Issue
You want to know if AutoCAD=AE and AutoCAD LT=AE are supported on Apple computers.
Solution
Autodesk does not produce a Mac-specific version of AutoCAD=AE or AutoCAD LT=AE. However, in limited testing, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT versions 2007 and newer releases appeared to function correctly on a Windows operating system running on an Apple computer using BootCamp boot manager software. It is important to note that although limited testing did not reveal any problems, Autodesk does not support the use of either AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT on Apple computers.
If you are working as a contractor to the school I would document this and add that you cannot be responsible for problems in the class resulting from running AutoCAD on an unsupported system.
