At the Time of Your Appointment

In-person: Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment. Be sure to double check the location of your appointment in your confirmation email from Handshake. Career Consultants may be taking appointments from multiple offices throughout the week.

Virtual: The Zoom link for your appointment can be found in the confirmation email from Handshake.

Canceling or Rescheduling Your Appointment

• To cancel an appointment, go to ‘Appointments’. Click on the appointment, then click the red ‘Cancel’ button. Feel free to leave a message for the Career Consultant if applicable.
• To reschedule an appointment, you will first need to cancel your existing appointment and then schedule a new one.
• If you need to switch formats (virtual or in-person) after scheduling your appointment, please email the Career Consultant directly.

Double-Booking Policy

Handshake does not allow students to book a second appointment prior to completing a first appointment. This is to ensure that all students have equitable access to our services. If you believe you need more than your scheduled appointment, you may request one with the staff member you are working with or submit a request to careerservices@uidaho.edu.
