Recruitment Materials

Recruitment Materials and Practices

To ensure that all recruitment materials and presentations accurately reflect the University’s policies, practices, and academic offerings, UT Permian Basin requires a systematic and documented review and approval process. This process involves collaboration among key campus stakeholders, including:

  • Office of Admissions
  • Office of Graduate Studies
  • Office of Marketing and Communication
  • Relevant academic departments, programs, and colleges

This policy applies to all recruitment materials, whether produced internally or by third-party vendors.

In compliance with U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) guidelines, UT Permian Basin:

  • Prohibits commissions, bonuses, or other incentive payments—directly or indirectly—based on securing enrollments of service members.
  • Does not offer inducements to any individual or entity for the purpose of obtaining military enrollments or tuition assistance.
  • Refrains from high-pressure recruitment tactics, including repeated unsolicited phone calls, emails, or in-person visits.
  • Prohibits same-day recruitment and registration activities aimed at enrolling military service members.

Guidelines for Independent Contractors and Agents

Independent contractors or third-party agents engaged in recruitment or admissions activities on behalf of UT Permian Basin are held to the same standards and policies as University personnel. These contractors must:

  • Ensure their staff receive regular training on University policies and ethical recruitment practices.
  • Adhere to all applicable University, state, and federal regulations.
  • Affirm compliance through contractual agreements and supporting documentation.
