Two primary committees exist to take input from the HSU community to ITS. This infrastructure gives students, staff and faculty easy-access channels through which they can make suggestions, proposals, and gain insight into ITS decision-making processes.

The two primary ITS committees are:

• The Project Prioritization Committee, which determines the priority level for each project submitted to the ITS Project Office
• The IT Council, which acts as an unofficial affiliation of IT staff at Humboldt State University and includes representatives from every department

The IT Council also incorporates two working groups:

• Desktop Support identifies problems related to desktop computer support university-wide, and develops strategies for the promotion of effective computer use by students, faculty, and staff
• Network Advisory identifies and advises on issues concerning campus network practices and responds to specific requests for information or guidance from the IT Council and CIO.

Learn more about how the project prioritization process works.

You can read more about the IT Council's mission, functions, and internal structure in the organization's charter.

Please reference the IT Advisory Flowchart for more information on how university students, staff, faculty, and administration can provide input to the Information Technology Council.

Projects are submitted to the Project Prioritization Committee by ITS staff members working with the broader HSU community on individual project proposals.

To submit suggestions and comments to the IT Council, identify the Council member for your area and liaise with them.

Work with the ITS staff member responsible for your project to provide additional input as required to the Project Prioritization Committee.

• Who decides where my project sits in the priority queue?
• Can I appeal a decision from the project prioritization committee?
• Where can I find the names of IT Council members?
• When does the IT Council meet?
• Where can I find more about what the IT Council is doing?

The activities of the ITS committees are governed by HSU's Appropriate Use Policy.
