All users can have a crontab but the main system crontab is really only available to root. So depending on what you are wanting to do ie run some of your own scripts as long as they don't require special privelges should be able to run under your own user crontab. A really easy way to determine this is simply to type crontab -e at the command and see if that does not open an editor for you. If perchance the admin has restricted access to cron you will have a devil of a time trying to install a cron job.
