About GCU IT Governance
The Information Technology (IT) Governance Program, established in 2023 under the sponsorship of executive leaders, provides a structure for the community to become more engaged in technology decisions while increasing transparency and efficiency.
Guiding Principles

- IT Governance, to be effective, requires that the community understands when and how to engage in the IT governance processes.
- IT Governance structures and workflows have to be flexible to ensure they align with GCU needs.
