Vehicle Policy

Indicate on your registration form if you are planning on bringing a vehicle. You will be sent a detailed email with instructions along with a form that requires your signature acknowledging the information below: 

• Vehicles are only permitted in booths at Fall and Spring Career Days.
• The number of booths that are permitted to house vehicles are limited to a certain area of the fair, as per BJC policies. We can only accommodate vehicles in those booths (specific booth requests may not be accommodated).
• When bringing a vehicle to a Penn State Career Fair, you must purchase enough booths to accommodate the vehicle in addition to the booth representatives. Booth space is approximately 8’ x 8’. At least 1-2 extra booths will be required when bringing a vehicle. A reduced rate of $700 will be applied to the booths that house the vehicle.
  • Example: For a truck that is 231 inches long and 86 inches wide, 3 booths must be purchased to accommodate the vehicle, and at least one booth must be purchased to accommodate representatives (up to four representatives).
  • The total cost for the above scenario is $2850 (three booths at a reduced rate of $700, and one at the standard rate of $750).
• We request that you arrive early to ensure you that there is room to accommodate the in-take of your vehicle. You must arrive no earlier than 5:00 a.m. no later than 7:30 a.m. on your first day at the fair. This will help us alleviate any safety issues with driving the vehicle in.
• When you arrive, the vehicle will enter through the loading dock at the Bryce Jordan Center (West Truckway). You will bring the car to Employer Registration, as marked on the parking map, and we will assist you with moving the car into your booth.
• You cannot have more than 1/4 tank of gas when you arrive and you must disconnect the vehicle's battery when your vehicle is positioned in your booth.
• No wheel cleaner or shine is allowed to be applied to the vehicle while it is in the building.
• You will only be permitted to exit the building after all other booths have departed on your last of the fair; again, this policy is to avoid any safety issues.

• Employer check-in is located on Level One of the Bryce Jordan Center and can only be accessed through the designated entrance. Please use the elephant doors to enter the facility (across from Panzer Lacrosse Stadium). All other entrances will be locked and will not permit entry.
• Continental breakfast, snacks, and drinks are available throughout the day in the Employer Lounge across from registration.
• Lunch is provided and served from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on the Mezzanine Level (2). Takeout boxes are available.
• Attire is business professional or business casual. We highly recommend comfortable shoes.
