Instructor/TA Accounts & Additional Information for Engineering Courses

SEASnet provides class accounts so instructors and TA’s do not need to use their personal accounts to teach a course. These accounts are made available to each quarter’s instructors and TA’s so please do not store any personal information and make sure that you have a copy of any information that you wish to retain.

INSTRUCTOR/TA’S
SEASnet provides 2 accounts and access to a public directory on the LINUX servers (see below). Access is valid for the quarter. Server cluster is ugrad.seas.ucla.edu.

INSTRUCTOR/TA ACCOUNT:
Account for miscellaneous class related work on both the Windows and LINUX instructional machines. Note: please do not execute student programs in this account for security reasons! Remember to make a back up any of the contents of this account you wish to save before the end of the quarter, as it could get assigned to a new instructor/TA.

EXECUTABLE (XX) ACCOUNT FOR LINUX COURSEWORK:
Account for testing and executing student submitted programs on SEASnet’s LINUX servers. Do not store any information in this account for security reasons. Files in this account will be deleted at the end of the quarter, but during the quarter you should clean up old submissions.

PUBLIC DIRECTORY FOR LINUX COURSEWORK:
/w/class.1/<course#>/cbin
For example:
/w/class.1/ch108/cbin
where ch108 is the course you are teaching. Files/programs placed here are accessible by enrolled students only – use the command chmod to set access restrictions.

STUDENT ACCOUNTS
Your students are provided with a personal SEASnet account to access HSSEAS instructional computing resources. Students taking engineering classes can apply through the web: https://www.seas.ucla.edu/acctapp.  Account requests take 1 business day to process.
