Onboarding Sessions

All new users of the Palmetto Cluster are required to attend an onboarding training session. The training gives users an overview of:

  • what resources are available on Palmetto
  • methods to connect to Palmetto resources
  • how to submit and run jobs
  • responsible use of shared resources

How to Attend

Onboarding sessions are offered weekly on Fridays at 9 am, and 10am. The sessions are offered online via Microsoft Teams.

Notice

Please note that your Palmetto account must be approved before registering for the onboarding session. An account is required to participate.

You must sign in to the booking site with your Clemson account (as described below). Signing in with a personal Outlook account will not work, and you will be redirected to your outlook email rather than the booking site.

  1. Open our onboarding booking link.

  2. When you click the booking link, it will open an Outlook Login window. Fill in your email as your Clemson email and select Next.
