We Are ... Information Technology

Wherever you go to school and whatever you choose as a major or future career, you'll be using computers and other information technologies. It makes sense to check out the technology environment at the schools you're attending.

The Student Guide to Evaluating Information Technology on campus in the form of questions is based on the guide developed by EDUCAUSE in cooperation with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).

You will be joining a community of people devoted to creating and sharing information-activities that can be enhanced by information technology. Finding answers to the Academic Experience questions can help you understand how technology is used to support learning and collaboration in your areas of interest or possible major(s).

Your campus experience will include some time spent taking care of practical matters, such as registering for classes, requesting transcripts, and paying tuition. Find out which transactions and the services that support them can be handled online and at a distance can help you determine how well your Administrative Experience would be.

Whether you will be a full-time or part-time student, living on campus or commuting, the school's social, extracurricular, and career services activities will be an important part of your educational experience. Questions related to Student Life will help you find out about the technology tools that facilitate different communities on campus, allowing for communication, personal development, and getting together in person and online.

There is a strong connection between the quality of technology services and the associated costs. There is also a wide variation in the ways campuses charge for these services. To evaluate the benefits you will receive and to compare costs, you'll need answers to Services and Fees related Questions.
