The 2026-2027 calendar is now live!
​​​​​
Ohio Association for College Admission Counseling is pleased to announce that we have expanded our partnership with StriveScan to bring their registration platform and barcode scanning to all OACAC-Sponsored and Approved fairs.
​​​
StriveScan will enhance the experience for representatives and students by making information exchange more efficient and productive, while also providing valuable data to fair hosts, school counselors, and our organization.
StriveScan partners with many organizations, including all NACAC affiliates, 12 AACRAO affiliates, the Colleges That Change Lives, Council of International Schools, and more. Over 2,500 colleges have used StriveScan at thousands of fairs across the country and the world.
​
IMPORTANT NOTE:
​
-
If you recently paid for your 2026-2027 OACAC membership within the past 7 business days, your membership rates may not be reflected in your StiveScan account yet.
​
-
If you do not see the appropriate membership rates for OACAC-sponsored fairs ($150 for members, $200 for non-members), please wait to complete your fair registrations.
​
​
​​
Institutions:
Institutions will now register for all OACAC-Sponsored and Approved Fairs through their StriveScan account. We’ll share more information on this process in the coming months. Scanning for all OACAC-Sponsored and Approved fairs will be included with registration.
​
You will no longer need to purchase credits through StriveScan for OACAC fairs as it is included in your registration fee for each fair.
​
Representatives will use the StriveScan app to scan students' barcodes. Representatives can instantly view the student's information and take notes right in the app. After the fair, representatives export student data instantly to a CSV file or automatically upload it directly to their CRM.
​​
​​
Student Registration:
Students will register for OACAC-Sponsored and Approved fairs at StriveFair.com. Upon registration, StriveScan sends them a barcode via text and email, which students show to representatives at the fair. Registering for a barcode allows students to quickly connect with institutions during, and even after, the event. There is no cost for students to register for a barcode.
​
Counselors are asked to ensure that all students register at StriveFair.com before attending an OACAC-Sponsored and Approved fair. StriveScan’s Fair Tool Kit has materials to support the registration process, including guidance on navigating cell phone bans and bulk student registration.
