Placement Files

What is a Placement File?
A placement file contains some key credentials you will need to conduct a successful job search. Credentials include professional information and supportive documents you have collected related to your background and qualifications. Your placement file is mailed to employers and-or graduate schools either at your written request or at the written request of employers or graduate schools. A file is established when you submit a completed Placement File Registration Form. Personal copies of your placement file can not be released to you. If you desire your own file copy, request copies of letters of recommendation directly from the originator at the time you ask them to write for you. Letters of recommendation will be accepted only from those who write them. Hand delivery of placement files is strictly prohibited.

What is included in the file?

You may keep a maximum of eight items in your file. Do not include a resume, as it will become outdated quickly.
