Cancelling Interviews You are encouraged to use your ISU CMS account to apply for possible interviews and jobs listings. ISU CMS is available at https://ecms.eng.iastate.edu/students.

What happens if you schedule an interview and you need to cancel?           Students must cancel an interview 48 hours prior to the interview date. The employer scheduled travel based upon your commitment to interview. Your professional courtesy to cancel is important. To cancel an interview 48 hours prior to the interview, access your ISU CMS account:

• From the header select, Interviews, and  then click on the tab Scheduled Interviews,

• Choose the appropriate interview and on the right, click Cancel.

If you do not cancel 48 hours prior to the interview, what do you need to do?

• Contact Engineering Career Services at ecs@iastate.edu. We will inform the employer that you will not be at the interview and you must write a letter of apology.  You will need to follow the process described in the No Show Policy.

No Show / Late Cancellation Policy

If you are a no show or cancel late for an interview, the following steps are taken:

• Your ISU CMS account is blocked and you are informed by email.

• Within three business days of the missed interview, write a formal business letter of apology, bring the letter to 308 Marston in an open addressed stamped envelope.
