When Do Students Gain Access? Who Gains Access?
Degree-seeking students, PSEO students, and alumni from all five campuses gain access to Handshake shortly after matriculation. *Post-docs do not have access unless they are in a traineeship and not classified as an employee. They usually have one of these academic plans: three academic plan codes associated with their employer ID: 071800008, 0041PRD18, or 0718PRD08.

In the case of a student death, report it to CSA. They will report it to Ben Sietsema. As soon as the date of death (DOD) is logged in PeopleSoft, the student record will be removed from the nightly data sync. In the meantime, go to a students profile and change their notification settings so that no more email or push notifications are sent out. You can do this by 'viewing the profile as the user.' Don’t archive and 'exclude their profile from sync', because their profile wouldn't be deleted in that case.

Organize your students with labels
Organize your students with labels
Labels allow you to organize your students based on custom groupings for data collection, email outreach, and building resume packets. You can label students by cohort, demographic, major, etc. Learn more about labels.
*Note, you will want to create 'normal' labels for students. There are three different types of labels: normal, public, and system. System labels are only for IT purposes. Public labels can be seen by students. Normal labels can only be seen by staff.
System-wide labels
System-wide labels
We also have two normal labels used by all colleges:
No show - This label should be added to a student's account when they do not show up for an on-campus interview.
Resume needs revision - This label is used by offices that review student resumes. This label should be added to a student’s document review if their resume is not approved.
