How to access Career Connect

Students

Current students can access Career Connect directly once logged into MUSE, with no need to register for an account.

Graduates

Once you are unable to access MUSE, typically a few days after graduation, you will need to access Career Connect as a graduate. This is done in one of two ways; please follow the appropriate instructions:

(1) If you have already changed your email address to a personal email address (within Career Connect):

• Visit the ‘Forgotten your password?’ page and enter your email address.
• You will then receive an email asking you to set your password.
• Follow the instructions in the email to sign in.

 (2) If you have not previously updated your email address:

• Visit the ‘Register’ page, and enter your details on the form including your student registration number in the ‘student ID’ field – this will help speed up the approval process. A member of staff will then review and approve your registration (please note this can take up to 5 working days). 
• You will receive an email asking you to sign in and set a password. The system will carry over your history and settings from when you were a student. You can then continue to use Career Connect as before. 

NOTE: If you are a current student, please do not try to register as a graduate if you still have access to MUSE as we will be unable to approve your account. Simply continue to use Career Connect through MUSE until you no longer have access to University systems.
