-====== Getting Set Up ====== 
  
-===== UC Berkeley ID Card and Email ===== 
-To get your UC Berkeley ID Card, you need to go to the Cal 1 Card office in the Cesar Chavez Student Center in Lower Sproul Plaza. [[http://services.housing.berkeley.edu/c1c/static/gettingcard.htm|Here]] is their website. You will need your driver's license and know your student ID number. You will also want to get a 'classpass' which is a sticker on your ID card that allows you to ride AC Transit (the bus system in the area) for free. You can get this sticker in the first week of the semester. 
- 
-You should have received your student ID number and passphrase already. You may already have an account, otherwise you will need to create one. Just go to the [[https://calmail.berkeley.edu/|calmail website]] and log in with your student ID and passphrase. 
- 
-===== Registering for Classes ===== 
-To register for classes, go [[https://telebears.berkeley.edu/telebears/home|here]]. You will need to sign in with your CALNET ID and passphrase. You can find the schedule of classes [[http://schedule.berkeley.edu/|here]]. Also, check out [[course enrollment guide|this page]] for information on choosing courses. 
- 
-===== Astronomy Department Computer Stuff ===== 
-You will need to see Bill Boyd to get an astronomy department account. This account will  
-  * allow you to log onto department machines (ie. for fast computing, try lupus or beast) 
-  * give you 5 GB of space in your home directory on ''/o/'' 
-  * give you a directory on ''/pharlap1/'' for more space if you need it 
-  * give you astro.berkeley.edu email addresses, which will be forwarded to whatever email address you specify. By default you get ''username@astro.berkeley.edu'' as well as ''(first initial)(last name)@astro.berkeley.edu''. 
- 
-For printing, check out [[http://astro.berkeley.edu/resources/computing/printing.html|this page]]

- 
-===== Office and Keys ===== 
-To get your office assignment, talk to Nina Ruymaker in rm. 653. Nina can also get you keys to the office and to the building or, if she's not around, Dexter Stewart (rm. 611) can. 
- 
-===== Getting Paid ===== 
-If you have an outside source of funding (scholarship, fellowship, etc.) make sure to let Dexter Stewart (rm. 611) know ASAP.  
- 
-If you are teaching (which should be most of you), you should receive a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) Contract via email from Dexter a few weeks before the semester starts. Once you have replied to Dexter saying you accept the contract, you should get an email from El Hoffmann (613) who will get you set up in terms of payroll. 
- 
-Make sure to inquire about withholding for Federal and state taxes.  Much of our pay (fellowships, in particular) do not have automatic withholding, and if you don't withhold extra during the year, you'll end up with a hefty penalty come tax time.  Talk to El Hoffman about this. 
- 
-You'll also need to sign up for EFT (electronic funds transfer), which you can do [[https://eftstudent.berkeley.edu/|by clicking here]].  The account you link to your EFT will receive all paychecks, reimbursements, and other Berkeley-related deposits. It is unclear at this time whether this covers everything. Dexter has been told by the university that students should sign up for direct deposit through [[http://blu.berkeley.edu/|blu]].
