Disk Quota

Students account disk quotas are set to 500 Mbytes. Disk storage is a limited and finite resource, so we ask everyone to do periodic account housekeeping.

Who is Eligible for this Server?

Students.
Currently enrolled students automatically receive an account on claws.wcu.edu. In addition university recognized clubs and organizations can request an account by e-mailing claws@email.wcu.edu.

How Long Do Accounts Remain on Server?

Student accounts will reside on the server as long as a student is enrolled at the university. Once a student graduates or leaves the university their account will be terminated.

Clubs and organizations will continue to have an account as long as they are officially recognized by the university.
