Tabling Policies

Tabling Policies

Yale-affiliated organizations only.

Any Yale-affiliated organization that plans to submit a tabling request must be registered with the appropriate office.

  • Student organizations must be registered with Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, a professional school, or the Office of the Secretary.
  • Non-student organizations (staff and faculty groups or private nonprofit organizations) must have permission from the Office of the Secretary.

The criteria for granting permission are based on the following conditions:

  • Tabling can be accommodated in the Rotunda, or on the lower level near Lego Avenue and the Hewitt Quadrangle staircase. YSC will provide up to 2 tables and 6 chairs for one group. The group must not leave the table unattended during their reservation and cannot move the table to a different area.
  • The group is responsible for cleaning up after their allotted time. The walls must remain free and clear of any materials.
  • Fundraising, solicitations, and financial transactions are allowed, but cash transactions are not permitted.
  • A group may not solicit, sell, or table for more than 10 days within a thirty-day period. Any request over this amount will not be accepted.
  • Merchandise featuring the Yale logo must be pre-approved by Yale Trademark Licensing.
  • Yale Hospitality is the exclusive provider of food/beverages in the building. External food/beverages cannot be sold or distributed.
  • Memorial Hall and its outer hallways are a war memorial and a place of honor. Any activity taking place in the Rotunda must be considerate and respectful of others visiting the memorial. This includes keeping excess noise to a minimum. Live or recorded music is prohibited in the Rotunda and Memorial Hall.
  • Tabling activity must not block any egress and must leave sufficient room for passersby.

Any violation of these rules will result in suspension from future use of the space.
