Benefits and Resources

Groups that are approved are granted a package of benefits, including:

  • use of university facilities at a lower cost or no cost
  • group accounts for UT electronic resources (e-mail, web hosting, listserv and portal services)
  • use of UT and UTM’s names in conjunction with group activities
  • listing on UTM student clubs webpage, Ulife website and other print and on-line directories
  • special food service menus and pricing through UTM Conference Services with sufficient advanced notice

Groups can apply for UT +UTM recognition on-line on the Ulife website – in most cases decisions are typically provided within one to two weeks from the completion of the application and checklist. The site also provides guidelines for your group’s constitution to help make the process smoother.

Booking Facilities

The Student Centre is the preferred location for student organization activities at UTM – groups can request Student Centre space by contacting the UTMSU office, in room 100 of the UTM Student Centre. If a suitable space is not available in the Student Centre, a UT+UTM-recognized group’s designated public contact can submit a room booking request form. (Not all booking requests can be met due to space limitations on campus. Please request space at least five working days in advance of your event and do not promote a location until its availability is confirmed.) 

Please note that if your group is planning to show a movie on campus, please review this document on movie licensing and copyright. Tables in the Davis Building Meeting Place, CCT link, North Building cafeteria, and Instructional Centre lobby may be booked with the Office of Student Affairs by submitting the Table Permit Request Form at least three days in advance.

 If food will be provided or consumed at a booking, note that all UTM outdoor locations and campus buildings (except the Student Centre) require the use of the campus’ food services provider, arranged through UTM Conference Services. Special menus and pricing are available for UTM-recognized student groups with sufficient advance notice.



U of T Internet Resources

Groups can request UofT internet resources (UT e-mail, web hosting, lilstserv and portal communities). Once your group receives UT+UTM recognition, the group's main contact can request internet services in Ulife under My Groups > Request Group Services.
