Request an Instructional Allocation


For existing allocations, please enter your Grouper/MyGroup name in lowercase and with no spaces.
If you do not have an existing Grouper/MyGroup name for an allocation, the project PI must request one through this link.
Please note the following instructions before clicking on the link: To expedite the account creation, we recommend that you specify “This group will be used for Rivanna/Afton access” in the description section of the webform. You must add yourself as a member of the group. Otherwise, we will not be able to process this request.
Instructors are responsible for creating the class Grouper group and updating the roster for the chosen account through the Grouper portal.
If you have taught this same class before using Rivanna/Afton, select Renewal.

How many students are in your class?

What days/times does this class meet? Enter “n/a” if students will use the cluster at different times.

Estimate how many cores and how much memory each student will need to process his/her jobs. General descriptions are fine. A member of our user services team will contact you if we need additional information.

PIs are eligible for 10TB of Research Standard storage at no charge. Instructors are encouraged to utilize this 10TB of storage for both research and teaching activities. Read the full policy and guide for instructors.

Please submit the form only once. If you receive an error message after submitting this request, please check your email to confirm that the submission completed.
