CLEANUP FEE: When members no longer need access to the NFC labs, they are expected to complete a short checkout procedure, which includes removing any materials they own from the lab. Failure to clean out your stuff when you leave the lab may incur a $200 cleanup fee if NFC staff have to take care of it for you.
STOPPING AND RESTARTING LAB ACCESS: Lab members who suspend or terminate their lab access and need to restart it will be charged the startup fee again.
