Alcohol Beverage Service Permits for School of Medicine and Public Health events
UW–Madison has an online system for alcohol beverage service permits. Alcohol Beverage Service Permits are required for alcohol service at all university events — both on and off campus — with exceptions for certain events as outlined in the UW–Madison-Specific Alcohol Beverage Regulations, Section II: 1-4. The permits are administered through University Health Services. Below is some information on the current alcohol permit system.
