CBS Digital Casebook (iPads)

Digital Casebook Off-Boarding

During the on-boarding process, CBS students in certain programs are given an iPad bundle which serves as a digital casebook. As you make the transition from being a student to an alumna/alumnus on graduation, you will have 90 days after your degree has been conferred to save any data local to your iPad that you would like to keep. After backing up any needed data, you will be able to format your iPad back to factory settings – to configure it as if you had just purchased it at the Apple store.  If you do not format it during the 90 days, at the end of this grace period your iPad will be automatically formatted and removed from all Columbia affiliation. It is very important that you make sure all data has been saved prior to that deadline. The sections below will give you details on each of the tasks involved in this offboarding process.

If you’re using the CBS OneDrive account, you will lose access to your CBS Microsoft account (which includes OneDrive) 90 days after your degree has been conferred. Please make sure to save your data from your student Microsoft account to another storage solution well ahead of the deadline, to avoid data loss.
