<small>Announcing - New Electronic Process for Returning Foreign
National User Badge Activation<br>
<br>
Currently, all returning foreign national users must notify <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jris@jlab.org">jris@jlab.org</a>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:jris@jlab.org"><mailto:jris@jlab.org></a>
by email and wait for an email response from JRIS for badge activation
of an upcoming visit. In order to streamline and make the process
easier for Users, we are working on an online electronic process for
the badge activation notification and completion of the Visit Form.
<br>
<br>
The new process will allow all to be completed online including
upcoming visit notifications to JRIS, confirmation email notifications
to the Users, current upcoming visit dates in JList for the badge
activation, training status information, JLab department/division
notification of upcoming User visit.
<br>
<br>
Please stay tuned for upcoming emails announcing the rollout of this
new streamlined process.
