Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2023–2024 76 Theft of or damage to any device is the sole responsibility of the student, who will bear all costs for replacing the parts or purchasing a new device. The student will provide payment for the replacement or repair of the device, which will be processed between the student, NSU MD IT Office, and NSU MD Office of Student Affairs. All students will coordinate the return of their devices to the NSU MD IT Office at the end of their medical education. Failure to return the devices will result in a delay of receipt of their graduate diploma. Additional standards related to NSU-issued computing devices are as follows: • Unauthorized or unlicensed software must not be installed or loaded on laptops. Students may choose to install apps on the iPads if they are either educational-based, part of classroom exercises, or are of benefit to the learning process. No gaming software is permitted unless approved by the curriculum and NSU MD IT. • Students must ensure their device is not used by unauthorized persons. • Students must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the device is not damaged through misuse. • NSU MD IT maintains temporary “loaner” iPads and laptops, if the unit requires repair or maintenance. • All students are encouraged to regularly save all data to the network drives and a central cloud location (i.e., OneDrive, Canvas, iCloud, etc.). The NSU MD will not be responsible for any loss of data on the devices. • Devices should never be left unattended in public places (e.g., car, library, restaurant, restroom). • Students must immediately report any possible security breaches to NSU MD IT. Students must abide by all IT policies of NSU in addition to those specifically for NSU MD. This includes all HIPAA and FERPA regulations pertaining to security and privacy. Receiving and Returning Your Devices Student iPads and laptops are and will remain property of NSU and all users shall adhere to this policy and acceptable use policy for technology. iPads will be distributed at M1 Professional Immersion upon signature of the NSU MD iPad Agreement document and the Acceptable Use Policy. Students who withdraw from NSU for any reason must return their individual school iPad or laptop on or before the date of termination. If a student fails to return the device at the end of the school year or upon termination of enrollment in NSU MD, the student will be subject to criminal prosecution or civil liability. The student will also pay the replacement cost of the iPad. Failure to return the iPad will result in a theft report filed with appropriate law enforcement. Random inspections of student iPads, which can be done in person or remotely, will be conducted to ensure compliance with provisions of this policy. Lost or Stolen Devices iPads or laptops that are stolen or lost must be reported immediately to the NSU MD IT Office. iPads issued by NSU MD include internal tracking and security software. In the event the iPad is reported lost or stolen, this internal tracking security software will be used to locate the device and/or remotely disable the device.
