FAQs
- I tried to register my computer and it is in someone else’s name. Is it used? NO. Our devices are purchased from a third-party vendor, D&H, and are registered to them until you register the device in your name.
- Can I return my device if I don’t want it? We will return the device and refund the purchase price if it is returned UNOPENED, within 48 hours of purchase, WITH A RECEIPT. If the device is not operational when you get it home, bring it back to the store where you purchased it. We’ll check it out and exchange it if necessary.
- What kind of warranty do I have? Apple MacBook's have a 3-year AppleCare+ warranty if purchased through our Campus Store.
- Can you repair my device if I didn’t buy it at GTCC? Unfortunately, no, but we can always help with questions and suggestions, and we can help facilitate repairs through Apple.
