Current Students / New Graduates
Any student with a "@geneseo.edu" email already has a Handshake account. New graduates will retain your Geneseo email for 6 months (2020 Graduates: 1 yr).
Login using your Geneseo email, then click "forgot password" to prompt an email where you can personalize your password. Current students MUST use a geneseo.edu email. New graduates can manage personal email address preference from the accounts tab (upper right corner).
