Reservation Policies
The following steps are required if you and your group would like to use Carleton space(s):
- Provide proof of insurance for your group, listing Carleton College as “Also Insured”.
- Register your event with Carleton College Event Services Office.
- Submit a completed “Facilities Use Agreement”.
We want everyone to enjoy their time on the Carleton campus! To help us maintain a safe and beautiful space, please note that the following are not permitted:
- Weapons, fireworks, or explosives (alcohol and smoking in approved areas).
- Open flames (unless using our designated fire pits).
- Motorized vehicles, or bicycles parked outside designated areas.
- Unleashed pets or littering.
- Entering neighboring campus buildings or connecting to campus utilities.
Please be mindful of others. The College reserves the right to ask individuals or entire groups to leave—with the assistance of Campus Security or the Northfield Police—if their behavior is destructive, unlawful, or prevents others from enjoying the grounds.
Insurance Policies
- Carleton College requires general liability insurance for all approved “third parties” to use College facilities for specific events. If the ”third party” is unable to obtain general liability insurance on their own, they can purchase coverage through the University Risk Management and Insurance Association’s TULIP Program (Tenants’ and Users’ Liability Insurance Policy, also known as “Events Coverage”).
Catering/Food Policies
Bon Appétit Management Company (Carleton’s food service provider) is a caterer licensed to serve alcohol. They can cater both food and alcoholic beverages for an event. If Bon Appétit is hired to provide food at an event and alcoholic beverages will be served at the event, Bon Appétit must provide the alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages must be confined to the reception room.
