The Office of Computing and Communication Services (OCCS) assists in the development, formulation and distribution of information technology policies.
The Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC) is a body appointed by the University representing various campus constituencies. ITAC is charged with the review of draft policies and standards and assists OCCS with the vetting of these proposals.
Policy and Standards Development
By establishing specific requirements for all members of the university community, policies and standards connect the university's mission to individual conduct, institutionalize impartial expectations, support compliance with laws and regulation, mitigate institutional risk, and enhance productivity and efficiency in the university's operations.
A full compilation of established and draft policies and standards is being assembled for viewing on this site in the near future.
For background or information on theses policies, or to provide feedback on drafts, please contact Rusty Waterfield, Assistant Vice President for Computing and Communication Services at rwater@odu.edu.
