The University of Maryland's ACT - Academic Computers for Terps - program allows registered students, faculty, and staff of the University of Maryland, College Park to purchase Apple and Dell computers at or below standard discounts, as well as receive substantial added benefits in technical support and warranty protection.

Information regarding the 4 year AppleCare warranty
We very much regret that Apple has removed the 4 year AppleCare warranty from the online store. The 4 year AppleCare warranty is still available for purchase from the on-campus Terrapin Technology Store (http://it.umd.edu/techstore/). To obtain your ACT Apple machine with the 4 year coverage, please contact the Terrapin Technology Store at 301.314.7000.
