Policies

The Elliott School and the Office of Graduate Student Services encourage professional behavior from all students, including keeping commitments to attend scheduled appointments, career-related events (workshops, networking events, speakers/panels, etc.), and employer events (presentations & site visits).

Students should cancel appointments and event registrations at least 24 hours beforehand. High-demand employer events (on-campus interviews, site visits) and other important career events may have more stringent registration and cancellation expectations, as noted in the policy below and in the event descriptions.
