STEP 3. Reserve lodging if needed. The GUEST HOUSE sets aside rooms for users during peak demand periods at Stanford. Identify yourself as a user and ask to be waitlisted for rooms that become available. Consider alternate lodging if the Guest House is not available.
STEP 4. Unless you were issued an ID after September 2015, upon your first visit to SLAC stop first at the VUE Center to obtain an ID badge and/or proximity access. Your ID badge must be visible at all times during your visit and is required for entry at SLAC's automated gates.
-
Badges must be worn and visible at all times.

If you do not plan to return to SLAC, drop off your ID badge with URA or Security before you depart.
-
Dosimeters are only issued for users working with Radioactive Materials or in an Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA). Return issued dosimeters at the conclusion of your experiment.
-
Temporary Badges: Visitors who are not participating in user experiments may get a temporary badge from security if they have an escort with valid training for short tours, meetings or visits. Escorts must: 1) take full responsibility for the safety of their visitor, 2) go only to designated areas and 3) remain within 'visual contact' of their visitor at all times within the Accelerator area (visitors will only be permitted through SLAC security gates when accompanied by their escort).
