The policies documented here are evaluated regularly to assure adequate and responsible administration of PSC systems for users. As such, they are subject to change at any time.

File Retention

PSC provides storage resources, for long-term storage and file management.

Files in a PSC storage system are retained for 3 months after the affiliated grant has expired.

Requesting a Refund

When appropriate, PSC provides refunds for jobs that failed due to circumstances beyond your control.

To request a refund, email help@psc.edu. In the case of batch jobs, we require the standard error and output files produced by the job. These contain information needed in order to refund the job.
