Information Technology Services provides the college with IT leadership and a broad range of basic and advanced support services. ITS implements new and useful technology tools that provide our end users with accessible education opportunities. We strive to provide high-quality and courteous service and innovative solutions to enhance the learning environment.
ITS has made substantial strides in expanding technology to support the college mission. Hundreds of computers are available to our students in campuses libraries, computer labs and student common areas.
