Offers of admission or offers of funding for students already offered admission should be made over the phone with a follow-up letter mailed within 24 hours. The current policy statement of the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology allows students to resign offers they previously accepted up to the April 15th decision date by submitting the resignation in writing. The purpose of this policy is to avoid pressure on students to accept offers before they have heard from other schools. Although withdrawing an acceptance is legitimate, it is not good form. A much better approach is to accept a position only if you intend to follow through on your commitment.
Students have the right to hold offers as described above if a preferable offer is still possible.
Training times are severely limited and failing to use a line once it has been offered prevents other qualified students from obtaining training.
