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 Office of Student Activities 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 Office of Student Activities.
  • 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 Student Activities 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.
  • 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 Office of Student Activities via the Event Proposal Form found on Presence.
  • 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.
