College Fairs

College Fair Guidelines

A salaried staff member or a trained volunteer must represent the institution at the fair.
- Admission requirements and deadlines should be stated accurately.
- Precise information about costs, financial aid opportunities, housing opportunities and deposits should be readily available
- Pictures and description of the campus(es) should be current and realistic
- Descriptions of special programs (i.e. support services for learning disabilities, overseas study, AP credits, honors programs, etc.) should be accurate and specific.
The following materials are NOT to be distributed at the fair: bumper stickers, buttons, pennants, pens, pencils, posters, candy, T-shirts or other gimmicks. Appropriate giveaway items include fact sheets, brochures and catalogs describing an institution and its programs.
Visual aids and audio equipment are NOT permitted unless the college fair organizer gives permission. Displays may not exceed 18" in height and 40" in width.
All interactions must be confined to each institution’s area and from behind the table on the part of the representative.
Any transactions involving an exchange of monies are prohibited, as are drawings, contests or lotteries of any kind.
It is the responsibility of the college representatives to monitor their own table area. Students should complete information cards on the designated table of the institution in which they are interested, not spread out to other institutions’ tables.
Representatives should speak only of their own institution and not speak negatively of other institutions.
Representatives are expected to remain at the fair until its stated end, or the college fair organizer states that the fair is over.
Any problems that arise should be directed to the attention of the college fair organizer at the fair.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in not being invited to attend future college fairs.
