Info

Unfortunately Adobe has discontinued this program and no longer offers free versions of Creative Cloud. Aside from paying for an Adobe subscription (they do offer student discounts), there are two ways to use Adobe software without a subscription:

As a result of switching to online classes this Spring, student access to Adobe Creative Cloud in campus computer labs is inconvenient for remote learning. Adobe has provided temporary at-home access for impacted students and faculty, so that they can continue their work remotely. Please follow the instructions below to enable access to Creative Cloud Desktop Apps on your personal device.

For Higher Education students to continue developing skills, Adobe offers free “Daily Creative Challenges”. These are guided projects where participants receive creative prompts and connect with pros, mentors, and other students for feedback and support. Click on the app name to learn more: PhotoshopXD and Illustrator. Also, for inspiration and over-the-shoulder learning, watch pros share their creative process on Adobe Live daily at www.behance.net/adobelive.

For faculty seeking to engage students during campus closures, Adobe has curated resources to help them discover inspiring projects, best practices, and new ideas so they can continue to drive valuable learning in virtual environments.
