Résumé Accuracy Policy

All University of La Verne College of Law students are expected to provide factual information on their resumes and other job search documents. Résumé fraud is a very serious matter and will not be tolerated. The La Verne College of Law policy is consistent with the California State Bar Association and the American Bar Association policies regarding the importance of accuracy of all information provided on resumes. Misrepresentation on a résumé is an act of dishonesty and may result in sanctions ranging from reprimand and censure to suspension or expulsion.

If inaccuracies are discovered, the student:

• Will be required to meet with the Assistant Dean of Students and face disciplinary action. 
• Will be barred from using the resources available through the Career Services Office.
• Must correct the misrepresentation on their résumé.

In order to participate in any recruiting programs offered by the Career Services Office (Career Fairs and On-Campus Interviews), you are required to complete and submit the Résumé Verification Form along with an approved copy of your completed résumé. (You are strongly encouraged to review all résumé information available from the Career Services Office in the preparation of your résumé and submit it for a final review and approval at least 48 hours before deadlines for Career Service Office recruiting events.)
