On-campus organizations and departments may self-cater if the dollar value of the food being provided is less than $100.00. (Non university groups/organizations must utilize TU Dining Services)
Self-catering includes items that are purchased from an area restaurant or items that can be purchased pre-packaged (cookies, chips, deli trays, soft drinks) from a local grocery or convenient type store. Homemade items of any kind are not permitted.
If a group chooses to self-cater then that group assumes all liability and responsibility for clean-up.
Only certain rooms in the facility are available for self-catering events (Chouteau, Alcove, and Administrative Conference Room).
Self-catering events must be approved in advance by the Administrative Office of the Allen Chapman Student Union.
