Lack of awareness of this policy will not be an excuse for violating it and being held accountable to the consequences.

University Career Services (UCS) understands that the unexpected happens and honors when those instances occur. However, it is your responsibility to schedule an appointment on the day and time that fits your schedule. In the instance of the unexpected, it is also your responsibility to log into Handshake and cancel your appointment. When a student fails to cancel an appointment, it does two things: 1) Reduces the number of students seen by UCS Career Coaches and negatively impacts the full utilization of planned career appointments, and 2) Prevents other students from scheduling an appointment at that time.

Failure to cancel your appointment is considered a “No-Show” and will be noted in our records.

• If you have one “No-Show” appointment for failure to cancel, then you will be notified by a UCS staff member to provide you with this policy as a reminder.
• If you have two “No-Show” appointments in any semester for failure to cancel, then your access to Handshake will be suspended for no less than two (2) months and until you speak with the Associate Director for Career Education by contacting [email protected]. Suspension from Handshake means that you will not be allowed to use the platform in any capacity, not limited to scheduling appointments, researching and applying for jobs/internships, and participating in career events like on-campus interviews, career fairs and information sessions with employers.
• If you have more than two “No-Show” appointments in any semester, then your access to Handshake will be suspended for no less than three (3) months and until you speak with the Associate Director for Career Education by contacting [email protected]. Suspension from Handshake means that you will not be allowed to use the platform in any capacity, not limited to scheduling appointments, researching and applying for jobs/internships, and participating in career events like on-campus interviews, career fairs and information sessions with employers.

This policy is in place to ensure students uphold their commitments to being professional and respectful of our teams’ time, and to facilitate opportunities for fellow Tar Heels to access career education support as well.
