Request a CHTC Account

How to request a CHTC account

  1. Fill out the account request form. Tell us about the computing work you want to do to the best of your knowledge.
  2. You will receive an automated email from chtc@cs.wisc.edu within a few hours of completing the form.
  3. Wait 2-3 business days for a follow-up from CHTC Facilitation Staff. Contact us at chtc@cs.wisc.edu if you don't hear from us after 3 business days.
    • If you are part of a new research group, we will first schedule a meeting with you to understand your computational needs before creating your account.
    • If you are part of an existing research group, we will create a new account. We don't require a meeting, but highly recommend meeting with us, especially if you are new to research computing!
