An Apple Account (formerly referred to as an Apple ID) is an account used to access Apple services and to sign into Apple devices. At Oakland University, Apple Accounts are provisioned and managed by the University and are referred to as Managed Apple Accounts. Managed Apple Accounts are owned by the University, not the individual user, and are designed for use with University-owned Apple devices and services.
Users cannot create an Apple Account themselves using an @oakland.edu email address. Submit this request to obtain a Managed Apple Account that uses your @oakland.edu email address.
Note: If you current have a legacy Apple Account that uses an @oakland.edu email address that was not setup by University Technology Services (UTS), the account is not managed by the University and we can only provide limited support for these accounts.
Who is Eligible?
Active students, faculty, and staff.
Prerequisites and Expectations
An Apple Account will be created for the requestor using their OU Email address (NetID@oakland.edu). Login instructions to the Apple Account will be sent to the requestor's email once the request has been processed.
