Requesting Linux Accounts

We offer Linux shell accounts for students taking Linux-oriented classes (shell and C programming, web development). Unless otherwise requested, we will only create shell accounts — please explicitly request extra things like Tomcat, mySQL, Oracle, etc.

Please make sure to request accounts for the upcoming semester at least one month before classes begin. Most account requests are easy to fill, however sometimes special software is required for each class. Please use the link below and fill out the form.

Requesting Windows VMs

We also offer Windows VMs for courses that require specialized software that may have a complex setup process (IBM software, forensics software, MS SQL server, etc). Please let Matthew Poli (mpoli@pace.edu) know at least a month in advance of the semester. VMs are provisioned for the duration of the semester and will be disabled and deleted afterword.

Here are some things we’d like to know when creating a VM — * Software needed (Office, java, forensics tools, etc). * Who will be using the VMs, we need a list of student emails. This means if there is an add or drop during and leading up to the semester, you will have to let us know. * Date needed… usually the start of the semester. * Any special timeframe requirements as some classes span multiple semesters.

We will gladly create a VM for you as well to test things out before the semester starts.
