What steps must you take BEFORE acquiring IT products or services (even if free)?

August 20, 2024

Do you purchase hardware, software - free, web-based, or installed on your computer, or services like subscriptions for digital data? Or other Information Technology (IT) products for your project, grant, department, or course? All technology-related acquisitions (cost or free) require IT review and approval before purchasing. How do I get approval? By submitting an Information Technology Acquisition Review (ITAR) request form 4-8 weeks before acquisition! 3 teams review the requests for security and accessibility and ensure the product or service works with our existing campus technologies. 

Drop into the Zoom Open Office Hours on any Wednesday from noon to 1 to get your questions answered and learn the details you need to provide in the ITAR request form. Bring your questions!
