Food & Beverages
All catered food served in the Student*University Center must be provided through PantherDining or an approved caterer. Please consider catering/set-up needs (e.g. serving tables, access time, etc.) when placing reservation requests.
Snack Food Waiver
Student organizations and university departments that would like to bring non-perishable food (not including food catered by PantherDining) into their reserved space must submit a Snack Food Waiver Request Form to the Reservations Office. (This document requires Adobe Reader to view.) Food that qualifies for a snack food waiver includes foods not subject to temperature such as cookies, chips, donuts, bagels, and nuts. Beverages such as soda and bottled water are also acceptable, however beverages containing red dye are not allowed. Individual food items are not permitted in the Speaker’s Auditorium, State Ballroom, VIP Room (235 University Center) or the Golden Key Board Room.
A fee of $15 for special handling of this waiver will be charged if the form is submitted fewer than five business days prior to the event. Food deliveries and outside caterers are not permitted as part of the snack food waiver request.
Alcoholic Beverages
The use, possession, consumption, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages on any property owned or leased by the university is strictly prohibited. Only the president or his designee may make exceptions.
Requests for alcoholic beverage service in the Student*University Center must be approved through the alcohol review process. An Alcohol Request form must be submitted at least 10 business days before the event.
Please refer to the Office of Legal Affairs website for the correct forms.
