Event formats in Handshake
On-Campus
An on-campus event takes place at a school’s campus and requires coordination with the school to secure a venue. Common examples include information sessions and panel discussions.
Because these events are hosted at a single school, you must select that school as the host when creating the event. After you submit the event request, it is sent to the school for approval.
Once approved, students can view and RSVP to the event. Learn more about Accessing Event and Fair RSVPs.
Off-Campus
An off-campus event is hosted by your organization at a location outside of a school’s campus, such as an office or recreational facility.
Basic, Plus, and Pro employers can promote one off-campus event per school and must create separate events to request the same event at multiple schools.
*Essentials and TES customers can select multiple schools or use a school list when hosting an event for a group of schools, such as HBCUs. Learn more about Creating and Managing School Lists.
Virtual
A virtual event is hosted online rather than in person, allowing attendees to join from multiple locations. Examples include webinars, online workshops, and virtual information sessions.
