The California State University
Annual Campus Technology Survey Guidelines
Fiscal Year 2006/2007

At the request of campus presidents, the task of responding to this survey has been assigned to the designee to the Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC). On most campuses, the ITAC designee is responsible for the technology resources and support services covered by this survey. However, the ITAC designee is expected to undertake whatever consultation is necessary to obtain the requested information from campus associates.

About The 2007 Survey
The primary purpose of the annual campus technology survey is to meet a Legislative reporting requirement associated with state support for improving the technology infrastructure of the CSU. In return for investments totaling approximately $200 million since FY 1999/2000, the CSU agreed to provide annual reports (known as the Measures of Success or MOS) through 2008 on the impact of those investments. Previous editions of the MOS reports can be viewed by clicking here. Information collected to meet the state requirement is reported for the system as a whole. Individual campus data are not reported.

Many of the questions in the current survey have been asked in the same or similar form beginning with the FY1999/2000 survey. The intent is to measure change over time on a series of important indicators related to the goals of the systemwide Integrated Technology Strategy (ITS). However, the survey is also intended to provide information on new or emerging areas of interest; some of the new items in this year’s survey include learning management systems, security, specialized software, and assistive technologies.

Survey Submission Procedures
  • The survey can only be submitted with the assigned username and password sent to your ITAC designee.
  • It is important to work from a completed hard copy of the questionnaire.
The online form has been set up so that you can input data, submit, and come back at a later date to finish or edit. It is divided into 3 pages. After logging in, you may go to any of these pages. At this time, only 4 users may access the database at one time. This means it is important for you to log out after finishing your session.

One of the main reasons for conducting the survey via the web is to facilitate the extensive consultation required to provide the requested information. The survey questionnaire (.pdf), including the explanatory links (.pdf), can be viewed and downloaded by anyone as read-only documents.

Definitions of Terms Used in the Survey
Terms requiring clarification or interpretation are underlined. Clicking on them will take the reader to a separate document where definitions are provided. You may also view the clarifications by clicking here.

Campus Data Submitted in Prior Surveys
You can access the historical data provided by your campus in previous surveys by clicking here, and entering the username and password provided to the ITAC designee via email in MONTH.

Entering Percentages
When reporting dollar amounts and numbers round off values to the nearest whole number. Report FTE values and percentages to the nearest tenth. Enter percentages as a decimal number; e.g., for 35% enter .35, for 100% enter 1.0

Error Messages
Error messages will appear for the following reasons: one or more of the required fields (indicated by an asterisk) was omitted; data have already been received from your campus; the password is incorrect.
