Getting Started
Create an Account
Fill out the account request form on the TACC Account Management Portal and it will be reviewed by our User Services team.
Faculty, professional research staff, and postdoctoral researchers may request Principle Investigator (PI) eligibility for their account. PIs are responsible for requesting system allocations and managing their team.
Graduate and undergraduate students can create an account, but must be added to allocations by PIs to use the systems.
Create AccountRequest an Allocation
To access a system, you must request through an allocation opportunity.
