If you are hoping to provide your own refreshments for your event, FIRST, read the Campus Food Policy (link above) to see if your event might qualify for a catering waiver.

THEN – CONTACT CATERING to see if it is appropriate for you to submit a Catering Waiver form.  Catering Waiver forms must be submitted at least 14 business days in advance. Submission of a Catering Waiver request does not guarantee a waiver will be approved – and must be preceded by a conversation with Catering Staff.

Guest counts are required at least 48 hours before larger events. Last minute guest counts received less than 48 hours of notification will be charged a 10% late fee – if accommodation is possible. If no final updates are made, the guest count from the initial confirmation will be used.

For counts greater than the guaranteed number, we will do our best to provide a comparable meal.
