Handshake Student Use Policies
When you schedule an interview or accept a position offer from an employer, it’s important to honor your commitment, and not rescind. Failure to follow-through on an interview or accepted offer may hurt your standing with employers in the future, and may result in the loss of Handshake account access for a period of time.
