University Technical Support Guidelines and Resources

Tawnya
  • Updated

To ensure the success for all University partners, we've updated our University Technical Support guidelines and resources. 

Technical Documentation and Resources

Please refer to the Importer and IT Docs segments of our Help Center for information on SSO, Student Sync, Importer, associated errors, and best practices. Documentation includes our SSO setup guide, SAML/LDAP/CAS guides, and Student Sync Setup. Feel free to share these resources with your IT team as well.

If you would like to request access to our API, please submit your request here.

Note:

  • We will only allow API access to our Career Services partners at this time.
  • Our API is in an 'as-is' state at this time - meaning, no changes/updates will be made to the API in the near future (based on product requests, etc). If you are interested in learning more about how other institutions have utilized the API, you can post/share your thoughts and questions in our IT community forums here.
  • Our API IP Address is subject to change at any given time, so we do not recommend the use of an allowlist for unblocking specific IP addresses with our API.
