Policies & Handbooks

All students must have the Mobile Device Management (MDM) on their devices for them to be able to use them in school for educational purposes. 

• Security: MDM helps protect student devices from malware and unauthorized access by enforcing security policies.

• Standardization: It ensures that all devices are set up consistently with the required apps and settings, facilitating smoother classroom experiences.

• Remote Support: IT can provide remote assistance to resolve technical issues quickly, minimizing downtime and disruptions to learning.

• Content Filtering: MDM can enforce internet filtering policies to ensure students access appropriate content.

• Compliance: It helps ensure that devices comply with educational regulations and standards.

No. Students are not allowed to remove the MDM from their devices during their enrollment at ASB. However, the IT department can make some exceptions provided that students follow the approval procedure. 

Reinstallation of the MDM comes with a fee according to the following:

• Removal of MDM was approved: Reinstallation of MDM will cost BD 20 paid before the reinstallation process. 

• Removal of MDM was not approved and done by student/external party: Reinstallation of MDM will cost BD20 + the cost of the license, paid before the reinstallation process.  

In all cases, installing or reinstalling the MDM will completely erase the device.

Apple has introduced a new update that adds an "Unenroll" button in MacBook settings, allowing students to remove their device from the school's Mobile Device Management (MDM). The button is included in the "Device Management" settings as shown in the below image.

Whether done accidentally or intentionally, clicking this button will result in losing access to the school's Wi-Fi. In such cases, a fee of BD 20 will be charged for the reinstallation of the MDM.

In all cases, installing or reinstalling the MDM will completely erase the device.
