All requests should be submitted a minimum of
two weeks before the reservation date. Any services declined due to last minute requests are subject to the buyout fee.
A
confirmation we have received your request will be sent via e-mail,
along with a reply of the availability of services within 48 business
hours.
An event agreement will be sent via email. Once
received, please review the event agreement(s) and verify the information is
correct and the totals are within your budgeted amount.
A Buyout Fee will be applied for any catering/food services that are outsourced per Board Policy 6700.
SWC Food Services is the exclusive caterer for the District, and
its generated revenue supports students and campus programs annually. SWC Food
Services holds the first right of refusal for ALL events involving food/drink
within the Southwestern Community College District. If your student group
or department wishes to use an outside catering vendor, please request approval
by emailing FoodServices@swccd.edu.
Bringing any unapproved (outside) catering vendors or food to campus without
proper approval is strictly prohibited.
If SWC Food Services cannot accommodate your catering request,
external caterers may be considered with written approval from SWC Food
Services management. However, a 10% fee based on the food/drink invoice (not
exceeding $300) must be paid to Dining Services in such cases. If outside
catering is provided without written approval from food services than a $300 buyout fee will automatically apply. This policy is non-negotiable.
