IT Survey & Findings

The Information Technology Steering Committee developed a technology survey for all NJCU students, faculty, and staff. This anonymous survey was designed to help New Jersey City University to identify the technology needs and preferences of its students and to assess the technology resources and services that are currently available at the University. The results of the survey will be used to assist the University to enhance its technology resources and services and plan for future innovations.
