Registrar Sponsored Accounts
The accounts-master command causes the directory/software/accounts-master/data/sponsors/REGISTRAR/.DATA to be filled with files whose names match courses, and whose contents are the students taking the course.
In the directory above that, that is
/software/accounts-master/data/sponsors/REGISTRAR/
are files which allocate resources based on program and course enrollment.
These reference the automatically generated files in the .DATA
directory using the < operator, so as to assign resources to all
members of particular classes. Note that only those files actually referenced will be created or updated
in the .DATA directory.

| Directory/File Name | Purpose | ||
|---|---|---|---|
REGISTRAR/
| |||
REGISTRAR/ | files under REGISTRAR "automatically" sponsor resources, based on data received from the registrar's office | ||
REGISTRAR/.DATA/ | Don't touch! The accounts-master computer program uses information from the Registrar to put, beneath this directory, lists of students in different classes | ||
REGISTRAR/Grads | base resources for Masters and PhD students | ||
REGISTRAR/Undergrads | base resources for undergraduate students | ||
REGISTRAR/cs | resources linked to enrolment in CS courses | ||
REGISTRAR/se | resources linked to enrolment in SE courses | ||
REGISTRAR-YYYYMM/
| |||
REGISTRAR-YYYYMM/ | Files under REGISTRAR-YYYYMM, e.g. REGISTRAR-201001 implement the predictable long-term expiry of sponsored resources by freezing the indicated previous terms class (program/year) memberships.
Another file there ensures any account created stays until after the drop-add deadline.
Occasionally (usually only in fall terms) you will see REGISTRAR-YYYYMMext directories. Read the file .README in such a directory for an explanation of its purpose and how it was created. | ||
