Can I make photocopies of my materials if I run out?
There is no photocopier on site and we strongly encourage exhibitors to bring plenty of materials.
How big a display can I bring?
Due to space limitations we ask that your display be no wider than 5 feet. The registration form does have room to indicate the type/size of display you are bringing. This assists us in determining the best location for your booth.
What happens if there is inclement weather?
As long as the University remains open, we will proceed with our event. Please check www.utsc.utoronto.ca for the latest university bulletins.
Is Internet access available?
Unfortunately, no we do not have wireless access in this facility.
How many representatives can I bring?
In order for us to keep our fees low and due to space limitations, we ask that you limit the number of representatives to three, unless specific permission is requested and granted otherwise. We do, however, cap our parking pass allotment for PAID events to a maximum of 2 per organization.
Can I book more than one table?
In order to accommodate as many different organizations (or schools) as possible, we usually limit each organization to one table at any given career fair. If space is available, we may consider allowing groups to book two tables and will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but due to high demand for our fairs, this is not usually possible.
How can I advertise that I'm going to be on campus?
In addition to the promotion that we do, you can arrange advertising through the campus newspaper (The Underground -

Is booth space pre-assigned? Will I know where I will be located before attending?
Booth space is pre-assigned and you will learn of your location upon arrival at the venue. We do our best to move participants around from year to year but please keep in mind that requests for electrical supply or backdrops can influence where you are placed.
I can't attend but would still like to visit the campus, what are my options?
Information sessions are available to organizations that hire students directly and want to promote to students. If you are an employer, you can post a job ad with us. Visit www.careers.utoronto.ca, click on "Employers" and "Post a position". Once you have posted, choose a date for the information session that works for you and we will help you to secure a room and suggest a good time for the session. We will also provide AV equipment such as a computer and/or projector if needed and will do extensive advertising on campus. There is a $125 fee for arranging an information session.

Can third-party recruiters and companies offering entrepreneurial opportunities participate in Fairs?
In response to student expectations, priority placement is given to organizations doing direct hiring of students. Therefore, we cannot accommodate third-party recruiters at our Fairs. At career fairs, booth space for employers offering entrepreneurial opportunities is limited and is granted on a first come-first served basis.
See Policies & Standards.
If space is available, and the organization meets our approval process, we may consider including it. A final determination would not be made until a couple of weeks before the fair.
Are there fairs on the other two University of Toronto campuses?
Yes. Click here to access information on fairs at the St. George and U of T Mississauga campuses.
