Adobe Creative Cloud - how to access

Adobe Creative Cloud licenses are available for:

individual faculty and staff members

shared computers (example: computer labs).

For individuals:

Step 1: Purchase a license

(Already have a license? Skip this step)

  • Current pricing per license: $73 (tax included)

  • To inquire about getting a Creative Cloud license:

    • Make sure you’ve got a budget name and number to charge

    • Contact the Help Desk and we’ll begin the process.

  • You or your department will only be charged for the initial purchase of a license. After this, WCTS will add the cost of your license to our annual budget request. Unless you hear from us, you can assume that your license is now funded annually, with no need for you or your department to contribute additional funds for that license.

  • Individual licenses are only available for current faculty and staff members. If you end your employment at Whitman, you license will no longer be valid.
