Questions about Center for Career Education Services

What schools does the Center for Career Education serve?

CCE provides services to students and alumni of the following schools:

Are services available to students on leave, suspended students, or visiting students?

Students on leave for non-disciplinary reasons keep access to CCE’s services. This includes career counseling, events, and LionSHARE. Students do not have access to CCE internship and/or mentorship programs, and summer funding if they are on leave during the application processes for these positions or programs. Please note that some employers require that students be enrolled at the university to apply for and/or participate in their internship or full-time recruiting processes or programs. We see this most often with positions affiliated with on campus interviewing. We encourage students to review job descriptions closely for eligibility requirements.

Students that are suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons or that permanently leave before graduation lose all access to CCE’s services. Students suspended for disciplinary reasons will regain access to CCE services once readmitted to the University. Visiting students do not have access to CCE with one exception. Please see Visiting Students page for details.

How do I cancel or reschedule a career counseling appointment?

  • To cancel a career counseling appointment, simply log in to view your list of scheduled appointments and select “Cancel”. You may also choose to reschedule your session to a different time if necessary.

  • The first time you do not show up for your appointment, you will receive a warning but still maintain access to career counseling.

  • If this happens a second time, you will lose access to career counseling appointments for the remainder of the semester. 

May my parents attend my career counseling session? 

  • If you would like your parent/guardian to be involved with your career counseling session, you must first sign and submit this consent form to your career counselor. Please note that our general practice, once you grant consent, is to hold the career counseling session with you and speak with your parent/guardian separately.
