On the Notification Preferences page, review your notification settings for each category. Additionally, any job alerts you've set will be displayed at the top of the page.

💡Note: Some of the selections are selected by default. To learn more about default settings and see a full list of available notifications, refer to Default Notification Preferences for Students.

To customize your notifications, click on the dropdown option to check or uncheck each option based on how you want to receive them:

  • Email Notifications: Sent to the email address linked to your Handshake account.

  • In-App Notifications: Accessible within Handshake by clicking the bell icon to the left of your account icon.

  • Push Notifications: Available only in the Handshake mobile app.
