FERP (EARLIER!!) Deadline Updates

We've made some major changes regarding procedures and deadlines for the Fall Employer Recruitment Program (FERP). The major changes are detailed in the FERP Announcements in Symplicity, but here is a highlight of the upcoming changes:

• All of the registration and bidding procedures can now be completed online.  This eliminates the need to fax or bring in materials to our office.
• We are now able to accommodate employers that are requesting to interview students on campus during August.  PLEASE NOTE: Some of these employers will be interviewing before classes begin so if you submit your materials through FERP, you must be available to interview on campus on their selected dates. If you are unavailable, the same process of submitting your materials directly to employers as explained in FERP Orientation still applies.
• The Registration process is now separate from the Bidding process, and each has its own deadline.  You will not be able to bid on employers until you have successfully completed the Registration process.
• The Priority Registration date is now Wednesday, July 27, 2011.
• The first bidding deadline will now be Friday, July 29, 2011 at Noon (local to DePaul).
• Many of the other procedures and deadlines, such as having your resume approved, attending FERP Orientation (or watching the video and completing the quiz), remain the same, and more information about those and any other requirements are included in the link below.

Additional information is available in the FERP Announcements in Symplicity.  We appreciate your patience as we work through these changes but please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions.
