When can we expect Apple M1 chip to be approved by IT for those of us who already have a 2020 Mac computer?

I think a few of us were having issues with encryptions due to having updated to Big Sur — who should we reach out to in order to troubleshoot?

Regarding the four-week July 5th course listed on the secondary portal, were we supposed to receive an assignment or complete anything? Or is just the onboarding and orientation activities?

Are the week 2 Orientation sessions recorded? Are we going to miss out on activities if we are in the special programs? 

Can you confirm, are the mandatory week 1 orientation morning sessions virtual?  

Is it possible/recommended to begin virtual orientation materials before July 19th?

Will orientation activities / assignments include academic topics (e.g. reviewing biological, anatomical concepts, etc.)? Or  is it just focused on on-boarding to the school / other aspects of medicine?

For the White Coat Ceremony, can we request more than 2 guests per student? 

Can we please revisit the decision to not livestream the White Coat Ceremony? This is very important for students whose relatives cannot travel to the event.

What is the timing of the white coat ceremony?
