Handshake helps you connect with professional success! All UNH students have an account created for them upon enrollment at the university. This account can be accessed through UNH's unique link using the button below.
Handshake is UNH's one-stop-shop to:
- Search and apply for full-time jobs and internships
- Schedule an appointment with your college's Career and Professional Success team to discuss your career documents (resumé, cover letters, etc.), job/internship search process, and much more
- Learn about and attend career success events, programming, professional development opportunities, and recruiting events
An account will be created for you before the start of the fall semester. Please do not request an account over the summer. Email caps@unh.edu with any questions.
- For alumni who graduated after 2013 and still have access to their UNH email (@unh.edu, @wildcats.unh.edu, @usnh.edu), your Handshake account can be accessed via single sign on here: unh.joinhandshake.com/login
- If you no longer have access to your UNH email or graduated before 2013, you will need to request a Handshake account here: unhcaps.info/requesthandshakeaccount.
- Select I am a UNH Alumni and complete the form in its entirety so our team can create a Handshake account on your behalf. Please note, any Handshake account requests via Handshake without a completed form will be denied.
