Time: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (maximum of four-hour blocks of time).

A. Information Tables

Manner: Recognized student, faculty, or staff organizations may disseminate information about their campus organization and its activities as long as the tabling activity does not unreasonably interfere with the instructional program or operation of the campus or obstruct the free flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Events in this category may occur no more than four times a month for each group or organization and require the requesting organization to seek University approval at least 3 business days in advance.

B. Individually Pre-Packaged Food Sales (foods not requiring heating/refrigeration)

Manner: Only individually pre-packaged foods and baked goods not requiring refrigeration or heating may be served or sold on campus by recognized student, faculty, or staff organizations having obtained prior written University approval. Items such as bags of chips, packaged candy, uncut whole fresh fruit, individually packaged muffins, canned soft drink products, and other like pre-packaged items are permissible for University approval, except that no item prohibited under any University contract will be approved or allowed to be sold or served on campus. Neither preparation nor storage of food in private homes is permissible per the City of Long Beach Health Department.

For example: A box of donuts is not considered pre-packaged because the donuts are open within the container. An organizations requesting to sell/give away donuts may only obtain University approval to do so if each donut is individually wrapped by the bakery and placed within the box. This holds true for cakes, pies, cookies, or any other baked item.

For the protection of the health and safety of the campus community and guests, the sale and distribution of food as covered under this regulation will be carried out in compliance with the City of Long Beach Health Department, Bureau of Environmental Health, whose personnel may inspect campus food sales at any time.

• There will be no sale of publications available in the University Bookstore without permission from the University Bookstore director
• Organizations may not sell products if such sales would violate any University-approved contracts with vendors, including, but not limited to, the University’s current contracts with Pepsi.
