Setting Up Students to Agree to Your Terms of Service

Tawnya
  • Updated
We currently do not have a way to completely block students from accessing Handshake without agreeing to an additional terms of service for your office, but we have a few options that you might want to consider:
 

Survey with completion label

1. Create a survey

2. Mark the survey as required - this will display the survey as required when the student goes to the Surveys page (also discoverable via clicking on Career Centre, then Surveys)Required_Surveys_Page_for_Students.png

3. Create a label - e.g. "reviewed ToS"

4. Add that as a completion label to the survey- this will mark any student who takes the survey with that label

5. Once the survey is published, you can either create a Targeted Email and add the survey through Handshake Content, or you can invite students directly from the survey. 

6. After a period of time, you can then filter on the label in the Manage Students tab using the "not label" filter and send a targeted email to students who have not yet agreed to the your institution-specific policy

  • Best Practice: use the preferred method of delivery each semester to capture newly imported/created students and ensure compliance!

Resource article

1. Add the information in a resource article

2. Pin the resource article to the student dashboard - this will display in the "suggested by your institution" section in the student view

 

External disclosure

If you have a dedicated portion of your university website pointing to the Handshake login or any "about" information we always recommend adding this information there, too!
