How to request and manage access to applications, listservs, and SharePoint sites

RPAC Applications and Listserv/SharePoint Sites

RPAC maintains various applications and listservs/SharePoint sites to support collaboration among UC's research administration and policy communities. Access is limited to University employees.

First-Time Access

A completed Access Request form is required if you have never had accessed an application, listserv, or SharePoint site, or if you have recently transferred from one UC campus/location to another.

  • Access is primarily for frontline contract and grant officers and support staff.
  • RPAC will not authorize access without support from your local Contracts and Grants/Sponsored Projects Office. Please contact your local C&G office before requesting access.
  • Questions regarding access should be directed to retools@ucop.edu.

IMPORTANT NOTE: REMS uses Single Sign-On for application access. This allows users to log in using the existing UC campus/location credentials they already use for Shibboleth/UCTrust-enabled applications, such as UCPath.

As part of the access request process, new users will be prompted to log into REMS using their UC campus/location credentials before submitting this form. This will create a new account that will record their campus login credentials. If you will be submitting requests on behalf of someone else, please ensure they have completed this step before you submit their request.
