HOWTO register

Procedure for transferring user fees:

1. Initiate a journal to the accountant for your department at the Finance department. This journal should:
   1. Debit your cost point
   2. Credit cost point R1243, account 5227 with R2500.00
   3. Use your username as reference
   4. When emailing the journal request to your accountant, CC itfinoffice@sun.ac.za. This will ensure that the user gets given access rights to the HPC by the IT HPC team.

Users registering after the end of June pay R1250.00 for that year.
