1. Registration and Payment for Oregon State University Career Fairs and Events

• Submission of the registration form by an employer for any Oregon State University career fair or event is considered a reservation and an agreement to full payment of fair or event costs. Upon submission of a registration form through Handshake, registered employers will receive an email “receipt of registration/reservation” message with an invoice. Full payments must be received no later than 10 days prior to the date of the fair or event to hold your reservation. Failure to pay by at least 10 days prior to the event may result in your organization being removed from the fair and placed on the employer waiting list. Your attendance at the fair is not fully confirmed until the Career Development Center has received payment. All registration requests are subject to our employer use policy. Please review all employer policies before your visit to campus.

• Government agencies and other non-profit organizations with payment restrictions are exempt from the requirement to pay prior to the event. Payment for these registrants is due no later than 30 days after the fair or event for which the employer has registered. 

• The Career Development Center accepts checks, VISA, Mastercard, and Discover.  

2. Full Refund Requirements

For a full refund of registrations fees, the Career Development Center must receive via email a written cancellation notice. This cancellation notice must be received by the Center no less than 10 business days prior to the fair or event for which the employer registered. 

3. Late Cancellation Fee

There will be a $150 late fee for cancellations less than 10 business days before the fair or event for which the employer has registered. 

4. No Show Policy

If an employer registers and is confirmed but does not attend the career fair or event and has not given written cancellation notice at least 10 business days prior to the fair, the employer is responsible for payment of the full registration fee.

5. Late Payment Fee

Payments not received within a 30-day period after the date of the fair or event will incur an additional late payment fee of $50.00.
