Information Technology Policies

The Information Technology staff provides a number of hosted solutions for academic and administrative purposes. To provide the highest quality services we have developed a number of policies and procedures to guide how we administer these systems and how our users interact with them. Questions may be directed to (itsupport@newriver.edu). If server or network maintenance is needed it is conducted on Saturdays between 12:01AM and noon so services may occasionally be unavailable during this time. Scheduled downtime is announced on the New River home page. The development of these policies and procedures is guided by the Information Technology Advisory Group.
