In order to plan an Event Open to the Public that is in compliance with this policy, food service arrangements must be made by the organizer in the following manner:

  • Use the IUPUI-approved on-campus contracted food service vendor for the event at a food service location currently licensed by the MCHD.
  • or

  • Obtain a Special Events Permit from the Marion County Health Department. Food service outside physical locations on campus currently licensed by the MCHD requires licensure as a Temporary Food Establishment by the MCHD (e.g. the sale of grill items in the courtyard in front of or adjacent to the Student Activity Center). Participants may use the IUPUI-approved on-campus contracted food service vendor or, with the expressed approval of the Administrator of Food Contract Services, another Provider capable of meeting the Temporary Food Establishment requirements of the MCHD.

    It is the responsibility of the Provider to meet the Temporary Food Establishment licensing requirements of the MCHD and to obtain such licensure prior to the event. Foodservice at such an event must be overseen by a Certified Food Handler as defined by the ISDH. No event may be held without prior licensure.
  • Submit a Special Events Application available at least 7 (seven) days prior to the event.
  • The MCHD requires that application for a Temporary Food Establishment be submitted to the agency thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled event. Additional guidance can be found at the following link: http://www.mchd.com/fdevents.htm.

Environmental Health and Safety guidelines can be found at the EHS website, as well.
