Self Catering

While we encourage all food on campus to be procured through the single-source catering model, since program participation benefits our community, we understand that there are times when you may need to bring food to campus from another source.

• It is acceptable to bring food onto campus in support of events in HGSE classrooms and meeting rooms if the total retail value of the product is less than $100 all day.
• It is not acceptable to bring food onto campus in support of events into event spaces.
• It is acceptable to bring food into private offices or private conference rooms in support of private activities.
• Due to food safety and liability concerns, “pot-lucks” are not allowed to be held in event spaces, meeting spaces, or classrooms.
• Alcohol cannot be provided by anyone aside from the single-source caterer.
• Please consider the environment. A compostable "Green" setup can be provided through our single-source caterer at a per-person cost to help support your event.

If your event food and beverage falls within the self-catering policy, it is the group’s responsibility to clean up the space and properly dispose of all trash from the event. Do not leave a mess for the following group. Should you need assistance disposing of bulky items, please contact the Event Operations Team.
