Overview

Process

This service is designed for faculty members teaching academic courses and in need of creating accounts for their classes at the beginning of each semester. Faculty interested in requesting support for their academic course on Research Computing’s systems are encouraged to fill out the account request form.

To complete the request, please provide basic information about your academic course and a class roster in either .csv, Excel, or text file format, including the first and last names of your students, as well as their ASURITE IDs. Once submitted, a member of our team will reach out to assist with your request.

Please be aware that the class account created is temporary and will only be active for the duration of your course. After your course concludes, the class account will be archived, and your students will have limited access to Research Computing’s systems. This archival process will not affect students who already have an account with Research Computing. If there are specific students you wish to sponsor for continued access to these systems, we are more than happy to work with you.

The purpose of archiving these accounts is to ensure continuous sponsorship of students on our systems, with utilization solely for sponsored academic and research activities.

Shared data

A 100 GiB shared data storage directory will be made available to each class. This directory will be accessible to both the instructor and the students associated with the class accounts.

The location of the directory will be: '/data/courses/<year>/<class>'
