Research Accounts and Research Guest Accounts
(If you've happened upon this page hoping to change a password, go HERE instead.)
Research guest accounts are available for collaborators and visitors if their CSE account sponsor certifies that the user’s use of CSE facilities will be INSIGNIFICANT or NEGLIGIBLE. Specific criteria for a “Research Guest” accounts is as follows:
a) Persons having guest accounts DO NOT have dedicated office space/computing facilities in the Allen Center.
b) Home directory disk usage for the guest (residing on a CSE server) must not exceed 25MB.
c) Active CSE students, faculty, and staff are not eligible for guest accounts
d) Mail directed to a guest account at cs.washington.edu must be forwarded to an external, non-CSE email address (to be provided by the guest). The only exception to this is alumni or former department members who have pre-existing CSE Cloud email accounts.
If a research account does not fit this description, then a "Regular Research" account should be requested. Such accounts are incurr quarterly charges and are billed through departmental recharge procedures. See http://www.cs.washington.edu/lab/support/faq.html#135 .
The application procedure for a guest account is the same as for a "full use" account. See http://www.cs.washington.edu/lab/support/faq.html#87.

Please also note:
- Guest accounts are not available on instructional systems.
- Guest accounts, or accounts converted to 'guest' status do not receive or retain personal home page hosting on the CSE home page server.
- A guest account and its email forwarding must be "problem-free". For example, we will remove guest accounts that have bad email forwarding addresses.
