VCU Technology Policies, Guidelines, and Standards
These documents govern the use of computing resources throughout the university, including within the School of the Arts.
School of the Arts Technology Policies, Guidelines, and Standards
This documentation is established by the School of The Arts itself, and compliments the governing documents of the university.
In order for the School of the Arts to maintain a competitive computing environment; as well as comply with university computing policies, standards, and guidelines; a policy of one computer per faculty or staff member is established; so as to maintain software licensing and hardware life-cycle replacement costs at a reasonable level.
The Provost Office has directed the Office of the Dean to instruct all VCUarts departments that all major technology purchases, including cloud-based services, must be reviewed by the VCUarts Technology Support Staff for compliance with university policies, standards, and guidelines, as well as compatibility with existing university technologies.
