You may register additional representatives for a fee of $70 per person until the deadline. Companies will be charged $100 per person for any rep that attends the career fair and is not pre-registered.  For information on splitting shifts, please see below. We request you have no more than five representatives at a table at any given time due to space limitations.

  • Splitting Shifts

  • Employer representatives may choose to split shifts throughout the day. However, only the number of registered reps will be provided with meal tickets and parking vouchers. If an employer wishes to split shifts among multiple staff members, every staff member must be registered and paid for. The Career Center will bill employers after the Career Fair for additional representatives that show up the day of the event. Additional meal tickets and parking vouchers will NOT be available for purchase the day of the fair. If additional reps would like to have meals provided and receive a parking voucher, those representatives need to be registered in GoldPASS prior to the fair.

  • Parking

  • Employer representatives who are registered for the career fair should park in the following lots in the order they are listed (if a lot is full, please go to the next lot on the list). It is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the Career Fair entrance, so we encourage you to drop off your materials at the loading dock if you would like assistance.

If students need to apply for your positions directly through your organization, GoldPASS allows you to specify that.
