Important: Please Purchase AppleCare Protection Plan and the CDs for OSX & Microsoft Office!

AppleCare Protection Plan is required!

• Make sure that your computer is covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan! The AppleCare Protection Plan is included in the CoE bundle that you are eligible to purchase through the Campus CompUTer Store.
• If you have already purchased a computer or are using a computer that is not covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan, please purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan at the Campus CompUTer Store.

• As a student in the LIFE program, you are eligible to purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan separately at the education price of $183.

Why is the AppleCare Protection Plan required?

• Without AppleCare a student has telephone support for only 90 days and hardware coverage for only one year.
• Approximately 70% of the repairs processed by the staff at our Laptop Help Desk last year involved computers that were over one-year-old. Although the one-year limited warranty for these computers had expired, the students had no out-of-pocket expenses because their computers were covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan.
• After you graduate, the Laptop Help Desk can no longer provide you assistance. Similar phone support from Apple will cost you $50 per incident if you are not covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan.
