Your Visit to Campus
Driving
The Moody College Career Expo will be held in the Texas Union, at the corner of Guadalupe and 24th Streets. You can reach the Texas Union from MoPac/Loop 1 by exiting Windsor/24th Street or from I-35 by exiting MLK Boulevard.
Ride Share Information (Highly Recommended)
Please ask your ride share driver to drop you off at the Texas Union, adjacent to the UT Guard Booth at 24th Street and Whitis Avenue. The Texas Union will be on your right if you are facing the guard booth.
Parking for Career Expo
Parking is very limited on campus. The San Antonio Parking Garage, 2420 San Antonio Street, is just a short walk to the Career Expo. The only way to guarantee a space is to purchase a permit in advance through this link.
We highly recommend pre-paying for parking, as it also helps with ease of entry and exit.
For those without a pre-paid pass, real-time space availability of campus garages can be viewed here.
There are also some public parking options in paid lots and metered street parking in the area.
Package Drop-Off
To drop off packages 30 lbs and smaller at the Career Expo prior to parking, please see the map above. The drop-off zone is located outside the Texas Union along 24th Street, east of Guadalupe Street. Drop-off will be open 9:30-11 a.m. Please do not leave your car unattended. Staff support will be on hand to help take packages from the loading zone to your booth while you go park your car. Moody College Career Expo is not responsible for any tickets issued for unattended vehicles.
For packages larger than 30 lbs, please see the shipping option below.
Shipping Packages for the Career Expo
All shipment of materials to and from the Expo will be handled by the attending employers and their representatives. If you would like to ship your materials in advance, we will accept small shipments from your preferred carrier until Friday, Sept. 25, at 4 p.m. Shipping times can be unpredictable, so please plan accordingly.
Express shipping through FedEx or UPS is highly recommended. Space is limited, so please reach out to your account representative or email advertise@texasstudentmedia.com for the address before sending packages to ensure we have the storage space and so we know to expect your delivery. Please note: Small packages under 30 lbs can be dropped off at the Load-In Zone (see above).
You are responsible for any packages/materials brought to the event. Please ensure all materials are packed upon leaving the Expo. In the event you will need to ship items back, you may use a nearby off-campus FedEx shipping center. Please note you will need to bring and prepare your own labels. Materials cannot be stored by UT after the event, and anything left on premises after 4 p.m. are subject to being discarded.
