Computing
Visit UIT for computer support. They can help you order computers, set up your email, etc…
You need to sign up for an exchange account and a science account and forward your exchange stuff to science. Exchange gives you a voicemail and calendar, Science gives you more space for your actual emails.
Best to go visit COSINE and have them set this up as there are interesting features in forwarding from exchange to science.
Safety
You need to - at the minimum - do safety awareness for non-lab employees. If you are using labs/equipment, visit the department safety page.
Keys
The Dept. Admin Assistant will get you key authorization, you then walk that over to get your actual key. Faculty need the “faculty master” and a building key.
