• Nondiscrimination: Seattle University makes its facilities and services open only to employers who are in compliance with state and federal law pertaining to Equal Employment Opportunity.
  
  
• Fees to students: Seattle University will not host organizations such as pyramid-type organizations and other organizations that require a financial investment, purchase of supplies or equipment or pay a fee as a condition of employment unless such fees are required in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws.
  
  
• Commission based positions: The organization needs to fully disclose compensation package and business costs incurred up through the first year of employment. This includes salary, duration of salary, training allowance, incentive programs, stock options, commission structure, benefits and any costs borne by the applicant/employee including testing, licenses, classes, travel expenses and equipment. Those positions providing a salary for less than one year will be considered business opportunities and recruitment will not be permitted.
  
  
• Requesting information on academic performance: An employer should feel free to seek information from an applicant about his/her academic performance and to request a copy of the applicant's transcript if that information is important to the hiring process.
  
  
• Disclosure of company information: Employers using Seattle University's facilities for recruitment activities must register with the Career Development Center and provide complete information concerning conditions of employment, including accurate and clear information on methods of remuneration, within their organization. Employers listing employment opportunities for posting anywhere on campus should clearly disclose such conditions both in writing and when speaking with candidates.
  
  
• The final approval for employers to utilize the Career Development Center's facilities and services rests with the Director of the Career Development Center and the Vice President for Student Development. If deemed necessary, the Vice President may refer difficult cases to the Executive Team for a final decision.
  
  
• The permission to use Seattle University's facilities does not imply University approval or endorsement of the policies, practices or products of the recruiting organization.
