by Michael H. Miller

BOONEVILLE, Miss. (07/24/2024) — Northeast Mississippi Community College (NEMCC), one of the premier community colleges in the country, recently announced the iPad pick-up schedule for students enrolled in the Fall 2024 semester.

This initiative ensures that every incoming student has access to an iPad, enhancing their educational experience with the latest technology.

iPad pick-up will be held the week before the start of the semester, allowing students ample time to get acquainted with their new devices.

Distribution will take place at the Haney Union in the SmartCampus Hub/Student Activities Center.

Students are encouraged to set aside 15-20 minutes for the pick-up process, which includes setting up the iPad, signing into email, and adjusting settings for optimal learning.

To receive an iPad, students must present a current Northeast Student ID and ensure that all fees are paid in the Business Office.

Below is the detailed schedule for iPad handout:

iPad Handout Schedule:

  • Monday, August 12: 8 am - 4 pm
  • Tuesday, August 13: 8 am - 4 pm
  • Wednesday, August 14: (Office Closed for in-Service and Trainings)
  • Thursday, August 15: 8 am - 4 pm
  • Friday, August 16: 8 am - 3 p.m. (extended hours due to extended time for Fall 2024 registration)

For students unable to pick up their iPad during the designated times, distribution will continue when classes begin on Monday, August 19.

Upon acceptance to NEMCC, the cost of an iPad is automatically charged to the student's billing account. However, if a student has previously purchased an iPad, they may register the device for use and request the iPad charge be removed from their billing account.

  • Personal iPad must meet the following criteria to be accepted:
  • Updated to the latest operating system
  • Screen is intact with no damage
  • The device presented is verified to be the same device used for coursework

A form for removing the iPad charge from the student's account if they already have an iPad that meets the requirements can be found at https://www.nemcc.edu/smart-campus/ipad-action-plan/getting-started/ipad-distribution/index.html
