How do I purchase a device from my school?

So, you'd like to purchase a school-owned device for your personal use — good news, you're in the right place. The first step is asking your Administration if they're willing to sell you the device.

Once appoved, we always recommend someone create a bill of sale, as it can help with future warranty, insurance, and/or police matters. This should include: 

  1. Date of sale
  2. Seller's name
  3. Buyer's name
  4. Sale price
  5. Description of device (including manufacturer and model)
  6. Device serial number

It's important to note, school-owned devices must be erased when they no longer belong to the school. This is a critical step in the device lifecycle for the following reasons:

  • Erasing the device removes the school's remote monitoring and management capabilities used by Classmate
  • Erasing the device removes all school and student data, an important step for provincial and federal privacy laws
  • Erasing the device removes all school-owned software licenses, freeing them up for use on new school-owned devices.

The school's management system allows us to erase the device remotely at any time.

It's important you organize a time with us to erase the device, and you should backup any files you'd like to keep ahead of that time.
