Students can qualify for internal (lower) rates when a faculty member sponsors the project and agrees to serve as a project and budgeting mentor. Without a faculty mentor, students are billed at external rates (per R/PPS No. 3.06). Personal use by faculty or staff is always considered external usage.

Stage 1 — Request your course account

  1. First time user - Go to fom.engineering.txstate.edu and login with your TXST NetID
    1. Discipline: Select the option that most closely matches your field or intended use of the makerspace
