If you've tried to sign up for a Handshake account, and couldn't find your institution, it's possible:
- You're using an email address other than your institution-provided one
- You'll need to sign up with your institution email address to connect you with the proper institution. We recommend double-checking the email you're signing up with.
- Your institution is currently in implementation, and hidden at the moment
- Your institution isn't partnered with Handshake
You're using an email address other than your institution-provided one
In order to be linked with your institution through Handshake, you'll need to register using your institution's email. By using your institution-provided email address, the system can help connect you to your institution instance. We recommend double-checking the email you're signing up with.
Your institution is currently in implementation, and hidden at the moment
If your institution is partnered with us and in implementation, you'll need to wait until they are completely setup and live on the platform before creating your Handshake account. Your Career Services centre will typically send out an invite once they are ready!
Your institution isn't partnered with Handshake
Some institutions may not be a Handshake partner. If you're signing up with your institution email, and you're still not finding your institution on the list, click the link Continue without an institution to start the registration process without being affiliated with an institution.
Handshake is currently available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
