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.
