Career Centre Attendance Policy

Please read the following information on this page before you register for any UTM Career Centre workshops or events:


Attendance Policy

Appointments

Please be aware that our appointments are in demand, and in order to maximize availability, we have a cancellation policy: students who fail to keep an appointment (i.e., do not cancel in advance, do not show up, arrive more than 10 mins late for a 30 min appointment or 15 mins late for a one-hour appointment) cannot book another appointment for two weeks. If this occurs three times, students will not be able to book an appointment for four months and will have to meet senior manager to discuss a plan for ensuring future appointments are kept. If you need to cancel your appointment, please call us at least one business day in advance.

Workshops & Events

This policy applies to all workshops, employer sessions and events, including but not limited to: employer sessions, networking breakfasts, workshops, conferences, information sessions, orientations, panels etc. organized by the UTM Career Centre.

Please note that at the beginning of each academic term (January, May, and September) the number of missed workshops and events is reset to zero.


Cancelling your registration

Students are always able to cancel their bookings up to 24 hours in advance of the session to avoid any of the consequences noted below. Simply log into CLNx and click on the "My Event Registrations" tab at the top of your dashboard.


Late arrivals

Students who arrive more than 10 minutes late for workshops or other pre-registered events will be considered as not having attended. Students who arrive late for employer sessions, after the Career Centre staff member has left the door and stopped taking attendance, will also be considered as not having attended.
