Function

The Academic Computing Committee (ACC) makes recommendations on policies and resources necessary to establish and maintain an effective academic computing support system to serve the needs of academic researchers, classroom instructors, and students.  The committee also reviews long-range plans for strengthening academic computing facilities, improving access and usage of these facilities, and meeting faculty training needs.

The ACC reports to the University Senate through the Chairperson of the Academic Affairs Council and serves in an advisory role to the Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs on academic computing matters.
