美国留学“4.15”协议早知道
Acceptance of an offer of financial support (such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by a prospective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affecting such offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by all parties.
Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this Resolution. In those instances in which a student accepts an offer before April 15, and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time hrough April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made. Similarly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation by the student of the written release from any previously accepted offer. It is further agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to the above Resolution that a copy of this Resolution should accompany every scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, and assistantship offer.
The following list includes CGS member institutions that indicated their support of the Resolution.

什么是“4.15”协议
针对国际学生选校申请中存在的问题，美国多所大学联合制定了“4.15协议”，该协议于1999年实施。
前表所列各校即为“4.15协议”院校。
“4.15协议”是为了约束学生同时接获多所学校的录取但临近开学才通知某些学校“放弃offer”的不当行为。学生的这种做法，极大地影响了学校的正常招生和教学秩序，也让大笔奖学金放空闲置。同时，这种做法也损害了学生所在国申请者的形象，更给以后的留学申请者带来诸多负面的影响和麻烦。
“4.15协议”规定，在每年的4月15日之前，申请者可以任意选择一家已录取他的学校就读，并予以明确回复。即，4月15日之前，必须将自己的决定通知所有的学校。然后，及时寄还不拟就读院校的录取通知书、I-20表格等各类录取资料。否则，未收到选校结果通知的学校就有权请求 “4.15协议”的其他院校拒收该生。
