If you plan to serve alcohol:
University policy requires that for any event being held on campus where alcohol will be served, whether for sale or not, an application to serve alcoholic beverages be filled out and submitted to the UC Police Department (UCPD) for approval. The application must be received by UCPD at least seven working days prior to the event date, so please plan ahead.
Groups wishing to serve alcohol should complete the following steps in this order:
- complete the “contact information” and “event information” sections of the form in full
- confirm the source of funds for obtaining alcoholic beverages
- request signatures from Donna Hendrix for sponsor approval and from Cherry Chung for facility approval (DocuSign is preferred, but the paper process is also acceptable)
- submit the application to UCPD for final approval
- send a copy of the approved form to stanley_reservations@berkeley.edu
A completed and approved UCPD permit must be on display at the event where alcohol is being served. Events failing to complete or have the form on hand may be denied the serving of alcohol.
