Temporary Food Event Application
Registered Campus Organizations (RCOs) and other organizations must submit a Temporary Event Application before providing potentially hazardous foods (PHFs) at an event open to the general PUBLIC (or campus community). A permit is not required for a PRIVATE event attended only by group members or invited guests (i.e. closed event/by invitation only, office potluck, office meeting).
All (RCOs) must request approval to hold any type of fund raiser on campus, including a bake sale. To request approval to hold a bake sale as well as to serve food at a public event, a student organization must submit an event request in the Group Portal.
If you are not an RCO you must complete a temporary event application.
If you are uncertain as to whether your event is public or private, please contact [email protected].
