To request keys or card access to a MatSE facility, please complete the following:
- Complete the MatSE Safety Exam. According to MatSE policy, all students, and any staff who may be working in a lab are required to pass the department safety exam before we can grant access to any of the department labs, which includes the computer lab. You can prepare for the exam by reading the department safety manual. When you are comfortable with the material, please contact safety@matse.psu.edu for instructions on completing the exam. It is the obligation of students and staff to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working and to be proactive in identifying areas of safety concern wherever they exist in the department. This is required prior to receiving keys or lab access.
- Complete a key request form (2 pages) available here: Key Request Form, including signatures from any applicable advisers. Send your completed form with signatures to matseaccess@ems.psu.edu. Any keys provided MUST be returned to the department upon exit or completion of your program.
