1. To obtain preferred user status, a $ 2000 deposit must be made prior to use.
2. Three days of training at the preferred user rate per $ 2000 deposit are given to enable users to work independently on the probe (i.e. evening shifts ). If more training time is required or multiple users are to be trained, the standard university rate of $ 300/shift will be charged.
3. Each preferred user account may only be used by one principle user (e.g. one researcher, and his/her students).
4. If a user does not make a $ 2000 deposit, but uses over $ 2000 of probe time in one year then the $ 2000 will be considered an initial deposit for preferred user status, with probe charges calculated retroactively at a preferred user rate.
5. If an account has a balance of less than $ 1000 for over one year it loses preferred user status, and future work will be charged at regular university rates.
6. In case there is busy probe time or there is laboratory class, the manager of the microprobe laboratory may ask the people who booked more than three weekdays in one month to give up their extra probe time.
