Site Access
If you are visiting SLAC for any purpose, please fill out the form at the SLAC Access Portal. The form will guide you through the process, starting with if you are attending a conference or all other visits. The 'other visits' include if you are going to be working at SLAC or just visiting a friend. The SLAC Access Portal will start the on-boarding process for subcontractors and other people who need system entry.
The SLAC ID badge provides identification of employees, scientific users, and contractors to the site during working and non-working hours and for access to the Accelerator Area at all times. A current SLAC ID badge is required for entry to the site unless specific entry information has been provided to the Gate Officers. ID is required at all times; during working hours, non-working hours, and on weekends and holidays.

Physically securing your computer, high value items, and personal belongings and property, locking your office when you will be away and keeping hand tools in a locked tool box or cabinet should be a high priority for everyone at SLAC. Know or find out who your computer administrator is to ask for additional information in securing your computers.
