Overview

---

Some ITS systems and services have limits on how many resources you may use.  Quotas are limits on individual file storage designed to ensure resources remain available to everyone. Every location where you can store files may have a separate size limit. 

Critical Concepts

---

• The default quota for our lab computers and instructional servers is 200 MB and 8000 files.  Engineering students may have an additional 100 MB on ieng6.ucsd.edu and ieng9.ucsd.edu.
  
  • Students who qualify for an Open Computing Environment account may have additional quota space available.
  • Courses may request additional quota space for their course work. You will lose this additional space once the course ends
• Visit the SDCC12 Recharge Rates and Disk Limits to know more about the SDCC12 accounts. 

Steps to Take

---

Lab Computers

Students have access to a network file system on ETS-managed lab computers. This network drive is mapped to H: on our lab computers.

Any additional storage increases are via professor's requests. If you would like to see your quota limits for your specific account, use our Account Lookup tool.

ETS Instructional Servers

ETS supports some instructional servers like acsweb.ucsd.edu, ieng6.ucsd.edu

Any additional storage increases are via professor's requests. If you would like to see your quota limits for your specific account, use our Account Lookup tool.

Our instructional servers have a weekly allocation of processor time. Our computing unit quota is designed to not be reached with regular day-to-day use. This mechanism is designed to help stop runaway jobs. If you exceed your computing units, please submit a ticket.
