We request that the registration payment be processed prior to the fair to secure your registration. If are unable to adhere to this guideline, please contact us at 202.994.8633 and let us know when you expect to make a payment.
You may pay online through our secure GWork system by Visa/MasterCard, or by check. Checks should be made payable to George Washington University and mailed to:
GW Career Center
Attn: Employer Partnerships/Fall Career Fair

We will refund your cost of registration 100% if you cancel by the 4th week before the day of the fair, 75% by the 3rd week before the fair, 50% by the 2nd week before the fair, and 25% by the week before the fair. We will not provide any refunds for any cancellations the day of the fair.
Cost of registration includes two company representatives. We want to provide you with a comfortable atmosphere, so we ask that you only bring two people due to the limited space between tables. There is a $50 fee per additional representative. This must be paid at the time of registration.
Yes! The Career Center needs to know the names of the recruiters who will be attending the fairs in advance. This way, we will be able to have personalized materials available when recruiters arrive and be able to get in contact with attending recruiters before and after the event. We will be emailing asking for the names of the attending recruiters. Please send us these names at ocr@gwu.edu or call 202.994.8633.
