Request a HiPerGator Account

Warning

Do not request a new HiPerGator account if you already have one. Open a support request for any changes to or issues with your HiPerGator account like moving your account to a different primary group.

The procedure to request a HiPerGator account is different for the three main categories of prospective users:

If you have a UF GatorLink account see the HiPerGator account request for GatorLink account holders procedure.

InCommon Federation Member Institution Account Holders

If your institution is a member of InCommon Federation and supports MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) you can request a Federated HiPerGator account and use your institutional credentials for authentication to any RC web interfaces. There is no need to request a GatorLink account for the majority InCommon Federated institutions. See Federated Account Request for the full procedure.

Other External Organization Members

If your institution or organization is not a part of InCommon Federation you have to request a UFIT Research Computing Affiliate GatorLink account before you can submit a HiPerGator account request.

Fill out the UFIT Research Computing Affiliate GatorLink account request form

This process can take as much as two weeks during busy periods in the academic year. Please plan accordingly. UFIT HelpDesk will reach out to the prospective user via the phone. This is a required step and the lack of communication will delay the process.

Once an RC Affiliate GatorLink account is created follow the procedure for the GatorLink account holders described above.
