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]].

VPN and W&M Email:

Affiliates do not get access to the W&M VPN or W&M email. If these are needed, please mention this in the "Comments" section of the affiliate request.

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."

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