Vendor and Software Purchase Assessment

Description

Campus Technologies can work with faculty and staff to review and publish a list of supported technology vendors and software. This assessment ensures that software conforms to the College’s standards of accessibility, privacy requirements of FERPA and HIPAA, cybersecurity requirements, system integration, and contractual needs.

Standard Features

Campus Technologies can provide service for the following types of requests
