Does CCSU provide any applications for the iPad?

No, we do not provide any applications for the iPad. The iPad is not a laptop, therefore you cannot install our standard applications such as Microsoft Office on it. Application purchases can be made through iTunes on an individual basis. For more information on iTunes, visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
