Registrant's Terms of Agreement Policy
You, as the fair registrant, are responsible for abiding by the following policies:

Payment Deadline Policy: All payments must be received by Friday, September 29.

Cancellation/Refund Policy: If your organization needs to withdraw from the fair, you must notify Elaine Salisbury, Employer Relations Specialist, via email by Friday, September 8. No refunds will be granted after this date. 

Credit/Cancellation Policy for Weather & Emergency Conditions: In the event that the Job and Internship Fair must be cancelled for circumstances beyond our control (e.g. inclement weather, campus emergency, power or server outages), causing the virtual or in-person fair not to run as scheduled, a credit will be given to a future fair in lieu of a refund.

No Show Policy: If representatives are unable to attend the in-person or virtual fair at the last minute, your organization will be responsible for paying the registration fee in full. If a registration has been made and fees paid and your organization is a "no-show" for the fair, registration fees will not be refunded or credited toward future fairs. For virtual fairs, even if a schedule is not created/claimed by a representative, the fair registrant is still responsible for fair fee, and no longer eligible for a refund.

Only organizations with accounts in good standing will be eligible to participate in campus recruiting activities in the future.

Violation of Recruiting Policies

Any violation of our employer recruiting policies or online career services Terms of Service may result in a sanction against the organization.  Examples of recruiting violations may include but are not limited to:  disclosure of student information, unprofessional or inappropriate conduct with students, or mass-emailing to faculty, staff, students or alumni.

An organization that commits a violation of American University Recruiting Policies will receive notice of the violation.  In addition to issuing the notice, American University may also impose a sanction against the organization for the violation. Sanctions imposed may result in the following: 1) issuance of a warning letter, 2) suspension of recruiting privileges at American University for a designated period, or 3) termination of recruiting privileges.   In the event of a suspension, the sanctioned organization may request reinstatement of recruiting privileges shortly before expiration of the designated sanction period. The request for reinstatement shall include information on how the organization will avoid any future occurrences of the violation sanctioned and detail what, if any, procedures the organization will employ to avoid any future violation of American University Recruiting Policies. Upon review of the request for reinstatement, American University will send a written notification of reinstatement and the effective date of the reinstated recruiting privileges.

Any sanction may be appealed to the Executive Director of the American University. The Executive Director will review the appeal and determine whether the sanction will be affirmed, modified, or reversed.  Upon such determination, the Executive Director will send written notification of the decision to the organization.
