When you accept a co-op or internship job offer:
Congratulations! Here's what to do:
	Accept the offer in writing if you haven't already done so. Sometimes the employer provides you with a letter to sign and that constitutes your written acceptance.

	Immediately cancel any other interviews and cease all efforts to search for co-op / internship employment. If you have another offer you'll need to decline it. Explain that your reason is that you have accepted another offer; that is the appropriate, professional and ethical thing to do.
	For help see:
	Accepting an offer and withdrawing from the job search
	Declining a job offer
	See what to do and when for your next steps.
