Requesting Access
Requirements for Access
Access to REDCap is currently controlled through the Single Sign-On system. All REDCap users must have a Business Systems Single Sign-On. These can be granted by any Department Security Administrator. Your DSA’s contact information can be looked up at:

If you are accessing REDCap from outside the university firewall, you will also need an Active Directory account to access the VPN.
Training
Once granted access to the REDCap application, all users have access to extensive training videos, located on the REDCap home page. Additionally, we offer two hours of free hands-on training tailored to your project’s needs. This training must be scheduled by contacting ctri-redcap@ucsd.edu. All training will be conducted in the ACTRI building.
