DACC iPad Initiative
TO BE ELIGIBLE:
iPad Management
A student's iPad at DACC is remotely managed through our Mobile Device Management system (MDM). Managing a student's iPad allows DACC to deploy required apps free of charge, send instant messages, secure sensitive data, and remotely lock/wipe devices in the case of a lost/stolen device. The management system places no restrictions or affects the capabilities on your iPad and you are free to use your iPad as you choose. Upon receiving a DACC iPad, the device will be automatically enrolled in our remote management system.
Remote Management Removal
Upon completing 12 credits at passing GPA (grade C or higher) or upon graduating from DACC, you may request for the DACC remote management to be removed from your iPad.
That's It!
What's included in the DACC iPad Package
Your DACC iPad Package includes:
- Apple iPad with 64gb of internal storage
- Apple Pencil
- iPad Case with Bluetooth keyboard
- 2 years of Apple Care
The iPad is yours to use for your duration of being a student at DACC and yours to keep forever once you graduate with your associates. The goal of this program is to provide our DACC students with tools that can be used in face to face courses, remote learning and preparing you to enter a 21st century technology focused workforce. The iPad will continue to be a tool you can use as you enter your chosen career field, or continue taking courses to advance your studies.
Continuing Eligibilty:
For continual use of the iPad, the student who the iPad was distributed to must maintain a passing GPA and stay active student status with DACC courses. Once the student has completed twelve credits at passing GPA the iPad is theirs to keep. If these requirements are not met, the student will be charged the price of the iPad package or be able to return the iPad package.
