Making a Daily Impact

Everyday we endeavour to support the infrastructure you depend on to share information, access resources and connect with people. We strive to ensure in every capacity services are reliable and delivered effectively.

 

Supporting Research

(Shown over a year)
Access to the right infrastructure and research solutions is essential to move research forward. To support research activities, we connect researchers to expertise within IST and research computing experts outside of the university, like WestGrid and Compute Canada.

 

Enhancing Teaching & Learning

(Shown over a year)
As learning delivery methods continue to evolve in higher education, we enable teaching and learning by supporting those critical tools faculty depend on everyday: classrooms; labs; and eClass, the university's learning management system.

 

Propose New IT Initiatives

Anyone interested in pursuing an IT initiative at the university should first consult the IT governance toolkit. Along with an explanation of the proposal intake and prioritization process, the toolkit contains the opportunity proposal form, privacy and security evaluation, and software as a service (SaaS) checklist.
