Reservation Checklist
The following items are required in making a reservation for Spaghetti Night:
 * List of Commuter Members - FSA is a cultural organization dominated by commuter members who are regularly not permitted to enter the residence halls without a resident host. Residence halls generally allow commuter dominated organizations like FSA to host events within the residence halls provided that the list of all commuter members are provided to the Residence Coordinator of the building. This is done for security reasons as well as to minimize the liability towards the residence hall as well as FSA in the occasion an incident takes place involving a commuter within the residence hall at the time of the event. Additionally, the names of any non-NJIT students who will be participating in Spaghetti night must be included in this list as well.
 * Lounge Reservation Form - Lounges must be reserved at least two weeks before the event to prevent conflicts with other students who wish to use these lounges. This can be done in the hall office of each residence hall.
