If Your Major (or Minor) is Missing or Incorrect

  • Updated
Having your major added to your profile is an important component of Handshake! Employers often use majors to connect with students of interest to offer job opportunities as well as event invites. Career services users may also use majors as a requirement to attend appointments, events, or fairs.
  • If your school pre-created an account for you, your major, and minor will be uploaded to your profile. This is usually added from data provided by your school registrar. 
  • If you created an account yourself, you received the option to add a major yourself during the account creation process. 
If the pre-loaded information is incorrect, needs to be updated, or if it's missing completely, you'll need to contact your school's Career Center to correct it. This will ensure that the data your school has on file is accurate, and that your information doesn't revert in Handshake.
Refer to How to Locate your School’s Contact Information in Handshake for outlined steps on how to connect with your school's Career Center.
