Please select the desired option below to purchase your table at Get On Board Day and follow the instructions at the link to complete your GOBD registration. No registrations will be considered final until payment has been received.

We cannot guarantee that student organizations will be placed near each other unless they register at the same time. If there’s a specific organization you’d like to be placed beside, please encourage them to register at the same time as you. This will increase the likelihood of being assigned adjacent tables. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Additional accommodation requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
