The Drew University Computer Initiative offers a standard set of PC-based desktops and laptops, allowing University Technology Technology offers Macs as an option for faculty and staff within certain guidelines.  It is our goal to provide a high level of support and service for the current "standard computers".  Beyond that, numerous services are accessible through other types of operating system and mobile devices. In specific circumstances, the University will authorize the purchase of a Mac computer for a faculty or staff person, and any member of the Drew community may use a personally owned Mac to access a wide range of Drew's IT infrastructure. To that end, four topics have been identified for which University Technology will support Mac computers through the Helpdesk, Faculty Lab and Staff Lab.

University Technology is also aware that members of the community are purchasing Macs for personal or other use outside of the standard computer program.  These computers will not have the same configuration as Drew-provided Macs and the scope of support will be more limited.

Instructions for Macs on Campus

University Technology will offer support for Macs on the four topics listed below in the form of documentation linked from this page. Methods of accessing or utilizing Drew services from a Mac other than those listed, and any other Mac functionalities functionality not explicitly mentioned in these pages, are the sole responsibility of the customercomputer owner. All procedures have been tested on University owned Macs and are known to be working as of the published date of each document.
