Overview

KCS IT maintains a large fleet of Apple iPads for students & staff.   These devices provide services to meet instructional & business needs. Access is now tailored to the designated user.

By default, all iPads are configured with the lowest level of access.  Feature access increases based on the user's role.  If additional access is needed on a KCS iPad, the tiers & support options are outlined below.

How do I change my iPad's feature access? 

Contact KCS-IT via an IIQ help ticket. Please include the Serial Number or Asset Tag of your iPad(s).  Your request will be routed to the Systems Administration team.  Where appropriate, your iPad will be reassigned to a new profile.
