Creating an Account

Anyone affiliated with the University of Nebraska (NU) system can request an account on and use HCC shared resources for free.

How to create an HCC account:

  1. Identify or Setup a Group: All HCC accounts must be associated with an HCC group owned by NU faculty. Usually, user's HCC group is the research group owned by their advisor but it may also be a class group owned by the course instructor. To establish a new group, please complete a new group request if you are NU faculty.

  2. Request an Account: All accounts must be associated with an HCC group. Your group will usually be owned by your advisor, however, it could also be a class group owned by your instructor. Once you know the group your account will be associated with, please complete a new user request.

  3. Setup Two Factor Authentication: Once your account has been approved, you will recieve an email with login instructions. To finish activating your account, you will need to either have phone number registered with TrueYou or join our Remote Open Office hours or schedule another remote session and show your photo ID in order to activate Two Factor Authentication.

  4. Reset your Temporary Password: To maintain the security of your account, please change your password as soon as your account is active.

Once the above steps are complete, your account is now active and you are ready to connect to HCC resources and begin submitting jobs. If you have any questions or would like to setup a consultation meeting, please contact us.
