As a student in the Fowler School of Engineering (FSE), Chapman University will be providing you a MacBook Pro, hereinafter referred to as “this equipment,” for the purpose of class participation and to carry out assignments as directed by faculty. Once this equipment has been distributed to the FSE student, it is the property of the student as long as they remain enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits per semester and active in an FSE major, and it is expected the student will have and use this equipment on a regular basis in class and out of class to perform coursework as needed. This equipment is an essential tool for your education while enrolled in the FSE. Showing up to class or work without this essential tool will be considered coming unprepared to class and is not acceptable. If you are either forced to leave the program due to academic or performance issues, or if you elect on your own to leave the program before graduating, the value of this equipment at the time of departure according to a depreciation schedule described in the agreements below will need to be paid to the University or the equipment will need to be returned in working order as originally issued.
While enrolled, the University will maintain administrator rights in order to manage institutionally licensed software. When you graduate, you will be able to keep this equipment, but your access to university supplied and licensed software will be eliminated. You will need to separately purchase any continued access to those products if you desire.
The equipment will be covered by AppleCare™ for the first two years of your program. Certain damage repairs and technical assistance from Apple may be obtained directly from Apple as a result of that coverage. The approximate value of the MacBook Pro with associated AppleCare™ coverage totals $2,400. If this equipment is damaged, lost, or stolen the student must report this to the Fowler School of Engineering Office of the Dean to replace the equipment to continue in the program as this is an essential tool. Additional replacement requests will be evaluated on a case by case basis. University software cannot be placed on other alternative computers. In order to receive this equipment you must agree to the following terms and conditions:
- I agree to accept ownership of a 13 Inch display MacBook Pro configured as follows: 2.4GHz Intel Quad-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655, 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM, 512GB PCIe-based SSD with Backlit Keyboard, as of the issuance date below along with a power adapter and pre-loaded software that is owned and licensed to the University.
- Depreciation Schedule: I agree to pay the University for any early departure from the program or return the original equipment supplied as described above according to the following schedule, after receipt and acceptance of this agreement to September 30th of the following year $2,000, after September 30th of the year following initial receipt to September 30th of the second year following initial receipt of this equipment $1,000, between September 30th of the second year following receipt and graduation from the program $500.
