  1. Please scroll down through the presentation in order to view the notes on each slide. Do Not view as a slide show. Notes are in the top left corner on each slide. Food Safety Policy All student organizations planning an event involving the preparing, cooking, and/or serving of food in University Center reserved spaces must follow these steps at least two days in advance of the event: When you reserve your event on SpaceQuest, indicate in the notes that your event will have food that will be prepared, cooked, and/or served by members of the organization. You will be asked to complete a food handlers quiz 48 hours in advance of the event. The quiz is online at https://www.enrollment.cmu.edu/foodsafety/index.html. You must sign in with your Andrew ID before taking the quiz. You will receive your results immediately upon completion. All members of your organization who will be preparing/cooking/serving food must take the quiz. Each member who completes the quiz must print the certificate signifying that they have passed. Once all members who are handling food at the event have passed the quiz, the event organizer must return to the quiz page and create and print a certificate for the event indicating the names of the members handling the food. This certificate must be presented at the event. The certification for each individual will last for one academic year; however, each organization must print a new certificate for each event signifying those members certified to prepare and/or serve food. If an event is held by individuals or organizations that have not received a certificate of completion or are not following the proper food safety guidelines, the event will not be allowed to continue. After two violations, organizations will not be allowed to prepare, serve, or cook food in the University Center reserved space for the remainder of the academic year.
