Can I change my mind?
Answer

Once a final decision is made on the application, including the leaving date, the individual will be advised of the outcome in writing and made a formal offer of voluntary severance.

Employees who decide to proceed with voluntary severance will be required to enter into a Settlement Agreement with the University, which will set out the financial and other terms under which the employment relationship will end. At this point, the agreement becomes legally binding.
