## Accounts for a Class

Please email the [Help Desk](mailto:[email protected]?subject=[HPC]) with the
following information:
Accounts for classes are required to use [ColdFront](https://hpcaccess.smu.edu).
Instructors of record will be able to see their courses around the time registration
opens. ColdFront will automatically add and remove students enrolled in the course
shortly before the start of the term and periodically update during the term based on
official enrollment data.

- Course number(s)
- Coure title
- If needed, details for class shared directory including who should have write
permissions.
See the [ColdFront quick start guide for instructors](coldfront/qs_instructor.md) and

## Accounts for Individuals with an SMU ID

Most benefits eligible faculty and staff can use the self-service
[ColdFront](https://hpcaccess.smu.edu) platform to create an account.
In order for an HPC account to be provisioned for a new user,

1. The user must create or be added to a project in [ColdFront](https://hpcaccess.smu.edu).
See [how to create a project](coldfront/add_change_project.md)

2. The user must be on an active compute and/or storage allocation managed
by [ColdFront](https://hpcaccess.smu.edu). See [how to create an allocation](coldfront/add_change_allocation.md)

While we transition to [ColdFront](https://hpcaccess.smu.edu) (see the [frequently asked questions](coldfront/faq.md)), it is still possible to request that an account be manually created:

- SMU faculty/staff can request an account by filling out the [New
