| General Conditions and Policies | |
| Menu Selection | |
| Your menu selection should be submitted to the Catering Department or Director of Dining Services no later than 5 days prior to your scheduled event. All food items served and consumed in the North Dakota State College of Science facilities must be arranged through or supplied and prepared by Dining Services. | |
| Policy Regarding To Go Food from Catered Events: | |
| It is our policy in the Dining Services not to allow leftovers or excess food to be taken home or kept in the departments by guests/customers etc. the food items that we remove from the catering areas must be disposed of properly by our staff. The exception would be items such as cookies, bars, pastries that are shelf stable and do not require proper refrigeration and reheating to keep and make them safe for public consumption. As a provider of food and food related items we are responsible for, and are constantly concerned with the quality and safety of the items we provide to our customers. Providing Quality Safe Food does not happen by accident. Our concern and responsibility to protect our products also becomes heightened when we serve food items for catering functions both in and out of the Student Center where controlling the surrounding conditions is difficult and the possibility of contamination is more likely to occur. If a customer becomes ill after eating foods prepared by us we are accountable to the customer and to the North Dakota Public Health Department. | |
