Food and Alcohol Policy

Events with Food

Events with food must use an approved caterer or follow the rules for food events on the Sanitarian's website. See the catering page for more information.

If using a drop-off catering service, the sponsoring organization is responsible for cleaning up and disposing of the garbage associated with the event. If the garbage in a room is full after a food event, the sponsoring organization must notify the building manager.

Eating Competitions

All participants must sign off on a physical liability release and Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) must be on site for the event. The sponsoring organization is responsible for all cleanup.

Events with Alcohol

Any event involving alcohol must adhere to the University’s Drug and Alcohol Policy.

Per the activity registration policy, events with alcohol require student organizations to follow the 30-day timeline.
