Next Week in LCS

If you are unable to read the newsletter in your email, here's this week dose of Career Service events, information, and more.  Enjoy your weekend!
Don't forget that registration for the 2011 Cook County Bar Association Minority Job Fair is open until May 31, 2011. Students may register here.
FERP Update! **New EARLIER Deadlines** As noted in last week's email, major changes to the FERP process 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 FERP Announcements in Symplicity.
