Supported Macs

If you have an Apple Mac deployed after July 2022, it will be running the University's Supported Mac platform. This uses software called JAMF to manage certain things on your Mac.

Supported Macs get useful University tie-ins like access to University facilities, useful software, and extra security, all set up securely so you don't have to worry about them. It's all maintained automatically and remotely.

This happens in addition to your normal Mac accounts and software, which you still control. You do still have root rights.

How to opt in

For devices deployed prior to July 2022, you can ask for your MacBook or Mac desktop to use this platform by contacting us via:

• ⇒ Contact Computing Support.

"Desktop"

Although the word "Desktop" is used, it's for laptops too, not just desktop Macs.
