CONTACTING THE DEPARTMENT OR FACULTY IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED. If you are informed of availability before being extended an offer in VSLO, please be aware that Faculty, Clerkship Directors, and Staff are not necessarily aware of availability. Without an Official Offer extended to you via VSLO by our Office, you may not receive credit for your rotation even if you received a verbal/written offer from a program.

UPON BEING EXTENDED AN OFFER, you have two weeks from the date of notification to accept or decline the offer in VSLO. If no response is received by 5 P.M. EST on the expiration date, the offer will expire in VSLO. Please check your email and pay the $125.00 deposit. Information will be in the acceptance offer email. 

REMEMBER, AN OFFER IS ONLY VALID IF IT IS MADE IN VSLO. If a Visiting Student wishes to receive credit for an Elective, then the offer if a Visiting Rotation needs to be generated by our Office using VSLO. Arrangements made outside of our office will result in a student not being enrolled and not being provided with a Final Evaluation.
