JupyterHub gives users access to Jupyter Notebook environments (computational environments and resources) virtually. Instructors can make individual workspaces (e.g., "Hubs") available to students using shared resources, managed by system administrators.

JupyterHub Support

  • A specific hub with a unique DNS name will be configured for each course/section. Instructors and students in that course will automatically have access. We can also add teaching assistants upon request. Instructors will have ‘administrative’ access to their instance, which will allow them to view/control their students’ notebooks. We can provide this same access to teaching assistants upon request.Ìý
  • Instructors and teaching assistants should be the main point of contact for students who have questions or issues with JupyterHub. Instructors and teaching assistants can contact itsstaff.JupyterHub.Support@bc.edu with questions or to report problems. The support team will respond to all inquiries during business hours (9-5) and will make every effort to respond to off-hours requests in a timely manner.
  • Support requests should include as much detail as possible, including screenshots, error messages, etc.
  • The JupyterHub service is available 24x7 and is monitored by ITS staff. Issues specific to Boston College will be addressed promptly. Outages related to issues within Google’s infrastructure will be reported to Google directly.
