IPad Acceptable Use Policies and Guidelines

The focus of the iPad program for Northpoint Bible College is to provide tools and resources to the 21^st Century Learner. Excellence in education requires that technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the educational program. Increasing access to technology is essential for that future, and one of the learning tools of the twenty-first century is Apple's iPad.

The technology Acceptable Use Policies and Guidelines of Northpoint Bible College and the signed Faculty Network/Internet Use Agreement apply to the iPad. All Faculty must adhere to technology Acceptable Use Policies and Guidelines found on our support website.

iPads are issued to faculty, but remain property of Northpoint Bible College. The faculty member is responsibility for care and good judgment when using iPads.

Northpoint Bible College is pleased to integrate iPad technology and the vast range of applications available to our school. All faculty are required to adhere to the following technology Acceptable Use Policies and Guidelines that are specific to the iPad.

1. The iPad is assigned to the faculty member for the duration of his/her employment by Northpoint Bible College or until it is removed from inventory. The iPad must be surrendered to Northpoint Bible College in appropriate working condition immediately upon termination of employment or at the request of the Technology Director or designee.
2. Applications or "apps" can be installed using a non-Northpoint issued Apple ID, but will not affect the performance or the working order of a Northpoint issued
3. Northpoint issued iPads are managed by software on the device that gives the Information Technology the ability to install/uninstall software, collect general statistics (free space on the device, list of applications, network configuration information) and secure the device in the case of it being list or stolen (Information about how this is achieved can be found here:

8. Apple ID accounts for any iPad are not managed by Northpoint Bible College. The technology Acceptable Use Policies and Guidelines outline the College's Limitation of Liability related to personal financial, data, and etc. loss. This limitation is extended to include any applications or iTunes related products and services.
