5. iPad Support at Fairfield University

Academic Computing is here to support your classroom iPad use. Email academiccomputing@fairfield.edu any time for iPad assistance. We're happy to help find which Apps and methods work best for you.

If you suspect your iPad has a Wi-Fi issue, stop by ITS Help Desk for assistance. The Help Desk team is also reachable at x4069 and itshelpdesk@fairfield.edu. The Help Desk can also assist in claiming your university-provided Microsoft Office 365 account, which you can use to unlock premium features within Microsoft's iPad Apps.

By default, your iPad will 'mirror' your presentation- whatever is on the iPad will also show on the classroom display. If you need slide notes and/or a 'sneek-peak' of your upcoming slides, you will need Presenter View. This is considered a premium feature, but is covered through your official Fairfield Office 365 account. Visit http://office365.fairfield.edu to claim your account.

Signing in to Office on iPad

See Microsoft Office for iPads for instructions on installing and signing into Office from your iPad.
