Food and Refreshment Guidelines

Whereas the College does not intend to spend a significant amount of College funds on food and refreshments:

• • • Generally, food/refreshments are only provided for functions that have a direct relation to approved college events/initiatives and include external guests (community members, visitors, students, etc);

• • • Generally, food should not be funded for regular staff meetings, unless there are extenuating circumstances;

      • • An example of extenuating circumstances may include a unique activity that makes it impractical for staff to take their regular lunch break.

    • Refreshments should not be funded for social events, such as holiday celebrations or birthday parties.

      • • Light refreshments (cake, cookies, punch, etc) may be provided for employee retirement recognitions. 

    • An increase to a Food/Refreshments budget must be approved by a VC or above.
