The Physics Computer Group (PCG) manages Physics Department hardware and software, oversees undergraduate and graduate student computer labs, maintains departmental email and web services, and provides account and system support to Physics students, faculty, and staff.
If you are a graduate student or a faculty or staff member, you are elegible for an account on our systems. This account includes email (at the physics.utexas.edu domain), publically accessible web page space, and access to GNU/Linux machines (either in our labs or via remote login). To apply for an account, come by our office (RLM 7.126) and ask for a new account login form. If you are a graduate student, you will need the signature of your professor or the graduate advisor.
Undergraduate students are not normally eligible for accounts; if you are an undergrad and your professor requires that you have a login for a special project, please have him or her contact us directly. Note that any student with a valid EID may use the public computers in the PMCL (or other labs on campus).
If you have a computer problem with a department-owned machine (or a personal machine that is authorized for use on the Physics network), or if you are having trouble with your Physics email/login account, you can contact us for assitance. However, we urge you to first look over this site, to see if your problem is addressed here.
