Students in Fargo-Moorhead

Short answer

NDSU's Career and Advising Center lists eight career fairs and expos for 2026-2027, including the Fall and Spring Career Expo at the Fargodome. The fairs are not open to the general public: they are for NDSU students and alumni, and some also admit current students of Concordia, MSUM and NDSCS. Registration is not required and students should bring a Student ID to check in. Employers and participants are listed in Handshake. Confirm dates on the center's own page, because they can change.

Source: the NDSU Career and Advising Center's Career Fairs page, read November 8, 2026. As of that date the fall events had already taken place. Dates, places and eligibility can change, so confirm on the center's page. The fairs are not open to the general public.

What the center says to do

  • Registration before the event is not required.
  • Bring a Student ID to check in.
  • See all participating employers in Handshake before the event.
  • Update your resume; the center links to its resume resources.

What else to bring

The center's fair listings do not spell out the rest, so treat the following as general advice rather than NDSU rules: several tailored resume copies, a pen and notepad, a padfolio, a short introduction about your major and the roles you want, and a few questions for the employers you picked from Handshake. Our career fair checklist covers each.

The center's pages do not mention business cards or QR codes. If you want a quick way to share more than a resume, a free profile can hold your LinkedIn, portfolio and a Resume tab, and share it from a QR code or card; it supplements a paper resume and a good conversation, it does not replace them.
