This Committee meets periodically during the academic year (except during academic break periods) to discuss and formulate recommendations to the Office of the Vice President for Information Technology about supporting projects that improve the information technology capabilities on campus by the appropriate use of the technology fee.

Partially funding many technology programs and initiatives, the student technology fee can currently be seen in various areas on campus:

• Providing partial funding for Blackboard (online course management system; file storage).
• Increasing the number of instrumented classrooms.
• Purchasing, installing, and maintaining all hardware and software for clusters and classrooms.
• Providing funds for student IT employees.
• Supplying equipment such as digital cameras, digital video cameras, and laptop computers for checkout for academic purposes.
• Offering walk-in assistance, student technology classes, and training and workshop seminars.

The student Technology Fee Advisory Committee (TFAC) seeks proposals aimed at improving the quality of education and campus life at NDSU through the use of technology.Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to propose projects during the Fall and Spring funding cycles of each academic year. Watch for an announcement on the Spring deadline date.

The student technology fee funds a broad range of projects designed to improve the information technology capabilities and services for students, faculty and staff. Proposals specifically addressing innovative uses of technology to improve instruction and student learning are encouraged.
