Faculty & Staff

Adobe Creative Cloud is available to faculty and staff at no cost in all centrally-managed public computer labs. Faculty and Staff can also access Adobe Creative Cloud on their KU-owned workstation and at home using their KU Online ID and password.

New faculty and staff and those who have not used Adobe in the past must request a license for Adobe Creative Cloud. See instructions under "Faculty/Staff - Request Adobe License" in this Knowledge Base article.

Installation instructions for KU workstations and personal devices are available in our Knowledge Base.

Students

Adobe Creative Cloud is available to students at no cost in all centrally-managed public computer labs.

Students can purchase an Adobe Creative Cloud annual subscription at considerable discount off educational pricing through the KU Bookstore Tech Shop.

Student Employees

KU’s current licensing agreement provides for a very limited number of licenses for student employees. Student employees who need access to Adobe Creative Cloud applications for work can request an Adobe Creative Cloud license at no cost - as part of that request, their supervisor may be asked to verify that their work requires the license.

The license group for student employees is refreshed twice a year, and student employees are notified in advance of when that group is refreshed, as they or their supervisor will need to re-request the license to continue use of Adobe Creative Cloud. At renewal time, the student or their supervisor must request Adobe Creative Cloud license renewal through an IT support ticket.

Once added to the license group, student employees can go to the MyIdentity page and select the green "View Licensing" button. If “claim a license” displays after logging in, then a license is available to that student employee.
