== Authorization ==
   −
How to get authorized: contact the [email protected] and a laser volunteer will contact you to setup a time.
+
Authorization for the laser is not virtual, meaning you must fill out this [https://forms.gle/9HSYAVLtJuPLWixXA Sign Up Form] to schedule an onsite authorization.
 +
 
 +
The laser volunteers will be notified automatically after the form is submitted. You will then be contacted when the next authorization is scheduled. (approx. every 2 weeks at the authorizers discretion)
 +
 
 +
If no authorizations are scheduled in the next 30 days, then post on #lasers slack channel; look for a recent thread about laser authorizations and post there.
 +
 
 +
Please review the wiki and the reference materials before attending an authorization.
 +
 
 +
If you have other questions after the reviewing the wiki and reaching out on #lasers slack channel please contact [email protected]
