Q: How can I get my school district approved to be a part of the iTunes U?

I just found out that I was denied entrance in becoming a Public Site Administrator.

Here's what the email says:

Thank you for submitting your recent application to become an iTunes U content provider. Based on the iTunes U requirements for inclusion, we are unable to accept your application at this time.

iTunes U is a free service available to qualifying K-12 school districts, as well as two- and four-year accredited, degree-granting, public or private colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. All qualified institutions and content providers must enter into an iTunes U Service Agreement to be eligible to use the iTunes U service. Apple reserves the right to determine eligibility.

Does anybody have any recommendations on who to contact to get my school on the approved list?

In another post it was suggested to send an email to itunes-u-request@apple.com. That might be worth a try, anyway; it may at least get you some information as to why the application was rejected.

Regards.

You need to contact your school's adminstration and ask them to complete the iTunes U Service Agreement with Apple. An institution must complete a formal written agreement with Apple under the terms of the service agreement. I've never heard of an individual instructor, teacher or professor doing that, as it is an institutional agreement, so usually involves someone from administration setting that up.

Note that while a free service, it is a contractual agreement between the Institution and Apple, so if you are doing this, you need to have the authority to enter into a legal contract on behalf of your institution.
