Employer registrations are reviewed on a rolling basis and approved based on industry representation and alignment with programs. Employers may be placed on a waitlist while CaPS evaluates industry balance and student demand. While employers may request attendance on specific industry days, final placement is determined by CaPS. An employer’s industry designation in Handshake will determine the default fair date, with adjustments made by the CaPS event team as needed.

Organizations must have relevant job or internship opportunities aligned with the majors and programs identified in their registration for approval. Employers are required to post at least one (1) position in Handshake available for students, in accordance with CaPS policies. Position(s) must be posted two (2) weeks prior to the date of the fair. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation of your fair registration.  A written notice will be sent to the registrant’s email address.

Please see the Important Dates Section for the Payment and Refund Deadlines for Career & Internship Fairs. 

• Registrations are approved on a case-by-case basis. Once you are approved, you will receive an invoice with a payment link to pay via credit card or option to pay with a check.   

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express are accepted. 

1. Navigate to your registration page by clicking 'PAY HERE' on the bottom of your invoice OR in Handshake by visiting the  > clicking on the green Registered button > and selecting View Registration from the dropdown menu.
2. Click the green Pay Now button on the left-hand side of your fair registration, under the Payments sections.
3. A secure payment portal hosted by Stripe will open where you can enter your credit card information and submit your payment.
4. You will receive an emailed confirmation from Handshake if your payment is received*

*If you do not receive a payment confirmation email in a timely manner, please reach out to employer.relations@unh.edu to verify your payment has been processed and to obtain a receipt, if needed. If you are redirected to Handshake without a confirmation screen, your payment was NOT processed and likely declined due to an incorrect billing address.

• Make the check payable to UNH Career and Professional Success
• Mail your payment to:

ATTN: Employer Relations
UNH Career and Professional Success- Hood House 208
89 Main Street
Durham, NH 03824

• Important: Please mail check to this specific address to ensure it does not end up at another department on campus. (UNH has many administrative offices)
• Failure to pay in a timely manner will result in revocation of on-campus and virtual recruitment privileges including Handshake events, interviews, tabling, and tours.

Payment is due by 4:00 p.m., 5 business days prior to the event. Employers with unpaid balances after this deadline are considered overdue. Employers who do not communicate cancellations or non-attendance will be treated as confirmed attendees and remain responsible for full payment regardless of attendance. Outstanding balances remaining at the end of the semester may be referred to collections, and employers will be restricted from future on-campus recruiting activities until payment is received in full. Late fees may apply.

If you must cancel, please do so IN WRITING to employer.relations@unh.edu. Refunds are available until 4:00 p.m., 7 business days prior to the event. Credit card payments will be refunded minus applicable processing fees (up to 3%). Cancellations made after this deadline remain fully payable. Employers who do not attend without prior cancellation will be considered no-shows and are responsible for the full balance, which cannot be applied to future events. Outstanding balances must be paid before registering for future fairs.

Career and Professional Success follows the University’s curtailed operations policy. Refunds will only be issued if the original event date is canceled. If an event is rescheduled, employers unable to attend the new date may request a full refund. We reserve the right to adjust and change the event to a virtual program. If any decision is made to switch the event’s date or format, employers will be notified as soon as possible via email from employer.relations@unh.edu, on the unh.edu/career website, and in Handshake.

The Career & Internship Fair maintains a “carry in-carry out” policy with all of employer materials. We will not accept shipments of booths, displays, or marketing items in advance of the fair, nor are we responsible for shipping any items out for organizations following the fair. All career fair materials must arrive and leave with representatives at the end of the event.

Sustainable Swag Policy

The �鶹app is platinum sustainability rated from STARS (the highest possible under the AASHE’s rating system) and committed to sustainability in all forms of our operations. This policy, using the UNH Marketing and Communications guidelines, is designed to support employers in selecting promotional products that align with the University’s commitment to sustainability. The policy helps to reduce waste by prioritizing responsibly sourced materials, ethical production practices, and long-lasting items.

Many employers offer free “swag” to encourage engagement and connection at career fairs and events. Common items include T-shirts, water bottles, trinkets, and stickers. While these giveaways are well-intentioned, a significant portion is discarded shortly after being received or during student move-out periods—an issue reflected each semester through UNH's move-in/move-out student swap "Trash 2 Treasure."

To reduce unnecessary waste and promote more responsible choices, we encourage our employers to pause and ask: “Do I really need this? Is this compelling to students for recruitment purposes?”. Thoughtful consideration before distributing swag can make a meaningful difference.

To encourage you to think about your impact before bringing items to campus, review the Hierarchy of Swag:

Be a hero, do nothing!

At the very top is Level 1, where there’s no physical items at all. In this case, the professional connection with students itself becomes the experience they remember, whether that’s a new LinkedIn connection, a job or internship position to apply for, an invitation to interview, or the knowledge about your organization they walk away with.

Don't get physical.

Next up is level 2, where an item is still shared but doesn’t necessarily create long-term physical waste. This could be something temporary or consumable; think: coffee vouchers, locally sourced goods, donations to their choice of non-profit, experience raffle, and more.

Be mindful!  

Then we move into Level 3, with a focus on items that are functional, responsibly produced, and designed to last: The golden standard for sustainable swag. These items provide real everyday value, rather than becoming clutter overtime.

Just don't.   

And finally, at the bottom is Level 4, which represents the types of swag we try to avoid. Low-quality, disposable, or unlikely to be used are all traits of products that often end up forgotten in drawers or eventually in the landfill.

If it is determined that swag is required, use the following prompts to consider sustainable swag.

Is it functional?

One of the most important considerations is functionality. Is this something people will actually use in their everyday lives? Because when swag serves a practical purpose, it naturally provides ongoing value, not an item sitting around collecting dust.

Consider durability

If an item is made from high-quality, long-lasting materials, people are more likely to use it overtime. That longevity plays a pivotal role in reducing waste while avoiding the need to cyclically replace items based on trends or low-quality.

Locality

Keep in mind where that product is coming from. Sourcing from local or regional vendors encourages more transparent and responsible production practices. Embrace New Hampshire!

• Use digital tablet devices or a single sign-up sheet to collect student information for digital follow up.
• If planning to provide more information consider handing out business cards with contact information.
• Use Handshake Employer Booth Check-In Codes to collect student info and offer raffles.

Our career fairs are public events that support free speech and open dialogue. While we strive to maintain a welcoming environment, peaceful demonstrations may occur near the event. All demonstrations must follow university policies and may not disrupt scheduled activities or interfere with attendees’ participation. 

The safety and well-being of all participants remain our top priority. We work closely with campus partners, including leadership, public safety and student affairs, to ensure a secure and respectful environment. If campus officials become aware of potential demonstrations, timely updates will be shared with attendees, and additional support as needed.

Should you have any concerns or require assistance during the event, please do not hesitate to contact our staff on-site. We are committed to supporting both employers and students in fostering meaningful and safe interactions.
