The University of Toronto’s IT@UofT Strategic Plan focuses and guides our efforts to support the University’s academic mission through information technology services, informing the vision, framework and initiatives, both within the Information Technology Services division and across the University. Additionally, the strategic plan, directed by guiding principles, will provide a clear picture of and lead our IT investments in a rapidly evolving environment. In effect, this plan will shape IT@UofT.
