You may not be able to attend an event that you previously registered for. Handshake offers the option to unregister for an event that you will no longer be participating in.
Depending on how you registered for the event, follow the steps below to cancel your event registration.
- Directly in Handshake
- Through an employers external link
- if you're not sure how you registered, start with "Directly in Handshake"!
Directly in Handshake
If you registered for the event in app, you can unregister for the event yourself.
1. Click Events in the upper-left corner of the Handshake homepage, to the right of Jobs.
2. All events and fairs posted to your institution will load by default. Events that you registered for are listed on the right side of the page, under Your Schedule.
3. Click the event that you would like to unregister for.
4. Below the banner, on the right side of the page, the Registered button will be greyed out – click that button anyway.
5. Once clicked, the Register button will change to dark blue and appear clickable again. This means you have successfully unregistered for the event! Once you leave an event, the event will no longer be listed under the Your Schedule section.
Note: if the button does not turn dark blue, and remains grey and unclickable, or if you received the message "Redirecting to external event link shortly..." when attempting to unregister, this means the event host used an external registration link for the event. Follow the process below in the next section to unregister.
Through an employers external link
If you received the message "Redirecting to external event link shortly..." when attempting to unregister for the event, or you know that you registered with an external link, you will need to confirm whether the event is being hosted by your institution or an employer.
The best way to confirm this is to navigate to the event page - the host will be displayed underneath the event name.
If the event is being hosted by:
- an institution, contact the Career Services centre for assistance with cancelling the registration.
- Note: click the name of the university below the event name - the contact information is located on the right side of the page in Handshake.
- an employer, contact the Handshake Support Team by submitting a ticket to unregister you.
