Mobile Application Review Committee
Villanova University desires to facilitate development and growth of the institution’s mobile technology environment while also encouraging student innovation in this realm when such innovation aligns with course curriculum. At the same time, the campus community reasonably expects that mobile products published under the Villanova banner and owned by the University, whether developed by UNIT or by students with UNIT’s oversight, will have a utility and value in keeping with the University’s reputation as an educational leader.
MARC
Mobile Application Review Committee
University Information Technologies Department and the Offices of General Counsel and University Communication have melded these concurrent objectives—learning opportunities and reputation management—into a policy for mobile application development.
Any campus unit planning to develop a mobile application or mobile website under the auspices of the University and branded as a Villanova product must first seek formal approval to proceed by completing the Villanova University Mobile App/ Mobile Website Request Form.
