The Social Science Computing Cooperative offers several different kinds of accounts. Please read the descriptions carefully to determine which applies to you.
Lab Accounts
The SSCC offers lab accounts to graduate students or those taking graduate-level classes in the Social Sciences division, as well as any student taking a class whose instructor has arranged to use the SSCC labs. A lab account gives access to the SSCC computer labs and to Winstat, the SSCC's Windows Terminal Server farm.
Member Accounts
Those affiliated with departments and agencies which are members of the cooperative may request an SSCC Member account. Members have access to the labs and Winstat, but also receive an SSCC email address, access to the Linux servers and other services. Students and staff must have an account sponsor: a faculty member who already has an SSCC account, normally your advisor or supervisor.

School of Education Accounts
The School of Education is a special case: SoE members log into Winstat and the labs using their regular SoE accounts and normally do not need to request SSCC accounts. Instead, talk to your local SoE IT person and ask him or her to add your SoE account to the list of those that can use SSCC resources.
There are three exceptions:
- If you need to print in the SSCC's computer labs, you'll need a lab account so you can pay for printing ($.05 per side of a page).
- If you are part of the Wisconsin Center for Educational Research you may request a member account.
- If you need to use the Linux servers, contact the SSCC Help Desk about getting a Linux account.
These are rare: almost all SoE members only need their SoE accounts.
