You may need to experience Handshake from a particular student's perspective to:
- Troubleshoot issues that a student brings to your attention.
- Check any postings, fairs, events, etc. that you've posted.
1. Click Manage on the left navigation bar, under the Students category.
2. Type the student's name in the search bar on the page, located under the Manage Students page heading and to the left of the blue Search button.
3. Click on the student's name to open their profile.
4. Locate the Actions section, on the right side of the page under Labels, then click View As This User.
When viewing as a particular student, you'll have access to most Handshake content from their perspective.
Note: There are certain fields on the student profile that you will not be able to either access or edit. These can only be accessed/edited by the student themselves:
- Work Authorization settings
- Viewing additional email addresses that the student added
- Accessing or editing a student's profile picture
- Editing the "get to know me" section
- Accessing their inbox
- Accessing their interactions with Coco
- Editing a student's institution email address
- If the student's account is connected to a career services or employer account, you will need to contact Handshake Support to change their institution email address.
Once you are finished, click the blue Normal View button, located in the upper-right corner of the screen to return to your account.
