935+
936+ \noindent \textbf {WiFi: } We recommend using
937+ \href {https://wifi.dartmouth.edu}{eduroam} as your primary wireless
938+ network. Eduroam is encrypted and works at other participating
939+ institutions worldwide. You can find setup instructions at
940+ \href {https://wifi.dartmouth.edu}{wifi.dartmouth.edu}. Note that
941+ eduroam is required for accessing printing services and file servers.
942+ Dartmouth Public is available as an unencrypted fallback option, but
943+ should only be used by guests.
944+
945+ \noindent \textbf {Printers: } Dartmouth uses the GreenPrint system for
946+ printing. You can use Web Print at
947+ \href {https://greenprint.dartmouth.edu}{greenprint.dartmouth.edu} to
948+ print from any public computer. For detailed printer setup
949+ instructions, see
950+ \href {https://www.library.dartmouth.edu/research-create/print}{the
951+ library's printing guide}. The nearest printer to our lab is
952+ located in Moore Hall, in the tunnel outside Filene Auditorium (offers
953+ black-and-white printing, both single and double-sided). For a
954+ complete list of printer locations across campus, visit
955+ \href {https://services.dartmouth.edu/TDClient/1806/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=64758}{Dartmouth's
956+ printer location guide}. For poster printing, see the Poster
957+ printing section elsewhere in this manual.

959+ \newthought {International student considerations}
960+
961+ \noindent Visa requirements vary widely depending on your country of origin,
962+ visa category, and other factors. These requirements also change
963+ frequently, so it is important to stay informed about the latest policies
964+ and how they may affect your work in the lab. Some areas that may be
965+ affected include:
966+
967+ \begin {itemize }
968+ \item \textbf {Ability to volunteer: } Some visa categories prohibit unpaid
969+ work, which may affect your ability to volunteer in the lab.
970+ \item \textbf {In-person vs.\ remote work requirements: } Some visas may
971+ require you to be physically present at \ourschool , while others may
972+ allow remote work.
973+ \item \textbf {Payment or course credit eligibility: } Your visa category may
974+ affect whether you can receive payment for your work or whether you need
975+ to receive course credit instead.
976+ \item \textbf {Eligibility for certain funded projects: } Some projects (e.g.,
977+ those funded by the Department of Defense) may require US citizenship or
978+ security clearance, which may limit your ability to work on those
979+ projects.
980+ \end {itemize }
981+
982+ \noindent Some workarounds that have been successful for international
983+ students in the past include:
984+
985+ \begin {itemize }
986+ \item \textbf {Course credit: } Enrolling in independent studies or thesis
987+ projects to receive course credit for your work in the lab.
988+ \item \textbf {Grants: } Applying for leave-term or on-term grants through
989+ \href {https://students.dartmouth.edu/ugar/}{UGAR} (Undergraduate Advising
990+ and Research) or the
991+ \href {https://neukom.dartmouth.edu/}{Neukom Institute}.
992+ \end {itemize }
993+
994+ \noindent If you are a visiting scholar, please consult with
995+ \href {https://ovis-intl.dartmouth.edu/}{OVIS} (Office of Visa and
996+ Immigration Services) about your specific situation and how it may affect
997+ your work in the lab.
998+
999+ \noindent We strongly recommend that all international students consult with
1000+ \href {https://ovis-intl.dartmouth.edu/}{OVIS} before joining the lab to
1001+ understand any potential restrictions or requirements that may apply to
1002+ your situation. This is especially important for first-year international
1003+ students, who may have fewer options if they cannot sign up for independent
1004+ studies.
