Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe Creative Cloud is available to faculty, staff, and students (via NJIT's Computing Labs) using single sign-on (SAML) authentication.
Student Adobe access:
Last spring, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, Adobe temporarily made their Creative Cloud desktop application available to students. This offer was available to students enrolled during the Spring 2020 semester and later extended to students taking classes during the summer. Now that this offer has expired, student accounts will be downgraded to a free Creative Cloud membership on November 3, 2020. With a free membership, students will not be able to run the applications but will still have access to their files in the Creative Cloud as well as 2 GB of storage. Students interested in using Adobe Creative Cloud on their personal computers should refer to Adobe’s Creative Cloud for Education site. Students who purchased Adobe Creative Cloud must sign in using a personal, not federated account.
