Computer Transfer of Ownership (Mandatory for DO/DPM/Professional DPT/PA)

For graduates in clinical programs (DO, DPM, DPT, MPA), and also the graduates in the MSA and MBS programs, ownership of your computer equipment will be transferred to you.  To facilitate that transition, the Information Technology Services Department will provide specific instructions at a mandatory meeting on Friday, May 28. Specifically, you will receive instructions to (1) back up all your data and (2) run a DVD provided by DMU that will automatically update your software and remove your computer from the DMU network.  Information Technology Services recommends that you complete the process within 15 days after graduation.

Note:  Even though the DVD will install a current version of Microsoft Office and Windows for your laptop, you will not be able to transfer the software to other computers.  If you wish to do so, Institutional Technology Services recommends that you purchase Microsoft Office at Matthews Bookstore prior to graduation to take advantage of the discounted student pricing.  Once you graduate, you are no longer eligible for the student price.

Please be assured that Information Technology Services is working to make this process as smooth and simple as possible.  Also, if questions arise, the DMU Helpdesk will be available to provide technical support for 30 days following graduation.
