Food Service

• If Campus Dining Services is providing your food, please call them at 909- 537-5916 to place your order. PLEASE NOTE: For events not in the Obershaw Dining Room, food serving tables need to be ordered from Special Events, Scheduling and Protocol (see Furniture Requests). Tablecloths need to be ordered from Dining Services.
• If Campus Dining Services is not providing your food, you need approval from Campus Dining and Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) department as indicated below:

Campus Dining Services has exclusive rights to provide food and beverage at campus events. The use of an off-campus source for provision of food and beverage requires written approvals from Campus Dining Services and EHS (Environmental Health and Safety). If Campus Dining Services has approved the use of an off-campus source, their signature is required on the Space Reservation Request (SRR) receipt form. The signed form should then be delivered to Special Events, Scheduling and Protocol (or an email from Campus Dining to events@csusb.edu will also suffice). REQUIRED: An outside restaurant or caterer must show proof of insurance coverage for $2 million general liability. 

To receive EHS approval: Complete the  Food Event Notification form  two (2) weeks prior to the event. EHS will process the FEN only if Campus Dining Services has given their initial approval.

NOTE: If food is not being provided by Campus Dining and will be served to off-campus attendees, then a Community Event and Temporary Food Facilities Info Packet is needed instead of the FEN.

Please be aware there are fees.

Serving Alcohol

All events requesting to serve alcoholic beverages must fill out the Alcohol Use Permit form. We will review the permit and submit it University Police for approval.

NOTE: If an organization/group is charging admission for a reception/dinner where alcohol is served, in addition to the permit indicated above, an ABC-221 form must be filled out.

Please be aware there is a fee. Fees are subject to change.

Submission instructions:

If you are not charging admission for the event, it will not be necessary to fill out an ABC form; just the CSUSB Alcohol Use Permit.
