Best Practice: Printing Student Barcodes Before Arrival

Dear School Counselors,

To ensure a smooth check-in and help colleges capture student leads on fair day, we recommend that counselors print and distribute student barcodes before arrival at the fair. This is especially helpful for schools busing students, as barcodes can be handed out during roll call on the bus or prior to departure.

Use the FREE GoToCollegeFairs Counselor Dashboard

With a verified counselor account, you can:

  • Bulk register students

  • Bulk print barcodes alphabetically for any student who registers under your associated high school (regardless of whether the student self-registered or was bulk registered)

  • View student attendance and other reports
