Each year (since 2002) a list of NIC IT initiatives is derived from the College's Technology Plan.  This particular plan includes 56 total  recommendations that were developed by NIC's Technology Master Planning Committee in November 2001, as a result of the College's Strategic Planning (1999-2002).

The following are NIC "Information Technology Initiatives" for 2003-04:
