  The Business & Finance Policy Office has made two clarification updates to policy 8.1.1 Business Meals, Food Supplies, and Alcohol:

  1. The information on the TCard Exception Form has been updated to state that if a vendor has an agreement with the system to be paid by TCard, an Exception Form is not needed. To find out if such a contract exists, please contact University Payables.
     
     
  2. Clarification has been made for catered meals that are (A) pre-made drop and go (e.g., boxed lunches, chafing dishes in buffet style) versus (B) meals wait-staffed by the vendor. The former (A) is considered a Business Meal, and the latter (B) is considered a Catered Event.
