🌟 College Fair Registration Tip of the Week 🌟
One person. One login. Always.

Registering for a college fair? Use your own profile and login.
Not a member? You’ll make your own profile - easy-peasy.
Not sure if you're a member? Just ask.

Use your own profile login. If not? 🚫 Bad security + 🚫 your profile turning into theirs and mass confusion ensues.

✨ Everyone uses their own login. Everyone stays happy. ✨
