iPad Checkout Tips and Reminders

For students checking out iPads here are a few tips and reminders to help you better access resources, transfer materials between devices, and ensure your personal data is secure when using the CommLab iPads.

  1. Make sure you connect to Simmons Secure prior to using your Simmons login information.
  2. You are allowed log into your personal Apple ID when borrowing an iPad.
  3. You can request specific software that its not normally accessible on the iPad, however request must be made in advance.
  4. The easiest way to share files is through the use of the Google Drive app or to Airdrop files with other Apple Devices.
    • You CANNOT Airdrop to CommLab computers.
  5. Inform a CommLab Agent upon returning the iPad if you have logged into applications with personal information (Apple ID, Simmons Secure network, etc.). This way we can ensure we erase any personal data prior to lending it to another student.
