Short -Term Vending

Welcome Vendors

Are you interested in short-term vending opportunities at N.C. A&T State University? Whether you are looking to sell, distribute, or promote products or services, Campus Enterprises oversees all vending operations on campus and can help you secure the proper permits and approvals.

University departments, student organizations, and outside vendors are required to receive advance approval from Campus Enterprises before vending on campus. Permits are only issued when all necessary documents, licenses, and payments are submitted and approved.

Any vendor using the university’s name, logo, or trademarks must be licensed through the Learfield Licensing Group (CLC). For licensing information, contact CLC at (770) 956-0520 or visit: https://clc.com/home/get-licensed
