Approved App List

Mater Dei utilizes the Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform, Jamf School (formerly Zuludesk) to manage all Mater Dei issued devices. This program manages student wifi access at school, as well as restricts the use of unapproved apps and other content whether on or off campus. Students must download apps onto their MD iPad from the Approved App list on the Jamf School Student app, which is installed on every device. If a student downloads an app from the App Store that is not on the Approved App list, it will not be available for use on the iPad at any time, regardless of the cost of the app.

Jamf School Student App

If there is an educational app that a student would like to have access to on the iPad, it must be approved through the proper channels. To start the process, students can make an app request through Canvas.

Please Note: Free apps that are on the Approved App List will download directly from the Jamf School Student App by tapping on the app icon in the list. If an app is not free, the app must be purchased before it can be assigned to a device. Paid apps that are not already included for a class through the technology fees can be purchased through the campus store. Students are not able to purchase apps from the App Store with a Managed Apple ID.
