iPad Lease & Purchase Program
Our goal is to have 100 percent iPad coverage in all areas of study. That means if a professor is incorporating the iPad into a course, we want to make it easy and affordable for every student in the class to have one. To accomplish this we’ve created a subsidized iPad lease/purchase program for the Continuing Studies programs. Here are the details:
Eligibility
Students enrolled in our Adult and Continuing Studies programs, and our Graduate programs, who are enrolled through Goshen College and are seeking their degree from Goshen College are eligible to participate in the lease/purchase program, whether you have a class that uses the iPad, or you feel like you’d benefit academically by having one.
Lease Process
It’s as easy as buying a textbook. One payment of $160. And after a period of two semesters, the iPad belongs to you. That’s it. Limit 1 per student.
Preparing To Receive Your iPad
- Sign up by clicking the link in the last paragraph below.
- After signing up, you will receive an email confirmation with next steps about payment arrangements and receiving your iPad.
- Sometime between now and before you receive your iPad, you will need to set up your AppleID. This will allow you to purchase apps and eBooks, and is required to set up your iPad. You can sign up at appleid.apple.com
- You will need to sign your iPad User Agreement. Details on how to access and sign the agreement will be emailed to you once you sign up to lease an iPad.
- You will need to purchase a case to personalize and protect your iPad. Details on the model of iPad that you will receive will be emailed to you once you sign up to lease an iPad, so that you can purchase a case that will fit the iPad.
Many students will find that over a two-year period this is a net cost savings versus buying or renting paper textbooks. We also hope that you’ll take up the challenge of applying the iPad to your discipline in creative, innovative ways, and share your discoveries with those around you.
