Effective July 1, 2026, U-M’s business hosting limits have been updated based on university-wide survey feedback and spend data.
The updated limits apply per person, per day:
| Hosting Category | Limit | Update |
| Breakfast | $30 | None |
| Lunch | $50 | Increase |
| Dinner | $80 | Increase |
| Alcohol | $20 | None |
| Refreshments/Snacks | $30 | New limit |
In addition, hosting limits will now be applied to “Conference Planning” hosting expense types in Emburse Enterprise. To support a consistent naming convention, the “CP Beverages” expense type will also be renamed to “CP Refreshments/Snacks.”
