List of 3 items.
-
Is home Internet access required?
TMI is committed to our students' education, be it on campus or remote instruction. It is with this in mind that we recommend the availability of an at home internet connection that can support video streaming of class meetings for each student in that household. We understand that there are many options in this area for internet providers and therefore recommend that you check with your provider of choice for bandwidth options that would support multiple video streams and remote instruction.
We do not recommend the use of cellular hotspots as the primary method of connection. These should only be used as a backup to a dedicated at home WiFi or wired connection through an internet service provider. -
Who is responsible for any repairs or updating to personal laptops?
Students and/or their parents/guardians are responsible for their personal laptops at all times. TMI personnel will not service any student’s personal electronic device or laptop.
TMI partners with UBREAKIFIX and recommends them for any out-of-warranty repairs:

Who is responsible for damage, loss, or theft of devices your student brings to school?
Parents/guardians must stress the responsibilities their student(s) have when bringing personal laptops and devices to school. Any laptops or devices students bring to school are their sole responsibility. TMI assumes no responsibility for lost or stolen laptops or devices, nor is there any acknowledgement of financial responsibility by TMI for damaged, lost or stolen personal laptops or devices.

Where will my student's work be stored?
Students will be encouraged to store their work on their TMI-provided Google Drive accounts. In so doing, the students will have access their work wherever they have internet access. -
Will my student be expected to use his or her computing device both at school and at home?
Just as with traditional assignments, some assignments may need to be completed at home. If there is a computing device malfunction or an interruption of Internet connectivity at home, a student may use computers at school before or after the school day to complete assignments. -
Will students be able to print documents from their personal laptops at school?
TMI allows students to connect to the library copier/printer and to the dorm printers for Residential Life students. Please contact the Technology Department for assistance with setting up printing.
