Career Services Mission Statement

Career Services, part of the Division of Student Affairs, partners with students and alumni to help them develop, implement, and evaluate their career plans. Our mission is to provide guidance and resources to support career decisions, develop job search strategies, and pursue experiential opportunities and employment.

Career Services Vision Statement

Career Services achieves excellence in service by committing to provide first-rate career services to every University of La Verne student and alumna/alumnus. We offer industry specific, individualized and supportive career counseling and resources to meet our clients’ diverse and changing needs. Our ability to do so depends on our view of our administrative, classified, undergraduate and graduate student staff as professionals. We hold each to a high level of professionalism and support his or her education and development. We value each staff member’s unique contributions. We further strive to promote faculty involvement in the career development process through collaborative relationships, classroom presentations, and in building employer, community and campus partnerships to create career opportunities. We pride ourselves on being integral to the educational experience and promoting student retention and life-long learning at the university.  

In order to maximize our resources, time and expertise, we require that all clients who use Career Services are enrolled students or alumni. If you have withdrawn, are academically dismissed, are not enrolled, and do not have a degree posted at the University of La Verne, you will not be able to utilize Career Services' resources.

Appointment Policy

Due to our full appointment schedule and the career needs of students and alumni at our eight campuses, we require that you arrive on time or early to all appointments. We do not schedule same day appointments because of the in-depth nature of the assistance we provide. This policy allows our counselors to maximize the amount of research and resources they can prepare for you before you begin your appointment.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes late,you will be asked to reschedule your appointment to another day. If you cannot keep your scheduled appointment time, you must provide at least 24 hours notice by calling the Career Services front desk at 909-593-3511 x4054. Cancellations given less than 24 hours in advance or failure to attend will be considered "no-shows."

If you have two "no-shows," you will not be permitted to reschedule another appointment with a counselor for one full semester. Other types of assistance will be offered at the discretion of the director.
