They must reply to this request from their UCT email account. We recommend contacting your PI once you have applied for access to ensure that they have received the approval email.\u00a0 \u00a0Once they have responded to the approval email from their UCT email address the system will automatically forward your request to the HPC team who will then create your account.<\/p>\n

\n– If you select your PI’s old student account then the application will fail
