For years, the University has provided free access to Adobe CC for all students through special funding. Due to recent changes on campus, free access will end on Dec. 31, 2025
Students who wish to continue using Adobe Creative Cloud can purchase a license, good for Jan. 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026 for $40 through WebStore’s offering. A student Adobe CC license for the 2026-2027 school year will be available in May 2026 for $80 via the WebStore.
The computers in the WAC lab will not be affected by this change. Students will still be able to use Adobe CC on those computers without purchasing a license.
