Scheduling

1. Scheduling of equipment in the Microscopy Core Facility should be done through the on-line scheduling page.

2. Scheduling of each piece of equipment is restricted to those who have permission to use that equipment (each scheduling page is password protected)

3. Scheduling is on a first-come first-served basis so plan ahead.

4. Only under extenuating circumstances will staff step in and over-ride time that has already been scheduled.

5. If there is a time conflict, please go to the user that has scheduled the time and see if you can come to an agreement that allows both access, if at all possible. Do not come to the staff first.

6. Do not sign up for time and not use it. if one does not show up for time they have reserved they will be charged for that time.

Make sure to modify or delete your reservation if you cannot make it or if you will be late. If you do not make the changes more than 3 hours before your scheduled start time you will be charged.

Also if you are more than 30 minutes late for a scheduled time, that time can be reassigned to someone else needing access to that equipment.

7. Do not use your identity to sign up for another user. This will result in loss of scheduling privileges.
