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.
