Campus Center Vendors

Are you ready to advertise to over 19,000 BC students, faculty, and staff?

Vendors are able to host a booth on campus by following the steps outlined on this page. Be sure to fill out the Vendor Intake Form to be added to the contact list for the Office of Student Life. Members on the contact list will be notified when Student Life hosts special vendor fairs or events which might be of interest to you or your organization.

Step 1: Request your visit

Visit Events Management
Click the link at the top of the page to read the BC Events Guidelines and Marketing Procedures
Click on Community Members to Create a New Account and/or request a space
Once the form is submitted, expect communication back from BC Events Department within three instructional days. If we do not, please email studentlife@bakersfieldcollege.edu to check on your status.

Step 2: Get your Certificate of Insurance

Vendors are required to provide the Kern Community College District with a Certificate of Insurance that provides liability coverage with limits of not less than $1,000,000. It must also include workers' compensation and automotive coverage. The certificate must list KCCD, 2100 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301, as additional insured and must be accompanied by an endorsement.

Step 3: Secure your spot with a Payment

There is a $50 vendor fee that can be submitted to the BC Business Services. Payment may be sent beforehand or paid the day of the visit. As a registered vendor, you will receive a parking pass, one 6ft table, and two chairs for an 8x8 booth space. Other accommodations may be approved as requested. We suggest you bring your own materials and tent/covering to ensure your comfort as the booth spaces are outside on the campus lawns. Electricity is limited and only provided upon request.

Step 4: Your Confirmation

Once your Form, Certificate of Insurance, and payment have been cleared, your visit to Bakersfield College is now confirmed and we look forward to your visit at the Home of the Renegades.

Step 5: Day of Visit

Come to the Office of Student Life to check in. We are located in the new Campus Center Building, which is located in the center of campus.
