How do I create a student account?

If you are an enrolled WMU student, your Handshake account should have been created automatically. Visit https://wmich.joinhandshake.com and click on the "WMU Student Login" link under the blue "Continue" button.  Use your Bronco NetID and current password to sign in.

If you have trouble, make sure your Bronco NetID and password are working for your GoWMU login and/or Webmail + login. If neither of those are working, call the Office of Information Technology at (269) 387-4357 and select Option 1. 

Remember to update your profile at least once a semester: 

• Update your GPA as it changes - this field does not update automatically. Some employers set GPA requirements, and having an updated GPA on your account will allow you access to the opportunities for which you qualify. 
• Replace old documents with new versions - this includes your resume, cover letter, etc - as you improve them and add new experiences. You want employers to see the best version with your most recent experiences. For help with your resume, cover letter, and other documents, visit our office. 
• Add new information under the "Extracurriculars," "Projects," "External Links," "Courses," "Organizations," and "Skills" sections of your Handshake profile. Employers search for students using those criteria, so make sure you end up in their results.

If you have questions about how to improve your Handshake profile and improve your documents, please visit our office or contact us at (269) 387-2745 or broncojobs@wmich.edu.
