Check-In Requirements

On arrival at BNL, users must check in at the following locations. 

Gate Access at BNL Entrance

New users and users with expired appointments (see date at bottom of your ID card) will need to provide their name and institution to the guard at the BNL entrance gate. It is strongly recommended that you arrive only on a normal working day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to avoid delays or the possibility of being asked to return during normal working hours to finalize your appointment.

Users with active badges will need to present their BNL Photo Identification Badge.

Housing Check-In

If you have housing reservations, proceed to the appropriate housing check-in location:

  • Users arriving Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to midnight) or Sunday (4 p.m. to midnight) should proceed to the Housing Office in Building 400.


  • Users arriving all other times (including holidays) should proceed to Police Headquarters in Building 50.

Guest, User, and Visitor (GUV) Center Check-In

New users and users with expired appointments must arrive at the GUV Center on normal workdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to finalize their appointment and verify identification documents. You will not be permitted access to the NSLS during evening and weekend hours until your appointment is finalized and you receive a valid BNL ID badge.

Users with active badges and current training may access the NSLS experimental floor at any time during normal operations.

Radiation Dosimeters are no longer necessary for short-term users of the NSLS. Long-term (more than 60 days in a year) users of the NSLS and all users of the Source Development Laboratory must obtain a radiation dosimeter (also known as TLDs). TLDs may be obtained from the GUV Center Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., User Administration Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or from an Operations Coordinator in the NSLS Control Room at any other time. Training must be current and you must possess a valid BNL ID badge.
