Alcohol & Catering Policies
Alcohol Policies
Off-Premise Catering Permits are not available for catering on campus without a license. Penn State University has developed the following policies for the safe service of alcoholic beverages.
BJC Catering will adhere to all policies set forth by AD18 as pertaining to off-site caterings.
CASH BARS AND SIMILAR ARRANGEMENTS ON UNIVERSITY PROPERTY AND AT UNIVERSITY-SPONSORED EVENTS
- All events on University property associated with the University Park campus (including Rock Springs, Stone Valley, and other facilities) must utilize BJC Catering to serve and sell alcoholic beverages as part of a "cash bar" or catered event. No other liquor license is permitted to sell alcoholic beverages on University property.
RULES FOR SERVING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
For all events, the following parameters apply to any event occurring on University Property or at any University-sponsored event occurring at another location:
- Persons under the age of 21 years may not purchase, consume, possess, or be served alcoholic beverages. It is the responsibility of the person(s) distributing alcoholic beverages to determine the age of the recipient.
- No alcoholic beverages may be furnished to a person who appears to be intoxicated.
- Non-alcoholic beverage alternatives must be available at all events.
- Alcoholic beverages should not be served or ordered prior to 3:00PM on a business day (Monday-Friday).
- Only unrestricted gift funds or specific restricted funds can be used to purchase alcoholic beverages.
- Alcoholic beverages may be provided at employee events and paid from unrestricted gift funds ONLY when the event is sponsored and attended by the Unit Budget Executive. Otherwise, an exception must be granted by the Chief Risk Officer (for University Park events). The written exception approval must be submitted with the AD18 "Permission to Possess/Use Alcoholic Beverages" form.
- All alcoholic beverages must be purchased in Pennsylvania per the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB).
HOUSE POLICY
- All Service and Management staff must be RAMP trained.
- All alcohol service must be accompanied by a Food Service order.
- All Off-Premise Catering Permits for alcohol service must be applied for at least 14 days before the event date. Any request within 14 days to 7 days is subject to a filing fee. Any request within 7 days will not be issued as per PLCB law.
- Alcoholic beverage service will be terminated one-half hour before the scheduled end time of the event for the safety of all invited guests.
- Purchasing alcohol for "takeout" (for consumption off premises) at events is not permissible. All alcohol must be consumed in the location where the event is being held.
- Alcoholic beverage service may not be provided for more than five hours throughout the course of any single event: for example, one-hour reception followed by four hours of alcoholic beverage service or, if no alcoholic beverage service is provided through dinner, beverage service could be provided from the point of re-opening after dinner for no more than four more hours.
STUDENT FUNCTION NO ALCOHOL POLICY
- Permission to use, possess, or distribute alcoholic beverages on University property or at a University-sponsored event will not be granted to undergraduate student groups or other organizations of which, by the nature of the organization, most of of the members in the group or organization are under the age of twenty-one years.
CARDING POLICY
