IT Policies, Regulations and Rules


To protect university assets, OIT Security and Compliance (S&C) works in collaboration with campuswide IT representatives and the Office of General Counsel (OGC) to develop Policies, Regulations and Rules for Information Technology (IT PRRs). Upon final approval of iterative drafts, OGC publishes IT PRRs in the Information Technology category of their Policies, Regulations & Rules website.

For more information about PRRs, see the official definitions.

Standard Operating Procedures and Guidance

S&C develops and publishes further details, such as standard operating procedures and guidance, on this website and in knowledge articles.
