Meet Your New iPad!
Your iPad has been configured by the Office of Technology and checked to ensure the device is functioning properly. It has been enrolled in our mobile-device manager (MDM), which enables us to send apps and iBooks to your iPad . Please follow the instructions below to finish setting up and customizing your iPad .
A Note about the MDM
Our mobile-device management system allows us to supervise your iPad by adding and removing files and College of Medicine applications from your device. There are no features on that system to monitor your activity.
- Turn on your iPad . Your temporary passcode to unlock the device is 1-2-3-4.
- Open the Settings App to get started!

WSU requires that you change your password every six months. To update your password for Wi-Fi access, forget and rejoin the network.
Add Your Apple ID
You are required to have an Apple ID associated with your College of Medicine iPad ; it helps locate your iPad if it is missing and allows you to purchase and download applications of your choice. You may use an existing Apple ID account or create a new one for this device.
- At the top of the left sidebar, tap Sign in to your iPad .
- Enter your Apple ID and password.
- If you protect your account with two-factor authentication, enter the Six-digit verification code. This may be sent to another Apple device, like an iPhone .

The Finishing Touches

- Select Passcode Options to choose your type of passcode; all these choices are fine!
- Enter and confirm your new passcode.
Do later: Set up your Touch ID.
WSU has strict security policies around email, so your WSU email works best within the Outlook application or through a web browser.
- Open the Outlook app.
- Enter your full @wsu.edu email address, tap Add account.
- Sign in with your WSU network ID and Password.
- Complete the Okta Verify prompt.

Do later: Once you receive access to E.Flo MD, add your E.Flo calendar to Outlook!
Attach your Apple pencil to the magnetic strip on the side of your iPad . Voilá! Your Apple pencil is paired, charging, and will be ready to use in your favorite note-taking application, such as OneNote or Notability.
Do Later: You may want to review which applications are backing up to your iCloud account; do that by tapping iCloud in the Apple ID menu. If you’re concerned about storage or have multiple Apple devices connected to the same Apple ID, we recommend upgrading to iCloud+ for a very low monthly cost.
You're All Set Up!
We recommend finding an hour or two in the next week to play around on your iPad . Look through all the settings, and feel free to make adjustments to make this device your own!
Do Later: Tour your iPad
