NYSACAC INVITATION AGREEMENTS
FOR PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS

The following are the recommended practices for college representatives participating in college fair programs:

  • Receipt of the College Fair Directory information does NOT imply an invitation has been issued from each host institution. You should NOT ATTEND unless your college HAS BEEN INVITED! If you wish to attend any of the programs, please contact the official host and request an invitation.
  • Letters of invitation should be acknowledged as soon as possible. If your college accepts the invitation, the host school would appreciate having the name and title of the representative. If you accept the invitation, you are expected to attend. Should it become necessary for you to cancel, please notify the host school immediately.
  • Your PROMPT ARRIVAL at host institutions is imperative; please REMAIN UNTIL THE CLOSE of the program.
  • NYSACAC endorses NACAC’s Principles of Good Practice end of this and discourages the distribution of non-academic recruitment materials, such as: shopping bags, calendars, bumper stickers, buttons, pennants, pens & pencils, posters or advertising gimmicks. NYSACAC encourages the distribution of brochures describing an institution and its programs, catalogs, and other items containing factual information. Institutions wishing to use electrical equipment should request, in advance, a separate room or area for their presentation.
  • It is the responsibility of every college or university to inform each of their own staff members attending a New York State college fair of this agreement.
  • Questions or concerns about college fair programs can be directed to the College Fair Committee Co-Chairs:
