To use SciNet’s computational resources, any qualified researcher at a Canadian university is eligible for a free account on the SciNet systems, and industrial users may apply through our HPC Innovation Services program.

For academics,

Step 1: You must successfully register with the Compute Canada database (CCDB).   Note: Faculty members must register and obtain a CCRI identifier before any non-faculty members of their research group.  Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows must be sponsored by the faculty member to whom they report before being able to register.

Step 2: Apply for a SciNet account on the CCDB site by clicking the “Apply” button beside SciNet on the “Consortium Accounts” page.

The SciNet technical documentation wiki is a resource for making the use of your account once you have one.
