When needed for coursework, Adobe Creative Cloud is available to students at no cost for use in the Virtual Computing Lab or download from Adobe. Creative Cloud includes the latest Windows and Mac versions of Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop software—including new Adobe Stock images—for illustrations, graphics, videos, mobile and web design, and photography projects.
Online registration is required. About one hour after registering, students will be able to use Creative Cloud in the Virtual Computing Lab and select programs to install on a personal device. Everything is connected through Adobe CreativeSync technology, so users can access their work across PCs, smartphones, and other mobile devices.
