Berkeley Survival Manual & Guides

The N3AS offices are located on the University of California, Berkeley, campus. The Berkeley campus is easily accessible via BART and buses, such as AC Transit.

This document below was created by Roia Ferrazares, Director of Administration for the UC Berkeley Physics Department, as a Welcome Guide to orient new faculty to various Berkeley systems. It is a good resource for N3AS Fellows, faculty, and visitors seeking information on issues like Cal 1 Cards, training requirements, Berkeley email, code-of-conduct and DE&I issues, UC benefits, and things to do while in Berkeley.
