Atrium Tables

Atrium Table Policy for Coeur de Catherine (CdC) Student Center

• There are six atrium tables in the Coeur de Catherine (CdC). The tables are located in the 1st and 2nd floor Atriums and the 2nd floor corridor of the CdC. 

• Four of the six tables are available for St. Kate’s chartered student organizations and University departments to use for the purpose of solicitation. “Solicitation” in this statement means the seeking of funds or other support, such as signatures, food, or supplies by a chartered student organization from persons outside its membership or by individual students.  Solicitation includes activities such as the sale of goods or services; the distribution of literature, materials or products; or the promotion of rallies, parades, runs, or special events. 

  • Student organizations and University departments can table up to three times a week but cannot have more than one table a day. Exceptions may be  made for departmental events (e.g., career or art fair where multiple tables are needed).

• Two of the six tables are available for external organizations to use for the purpose of solicitation.  The charge is $50 per table.  “Solicitation” in this statement means the selling of goods or services, information distribution about a company and/or product.  

  • • Outside vendors must fit within the mission of a Catholic Women’s Liberal Arts institution.

    • Political campaign groups will not be charged the $50 fee.  

    • Vendors soliciting for credit cards will not be allowed to reserve a table. 

    • The University reserves the right to deny a solicitation table to any external organization. 

• If the two outside vendor tables are not reserved, a chartered student organization or university department can reserve one of the tables a week in advance.
