This Handshake help article on How to Set a Schedule for a Fair can help guide you through the process.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellations will be accepted if notification is sent via email by April 1 to Career Services Coordinator Jillian Clark at jc4498@drexel.edu, and a full refund will be provided.
Please note: Employers that fail to create a schedule for Virtual Fair days by April 1, prior to the opening of student registration, are at a disadvantage as this results in less student sign-ups for the organization. Employers without a schedule created by April 1 at 5 p.m. ET will have their registration declined with the expectation of 50% payment and will not be permitted to participate in the event.
