According to the Hipergator Website: https://www.rc.ufl.edu/access/account-request/

To be eligible for an account on HiPerGator, you must be on an education or research project that has as one of its Principal or Co-Principal investigators a faculty or staff member at the University of Florida.

I'm also a UF alumni (undergrad & grad EE), and IIRC back in my day high performance computing was a grad class. I never took it, but it wouldn't surprise me if for the grad class there would be labs on the super computer where students can get limited access.
