Part I: Reservation Rules

  1. Reservations are first-come, first-serve if the reservations follow this rule.
    • Exception: events sponsored by MacGregor HouseComm or the House Team may override existing reservations, moving them to other times or rooms. If this happens, the resident will be contacted as early as possible to initiate negotiations, and we are open to alternative arrangements.
  2. Reservations have priority over walk-ins.
  3. Reservations can only be made by a current MacGregor resident, who became the sponsor for the reservation.
  4. Reservations should be made between 48 hours to 2 weeks prior to the event. Reservations made earlier or later than the period is not accepted.
  5. Provide an alternative contact for groups larger than 5 people.
