The TARP project is a partnership between the SDSU IT Division and BFA’s commitment to ensure the resources and tools used on campus are accessible, secure, and compatible with our IT infrastructure.

Prior to acquisition, all technology products and associated technology purchased or obtained at no cost (including free software) must be reviewed for potential accessibility and data security risks.
