Accounts

A login name is permanent for the life of an account, as stated on the account form; once the account has been created the login name cannot be changed.

To change any of this information, send email to help@cs.utexas.edu from your CS email address with the changes and a staff member will take care of it.

The UTCS Account Creation application is here - log in with your UT EID, and follow the instructions.

Please note that students enrolled in the UTCS Online Master of Computer Science program are not eligible for this type of account.

The "Plan" is a printout of a file named .plan in your home directory. For people to see it, the file must be world-readable and your home directory must be world-executable.

The online application to change your shell and mail forwarding address is currently offline. Please email help@cs.utexas.edu and we will make these changes for you.

Yes, you can have your current account upgraded. Contact help@cs.utexas.edu after the beginning of the semester in which you become a CS major -- we don't get registration information until then -- and request your account be changed to an under account.

We have no way of finding out what your password is, so you'll have to change it. You should visit our password update webpage and log in using your UTEID to change your password. Please read the instructions and information provided carefully. If that fails for some reason, open a help ticket by sending an email to help@cs.utexas.edu. For security reasons, passwords are never sent via email.

Mathematica is available through a campus-wide license held by the Physics department. Follow the link and log in with your UT EID to gain access.
