Delgado Technology Strategic Plan

Delgado Community College Technology Vision 

Focused on a commitment to student success, Delgado Community College creates and sustains a world-class technology environment that provides secure access to exemplary teaching, learning, and services, anytime and any place

Making progress toward the ideal technology state as described in the Technology Vision requires making numerous difficult decisions and choices. Because future decisions and choices should not take place in isolation of what is being accomplished in other areas or functions of the institution, standards were developed that can be used to assist in the decision-making process. 

The purpose of developing Technology Guiding Principles is to reflect on how institutional members should relate to one another, how they should operate, and how they should distribute technology resources throughout the organization. In addition, these Technology Guiding Principles are in alignment with Delgado’s Core Values and lend support and definition to the mission of the institution.
 
As decisions are required, the Principles are utilized to help guide actions when choices are not clear. They are meant to provide a context for consistent decision-making that is focused on doing what needs to be done and in the correct manner.  As decisions present themselves, the principle that speaks to the technology choice will be employed; thus, there is no particular order to the listing below.  

These Technology Guiding Principles align with Delgado’s values and support the institutional mission.
