The Computer and Information Center was established in 1987 to provide the following services:
Automate the administrative activities at the University
Provide the necessary computing and networking facilities to students and faculty staff members including support
Responsibility of choosing the best technology in software, hardware and networking to be used at the University
Maintenance of all personal computers and related software and devices
Maintaining the communication services at the university and related sites
Training University staff members
Provide consulting and computing services to the local community
The responsibilities of this center increased since that time, because of the growing demands on using the IT in teaching and research, as well as using the computers and information technology in the administrative departments of the University.
