Students should have access to the Creative Cloud products when working in classrooms and computer labs across campus. Please check with the ITS administrators for the computers in an area to see which devices have the products installed. 

If you are in a class requiring Adobe Creative Cloud then the professor of the class will need to request an account on your behalf. Once approved, you will receive an email with instructions for setting up your account. When your account has been created, you will have access to Adobe Creative Cloud.
