Here are some alternative to parking in the reserved area:

    2. You will create a guest account.  Complete the steps to register, get permit, and enter your vehicle information. 

* Note: the last two options get very busy with student parking, so spaces may be harder to find.

Cancelation, No-Show, and Refund Policy

The last day to cancel any part of your registration (full or add-ons) and receive a refund will be September 24, 2024 by 5:00 PM EST. If you register after this deadline, you will not be eligible for a refund. Any cancelations or changes to your registration after this time will not receive a refund or transfer to another event.  All cancelations must be in writing, submitted to Tiffany Leung at tleung@fsu.edu.

Registered organizations who fail to show up at the event will still be charged for the event. Career fair "no-shows" are not entitled to transfers or refunds at any time. This is also applicable to virtual fair "no-shows." No-shows forfeit their entire registration fee and materials and are not eligible to roll the registration package over to another event. Outstanding bills from previous events will prevent employers from participating in future career fairs.

 

IN CASE OF EVENT CANCELLATION:  If a catastrophic event (extreme weather conditions, cancellations due to COVID restrictions, or other similar circumstances) occurs and the University is closed, the event will be cancelled or rescheduled.  Should the event not be rescheduled or an employer is unable to attend on the new date, the organization may request, in writing, a refund, which will be 50% of the registration fee.
