Booking Tables

Indoor Tables

A good way to recruit new members and advertise your club events or meetings is to set up a table on campus and talk to students. Tables can be booked in virtually every building on campus. To book a table fill out the form here with details about your requirement. Once your request is processed your club will receive a tabling permit. When your club sets up your table make sure to bring your tabling permit with you. If you cannot produce a valid permit campus security may ask you to leave.

Locations:

  • 3 Tables in Old Main
  • 1 Table in the Campus Activity Centre
  • 1 Table in House of Learning
  • 1 Table in the International Building
  • 1 Table in the Science Building
  • 1 Table in the Arts and Education Building

Tabling Regulations

Clubs must review the tabling guideline and bake sale regulations (if applicable) before applying for a tabling permit.

Outdoor Tables

To Book a table outside your club must first decide where you would like to set up a table. There are three outdoor areas where tables can be booked:

  2. Campus Commons – Circle area in front of the Campus Activity Centre, Arts and Education, House of Learning, and International Building

Once you’ve decided where you would like to have your table you must get a Common Area Permit. Complete the form available here to apply for a Common Area Permit.
