Facilities
Moosetime
Dunster room reservations are handled online by the Moosetime system. Rooms can only be reserved by Dunster affiliates and reservations are approved on an individual basis by Nora Dahl.
Dunster Common Areas
TV Room
In addition to cable television, the TV room features a DVD/VCR player and is comfortably furnished. The large, widescreen television is perfect for watching a great movie or the big game (when the Sox are in the playoffs, expect to find half the House inside). The TV room may be reserved by signing up on the house scheduler at http://dunster.harvard.edu/scheduler. Note: the TV does not support video games.
Function Rooms
The Dining Hall, the Junior Common Room, the Small Dining Room, the Senior Common Room, and the Seminar Rooms are the major function rooms in the House. Their use will normally be limited to House members. The regular hours for these rooms are as follows:
| Room | Hours |
|---|---|
| JCR | open until 11 p.m., except by pre-arrangement |
| SCR | restricted for tutor reservation only |
| Dining Hall | open all night for studying |
| SDR | open until 11 p.m., except by pre-arrangement |
| F-15 SR | open until 11 p.m., except by pre-arrangement |
| C-entry SR | open until 11 p.m., except by pre-arrangement |
Capacity is limited to 75 people in the JCR and 35 people in the SDR.
Common rooms may be reserved by Dunster residents only using the online scheduler. Common rooms must be reserved in advance at http://dunster.harvard.edu/scheduler. You can also access the scheduler through the main Dunster web page by clicking on Moosetime. Please note that priority will be given to tutor and Master scheduled meetings and events. Every effort will be made to avoid conflicts. When possible, alternative common space will be offered.
The person or organization making the reservation will be responsible for clean-up and for any damage to the room. Clean-up should commence immediately following the event. All trash must be appropriately disposed of and furniture returned to the original configuration.
Dining hall use must be scheduled and approved through the Assistant to the Masters. If approved, the responsible individual must secure and fill out the necessary party forms for both Dunster House AND Harvard College. They must meet with the Dining Hall Manager and the Building Manager to discuss use of the room, furniture moving, cleaning, etc. A deposit is required.
Alcohol is not permitted in House common spaces except for pre-approved House events. Outside photographers are not to be given entry or permitted to take photographs anywhere in Dunster or any Harvard undergraduate house.

House Email Lists
Dunster has two email lists.
Moose-droppings is an open, informal, student-run email list with moderate traffic. To subscribe or unsubscribe, visit the list info page.
Dunster-official is the official list used for important House-wide announcements by House Masters, Staff, and Tutors. Dunster-official is very low-traffic. The list is moderated -- only House staff can post (students should use moose-droppings or contact their favorite tutor to see if their message is appropriate for distribution via the official list).
