協定的背景知識

1999年，美國多家大學聯合制定並實施針對外國研究生的“4·15協定”，主要內容為：申請赴美留學、已拿到多個帶offer（有關財政資助）的學校錄取通知書的研究生，必須在4月15日前決定一所你要去的學校，否則，所有錄取通知書將都被視作無效。這個“協定”的用意，是約束某個申請人同時接受多個學校的錄取，但直到開學前才通知其中一些學校“無法按時就讀”的不當行為。申請人的這一做法將大大影響學校正常的招生、教學秩序，也讓美國每年白白放空大筆獎學金。當然，他們還損害了本國申請者的形象，為後來的申請者帶來麻煩。

“4·15協定”主要內容在每年的4月15日之前，申請者可以在已錄取他的學校中任意選擇一家就讀，但明確答覆所選大學的時間應不晚於4月15日，還應儘可能早地把自己的決定通知別的學校。

留足時間，將已經收到錄取通知書但決定拒絕的學校的各類錄取資料，包括I－20表格，在4月15日之前寄回（材料不一定要在4月15日之前到達被拒學校，但事先必須用電子郵件通知學校）。

如果在接受一所學校的錄取之後反悔，受損害的學校有權請求所有簽署“4·15協定”的其他大學拒收該生。

協定英文原文

''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 through 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.''
