Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

To create an efficient model beyond the classroom, CETS will require additional information from our partners, outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).  In essence, this information will keep CETS “in the loop” from the planning to the execution of the technology installation, and allow us to effectively assist in maintaining your educational technology.

It is our hope that through the adoption of our Core-Technology and CTD model and a MOU, CETS can partner with other departments and be more helpful in teaching spaces not directly under CETS’ control, and main campus colleagues can have a more reliable experience with the technology in those spaces.
