Editing permissions
By event format
Off-campus and virtual events: These can only be edited by the employer.
On-campus events: These can be edited by both the employer and the host school.
By employer account type and permissions
-
Basic employers: Owners and Recruiters can edit only the events they have personally created. Events created by other teammates will appear on your list but are view-only.

Editing an event
1. Click Events from the left navigation bar in Handshake, then select the event you want to edit from the table.
Tip: Click the white button Include past events in the header and uncheck the box to the left of "Include past events" to filter out past events.
2. Click the More options menu (three-dot icon) in the top-right corner of the page, then select Edit event.
3. On the edit page, make desired changes as allowed. Fields that cannot be edited will be disabled and appear grayed out.
- For on-campus or off-campus events that have already been approved, changing the event type, date, time, or registration limit will require the event to be re-approved.
Note: The event format (i.e., where the event is being held) cannot be changed once students have RSVP’d.
