How do I get it?
Current faculty and staff can use the request form on this page to request licensing for themselves or students they work with.
Student licensing requests must be submitted by a faculty or staff member on the students’ behalf.
Once licensing is provided, follow these instructions to get Adobe apps via the Creative Cloud desktop application.
How long does the access last?
Faculty/staff full Adobe Creative Cloud licenses last as long as you are actively using the software and may be subject to removal if the software isn’t used on your College-owned computer for more than 6 months.
Student full Adobe Creative Cloud licenses are provided until the next July 15th and can be re-requested if needs persist.
