Mission: UCIT is responsible for review and approval of all major information technology initiatives and all technology policy and strategy at Villanova University.

Its deliberations and decisions reflect the University's academic and administrative needs and its strategic plan. Major projects are initiated by the University's departments and forwarded to the Academic or Administrative Committee. Any of the committees can submit selected projects to UCIT on a predetermined schedule. Proposals will be presented to the Council in a standard format to ensure completeness and enough detail to allow for timely and substantiated decision-making. UCIT will evaluate proposed initiatives to identify optimal benefits across the University community and the relative importance of individual projects. Where necessary, UCIT will submit requests for project resources to the Administrative Planning and Budget Committee (APBC).

UCIT will approve University-wide policies as they relate to the implementation and utilization of Information Technology resources and consult with Legal Counsel and the Vice Presidents Council where necessary. The Council will formally review the strategic technological directions of the University and approve adjustments to directions as needed.

It is critical that UCIT has appropriate participants for its deliberations. To this end, the membership will be reviewed on a periodic basis, with changes made in Council membership as deemed appropriate.
