Residence Dining Halls

• Registered MSU student organizations and University departments must request an information table with University Student Housing Life at least five (5) business days prior to the first day of tabling. University Student Housing reserves the right to deny information table requests that have not been submitted at least five (5) business days prior to the event.
• A solicitation form must be submitted for all requests by student organizations and university departments.
• Because of the popularity of tabling, and the possibility of multiple organizations wishing to table for the same reasons, tabling for one organization/department cannot occur more than two times per week and no more than a total of six times per semester. University Student Housing and Culinary Services reserves their right to restrict tabling to certain dates during the year.
• All requests are subject to approval and scheduled on a “first come, first serve” basis.
• Tabling will only be allowed at Miller Dining Hall (North & South entrances).
• All Registered Student Organizations and MSU Department must present the signed request form they received via email to the University Student Housing main office (located underneath Miller Dining Hall) M-F 7:45am-5:00 pm.
• Registered groups are expected to provide their own table and chairs. University Student Housing or Culinary Services staff will advise groups on the designated tabling locations.
• If tabling will occur during business hours, registered groups can request a table from University Student Housing. If available, the table will be checked out when the group arrives and must be returned before 5pm on the day of tabling. 
• The registered group’s name and purpose must be clearly stated and visible to students approaching that table.
• Approved groups or individuals are allowed to table no more than four hours per tabling opportunity. Tabling may not start before 8 am and must be completed by 7pm.
• Registered Student Organizations and/or MSU Departments are expected to remove any items including trash from the tabling location prior to leave. Items may not be stored overnight. 

The Registered Student Organization or University Department approved for an information table may not:

• Require students to stop at their table or physically attempt to stop them.
• Require students to give their room, hall or telephone number to receive information or qualify for raffles, drawings, etc. If students willingly give this information, the registered student organization or university department may not provide this information to any other party.
• Advertise or discuss alcohol, drugs, or tobacco with students.
• Leave their table and approach students in other areas of the dining hall.
• Call out to or harass students as they pass the table.
• Impede foot traffic through the entrance to the dining halls or create any safety hazard or blocked exit.
• Registered student organizations or departments that violate any University policy, and/or submit false information or misrepresentations in their requests and communications with any University personnel or resident, will be prohibited from future activities in any University Housing & Culinary Services areas and any permissions previously granted may be withdrawn.
