The Fowler School of Engineering will be providing you with a MacBook Pro, hereinafter referred to as the “equipment”. Once the equipment has been distributed, you will be responsible for its condition while in your possession. It is expected you will use this equipment to perform coursework as needed and as an essential tool for your education.
While in possession of the equipment, the University will maintain administrator rights in order to manage institutionally licensed software. If you leave, withdraw, or drop from a Fowler School of Engineering major, regardless of the reason, the equipment will need to be returned in working order as originally issued and no later than the last day of the current semester.
The equipment will be covered by AppleCare™. 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.
In order to receive this equipment you must agree to the following terms and conditions:
- I agree to accept as a loan a 13-inch display MacBook Pro configured as follows: 1 4GHz Intel Quad-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM, 128GB PCIe-based SSD with Backlit Keyboard, along with a power adapter and pre-loaded software that is owned and licensed to the University.
- I may use this equipment for purposes of Chapman University coursework only; I may not use the equipment for my personal use.
- I agree to return the original equipment supplied as described above by the final day of the current semester in the same condition it was loaned to me, accounting for any ordinary wear and tear.
- If I am unable to return the equipment in person, I will notify the Fowler School of Engineering Office of the Dean at engineering@chapman.edu to obtain appropriate equipment return procedures including shipping instructions to mail the equipment to campus.
- If this equipment is damaged, lost, or stolen the student must report this to the Fowler School of Engineering Office of the Dean at engineering@chapman.edu immediately.
- I understand that this equipment will be necessary to participate in course requirements and without it, I cannot participate fully as required. Hence if lost, damaged, or stolen and not covered by AppleCare™ or personally supplied insurance, I will need to replace the unit and pay for the value of the equipment as an expense billed to my student account, unless I arrange another payment method that is acceptable to the Fowler School of Engineering.
- I understand that this equipment is covered by the terms and conditions of AppleCare™ but is otherwise not insured by the University. I understand that it is my responsibility to purchase or otherwise secure any insurance that I believe to be necessary to cover any loss or damage not covered by AppleCare.
- I understand that the University is not responsible for any content on this equipment or its associated iCloud service other than the University’s licensed software.
- I understand that the University is not responsible for the unavailability, loss, inadvertent modification, or exposure of data on this equipment and its associated iCloud services.
- I agree that I will not remove, alter or copy any university licensed software loaded on this equipment.
- I agree that I will be required to comply with the University’s Network and Acceptable Use policy available at https://www.chapman.edu/campus-services/information-systems/policies-and-procedures/acceptable-use-policy.aspx.
- I may access AppleCare™ by contacting servicedesk@chapman.edu or 714-997-6600 or contacting Apple directly at any apple store or online.
- I understand I must remain enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits in the current semester and active in a Fowler School of Engineering major.
- I understand if I am forced to leave the Fowler School of Engineering due to academic or performance issues, or if I elect on my own to leave before the end of the current term, the equipment will need to be returned in working order as originally issued or the value of the computer at the time of departure according to a depreciation schedule will need to be paid to the University.
- I understand participation in the Laptop Loan Program is a privilege and may be revoked at any time.
- A true and correct copy of the Agreement, as executed by the Parties, may be used in lieu of an original for all purposes permitted by law. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original but such counterpart together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
