If you do not have an account with the email you entered, you will need to sign up by clicking "I'm a student or Alumni".

You'll need to fill out some basic information to create your account: 

• Select your institution from the dropdown menu. If your institution is not listed, you can check the box to type your own.
• First name
• Last name
• Email address (use your .ac.uk account if you still have access to it!)

If you aren't registering with a .ac.uk email address, a career services staff member will need to approve your account before you will gain access to Handshake.
