Accepting An Offer/declining An Offer Letter

Accepting an Offer/Declining an Offer Letter

After you have made your decision please notify the employer by telephone and follow up with an

acceptance or a decline letter. Please keep in mind that when you accept an offer, you have a

professional obligation to join that employer. Reneging on an offer (i.e., accepting an offer,

changing your mind and then rejecting it) is both unacceptable and unprofessional; doing so damages your

professional reputation, the reputation of VCU alumni employed by that organization and, of course, the

reputation of Virginia Commonwealth University.
