All laws of the State of New Jersey and the City of  Newark regarding alcohol use will be strictly enforced. 

All student groups, non-NJIT groups, faculty and administrative groups must have written permission to serve or sell alcoholic beverages anywhere on the NJIT campus.  The Dean of Student Services, or designee may only grant written   permission. 

An applicant for written permission to serve or sell alcoholic beverages must be a member of the faculty or staff of NJIT and be over 21 years of age.  The applicant must complete a request form which can be obtained from the Dean of Student Services Office or Hazell Center Registration Office.  The applicant must agree in writing to be personally responsible for supervising the implementation of alcoholic beverages laws and university regulations, including those concerning proof of age and service to inebriated persons.  The applicant must also agree to be present during the entire event.  A charge will be assessed for university Public Safety Officers, who must be present at student events at which alcohol is served.  Public Safety must be notified at least one week in advance of each event. 

Only persons of legal drinking age will be permitted to attend student events at which alcoholic beverages are served or sold.  Proof of age is required at each such event to ensure compliance with State laws. 

No alcohol may be served during the last half-hour of a student event lasting more than three hours. 

Non-alcoholic beverages and food must also be available at all events, at which alcohol is served or sold. 

Sale - The State defines the term sale to include any kind of charge, donation, exchange, etc., for any part of the event. 

Student Events: Beer and wine are the only alcoholic beverages permissible for sale,  and the Pub must be the seller.  The Pub's liquor liability insurance can be extended to  cover student events only if Pub employees are used.

(Without liability coverage provided by the Pub's insurance, others could be liable for injury or damages as a consequence of consumption of  alcohol at student events).

Non-Student Events: Applications for permission to sell alcoholic beverages must be  processed by the Dean of Student Services Office.  Non-student groups wishing to sell alcoholic beverages must obtain a permit of sale (24-hour permit). New Jersey law   permits only 25 permits of sale in one calendar year to any one premise. (For the  purposes of sale of alcoholic beverages, all university buildings and grounds taken together  constitute a single premise).  Information relative to the securing of 24 hour permits  is available in the  Dean of   Student Services Office. 

Non-student groups who wish to serve (not sell) alcoholic beverages must complete a registration to serve alcoholic beverages form and file the form with the Dean of Student Services Office.  These forms are also available in the Hazell Center/Reservation Office. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology does not sanction, and is not responsible for alcohol use that takes place off   campus.
