What if I signed up for the wrong account type?

If you accidentally created an employer account but you’re actually a student or alum, this can be fixed.

Option 1: Create your student/alumni account

You can still create a student/alumni account using the same email address you used for your employer account.

1. Log out of Handshake (if you’re signed in).
2. Go to the student sign-up page: https://app.joinhandshake.com/register
3. Enter the same email address and follow the prompts to create your student/alumni account.

Tip: If you get a message that your email is already in use, open an incognito/private browsing window and try signing up again.

For detailed steps, refer to Getting Started with Handshake

Option 2: Remove an employer account you don’t need

If you do not need the employer account at all, you can request that it be removed. Let us know the email address you used for the employer account. 

We can  help remove the unnecessary employer account so you can just use your student/alumni account going forward.
