Schedule an Appointment

  • To schedule both 15 and 45 minute appointments (available for CURRENT MATRICULATED STUDENTS and ALUMNI ONE YEAR OUT), you'll need to register with the CDC or login to your existing Cardinal Careers account
  • Be aware that the 45 minute appointments can be booked up to 2 1/2 weeks in advance during our peak times, however, numerous 15 minute appointments are available Monday - Friday. Remember, these short appointments are ideal for resume/cover letter critiques and quick questions, they are NOT appropriate for assessment interpretations. The longer appointments are appropriate for more in-depth questions and to go over the results of the assessment instruments.
