How do I apply for an account?

First, please fill out this application form.  The form asks why you need an account and what resources you will be using. 

Next, you will receive an email with the link that you must follow to request the actual user account on HAL.  You must follow this link to create an NCSA user ID (if you do not have one) and to request membership in the corresponding LDAP group. Check your emails and follow the instructions.
