User Services supports the research component as well as the instructional aspect of academic computing. The University has sufficient computing resources to support several faculty working on typical research projects during the academic year. Computer communications to other valuable networks such as Internet, CICnet, ARPAnet and the Minnesota Supercomputer are in place and ready to support faculty needs. Faculty needing access to any of these computing resources must request a userid through Academic Computer Services.
Online information is available describing how to use the various tools.
