Registration for the SPRING Illinois Regional College Fairs

Please select ONE person from your organization to register for the Spring 2026 travel season. Fall 2025 is on a separate registration. The Spring IRCF registration deadline is January 31, 2026 at 5 pm CT. Late registrations/add-ons will be evaluated on an individual basis and will incur a surcharge.

Please list the name of the person completing this form or the main contact for the fairs. You will also be given the opportunity later to include the name of the actual representative attending each fair, if you'd like. 

If your institution isn't listed, you must email Erin Hoover at ehoover@iacac.org to be added to the list. Do not proceed with registration until your school has been added.

 

If you are a college within a larger university, you must obtain written permission from the University's Admission Office to register separately for our fairs. That permission must be sent from an Admission Office representative and should be sent to ehoover@iacac.org. If THE HOST APPROVES and space allows, you will be permitted to register. If the HOST DOES NOT APPROVE, your registration will be canceled and refunded.

Instructions

IACAC encourages institutions to have one person submit this registration form, regardless of whether that will be the person attending an individual fair. As long as one individual from your institution is a member, you can qualify for the member rate.

If you register at the member rate but are not in fact an active member, you will be billed the price difference.

Before completing this registration form, make sure no one else from your organization has already registered. The form will not submit if your organization has already submitted it. To edit an existing registration, contact Erin Hoover at ehoover@iacac.org. 

The registration process includes the StriveScan Student Scanning fee automatically (no need to purchase credits separately for the IRCFs). Although StriveScan normally charges IACAC $26/fair, when bundled with registration, the fee is only $24/fair.

Cancellation Policy

Should IACAC or the host site need to cancel their fair, a full refund will be provided. Should an individual need to cancel their registration, a swap for another fair may be made but no refunds will be given.

IACAC is excited to continue a new college fair in the southwest suburbs for our third year in a row. In partnership with Moraine Valley Community College, IACAC plans to attract college and university reps from across the nation and internationally. Additionally, this college fair will be marketed to and open to students across Illinois. IACAC will also subsidize bussing costs to attract students/families from typically underserved areas of the state. 

IACAC Member Fee = $250
Non-member Fee = $325

We would love to see your institution represented at this successful Spring event!
