Reminders

Dear Juniors and Seniors,

We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interview-ing and resume referrals.

To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login and take advantage of these great services.

Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink?

The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and sen-ior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.

I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have ac-cess?

SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ cred-its each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next semester after the census date.

If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
