Reserving Equipment in the Scheduler But Not Using the Equipment

Reserving equipment in the Scheduler, but not using the equipment for the time scheduled

Penalty: Suspension.

First Offense: Suspended until user meets with the cleanroom manager.

Second and Subsequent Offenses within 7 days: Suspended from the cleanroom for 3 days. There will be no penalty if a user cancels his/her reservation before his/her scheduled time.

The Scheduler system allows users to reserve equipment inside the cleanroom. Some of the machines are booked 24/7. Due to heavy traffic for using the equipment inside the cleanroom, it is unlawful to reserve any equipment inside the cleanroom and not use it within the reserved time.

Users must arrive at the equipment site promptly, as a delay of greater than 15 minutes will count as a "no-show".

If a user realizes that he/she will not require to use the equipment he/she reserved, the reservation must be cancelled before the hour it is reserved for. It is encouraged that users cooperatively share equipment usage time.
