Who can get an account on blue, the CS UNIX server?

Accounts on the Computer Science Department UNIX server are available to:

• Computer Science majors
• Computer Science minors
• Students taking certain Computer Science classes which require the use of UNIX
• Students sponsored by a faculty member of the Computer Science department or by the system administrator
• Staff sponsored by a faculty member of the Computer Science department or by the system administrator

Accounts issued to students majoring in Computer Science are automatically renewed as long as the student remains in the major. Account expirations are set just enough in the future so that a student can leave for one semester and return to school without having their account disappear. Accounts issued to other students require renewal.
