Guests and Visiting Groups
Non-Scientists and Students (Guests, Alumni and Visiting Groups)
Non-scientists and students (Guests, Alumni and Visiting Groups): RMBL charges a 25% surcharge on station fees and housing for anybody who is not a scientist (defined as someone who has an approved research application or is a visiting scientist), a research assistant, a student, staff member, or an immediate family member (partner, parent, or child) of a scientist, research assistant, student, or staff member. In 2012, station fees for guests, alumni, and visiting groups will be $20.30 per person per day (the 25% surcharge in 2012 on the RMBL $16.25/day station fee is $4.05, which equals $20.30/day).
Please use our online Guest Registration Form for guests, alumni and visiting groups.
The day use fee for guests who wish to shower, dispose of trash, or use computers at RMBL (but do not stay overnight) is $9.00/day.
There is a maximum limit of 160 people living at the RMBL on a daily basis, which includes guests, so it is possible that permission for guests will be denied.
Anyone who has an unregistered guest will pay a $50 penalty, and the guest may be asked to leave. You are responsible for your guests’ fees, as well as making certain they leave a clean living space. If a surprise guest arrives, email or leave a note in the office ASAP for the Director of Finance and Operations.
