• All employment and volunteer listings are posted at the discretion of the Temple University Career Center Staff, which aggressively advocates for our students by reviewing every opportunity and posing pre-approval questions as needed. We reserve the right to not post a position if it does not appear to support the best interests of students and/or the University.
• We will not post positions that appear to discriminate against applicants based on race, color, religion, creed, age, national origin, disabled or Vietnam Era veteran status, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. See our Non-Discrimination Policy for more details.
• Employers may post unpaid internships, however are encouraged to review the Department of Labor Standards to ensure the position qualifies as an unpaid experience.
• Temple University does not post:
  • Campus/brand ambassador positions that require students to advertise to, solicit, and/or recruit other students/staff/faculty on campus.
  • Positions that require an investment of cash or other purchases by the prospective employee. The only exception is necessary and appropriate licensure/exam fees.
  • Positions where the student would work out of a private residence. Location of the opportunity (internship and full-time) should be at a non-residential office location except for remote work.

Organizations are responsible for all representations and offers made to students. Students should be notified of an employment offer in writing, including salary, location, benefits, and start date. Students should be given sufficient time to make an informed decision regarding the offers they receive. 

• Temple University recommends that employers allow two weeks for an offer to be considered and accepted. 
• When extending an offer at the end of a student's summer experience, we recommend that employers give the student until October 1 to accept. 

These recommendations reduce the number of renegotiated offers. 

Recruiters should neither pressure students to accept offers in less time than indicated above, nor attach bonuses that “explode” if the offer is not immediately accepted. We discourage recruiters from pursuing students who have already accepted job offers from another organization. We also recommend that employers respect the commitment students have to academics as well as scheduled interviews with other organizations.

The Career Center requests that employers do not send brochures and materials for display. We encourage organizations to link to their website and other digital content to Handshake event/job listings or organization bio. 

Temple University develops strong partnerships with employers but also recognizes that some industries utilize third-party agencies. We approve postings for internal job opportunities at most agencies. Temple University reserves the right to deny Handshake access to any third-party firm at any time. 

Temple University adheres to federal law regarding marijuana. Employers whose primary business is in the cannabis industry are not permitted to post jobs in the Handshake platform, or otherwise recruit on campus.
