Access Handshake

For Students and Alumni

Career Services is excited to bring this new system to students and alumni of Saint Leo University and we are confident that you will like what you see and experience as the system as soon as you are enrolled.

• Currently enrolled students or new students joining Saint Leo will have a Handshake account automatically created for them by the University Technology Services team.
• To claim your Handshake account for the first time, simply log in through Saint Leo's Okta Single Sign-on page (login.saintleo.edu) using your Saint Leo credentials and then click the Handshake tile. There is no need for you to create a new password for Handshake.
• Please DO NOT sign up for a new Handshake student account. The Single Sign-On option through Okta is the only authorized login method for current students.

Accessing Handshake (Alumni Only)

• All Saint Leo University graduates will have free, lifetime access to Handshake.
• To access Handshake, please DO NOT create a new Handshake account. If you create an account on your own, you will not be synced to Saint Leo University and will be unable to see and apply for jobs or access additional alumni services.
• Instead, please email CareerServices@saintleo.edu with the following information:
  • Your First and Last Name
  • Your Saint Leo Email Address
  • Your old Student ID Number
  • The semester (or term) and year in which you graduated
• If you do not have one or more of the pieces of information above, please email us with the information you do have and we will assist you.

For additional services, resources, and programs that are available to alumni, please visit the Alumni section of our Career Services website for more details.

Note: Prospective students are not eligible for a Handshake account. For more information about what services, programs, and resources Career Services has available, email us at CareerServices@saintleo.edu or give us a call at (352) 588-8346.
