Student Group/Club
In order for student groups to receive permission for a sales and/or solicitation permit at Manhattanville College, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
• A representative of the student group must register with the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership to assist in publicity and scheduling and to register to whom profits will go.
• All sales must take place in an area designated by the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership.
• No sales may take place in residence halls.
• A limited number of permits will be granted for any one type of sale.
• The College Bookstore and “College Ring Days” will receive priority in scheduling.
• The College may revoke a permit at any time.
• The sponsoring group must have a representative present at the designated area at all times during the event.
• All money collected by clubs/organizations must be immediately brought to CSIL Monday-Friday from 9am – 5pm, or to Campus Safety after hours or on the weekends. Two members of the club/organization must complete a deposit form when depositing money. MONEY CANNOT BE KEPT OVERNIGHT.
• Money cannot be collected via the use of electronic transfer of funds applications (i.e. Venmo, Apple Pay, Paypal, Google Pay) without explicit permission, in writing, from the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership.
• The sale or distribution of food items must meet the requirements of Westchester Health Department- Food Safety Resources, which is available at http://health.westchestergov.com/food-safety-fact-sheets. Food for activities that are not catered by Chartwells Food Service must be approved in advance by the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership via the Event Proposal Form.
• Homemade bake sales are not permitted. If you are planning a bake sale, all food items must be store bought and/or prepackaged and cannot exceed $50.
• Any student who wishes to sell items on campus but is not sponsored by or supporting a student organization must follow the policies for outside vendors.
• The sales and/or solicitations must not disrupt College activities. Flyers/advertisements may only be handed out from people sitting behind a registered table and only to people who approach the table to receive information. Vendors may not call out to others and may not approach and hand out flyers/advertisements to others (except as a planned part of an approved program), and must remain behind their table.
Political Campaigning
Any student club/organization that seeks to solicit funds/donations from alumni, local or national businesses, and/or “friends to the College” must obtain approval from CSIL and the Office of Institutional Advancement prior to any solicitation.
