University Policy

Policy:
  1. University of Wisconsin–Madison Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) are encouraged to utilize Wisconsin Union facilities for their meetings, programs and events.  Recognizing that food is often a key element and that student organizations have limited budgets and that food purchased from outside sources is not allowed in Union facilities, (with the exception of pizza for closed member only RSO meetings—see UW-2079 Food and Beverages on Union Premises).
  2. Wisconsin Union Dining and Hospitality will discount food purchased from pick-up menus offered from the following areas when available:

    1. Academic Units (Badger Markets, Capital Café, Chazen, University Club).

    2. Memorial Union and Union South Restaurants, Coffee Houses, and Ice Cream.

    3. Wisconsin Union Catering.

    Orders will be placed with Wisconsin Union Event Services (WUES). Please see the menus for all contact and timing notes.

  3. All University of Wisconsin–Madison Registered Student Organizations will receive a 20% discount off of available pick-up menus (not all operations will be open at all times) and a 10% discount off the full-service Catering menu for their meetings, events or programs when paid for with RSO funds, OSAS-RSO Program funds, or other RSO program grant funds.

  4. Additional Criteria to Receive Discount:

    1. Discount applies ONLY to student groups registered with the Office for Student Organizations, Leadership & Involvement or Wisconsin Union Directorate Clubs for items listed on menus.

      1. ‘Off menu’ or custom items may not be applicable for discounts.

    • RSO funds
