About ITS
Kansas State University's Information Technology Services (ITS) is committed to providing excellent IT services to the K-State community in support of the teaching, learning, research and service missions of our university. On July 1, 2009, the university's existing central IT organizations were consolidated within ITS as an important step in building the next generation of campus-wide IT services at K-State. ITS offers a wide range of information, technology, and communications services through five service units.
The Office of the Vice Provost for ITS (VP-ITS) coordinates and manages ITS policy, planning, and portfolio management activities and the university information security program. The Office also provides centralized ITS business services.
