Keep Your Access to Handshake

Steps to Add A Second Email – Handshake Article for a Visual Step by Step
- Log into your Student Handshake account.
- Locate your Account in the top-right corner (Circle icon with initials or your photo)
- Click Settings. On the page that loads, scroll down to the bottom of the Account Information section to “Emails” and click on + Add another email.
- Once you enter the alternative email into the text box, click “Add Email” at the right.
- You have seven days from adding the email to confirm it via a Handshake email.
Tip: If the confirmation email isn’t appearing as expected, check out this article for steps on troubleshooting missing confirmation emails.
