Reminder
Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors ac-
cess 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 interviewing 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 senior ma-
jors 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 access?
SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ credits 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] .
