ITSA Policy and UF IT Policy I've found it difficult to find the ITSA Computing Policy and the UF IT Policies, so I will provide the links here and keep them here. ITSA - http://imm.ifas.ufl.edu UF IT - http://www.it.ufl.edu/policies/ There will now be an ICC Policy Page that will keep track of policy and guidelines. These are not strict rules meant to dictate what must be done, but instead, a page of policies that are meant to help keep things running smoothly for each department and ITSA. You can find it here. ITPAC met on Monday, October 15th. The group agreed with recommended policies and will present them to Dr.Payne for final approval. Andrew Carey provided a link to fixing incorrectly named devices. You can find it here.
