Events & Forms

 In order to foster a vibrant social community, the Leverett House team encourages gathering together and understands that social gatherings and events are part of the college experience. With that in mind, we wish to support you and make sure you stay safe while having a good time. We ask that, if you plan to host an event, you observe the following rules. 

  • All gatherings of 13 or more people need to be registered and approved. This applies to concerts, performances, forums, film screenings, meetings, workshops, exhibitions, social gatherings, parties, etc. Please use the following link to review the guidelines and complete the registration form.  CLICK HERE
  • In addition to filling out the form, reserve space for your activities and events via RoomBook. Reservations are subject to approval. 
  • You must also meet with the tutor on call at least 24 hours in advance of the proposed gathering.
  • End your event by 11 p.m. (Sun-Thurs) or 2 a.m. (Fri-Sat), to respect the House quiet hours. Note that events held on Fridays and Saturdays in the Library Theater must end by 12 am. 

Additional policies for parties or events at which alcohol is served: 

  • Know and abide by Massachusetts Law and Harvard College rules governing alcohol and entertainment.
  • Post signs stating that guests must be 21 to drink. Ensure that any guest not personally known to you to be 21 produces identification. Do not allow underage friends to drink alcohol.
  • Serve food and non-alcoholic alternatives.
  • Anticipate crashing by outsiders attracted by music or word of mouth. Ask friends to be ready to assist you in asking uninvited guests to leave. Discuss with the tutor on call what to do in the event that your party attracts too many people. Events must not spill out into the hallways, stairwells or courtyards. Please remind your guests to be quiet in these and all other public areas of the House.
  • Smoking is not permitted inside any Harvard College building. You are responsible for enforcing this rule during your event, and for responding promptly to any complaints from your neighbors about smoke.
  • Clean up. Collect and remove all trash, including anything in surrounding public areas, when your event ends. Also, please recycle your empties. 
  • Remember that you are responsible for your guests' safety and behavior. Please be aware of the College's Help-Seeking Policy, described in the Student Handbook: "Students seeking medical treatment for themselves or another person for the effects of drug or alcohol use will not be subject to disciplinary action from the College for violations pertaining to the use or provision of drugs or alcohol. Sources of help might include: HUHS or other medical providers; College residential life staff; and HUPD or other police or security officers." Please see the handbook for the full policy.
