Boxes need to be clearly labeled with your organization.  If your organization has more than one (1) box, please number them appropriately. Items must be received between March 27, 2024 and April 16, 2024. Packages can be received Monday-Friday from 9am – 4pm EST.  All packages will be located at your booth upon arrival.

We highly encourage you to track your packages to ensure receipt.  Due to the set-up of the event and package receipt process, we are unable to confirm if packages have been received.  We also encourage you to bring all tracking information for your packages in the case of a missing box.  

If you need packages shipped out earlier, we encourage you to take them to a local FedEx or UPS store as you leave the event. The closest locations are:

• The UPS Store (on FSU's campus): 206 S. Woodward Ave (https://locations.theupsstore.com/fl/tallahassee/206-s-woodward-ave)
• FedEx Office Print & Ship Center: 1218 N. Monore St (https://local.fedex.com/en-us/fl/tallahassee/office-2121?cmp=LOC-1001545-3-1-971-1110000-US-US-EN-GPLCOPYANDPRINT)

Each organization can use one space within the Woodward Garage.  There will be attendants directing you on where to park.  The address is 104 N Woodward Ave Tallahassee, FL 32306.  Please follow the signs to the parking garage.  Parking is nose-in parking only - you cannot back in.  A parking pass will be sent to the email of the individual who registered for the event - please place this parking pass on the dash of your vehicle, ensuring it's visible to the outside.  

Parking is first-come first-serve.  If you arrive after the event starts, you will be responsible for finding your own parking.  If you are bringing more than one car, please park the additional car(s) in visitor parking at Doak Campbell Stadium.  We also strongly encourage Uber/Lyft or other rideshare options.  

FSU Department Parking: If you are an FSU Department, please use FSU Employee Parking instead of the reserved spaces.  If you do not have a FSU parking permit, please email vandrews@fsu.edu for further instruction.  

Here are some alternative to parking in the reserved area:

1. Guest parking at Doak Campbell Stadium at the Visitor's Center (https://www.visit.fsu.edu/directions/) It is approximately $7.50/day and a 15 minute walk from the event space.
2. ParkMobile Meter/App pay by the hour spots around campus.  Rate of $1.00 per hour from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and $0.50 per hour after 4:30 p.m. These spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  You will need to download the ParkMobile app. 
3. Virtual visitor Permit through the Parking & Transportation Office for any white space that does NOT have a sign within the Traditions Garage.  These are $5.00 per day. 
   1. Visit Parking & Transportation Parking Permits and click Visitor Login (https://transportation.fsu.edu/parking-permits)
   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.

A map of campus can be found here: https://transportation.fsu.edu/maps 

The Career Center is not responsible for any parking tickets if you park in an unauthorized parking area. 

Parking pass is available here

You will be provided a 6' table with two chairs at the event.  There is approximately 6-8" of spacing between tables.  You are welcome to bring your own tablecloth, banners, signage, etc as long as they fit into your booth.  You can request a complimentary black tablecloth for your table in your registration. 

In order to protect our new Student Union, we ask that you help us follow a couple of rules:

• No glitter
• No helium balloons (even if they are weighed/tied down)
• Help protect the floors - if you are using metal stands, please also use something like felt to help protect the floors. 

Career Center staff may have you alter/remove items if they are found to be breaking these rules. 

Each registration comes with two representatives.  The last day to add/modify any add-on's (electricity, additional reps, dietary requests for meals, etc) for the Final Spring Career Fair is March 27, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.  Please note: electricity will not be available for purchase at the event. 

As a reminder, lunch is not provided for this event.  The Student Union has several dining options: Starbucks, Proof, Pollo Tropical, Panera, Brooklyn Pizza, and the Trading Post.  The fair does not shut down, so we recommend rotating representatives or eating before/after the fair.

The last day to cancel any part of your registration (full or add-ons) and receive are fund will be March 27, 2024 by 5:00 PM EST. If you register after this deadline, you will not be eligible for a refund. Any cancellations or changes to your registration after this time will not receive a refund or transfer to another event.  All cancellations must be in writing, submitted to Tori Andrews at vandrews@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 a credit towards registration to a future event or a refund, which will be 75% of the registration fee.
