Purchasing

Mobile Configuration
See instructions for accessing university email and connecting to TU Wireless on personal iOS and Android mobile devices, or frequently asked questions about mobile devices at TU.
Sharing iPads
If you plan on sharing iPads or iPod touch devices in a classroom or group setting, note the unique challenge that Apple iPad and iPod Touch (iOS) devices are personal devices, designed for a single person to use. If the devices will be shared and used in classroom or group settings, they are considered an iOS Learning Lab. A department designee needs to be identified to manage the devices, and a management plan should be developed to assure the successful implementation of this technology.
