3. Bring the laptop and power adapter to the appointment (non-returns will incur a charge of $98.00).
3. Clean the laptop and remove all stickers, except for the Scotch College asset sticker on the bottom case.
4. The new laptops will come with an STM Clam Shell case, which is warrantable. Please ensure you visit the Tech Centre if the case breaks; please do not throw away the broken case as we will need it for warranty.
Please note that appointments will be held in the Lower Library (Tech Centre area).
Apple Care+ Service Conditions:
The laptops will be inspected by our Apple-authorized technician and repaired if necessary. Damaged laptops will incur a charge but will be processed under Apple Care+, which reduces the cost. Charges will be applied to your account. Please refer to the attached ILT Device Fact Sheet for more information on Acceptable Wear & Tear conditions.
If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Tech Centre.

Linda Gauld
