The reciprocity policy enables University of Delaware alumni/ae to request use of the career center of a more local college or university. The University of Delaware Career Center will write a general letter of reciprocity on your behalf requesting use of another career centers' services.

You may wish to contact a college's career center before visiting, to determine which services might be available to you.

Typically, colleges offer the following services through the reciprocity policy:

• career literature, videotapes, resource directories, annual reports, and contact information for researching career fields, companies, etc.
• "how-to" guides on resume and cover letter writing, informational interviewing and interviewing.
• workshops on resume writing, cover letter writing, and various other topics are available at some universities.
• job listings, usually organized by career fields, are available on a database or in binders.
• appointments with counselors are available at very few of the universities through the reciprocity policy.

Reciprocity Policy for Non-UD Students and Non-UD Alumni

Limited services are available to non-UD students and alumni. Reciprocal Services are reserved for students and alumni of colleges and universities outside the state of Delaware. Students and alumni from colleges and universities within Delaware need to make use of the resources offered by their “home” institutions. Requesting individuals must provide a letter requesting service from the their "home" institution. The purpose of the letter is two-fold:

1. To verify that the individual is a student or graduate of that institution, and
2. To indicate the nature of services that would be made available to UD students requesting service from that institution. Service may be denied if the “home” institution does not provide similar reciprocity.

Free Services

1. Initial one half-hour appointment with a career advisor.
2. Access to www.udel.edu/CSC- the Career Services web site
3. Attendance at workshops on resume writing, job search, and interview preparation.

Fee-Based Services

1. Use of Blue Hen Jobs to search for jobs and internships. Non-UD individuals have “browser” status only. This allows you to see all contact information and job descriptions for employers but you cannot upload your resume or apply directly for jobs through the system.

2. Use of the Career Resource Center- career library.

3. Attendance at Career Fairs occurring within the six months activation period.
