Access SIGI Plus by using your University password and username.

SIGI Plus is an on-line career assessment tool designed to help you:

• Conduct in-depth self-assessment.
• Make informed career decisions.
• Obtain up-to-date occupational information.
• Set career goals and plan next steps.

The SIGI Plus system is divided into nine sections. Each section is related to a stage in making a career decision. You can go through the entire program or just the steps needed. The program will save the answers so that you may return to it at any time.

Any frame of SIGI Plus may be printed, but the program encourages you to print certain summary frames. It is probably a good idea to print these. You may want to bring them when you meet with a career consultant or an advisor.
