Strategic Priorities

The needs of our university continue shaping the direction of the UIT Strategic Plan. During the last few years, we focused on key initiatives in support of student success such as the rollout of the new learning management system Canvas LMS, the upgrade of our Wi-Fi networks, and the implementation of over 50 multimodal and upgrades to 40 general purpose classrooms. In addition, we installed state-of-the art IT infrastructure in new research, academic, administrative, residential and athletics buildings.

Record student enrollment and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence are challenging us to reassess our IT Service Portfolio to launch new services and enhance the existing ones, while optimizing costs. This document presents our strategic priorities to achieve the University’s goals.
