Conflicts / Walkup Guidance

  1. Courtesy pays - communicate with other users.
  2. Same day reservations can be made - "walk-up" use is fine, but go ahead and reserve the time so others can see that the instrument is in use.
  3. If you arrive for your reserved time and previous user has not finished - try to resolve politely. If needed contact facility director.
  4. Please report scheduling abuses to the NMR Staff. 

Abuses

Reduction of privileges at the facility director's discretion will occur upon any of the following:

  1. Repeated failures to cancel unneeded time.
  2. "Gaming" the system by making reservations for someone else - each user must make and use their own appointment reservations.
  3. Failure to rapidly report abnormal instrument or lab conditions to NMR Staff.
