Parking Information

Each organization can use one space within the Woodward Garage.  There will be attendants directing you on where to park.  The address is 104 N Woodward Ave Tallahassee, FL 32306.  Please follow the signs to the parking garage.  Parking is nose-in parking only - you cannot back in.  A parking pass has been sent to the email of the individual who registered for the event.  

 

Parking is first-come first-serve.  If you arrive after the event starts, you will be responsible for finding your own parking.  If you are bringing more than one car, please park the additional car(s) in visitor parking at Doak Campbell Stadium.  We also strongly encourage Uber/Lyft or other rideshare options.  

 

FSU Department Parking: If you are an FSU Department, please use FSU Employee Parking instead of the reserved spaces.  If you do not have a FSU parking permit, please email vandrews@fsu.edu for further instruction.  

 

Here are some alternative to parking in the reserved area:

  1. Guest parking at Doak Campbell Stadium at the Visitor's Center (https://www.visit.fsu.edu/directions/) It is approximately $7.50/day and a 15 minute walk from the event space.
  2. ParkMobile Meter/App pay by the hour spots around campus.  Rate of $1.00 per hour from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and $0.50 per hour after 4:30 p.m. These spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  You will need to download the ParkMobile app. 
  3. Virtual visitor Permit through the Parking & Transportation Office for any white space that does NOT have a sign within the Traditions Garage.  These are $5.00 per day. 
    1. Visit Parking & Transportation Parking Permits and click Visitor Login (https://transportation.fsu.edu/parking-permits)
    2. You will create a guest account.  Complete the steps to register, get permit, and enter your vehicle information. 

* Note: the last two options get very busy with student parking, so spaces may be harder to find.

A map of campus can be found here: https://transportation.fsu.edu/maps 

 

The Career Center is not responsible for any parking tickets if you park in an unauthorized parking area.

Registered organizations who fail to show up at the event will still be charged for the event. Career fair "no-shows" are not entitled to transfers or refunds at any time. This is also applicable to virtual fair "no-shows." No-shows forfeit their entire registration fee and materials and are not eligible to roll the registration package over to another event. Outstanding bills from previous events will prevent employers from participating in future career fairs.

 

IN CASE OF EVENT CANCELLATION:  If a catastrophic event (extreme weather conditions, cancellations due to COVID restrictions, or other similar circumstances) occurs and the University is closed, the event will be cancelled or rescheduled.  Should the event not be rescheduled or an employer is unable to attend on the new date, the organization may request a credit towards registration to a future event or a refund, which will be 75% of the registration fee.
