We ask that you disseminate the W-9 form only to the individual(s) responsible for the payment of your school’s registration for the Job Fair.
Please inform your students that all job fair participants must be fully vaccinated and present a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of the fair. Medical and religious exemptions will be considered.
Please note: Only one liaison from each school should register as the point person for the fair. If you registered for last year’s fair, you must re-register for this year’s fair, though you may use the same login information. Also, please inform your students who your school’s liaison is so they can enter that person’s name as they register. Many students have entered the incorrect name, n/a, or CCBA as the liaison.
Although your payment must be submitted prior to the actual job fair, your students can register as soon as you sign up on Symplicity. They do not have to wait until the payment is submitted.
