Become A Licensed Vendor
The University of Toronto requires that all suppliers of branded merchandise be licensed with the University. We review each supplier application for compliance with our policies, a dedication to ethical sourcing and sustainability and a need for specific products and services on our campus. The University reserves the right to refuse any license that does not meet the needs of our program.

The University contracts with a third-party licensing agent, the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), to carry out the administrative work associated with licensing suppliers, including contracts and collecting manufacturing information.
