does not agree with the requirements.

When can I withdraw my application for
an on-campus visit with a company?
A student can withdraw their application ONLY before the application deadline.
Once the deadline has passed, you are obligated, if you are selected to
interview, to sign up for an interview time. Once you have
signed up for
a time you
must show up for their interview. Students who do not sign up
or show up for their interview will lose their recruiting privileges. Failure
to attend a scheduled interview requires a letter of apology to the company
with a copy to betty.jane.cornell@villanova.edu

Why is it wrong to renege on an offer?
Consider acceptance of employment as a commitment to that employer. Reneging is not condoned by CSO. It reflects poorly on Villanova and could result in the employer severing its relationship with the university and a loss of service to you.
