Catering for On-Campus Events

Per the University’s catering policy, Syracuse University Campus Catering is the only authorized catering service for Syracuse University, providing food and beverages in compliance with New York State law, the Onondaga County Health Department, and the Syracuse University Policy on Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Tobacco.

If you wish to serve alcohol at your event, 30 days advance notice must be given. Syracuse University Catering Services has primary responsibility for selling and serving alcohol at events. The New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA) requires a caterer’s (temporary alcohol) permit for all non-licensed facilities for every event on campus where alcohol is being served. Without this permit, alcohol cannot be served. The licensed facilities on campus are the Schine Student Center, the Inn Complete, and the JMA Dome.
