Deadlines & Cancellation Policy
Advantage Expo advance order deadline: September 1, 2023
Cancellation deadline: September 1, 2023
Payment deadline: September 1, 2023
You may cancel your registration before Friday, September 1, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET to receive a full refund and not owe a fair registration balance. All cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to smithcareerfair@umd.edu. Failure to cancel in writing by the cancellation deadline will leave the employer responsible for the registration fee, regardless of circumstances.
All other cancellations made after this deadline – including cancellations made by employers who register after the cancellation deadline – will still be billed and no refund will be administered. Employers who register and do not show up to the fair will also remain responsible for payment.

The College Park Marriott has overnight accommodations, and there are many other hotels available near campus.
Inclement Weather Policy
Should the event be canceled due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, credit will be given for a future fair.
