1. Getting an account

Anyone with a valid UCInetID can have an account.
There is no cost for a user to obtain an account on HPC3 cluster.

  1. Please send email (from your UCInetID email) to hpc-support@uci.edu and provide:

    • Your name

    • Your UCInetID (different from student ID)

    • Optionally,

      If you are affiliated with a PI lab and want to use PI lab resources you need to check with your PI what resources are available to the group (some PIs don’t have all resources) and need to specify what resources you are requesting, for a reference see:

      You must cc your email to your PI. We will need a confirmation from your PI to add you to the lab resources access and cc keeps everything on the same ticket for simplicity.

  2. The email opens a ticket in our ticketing system. Once your account is created you will be notified by email.

  3. After you get a confirmation email about your account being created please review:

Attention

Your account is your UCInetID (lower case alphanumeric)
Your password is your regular password that you use for your UCInetID
We do not store, handle or reset passwords for UCInetIDs.

2. Closing an account

For as long as you have a valid UCInetID and you use your account it remains active. When you separate from UCI your UCInetID will become inactive some time after the separation.

The accounts are closed when one of the following is true:

  • Your account has no activity for 1 year.

  • When your UCInetID loses student status. Most student alumni keep student status for up to 1 year after the graduation.

  • When your UCInetID loses staff/researcher/PI affiliation.
