Computer Science faculty and researchers use a wider array of computing resources. We recommend looking in the left margin for computer systems, storage, and networking. Below is a list of CS computing resources run and managed by Laboratory for Computer Science Research staff.

• • CS iLab Linux Computing
    This resource is called the “Instructional” or “iLab” cluster. This resource aids all students enrolled in the Department of Computer Science for a degree, students enrolled in a Computer Science course, and CS faculty in their coursework.  Only students who are registered for CS Classes or officially CS students can get access to this resource. The newly admitted student has to wait until they are officially registered for classes to activate the account on this system.  For more details on the name, make, models, and type of machines, see the list of machines in the iLab cluster. 
  • CS Faculty Linux Computing
    Faculty cluster aids CS faculty and administrative staff in their work. For more details on the name, make, models, and type of machines, see the List of machines in the Faculty cluster. 
  • CS Research Linux Computing
     The “Research” cluster is used by CS faculty, Students, and guest researchers in their research work.   This cluster is owned by specific research groups in the CS Department who control access to their resources.
    For more details on the name, make, models, and type of machines, see the list of machines in the research cluster. 

Below is a list of important University computing resources run and managed by the Office of Information Technology (OIT). These resources are available to eligible members of the University community.

• • Email System for Faculty/Staff
    All faculty and staff at Rutgers (including student employees) are expected to use Rutgers Connect (@cs.rutgers.edu), an Office365-based email system, for all work-related emails. You can activate this account when you activate your services during the NetID creation process at https://netid.rutgers.edu.   Students who later become university employees will need to activate the Connect account when they become an employee from the netid.rutgers.edu site.  When you no longer have a role at Rutgers or after a deactivation notice from OIT, your Connect email will go away, and it won’t be easy to get any data out of it because of University policy 70.1.7. must be followed. See the section about Leaving Rutgers for more details.
  • Email System for Non-Faculty/Staff
    The university also has an email system called ScarletMail. It is a rebranding of the GMail system made available for all educational work for all University members. Note that faculty and staff (including student employees, TAs, RAs, etc) are required by University policy to use Rutgers Connect for all University business. Those who graduated do not lose their ScarletMail account after graduation. See https://oit.rutgers.edu/scarletapps/faq for more info
  • Remote technology resources for Students and Faculty 
    The university has a collection of resources for remote learning. These include learning management systems like Canvas, Sakai, and Blackboard, web conferencing software like Zoom, WebEx, and Microsoft Teams, virtual computer labs,  and software portals that provide everyone with site-licensed software like Microsoft Office.
  • Digital Classroom Services.

    University resources to help faculty with teaching and learning
  • Top Level netid@rutgers.edu email address
    To simplify email delivery, many people prefer to have an netid@rutgers.edu address. This address will work whether you are faculty, staff, or student. You can control where mail sent to @rutgers.edu address is delivered by managing your email from the netid.rutgers.edu site
  • Forwarding Email Policy
    Faculty and staff cannot (by policy) forward email. It must be sent to the Rutgers Connect address. However, students can have mail sent to NETID@rutgers.edu forwarded to any mail system they want, including non-Rutgers mail systems.
  • Personalized Email account
    You may add “personalized addresses,” such as john.smith@rutgers.edu. Mail sent to one of your personalized addresses will be sent to the same place as NetID@rutgers.edu.
