NFC Lab - New Member Instructions

The New Member Process -

Members may now complete the application for a Badger Lab Management Software account online. Keep in mind that this is only an application for an account. You will still need to submit any appropriate forms as well as complete safety and equipment training before you can actually reserve and enable equipment.

Form Instructions -

UMN community members must use their official UMN email account (firstname.lastname@umn.edu) to minimize delays in processing. This will be your fully qualified Badger account name. When logging in UMN members need only enter firstname.lastname - others must enter their entire email address.

Required fields are denoted with an asterisk. Once completed, submit the form by selecting "Set Password." Any field which is in error will be shown in red and should be corrected. Once a password has been set the account moves to the review process. You will receive an email once the account has been approved. A few fields on the form are explained below.

Email - firstname.lastname@umn.edu for UMN affiliates. Others should use their university or business email.

Account number-

• University of Minnesota users: enter your EFS budget chart string
• External academic users: enter “external-academic”
• Industry users: enter “industry”

Advisor- Enter your advisor or, for industrial users, enter your company name.

Once your application is approved you will receive a confirmation email. Any qualifications from the previous system will need to be added before you can begin using Badger to reserve and enable equipment.
