College Matchmaking® is the only service that can be opted-out during the registration process.  Basic student data sharing is required for fair registration.  This data will be shared with colleges, this is the core of our service offering.  If you do not wish to share ANY data with colleges, please do not register for a college fair.  You may certainly attend in-person fairs without registration and sharing of your barcode, however this barcode does expedite your fair experience.  All students attending virtual fairs must be registered, for security purposes.
