Outside Vendors
In order for outside vendors (individuals, businesses, or groups, including members of the Manhattanville College community acting as individuals or agents for such businesses or groups) to receive permission for a sales and/or solicitation permit at Manhattanville College, the following guidelines must be recognized and upheld:
1. Please contact our Events Coordinator in Residence Life & Conference Services, at 914-323-5217 at least two weeks in advance to reserve table space (pending permit approval) for sales and/or solicitation.
2. Vendor(s) are charged a fee of $75.00 per day, payable in advance of the vending date.
3. The College Bookstore and “College Ring Days” will receive priority in scheduling.
4. Unauthorized salespersons on campus will be considered trespassers and will be removed from campus and may be prosecuted.
5. Manhattanville has no commitment, financially or otherwise, to the solicitor.
6. The College may revoke a permit at any time. If granted, a vendor’s contract will be issued and must be carried by the salesperson(s) at all times while on campus.
7. If a vendor cancels a date two or more times within one academic school year, the college reserves the right to discontinue business with such vendor.
8. 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.
The Advertising Policy shall apply to all non-College entities and/or commercial business which desire to place advertising on Manhattanville College campus. Flyers, poster, etc. promoting business establishments containing advertising are banned. The prohibition also includes the placement on campus of non-College publications which contain advertising. Advertising of a private enterprise on campus is permitted only in approved campus publications, newspapers, magazines.
The College reserves the right to remove any sign/posting on display anywhere on College property that is considered to be not in support of the mission of the College. These include those postings considered in violation of College policies, including, but not limited to the College’s Non-Discrimination and Harassment policy, Sexual Misconduct Policy, and other applicable policies.
