There are a number of policies and procedures in place to help
protect all guests during any events at Seattle University. Because of
the nature of some of the student events, special allowances have been
made so that the groups may produce their own food at events. Because
the following guidelines and policies are in place for the protection of
event attendees, these are strictly enforced by all involved
departments.
Students have two options when holding events with food on campus:
- If the students want to have an event catered, Bon Appétit must be
the caterer. This is a requirement under the terms of the university's
exclusive contract with Bon Appétit. Their menu (in Adobe PDF format)
may be found online at this link.
Bon Appétit will do everything
possible to assist student groups with budgetary constraints, including
offering a lower cost "Express Menu" with items available for pick up.
If students use the Express Menu option through Bon Appétit, the
students must still comply with King County Health Department regulations.
Conference and Event Services (CES) will help students meet those
requirements.
- Students also have the option to prepare their own food or obtain
food from an outside source (for example, QFC, Costco, Subway,
Piecora's). With this option, student groups must comply with King County Health Department regulations. CES will
work with the Event Organizers to ensure compliance. Four (4) weeks'
advance notice is needed in order to meet these requirements.
