IT Policies & Forms

IT Policies page last updated Nov. 12, 2009.

Some of UD's IT policies provide general guidance on how to identify acceptable tools, what users should and shouldn't do on UD's network and things we all need to keep UD's computing community and the data of its customers safe and secure. Others are specifically written to provide direction on specific legislative or industry requirements.

Policies do not necessarily prevent folks from doing undesired things. They do, however, have the potential for helping folks understand the what and the how and, most importantly, the why. Policy makes people a part of the best-practices solution.

One of the most important attributes of IT policy, however, is that it be readily available. That's why we publish the most current policies that impact our users' ability to take advantage of UD's information technologies.
