Student Policies

The guidelines below apply to the on–campus recruiting process as well as interactions with internal UGA constituents. All students are required to submit a signed copy of these policies prior to beginning their first day of classes in the Terry College of Business MBA Program.

• Interviews may only be canceled with CMC permission at least two full business days in advance. If a student violates this policy, s/he must address a letter of apology to the company and submit it to the MBA Career Management Center for delivery to the company. A second violation results in suspension of recruiting privileges for the remainder of the academic year.
• Job offers are to be addressed directly with the person in the organization with whom the student has the strongest relationship. Job offer refusals are to be handled over the phone or in person, not via email.
• Accepted job offers may not be overturned, and verbal acceptances are binding. Once an offer is accepted, interviewing is to stop, and candidacy for other opportunities must be withdrawn. Accepting an offer creates a binding agreement between the student and the employer. Throughout all negotiations, students are to keep the CMC staff fully informed.

Violations of job acceptance policies subject the student to the suspension of recruiting privileges for the current academic year and, if the violations occur after the end of the recruiting process, to the suspension of recruiting privileges for the subsequent academic year or for alumni for a five–year period, as appropriate.
