User Rules:

  • Total Maximum booked Sessions are TWO (not including sessions in the current week). During any one week, users only book at most 1 day time session and one after-work-hour session. To book your sessions, please send an email to Tony Chen by z0chen09@louisville.edu.

  • Finishing Early : If you finish your session earlier, please notice to the next user on the booking sheet and Tony Chen.

  • Canceling Sessions : Cancellation of a session should not be later than 24 hours ahead of your reserved session.  The cancellation has to go through Tony Chen. Otherwise a late cancellation will cause to be charged to your account.

  • Late-Show : If you are more than 30 minutes late for a session, your session is forfeited and anyone may use the remainder of the session.  This session will be considered a No-Show.

  • No-Show : If you do not show up for your scheduled sessions, your access to schedule the instrument WILL be revoked for 3 months. Further violations may result in your access to the TEM to be revoked or other disciplinary actions.

  • Empty Sessions in the current week :  Users may book any available session or part of a session in the current week regardless of their other bookings. Users may use these late-show and no-show sessions regardless of their other bookings.

  • Others: Giving your reserved time to another user may be considered a violation of these rules.

  • Special Projects: Special projects can be given additional consideration. Contact Tony Chen to request special consideration. Over booking must be approved by the staff or director.

  • Off campus users: Off campus users who visit less often than once every four weeks may prebook an entire four weeks worth of time (6 sessions-at most 4 being prime time sessions) into one visit. The currently booked visit must be used before the next can be scheduled. Users who visit more often than once every four weeks will be treated as local users.
