Information technology acquisitions can affect multiple users across campus and have implications for other technology purchases. To prevent unexpected, negative consequences, we have developed the Information Technology Purchases/Acquisitions Policy (PDF, 126 KB). This policy, which is effective immediately, establishes conditions under which a contemplated information technology acquisition is subject to review and approval through governance by the Information Technology Office.

This policy is applicable for both administrative and academic initiatives, regardless of whether the technology is free or procured through any type of funding (e.g., grants, operating dollars). Please use the project request form to consult with the Technology and Planning Outreach Office (Project Management) in the initial phases of any significant technology planning to first obtain a needs assessment, a feasibility study, and ultimate approval.

We appreciate the campus community's adherence to this policy as we continually move to create better efficiencies campuswide.
