Terms and Conditions

I understand that all projects must be approved by Information Technology Services before work begins, and a timeline will be provided upon approval of the project. Any additions to the project not outlined in this document by the Department or Information Technology Services would be considered a new project (phase 2, phase 3, etc...), unless the addition is approved by the Information Technology Services and will not affect the timeline unless it is considered essential to the project and both parties agree to the addition.

The priority of the project will be assigned by Information Technology Services. Meetings set by ITS are required, since cancellation of same can cause the timeline to shift. Once the project is live, and completed, requests for additions, changes or technical support will go directly through the Information Technology Services point of contact and be tasked out to appropriate ITS staff. Any necessary changes to the scope of this project will be made through contact with Information Technology Services.
