    • Please read Part 1 of the Agreement carefully, and Part 2 (for an individual) or Part 3 (an instructor on behalf of a class).
    • For online use, create an account on the Lancaster CQPweb server (unless you have one already). This applies both to individual researchers and students in a class.
    • Please then go to the ARCHER registration form, where there is a simple online form to fill in for ARCHER, including an electronic signature for the User Agreement. Individual users will need their CQPweb username. (NB. Students in a class do not need to fill in the online ARCHER form.)
    • Instructors of classes should send a list of their students’ CQPweb usernames by email to archer@manchester.ac.uk. In order to use ARCHER themselves they should include their own username in the student list, or submit our online form again as an individual user.
