The Student Guide to Evaluating Information Technology at UMFK

What you need to know and what you should ask

when choosing a college or university

Technology, learning, and you

Wherever you go to school and whatever you choose as a major or future career, you’ll be using computers and other information technologies. It makes sense to check out the technology environment at the schools you’re considering along with other factors that will influence your choice. One of the best ways to do this is to ask questions. Remember, there are no “dumb” questions—just those you want answers to before you make a commitment. This guide provides sample questions to use as you explore your options and make your decision.

This guide was developed by EDUCAUSE in cooperation with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).
