If you plan to have food at your event, you must complete the Food Distribution Request online form, available at the Environmental Health and Safety Office website, must be submitted. An approval will be returned via -email. Please make certain a copy of the approval s forwarded to Jeana Hensley in the Dean's Office so it can be placed with the reservation request. Please review the rules for food service at the EHS website: http://www.utexas.edu/safety/ehs/food/index.html and note that all requests should be submitted at least 7 working days before you plan to distribute food. The approval must be printed out and displayed at the event, or you run the risk of having your event shut down because of unauthorized food service. Any event serving refreshments will be required to submit a food form - with he exception of commercially pre-packaged items provided by the group.

A completed Work Request Form is required when additional services, such as the placement of extra furniture outside of rooms or clean up by Janitorial Services after an event are needed. This form must be completed and turned into the MBA Program Office for processing one week prior to the event. The MBA Program Office Receptionist will gain the appropriate signatures and fax it to the Physical Plant. Three days prior to the event, it is the responsibility of the meeting organizers to check with the MBA Program Office to confirm the work order. The meeting organizer must contact the Physical Plant to confirm that the request will be done on the appropriate date.

Request  for Classroom Unlock  memo is required for any event scheduled on a weekend. There are no guarantees the classroom will be open and available for your use if this form is not completed and faxed to the custodial services office. The MBA Program Office receptionist will fax your completed form.

If any of these steps are not followed, please be prepared for possible problems during your event.
