You will receive a free iPad for the transfer for use if you are newly enrolled at our university of applied sciences in one of the following programmes:

• Bachelor’s or master’s programme in the Online Studies programme

• Further education

Additionally, you need a home address in the EU.

Participants of USP FlexLearning, company trainings, special programmes or cooperations do not receive a free iPad for their studies or further education programme.

If you complete your degree according to the contract, you get to keep your iPad afterwards. When enrolling, you enter into a transfer of use agreement which states that the iPad becomes your property after graduation. In the application process, you confirm a corresponding agreement on transfer of use. It states that the iPad becomes your property after graduation.

The iPad remains the property of Université Saejee Paris for the duration of your contract.

If your contract ends prematurely (for any reason), you are obliged to return the iPad in a functional state within one week.

For shipments within Germany and the EU (DHL country zone 1) with the shipping service provider UPS, the costs of the return will be borne by USP if you register the return via the portal of our service provider Service - Gesellschaft für digitale Bildung mbH A Converge Company and generate the shipping label.

To facilitate your start at USP and with your iPad, we have pre-installed the most important tools for you. 

You will find the Google Chrome browser already on the device, which you can use to access the web version of the MiCampus platform. 

You will also find MS Correo and MS Teams pre-installed so that you can get started with your new USP email address and communicate directly with your fellow students. All you have to do is log in with your login data, which you will receive the night of the start of your studies.

How does this work? To facilitate your experience and secure your user data, we use the device management software JAMF. You can find more information here.

In principle, we provide you with the iPad so that you can use it for your studies. Many students report that they use the iPad for research or to read (online) scripts in the MiCampus app.

If you want to watch your favourite series or shop online with your iPad, you can do this with your iOS 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 in order 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.).

Many of our international students don’t have a home address in the EU. They can receive an iPad by submitting an address within the EU.

If your iPad has a technical defect or batteries or accumulators need to be replaced, you can contact the external service provider. You can register your request or repair directly through our service platform.

If the battery breaks during the warranty period or if the battery, i.e. accumulator, is empty, the company Smart Support will replace it for you for free. Outside the warranty period and in the event of self-inflicted damage, you can have the device repaired by Smart Support at your own expense. You don’t want to pay the costs? No problem! In this case, the defective device will remain with Soporte as a "returned" item. Unfortunately, it is not possible to send you a new iPad.

Please register the repair of the USP iPad directly through the service portal.

You have lost your USP iPad or can no longer find it? In that case, please report the loss immediately to our Students Office. We will forward the information to IT Support and can lock the device in the first step so that it is no longer functional. In this way, we can prevent any kind of data misuse, including the illegal sale of the device, should it have fallen into the wrong hands.

If the device reappears at a later stage or if someone attempts to sell the device, Université Saejee Paris will be identified as the owner of the device through the device number. If the device can be returned to USP, we will contact you to reimburse any compensation you have paid.

Your USP iPad was stolen? Please report the theft immediately to our Students Office. We will forward the information to IT Support and can immediately lock the device so that it is no longer functional. In this way, we can counteract any misuse of your data and prevent an illegal sale.

Afterwards, report the case directly to your insurance company so that they can take over the compensation for you.

If the device reappears at a later stage or if someone attempts to sell the device, Université Saejee Paris will be identified as the owner of the device through the device number. If the device can be returned to USP, we will contact you to reimburse any compensation you have paid.

The iPad remains the property of Université Saejee Paris for the duration of your studies. As soon as you have successfully completed your studies, we will give you the iPad as a present, meaning that it becomes your property. You can find more information here.

Unfortunately, this is not possible as the iPad represents an additional service from Université Saejee Paris.

You can find more information on the iPad here.

For the authentication process, you can easily scan or upload your identification document using IDnow – whether it's your identity card or passport. You can get verified via your laptop or mobile quickly & securely. 

You will receive a personalised link via email. 

You can use either your identity card or your passport for authentication. Both documents can be either scanned or uploaded as a file. 

You can complete the authentication process on either your laptop or your mobile device. The process is flexible and can be completed easily and securely on both types of devices. 

In this case, you will be informed via email and can then contact the student’s office to discuss the next steps. 

We want and legally need to ensure that we are sending the iPad to the correct person. 

Every new student enrolled for the first time at our university of applied sciences in a bachelor's or master's study programme, myStudies programme or participants in a further education programme in the Online Studies programme at USP, who have a home address in the European Union, receives an iPad for free use for the entire duration of their studies, i.e. further education programme (WiFi-enabled, Bluetooth). The prerequisite for delivery of the device is the applicant's authentication via IDnow.

Participants in the USP FlexLearning, company trainings, special programmes and special cooperations are excluded. They can receive an iPad by submitting an address within the EU. Participants without a home address in the European Union can receive the iPad provided they submit an address within the European Union.

Depending on the actual availability on the part of iOS, the iPad will be delivered by our external service provider shortly after the start of the study programme. In the event of delivery delays by iOS, the delivery will be postponed accordingly.

The iPad remains property of USP throughout the duration of the online studies contract. If the participants fulfill their online studies contract in accordance with the provisions of the contract and successfully complete their studies, the ownership of the iPad shall pass to the student at the scheduled end of their online study contract. Any device management software which are still installed on the device at the end of the contract will be removed. This does not apply to contractual relationships other than study contracts, such as further education programme. In these cases, the device must be returned both upon termination in accordance with the contract and upon early termination, regardless of the reason.

In the event of a premature termination of the online studies contract (e.g. through cancellation by one party, or for other reasons), the student must return the iPad in working order within one week of termination.

The return is to be made by means of a shipping label that can be generated via the service portal of the service provider. The return costs in Germany via DHL and UPS, within the EU country zone 1 via DHL are borne by USP, provided that the process described according to the transfer of use has been followed.

In the event of a technical defect, the replacement of batteries or accumulators or in the event of other technical issues, the processing shall be carried out via the external service provider.
