USF Departments shall not use their privileges for access to Recreation & Wellness space and services inappropriately to "front" for a Non-USF group, student organization, or commercial vendor in order to avoid or reduce expenses and/or provide access to campus for those entities.
USF Departments are not to reserve space for events in which they are not directly involved and present.
All instances of "fronting" for other USF Departments, off-campus groups, other student organizations, or commercial vendors will result in an adjustment of all related fees to the non-university rate and may result in the loss of reservation privileges.

Indoor Reservations

Food is not permitted inside of Recreation facilities. Concession stands are approved on a case by case basis.
- If food is approved, additional rental and direct costs associated with floor tarps will be incurred and added to the invoice.
Groups that wish to have concession stands must run the stand themselves.
Reservations that wish to have drinks sold are only permitted to sell drinks that are re-sealable.

Outdoor Reservations

Food is permitted on a case by case basis.
If you plan to have a food truck present at your event, you must fill out this link.
- This process needs to be approved through the University.
If you have any questions about food on campus for your event, you should contact Savanna Newsom at newsom-savanna@aramark.com.

USF Departments must notify Recreation & Wellness, via email, at least two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled event.
If a group does not cancel an event appropriately, the estimated direct costs will be sent to the group as an invoice and the organization may lose their reservation privileges.
