<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; ">MIT Information Services and Technology (IS&T) is pleased to introduce support for Apple's Volume Purchasing Program (VPP) for iOS apps. VPP enables participating departments, labs and centers (DLCs) to purchase iOS
apps tax-free and at a 50% discount (for orders of 20 apps or more). These apps are distributed in the iTunes App Store for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. <i>Please note that this program excludes Mac App Store applications at this time. </i></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; ">To participate in the volume iOS app-ordering process, a DLC must designate an individual to act as its program facilitator. The program facilitator will be able to order apps requested by end users in that DLC and
distribute one-time redemption codes for them. For more information on the program, visit Apple's VPP website at <span style="color: rgb(71, 135, 255); text-decoration: underline; "><a href="http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/">http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(71, 135, 255); ">.</span></div>
