ON-LINE REGISTRATION

•  There is no registration deadline. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis and will remain open until all booth spaces have been assigned.

•  Once capacity for the event has been reached, a waiting list will be generated. In the event of cancellations of pre-registered patrons, spaces will be allocated to wait-listed patrons on the basis of registration date. Please note that placement on the waiting list does not guarantee participation.

•  To facilitate registration on-line, companies must first establish a MonsterTRAK Hiring Solutions Account. If you do not already have an account you may create one using the link below:

•  If you have been conducting your recruitment activities using the MonsterTRAK system at other universities and want to use your existing master account you may do so. You will, however, need to secure your user id and password from your internal corporate sources, since your corporate master account information is not accessible to Howard University 's Career Services staff.
