Faculty/Staff Guide to Ethical and Legal Standards in Student Hiring
As faculty and staff of the College, you frequently play a key role in assisting students seeking jobs and internships and in helping employers (many of them alumni) access our students to fill positions.
To make sure college faculty and staff outside of career services offices are aware of the "rules of the game" as defined by employment law, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has prepared A Faculty Guide to Ethical and Legal Standards in Student Hiring. Please review this article and to feel free to contact CCS with any questions you might have.
CCS Job & Internship Offer Guidelines
To afford our students the maximum reasonable opportunity to evaluate and consider internship and job offers, CCS has established the following guidelines regarding the time students should be allowed to consider and respond to offers for internships and regular, full-time employment.
We ask that employers follow these guidelines, as doing so will give students a reasonable period of time to consider their career options and should help minimize reneged job/internship offer acceptances.
Full-Time Employment Offers
Prior to Graduation
Please allow students at least three weeks to consider and respond to your offer.
After Graduation
Please allow new alumni at least two weeks to consider and respond to your offer.
Internship Offers
Please allow students at least one week to consider and respond to your offer.
