Account Request Form for HMC Faculty and Staff

This form should be used to request new accounts for HMC faculty and staff. We can only honor account requests from department heads or department secretaries. Please be sure to fill in your name and email address since we will need this information to confirm your request.

There are multiple systems that you can request an account on:

• A Mailbox account is needed to use Email and Calendering. This account will nominally be created by default. This also creates a Central Mail entry.
• A Charlie account is needed to use the CIS file server, the CIS computer labs and to get access to any shared files and software on Charlie.
• The VMS cluster (Thuban) is used primarily for faculty and academic staff personnal web pages and to authorize the general use VPN.
• An account on Alice is needed to use the CIS administrative file server and to get access to any shared files and software on it. Administrative staff will need accounts on Alice.
• An HMCADM VMS account is needed for administrative staff to access the archival institutional databases.
• Odin is the CIS UNIX machine and is used primarily by students for e-mail.

New accounts will be ready in 48 hours. The new accounts can be picked up at our main office in Parsons 148. Only the person for whom the account was created can pick up the account and they should be prepared to show I.D. We will not give passwords over the phone or by email. They must be picked up in person. This restriction is to maintain the security of the account.

In order to create a new account on one of our systems Computing and Information Services needs some basic information about you and the person/people you are requesting the account for.
