Information for Incoming Students

Welcome to the University of Nebraska – Lincoln!

Career Services is excited to help you with the next step in your story. As a new student, there are several action steps we recommend you take before or as you arrive at UNL:

STEP 1: Finish Enrolling For Classes

Your first step to becoming a Husker is attending New Student Enrollment (NSE), which is a two-part process, orientation and academic advising/course enrollment! Within a few days of completing the academic advising/course enrollment requirement, you will have access to all of your University resources, which includes Handshake!

STEP 2: Log In & Claim Your Handshake Account

Handshake is the place for students of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to engage with employers and search/apply for internships, co-ops, part/full-time jobs, work study, and campus employment. As a student, you are already granted a Handshake account. Once you’ve completed the step above and allow the University a few days to process your enrollment, you’ll just need to log-in with your My.UNL log-in to get access to thousands of job opportunities and employers all over the world!

Welcome to Handshake at UNL!

STEP 3: Connect to Career Resources & Career Coaching

A Career Coach can assist with career exploration, part-time job searches on and off campus, resume support, and career development resources. You can also utilize a large selection of career development resources on the Career Services website.
