HPC Accounts for External Collaborators

Note to sponsors from Arts & Sciences requesting affiliate accounts for external collaborators: please check with your department before submitting an request as additional forms may be needed before the account can be requested.

If you already have a W&M Username, you can request an HPC account now. Since external collaborators do not already have W&M Usernames, an external collaborator's William & Mary sponsor must first request an affiliate W&M Username for their collaborator using Request IT (see below). Once the collaborator receives their W&M Username and password, the collaborator must then use them to request HPC access.

The affiliate account form in Request IT is only to request the prerequisite W&M Username. An HPC account will not be created or renewed without the collaborator filling out the (separate) HPC account request form, and HPC-specific requests, such as for access to chinook, must be sent to [[w|hpc-help]].

IMPORTANT: VPN and W&M Email

Affiliates do not get access to the W&M VPN or W&M email by default.

Requesting an affiliate W&M Username:

Go to Request IT and sign in.
Select "Service Catalog," then "Accounts, Access & Security."
Select "Affiliate/Contractor," then "Request Affiliate."
Fill out and submit the Affiliate/Contractor Account form. In "Comments," enter "affiliate account for HPC access." Be sure to request an email box by checking the box on the "Work Address" page.

Please send email to [[w|hpc-help]] if there are any questions about this.
