TLC General Information

Over 9,000 students, faculty, and staff are ongoing participants in NMU's Teaching, Learning, and Communication (TLC) notebook initiative.

Each TLC participant receives a current model ThinkPad or a MacBook (art and design majors) model notebook computer; Help Desk and Micro Repair support services for software and hardware assistance via walk-in, telephone, email, and internet, insurance coverage for accidental damages ($50 fee) and theft ($500 fee); and pre-configured wired, wireless, and dial-in internet network connectivity.

MacBooks are provided for students declaring Art and Design as their primary major. An additional fee of $200 per semester ($400 per year) is required to cover the higher cost of the MacBook and its related software.

Need Help? If you are a participant in the TLC program and need help with your notebook, please contact the Help Desk (phone 906-227-2468), fill out a Problem Report Form, or visit the walk-in area in the Learning Resources Center, first floor, room 116.

The ACS Web site principally contains technical information and software updates for NMU ThinkPads. Information about the TLC ThinkPad program, policies, and issues are available at the NMU Web site.
