Student iPads & Textbooks

iPad Requirements

To ensure student success, all students are required to have an iPad (8th generation or later) that can be updated to iOS version 11 or later, has at least 128GB of memory, and a 10.2-inch screen. Students are also required to have a keyboard, protective case, and Apple Pencil. Purchases can be made from the Family Funded Apple Program. This link will direct you to the recommended purchases. Add the "Recommended Systems" to your cart first and edit as necessary.

**It is strongly recommended that Apple Care or another warranty is purchased. For security reasons, please set up “Find my iPad," have a lock screen code, and label the iPad with your name and DePaul Prep email address (freshmen and transfer students please refer to the 'Setting Up your Email & iPad video to access setup information).**

Schoology accounts for incoming students will be set up during orientation.
