Job Offer Dates
We provide the following expectations to provide a successful experience for both students and employers participating in on-campus recruiting.
Expectations for Employers
We ask employers participating in on-campus recruiting to please respect and adhere to the following:
- Honor job offers you make - Rescinding an offer means the student must restart their search and it damages the credibility of your organization with the student body. If there is a special circumstance where you think an offer must be withdrawn, please contact your assigned Employer Engagement Specialist on our team.
- Provide fair and reasonable time for internship and job offers - This decision impacts both their future professional and personal life. Students who are rushed to make a decision are more likely to renege on an offer. Scroll down for our internship and job offer dates.
- Provide advance notice for off-campus interviews - provide students with at least seven days' notice for an off-campus interview. This time is critical for students to arrange travel and rearrange academic and/or other leadership commitments.
Expectations for Students
The Meruelo Family Center for Career Development requires students who are engaged in a career or job search to conduct themselves in an ethical manner. Students who renege on an offer of employment (full-time job offer or internship) will be held accountable by the University and will be required to meet with a Student Affairs administrator to discuss the circumstances of why the offer was reneged. An appropriate resolution to the situation will then be developed which could include removal of access from Handshake as well as a notation in the student's educational record.
Offer Dates for 2026 Recruiting (Academic Year 2025-26)
The University of Notre Dame aligns our expectations for timelines of offers with guidance from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which states: “offer deadlines will be influenced by the available candidate pool, the available recruitment opportunities, and anticipated staffing needs. Definitions of sufficient time for these offer deadlines will vary, given industry standards, students’ experience with the employer, offer timing, students’ career interests, and proximity to graduation date/start time.”
The dates listed below are intended to balance the needs of students to make informed decisions on career plans, while also providing employers sufficient time to recruit students.
