New equipment reservation procedure in effect
In an effort to better serve our customers, CMIF has switched to an online Lab Management system for equipment reservations, training requests, and billing. Through this system, users can request training, schedule all CMIF equipment, and monitor student usage and spending on their projects. All reservations for use of CMIF equipment after August 31, 2017 must be made through the Lab Management portal. Please see our user guide and the Lab Management resource page for more detailed instructions.
