Important: Your internship company/organization must be approved in Handshake. If they are not yet approved, the Career Center will contact your employer regarding the Handshake registration and approval process.
The Career Center will review your application for completeness and accuracy.
- If there are questions about your Required Employer Information or if any information is missing/unclear, the Career Center will reach out to your employer to obtain additional details/information.
