Host expenditures may be incurred by or on behalf of employees or guests of the institution in conducting necessary business activities. Hosting must provide a benefit to the institution through the establishment of goodwill, promotion of programs, or the creation of opportunities in which the institution's mission may be advanced.
Host expenses are limited to:
- Meals/Food
- Beverages
- Flowers
- Small gifts
All essential expenditures and parts of a program, such as faculty and student recruitment activities, marketing, employee professional development, participant-funded events, and food supplied for academic programs, are standard operating expenses and not host expenditures. Please refer to TMCC host-related expenditures for more information.
This form is to request "pre-approval" to make a host purchase.
