Job Offer Policies

Job/Internship Offers

The University of Dallas Office of Personal Career Development believes that allowing candidates adequate time to make an informed decision whether or not to accept an offer is in the best interest of both candidates and employers. Candidates feel more secure in their choices after they have analyzed all the information available to them, and employers can feel more confident that candidates have accepted their offer with every intention of honoring their commitment. 

OPCD  recommends that employers provide University of Dallas students four (4) weeks to decide on an offer or until the date below, whichever is later.

  • Employers extending full time offers as a result of a previous summer internship, and employers extending offers through the fall (including offers for summer 2025 start dates), are encouraged to provide students until November 14, 2024 (6 months prior to graduation) to decide.
The OPCD recruiting policy is informed by the Reasonable Offer Deadlines Guideline as set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).  Updated: 2022
