Scan Time Overruns

Purpose

This page describes the IRC's policy on overruns of reserved time for billed resources

Users who have a valid reservation on the scheduling system for a particular resource have the authority to assume control at the reserved starting time. Anyone using the resource at that time must immediately vacate upon request of IRC staff or the rightful user.
The Operational Administrator will conduct routine spot audits of the scanner usage logs to ensure compliance with allotted scan times. Any scans that overrun the reserved time will be retroactively charged for the extra time, and will be subject to action under the provisions of IRC policies.
Scan time overruns are not exempt from this policy, regardless of cause.
