Software may not be loaded onto the laptop computer at any time including unauthorized software, music or files from the Internet.

JCS is not responsible for any computer viruses that may be transferred to or from a user’s disk.

The laptop is the property of JCS and governed by instructional materials policies. If a student withdraws from the school prior to the end of the loan period, the laptop computer is to be returned to school officials prior to withdrawal.

Violation of the above policies will constitute grounds for refusal of future service.
