The Auxiliary Services Department of Darton College is comprised of the Darton College Bookstore, Vending, Food service establishments, catering, and Student Transportation units.

Units are either owned and operated by Darton College and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, or services are contracted to private businesses. There is no privatization of services at Darton. All units operate independently of each other. It is the responsibility of the Auxiliary Services Manager and Assistant Manager to see that all units function properly and within the rules and regulations set forth by the State of Georgia.

No student, state, or federal funding is allocated to operate any of the auxiliary units. These units must be self-sufficient. They must operate as any other small business being sure that the profit and loss statement each month does not indicate a deficit balance in operations.

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia mandates that all auxiliary units place in reserve five (5) percent of all revenues in an equipment replacement reserve account. These funds must be used to replace any equipment, to include computers, cash registers, grills, fryers, etc. No state or federal funds may be used to purchase any product or equipment that is considered a part of the auxiliary operation. Another three (3) percent of all revenue is deducted to defray indirect expenses of the units. This includes rental of the building, utilities, and maintenance staff support. At the end of each fiscal year an amount equal to the inventories of all of these units is placed in an inventory reserve account. This must be done to have money in reserve to replace the inventory in the event a catastrophe occurs and the inventory is destroyed. The cost of all products, books, etc., plus salaries and fringe benefits, and operating supplies must also be paid from revenue generated from the sale of products in auxiliary services.
