7. No Show Policy The CDC has a strict “no-show” policy for students who don’t show-up for scheduled interviews or who call to cancel the same day of the interview. Students who are unable to attend an on-campus interview appointment are expected to notify the CDC 48 hours prior to their scheduled appointment. It is expected that the student write a letter of apology explaining why they could not attend the interview. The letter should be e-mailed to the recruiter within a week with a copy e-mailed to jwatson@fau.edu. A second no-show automatically revokes on-campus interviewing privileges for the remainder of the recruiting season.
