Account Expiration

Your UNIX account will have an expiration date associated with it after creation. If your account was created in January, February or March, then your account expiration date will be July 1st of the current year. If the account was created after March, then your expiration date will be July 1st of the following year.

You will receive notice by email when your account is about to expire. To renew, simply ask the PI that sponsored you (which will be included in the notice) to email cluster-admin@soe.ucsc.edu requesting that your account to be renewed for another year.

If your account expires, the account will be suspended and you will no longer be able to login or view any data you may have in our systems. Any automated scripts (owned by you) that run via cron or other mechanisms will cease to function.
