For existing allocations, please enter your Grouper/MyGroup name in lowercase and with no spaces.
If you do not have an existing Grouper/MyGroup name for an allocation, the project PI must request one through this link.
Please note the following instructions before clicking on the link: To expedite the account creation, we recommend that you specify “This group will be used for Rivanna/Afton access” in the description section of the webform. You must add yourself as a member of the group. Otherwise, we will not be able to process this request.

Instructors are responsible for creating the class Grouper group and updating the roster for the chosen account through the Grouper portal.
