiality: The Career Services staff regards e-mail as an appropriate medium for requesting general job search information or details regarding career counseling services or programs. Confidentiality is essential to the integrity of the advising/counseling process, and while we will do our best to keep your messages private, we cannot guarantee that the contents of your e-mail will remain confidential. We encourage you to check the privacy policy of your e-mail provider as well.
Student Advocacy: Respond to employer EEO non-compliance concerns and unethical behavior.
Non-Discrimination: St. Norbert College does not discriminate on the basis of age, citizenship, color, disability, marital status, national origin, religion, or sex in matters of educational programs, activities, or employment policies. The College adheres to federal and State Laws including Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. The Affirmative Action Officer, Officer of Human Resources, is at 920-403-3211.
