I don't know my UT EID and/or password. Can you tell me what it is? If you are not your company’s primary hiring manager or HR representative, please contact that person within your organization to obtain the EID and password that has been assigned to your company. If you are the hiring manager or HR contact and you have forgotten your password, contact the ECAC Recruiting Coordinator, Denise Mendoza, at (512) 471-7476 to have your password reset. If your company is new to recruiting with ECAC, please do not attempt to create a UT EID yourself. Denise can set up an EID for you that our employer interactive system will recognize. Our employer interactive system will not recognize personal EIDs.
I tried to log in and received a message that my EID is locked. What do I do? The locked EID message appears due to too many invalid login attempts. You must contact the Denise Mendoza, (512) 471-7476, to have your password reset.
Can you
fax or email the Interview Information Forms to me?

the difference between completing an "Interview Information Form" and
posting a job to the "Job Board"?
Why do students only have 3 days to submit resumes? Each week students have a 3 day window to view employers coming to campus to interview during a scheduled week. We have found, from talking to our students, that this window of time is efficient, and they appreciate the consistent schedule.
Can resume submission dates and selection due dates be extended? We must hold to the deadlines. Changing the system for an individual changes it for everyone. Extending deadlines leaves students confused and can make a bad impression on them if an employer does it.
A student did not list his/her GPA on their resume. Can your office give me that information? No. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that pertains to the release of and access to student educational records. FERPA prohibits us from giving out GPA information without consent from of the student.
Why does the student’s resume include “Permanent Resident” in the residency status section when I requested “U.S. Citizens Only”? We are required to display employability status with “US Citizen” and “Permanent Resident” combined. Permanent residents cannot be excluded from employment opportunities unless U.S. Citizenship is required for the position.
I met a student at Expo. Can I interview him/her on my pre-select schedule? Yes. You can request that engineering students you met at Expo be added to your list of selections if you are able to get us their names by the pre-select selections due date (see recruiting calendar for deadlines)Please contact Joanne Meziere at joanne.meziere@mail.utexas.edu or (512) 471-7455 and she will explain the process of adding students to your selection list.
When adding Expo students to pre-select schedules, keep in mind that students are not required to sign up for a time slot if you select them for an interview. Students are only obligated to sign up for time slots if they submit their resume to you through the pre-select system.
A second option for interviewing expo students is to reserve a closed schedule and schedule the expo students yourself.
Why am I limited to the number of non-engineering students I can interview in ECAC? Since UT Austin is a decentralized university, each school/college must serve the needs of its students. We understand the need of some employers to recruit across different schools/colleges, but it is important that employers establish and maintain a relationship with each school/college by recruiting through them. However, we are aware that on occasion, an employer may need to interview a minimal number of non-engineering students. We can support these interviews provided they do not exceed 25% of the students interviewed, as agreed by the separate school/colleges on campus.
How or
when can I view my interview schedule? Will I be notified when the schedule
is complete?
Where is the career center located? The Engineering Career Assistance Center is located in Ernest Cockrell Jr. Hall (ECJ), Room 2.400. ECJ is the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Building. It is located on the southwest corner of Dean Keeton and San Jacinto. Please see our Campus Visit page for detailed directions and maps.
Where do I park? Visitor parking is limited to public, self-pay parking garages. The closest parking garage is located on San Jacinto just south of Dean Keeton. It is approximately a 5 minute walk to ECJ from the garage. The cost is $8.00 per day. ECAC cannot validate parking tickets.
