Once a Blue Hen, always a Blue Hen. 

If you’re graduating this spring, congratulations! We hope you reflect on your time at the University of Delaware with pride. UD is here for you, even after you cross the stage in a few weeks. Below is a list of several services you can take advantage of this summer, plus ways to access alumni resources:

• Want to keep free access to job and internship postings through your Handshake account? You’ll first need to create an alumni account following these steps below: 
  • Go to udel.joinhandshake.com/login.
  • Enter your udel.edu email address (username@udel.edu)
  • Select University of Delaware Alumni or Log in Using Email and Password.
  • Select Forgot Your Password to reset your password. Handshake will send you an email with a link to reset your password. Follow the prompts and you will have access to everything in Handshake that you developed and enjoyed during your time as a student!

• The University Health Insurance Plan is active until Thursday, August 14.
• All wellbeing services, including appointments via Student Health Services and Center for Counseling & Student Development, are available to recent graduates until Sunday, June 15. Visit the Student Wellbeing website for details.
• The virtual counseling app TimelyCare is available for students 60 days after graduation. If you’re returning home or relocating for employment and looking for a provider, reach out to CCSD Care Coordination services for assistance. If you plan on attending graduate school outside of UD, CCSD encourages you to reach out to the counseling center of your receiving institution to get connected early to their resources.
• CCSD also has a new service called "Single Session” which is a drop-in counseling session. Students can meet directly with a licensed professional to chat about a specific concern or stressor to get support, resources, coping skills and problem solving strategies. To access this, just walk in during business hours.
• UD Recreation alumni memberships are available for recent graduates after graduation once degrees are confirmed. Learn more online and purchase a membership.
• As a member of the UD Alumni Association, you’re eligible to receive benefits including credit cards and banking services, season ticket discounts, a free subscription to UD Magazine and more. Check out the full list of alumni benefits.
• Register for your first Alumni Weekend, June 6–8. Celebrate your new status as a graduate with a weekend full of Blue Hens from all class years. Enjoy live music, food and UDairy ice cream, tents on The Green, photo booths, lawn games and much more.

Congratulations again on your outstanding achievement! Please know that the University is always here for you as you embark on your post-graduate journey.
