McGill University requires that at least one Event Coordinator and all event servers at all student events attend a three-hour Server Training session.听 This applies to ALL STUDENT EVENTS held on campus involving alcohol. The University will not issue alcohol permits or book an event and/or book a room听until this training is complete, so if you're planning a party you will want to be trained well in advance.听 Server Training Badges must be worn by servers at all times they are serving alcohol at on-campus events. You will receive your badge at the session you attend.
