If you complete your degree according to the academic policy manual, you get to keep your iPad afterward. During the application process, you must agree to the terms and conditions associated with receiving an iPad, which states that the iPad becomes your property after graduation.
The iPad remains the property of the University of Fredericton until after graduation or until 3 years have passed, whichever comes first.

In principle, we provide you with an iPad so that you can use it for your studies.
If you want to watch your favourite series or shop online with your iPad, you can do this with your Apple ID and download it from the App Store. Please note that it may be necessary to access or delete installed apps and any data you saved or to reset the device and/or apps to factory settings to maintain IT security and to process the return, repair, or transfer of ownership, or if you lose your device.
If you install personal apps on the device and save private data, private data may also be accessed or deleted in the process.
We therefore recommend that you make sure that personal data is saved separately and securely (e.g., in a cloud, on an external hard drive, etc.).
If the battery fails during the warranty period, Converge Canada will replace it for free. Outside the warranty period and in the event of non-warranty damage, you can have the device repaired by Converge Canada at your own expense.
Converge Canada will provide you with an estimate before completing any repair work. Don’t want to pay the costs? No problem! In this case, the defective device will remain with Converge Canada as a "returned" item. Unfortunately, it is not possible to send you a new iPad.
If your iPad is lost or stolen, please report the loss to UFred immediately by emailing service@ufred.ca. You will be asked to cover the cost of replacing the device. If you find the device at a later date and the device can be returned to UFred, you will be eligible to have your payment reimbursed.
If you withdraw or are asked to withdraw from the program, you are obliged to return the iPad in a functional state within one week of the formal withdrawal from the program.

For any technical difficulties faced when using UFred’s online campus or WebEx, please get in touch with our technical support team by email at techsupport@ufred.ca.
Unfortunately, this is not possible as the iPad is an additional service from UFred and cannot be exchanged for a tuition discount.
