*In some cases, we may ask classes to be broken into groups to help conserve resources, especially IPv4 addresses, which we have a very limited supply of.

Interested educators just need to contact us a minimum of two weeks before the start of their class. We just need to know:
- Class Size
- Class Start Date
- Amount of computing resources (CPUs, RAM) each student or group requires
- If your institution is IPv6 enabled (find out here)
