CSC/ITSU Renamed as ITSC Starting from 1 July 2000
Effective 1 July 2000, the Computer Services Centre and the Information Technology Service Unit will be combined and renamed as the Information Technology Services Centre (ITSC). The new name has been approved by the Administrative and Planning Committee (AAPC) of the University.

The name change will not affect the way we serve our users. Our operations, facilities, and scope of services will remain unchanged, and, as always, we will continue doing our best to serve the information technology needs of the University .
