Custom Imaging Services (installation) for the UArts software package will also be available through the Apple Custom Store in late spring to early summer. Access to all institutionally owned software provided with the computer will be license-managed using the same system currently employed in all of our labs. Students will be able to purchase additional software and accessories as needed. Students are also provided comprehensive on-campus computer support through our Service Center. Students are strongly encouraged to purchase insurance for their laptops and other valuable digital devices. Students must provide insurance for their computers in order to receive access to a loaner laptop through our Service Center.
The educational benefits of this technology initiative include:
Most students buy a computer for college. At last survey, 89 percent of University of the Arts students own computers. Yet, many make an investment in hardware and software on their own only to find it is not compatible with University systems or those owned by other students. By purchasing an appropriate Recommended System Bundle through the UArts Apple Custom Store, students are sure to be prepared with the technology necessary for their course of study.
A separate annual Technology Fee covers technology infrastructure and application resources.
