iPad Specifications:
The mobile App titled AU Mobile is available for all Android and Apple iOs devices. Students are able to download the Amridge University App to any type of Android device as well as Apple iPods, iPhones, and iPads.
Amridge is committed to
providing its students with learning tools that give
them access to coursework and assignments from any
location. As
part of our commitment to embrace 21st
century technology for education, the University has
adopted the iPad as our new technological tool for
teaching and learning. To ensure the effective and safe
use of the iPad for the virtual classroom, Amridge
University will provide each tablet with a two year
AppleCare+ Protection Plan and our in house technicians
will be available for technical support.
It is with this idea that students will have ease
of access to their Blackboard courses through
Learn, available within
the Amridge University App.
The Following Restrictions Will
Apply:
Students who choose to receive an iPad using Financial Aid Title IV, grants, and/or scholarship funds will be subject to course participation requirements. iPads will be shipped to the address Amridge has on file at the same time student refunds are mailed, which is typically on the 10th day of the semester.
Students who pay the one-time technology fee for
Amridge Connect
by personal credit card will receive their iPad as soon
as it has been determined that their registration fees,
admissions status and financial aid status is in good
standing with the University.
Students with iPads
Students who own their own iPad can participate in
Amridge Connect
and use the FREE app to access their courses in
Blackboard.
Students who do not wish to take advantage of the Mobile
Learn initiative will continue to use their personal
computers to access Blackboard for completion of their
coursework. The
iPad is not intended to replace students’ personal
computers; therefore, all students are still required to
have ownership or access to a personal computer.
Repair
Support:
AppleCare+ will be provided with all Amridge University
issued iPads.
The AppleCare+ Protection Plan provides two years
of protection and includes repair and replacement of
hardware components and TWO incidents of accidental
damage. Each
of the two incidents is subject to a $49 service fee per
incident that is to be paid by the student.
Payment for damages/repairs must be paid before
the iPad will be sent out by Amridge for repair.
Please call our Technical Support Team and have
your Serial number available so we can determine the
type of damage/repair needed based on the AppleCare +
Terms and Conditions before payment may be required.
Call 1.888.790.8080 and ask for iPad Support.
