Printing Student Barcodes Before Arrival

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

How to Print Student Barcodes

  1. Log in or Sign up at https://register.gotocollegefairs.com/account/login

    1. New counselor accounts require manual verification and are typically approved within 1–2 business days.

  2. Once signed in, locate the event for which you would like to print student barcodes and click the "Print Student Barcodes" link.

Printing and distributing barcodes ahead of time ensures a successful fair experience for both students and colleges. Thank you for your continued support of your students.

Best regards,
