How to Edit Education Information on Your Profile

As a student, you may need to change your course, university level (ie first year, second year) or other education information within Handshake. Some institutions have restricted these fields to be updated only by the automatic student data feed from the registrar's office. Other institutions allow students to update these fields directly in the system. To determine if you are able to change your primary education information:

1. Select the drop down menu under your name and choose View Profile

2. Hover to the right of Primary Education and a pencil icon will appear. Select this pencil.

3. A list of fields will expand under Education - if any of the fields are a dark grey, that marks a locked field and you will not be able to edit that value. For example, on the profile below the Institution Name cannot be edited by the student, whereas the other fields can. Make your necessary updates and click save in the bottom right corner.

4. If you cannot make any updates to these fields, notify your career services department of the change.
