Scanner Enabled Fairs
The Christian College Fairs™ are scanner-enabled events where participating colleges and universities are expected to properly equip and train their representatives to scan students' barcodes to collect their contact information.
NACCAP partners with GoToCollegeFairs, a top provider of fair technology who provides the College Matchmaking® feature. Colleges that participate receive leads from students scanned at the fair, as well as matched leads through the portal. These matched leads are students who registered for the fair but didn’t visit your table or attend, yet their preferences align with what your school offers. They are highly qualified leads and should be included in your school's communication plan.
GTCF College Matchmaking™
Leads are increased compared to fairs without this feature but only if you do a couple things:
Scan student barcodes at each fair. Ensure the correct fair is selected in the app along with your institution’s name.
No need to order scanner activation codes, but each rep must have the free GTCF MobileScan app on their phone to scan barcodes.
If a rep doesn’t scan, your school won't receive any leads (matched or scanned) from that fair.
After each fair, leads will be available on the GoToCollegeFair portal. If no one scans, no leads will be available to download.
To learn more about this technology, visit GoToCollegeFairs knowledge base where they provide guidance on many different technology-related questions.
The scanning app and leads are included in your registration fee. No extra costs are required.
This Statement and Principles of Good Practice consists of principles that all member institutions are expected to follow to the extent that they are applicable to the specific institutional category. As members of a Body of Christ, we are called to a higher standard while recognizing the diversity of our membership and a rapidly changing admission landscape that raises new and complex ethical issues. We aspire to the best practices in our profession. In rare situations where the standard modus operandi is different for a particular institutional category, these principles need to be tempered by common sense, discernment and concern for the membership as a whole.
Even with our best efforts, this document cannot anticipate every new admission process or strategy that may be enacted. We trust, however, that members will always honor the spirit and intent of this document. As the college admission landscape continues to change, adjustments to the language, procedures or behaviors advanced in this document will be considered.
The work of college admission is based upon professionalism, collaboration, civility and a shared responsibility to educate students and families about the transition to and within post-secondary education. As such, we believe ethical behavior is the foundation of the counseling, admission and enrollment management profession.
Transparency and trust are essential components of the college admission and counseling process. We believe in providing students and parents with complete, truthful and factual information that will allow them to make informed decisions.
We will cooperate in the development of programs and services in post-secondary counseling, admission and financial aid to eliminate bias related to ethnicity, creed, gender, age, political affiliation, national origin, disabling conditions, and socioeconomic status.
