UC Remote Access (UCRA)

UCRA is a service provided by UC Office of Information Technologies (UCit) and is available, free of charge, to any UC registered student, faculty, and staff. UCRA provides the UC community with home access (from the local Cincinnati calling area) to the UC Network (UCNet) and the Internet using a computer and a standard telephone line. For more information you may reference the UCRA Technical Information document.

UCRA is a dial-up access modem pool that includes modem and network equipment from Bay Networks and digital phone lines. Twenty-two digital T1 circuits provide simultaneous connections to 528 modems that are divided into two separate partitions: a student partition and a faculty/staff partition.

The student partition has 168 modems/lines with a common overflow of 48 modems/lines, and can be accessed via phone number 861-9501. The student partition is ITIE funded and faculty/staff are prohibited from using these lines.
The faculty/staff partition has 120 modem/lines with a common overflow of 48 modems/lines, and can be accessed from home via phone number 861-9503.
