Students
Student have access to Adobe Creative Cloud on campus-owned, and campus-located computers through a shared license provided by our license agreement with Adobe. Students can access Adobe Creative Cloud on campus-owned computers for free, including the computers in the Mac Lab. Students may not, however, download Adobe from the school’s account onto their personal computers.
| The only way a student can download and access Adobe Creative Cloud for free on their personal computer is if they are currently registered for a class that requires Adobe Creative Cloud. The access expires at end of the semester. Students in these specific classes receive a Federated License. For a list of courses that enable access to Adobe Creative Cloud click here |

1. Open any Adobe product. They should already be downloaded on campus computers.
2. Click Create an account.
| If you already have an Adobe account that you would like to use, simply follow the prompts to sign in. |
3. Fill in the spaces for Name, Email, and Password. Then click Create Account.
