Vendor Policy
Student Vendors
Keuka College students are allowed the opportunity to create a student vendor contract with the Vice President for Student Development/Dean of Students, or their designee, for legitimate business opportunities. Students can schedule up to two consecutive days per semester. The student vendor acts as an independent agent and has no affiliation with Keuka College. There is a student vendor fee of $25 per scheduled period, payable upon the creation of Student Vendor Contract.
The Office of Student Life agrees to make reservations through EMS (Event Management System) for the student vendor. The reservation includes usage of a campus room (lounge, classroom, etc.), one 8-foot table, two chairs, and at least one electrical outlet available on each scheduled date. It is the responsibility of the student vendor to provide any surge protectors or any other special needs for the scheduled dates.
The Vice President for Student Development/Dean of Students, or their designee, must approve all advance promotional material at least five business days prior to the scheduled date and the student vendor must abide by all Keuka College posting policies. The student vendor is not allowed to promote or advertise the vendor opportunity via the Keuka College email system. There is no door-to-door solicitation on the Keuka College campus.
