I don't think that'll work.

What do you mean you don't have access to "at"?  "at" isn't installed?
Or you don't have permission to use "at" in /etc/at.[allow,deny] ?
If you're admin gives you access to cron, I don't understand why he
won't give you access to "at".  Ask him about it.

Otherwise, you could cobble up a shell script that sleeps until a
certain time and then runs command(s).  You could run it with "screen",
or other methods to run it in the background (i.e. nohup + "&").
