Any faculty member or research scientist at an academic institution in Ohio is eligible for an academic account at OSC. These researchers/educators may request accounts for their students and collaborators. Commercial accounts are also available. More information about applying for both academic and commercial accounts at OSC can be found at [https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/support/account](https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/support/account).
