Scottsdale Community College Technology Plan

The mission of the Scottsdale Community College Ocotillo Committee is to support the technological needs of the college. The responsibility of the committee is to develop and monitor a plan to establish priorities regarding the acquisition, maintenance, and support for use of technology at Scottsdale Community College. The plan:

  • will be consistent with the Scottsdale Community College Mission Statement and Strategic Plan.
  • must be flexible to allow for technological developments and for evolving needs.
  • should specify an annual evaluation of technology at Scottsdale Community College in relation to standards across the United States, as well as student and employee satisfaction.
The following plan will be revised annually by the SCC Ocotillo Committee.
