How to resolve issues with your Gator CareerLink hold

What if I am stuck at the Gator CareerLink page and can't login?

The Career Connections Center does not administer that page. You will have to call the UF Helpdesk at 352-392-HELP or for walk in assistance go to HUB 132.

What are the differences in my account vs my public account?

My Account allows you to edit your Personal, Academic, and/or Privacy preferences. Filling out the required information under "My Account" (including the policy affirmation box) will signal the release of the hold.
My Public Profile is like a LinkedIn profile and displays information contained in your “My Account” section. It is NOT required to complete the “My Public Profile” section to remove the hold.

I’VE CHECKED THE POLICY AFFIRMATION BOX AND THE HOLD IS STILL NOT LIFTED. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Email career-prep@ufl.edu stating you are unable to remove the Gator CareerLink hold. A staff member will check your account to see if there is a technical error. In most cases, your hold should be automatically removed with checking the policy affirmation box and clicking “Save.”
