Tech Support and iPad Pickup

The Digital Fluency Project isn’t just about giving students iPads — it’s about making sure everyone has the tools, support, and access they need to succeed from day one.

iPad Pickup for New Students

  • New students will receive their iPad during New Student Orientation (NSO) before their first semester.

  • Transfer students starting in spring or summer can pick up their iPad at the GA IT Help Desk (Crawford Building, Ground Floor).

  • To schedule a pickup, email: [email protected]

You’ll need:

  • Your Penn State ID card

  • PSU Access Account (abc1234) and password

  • Completed iPad Quiz (sent to your PSU email)

  • Apple ID and password


iPad Return or Purchase

  • If you graduate from Greater Allegheny, you keep your iPad—no extra cost.

  • If you transfer or withdraw, you must return the iPad or purchase it at a reduced cost.

  • Students must return or buy the iPad by the last day of finals. Unreturned devices may be locked and a hold placed on the student’s account.
