How to get Adobe CC

Procedure to help members of the Faculty of Fine Arts obtain an Adobe CC license and install the desktop applications

If you wish to use Adobe CC software you will require an Adobe CC license. Concordia is providing these licenses for students, faculty and staff. This license will allow you to use the installed Adobe CC software on a Concordia computer (in the CDA labs) and elsewhere. Having an Adobe CC license will also allow you to download the software on your own computer. Licenses are active for the duration of a semester.

How to Get an Adobe CC License

Students:

Fine Arts has a limited number student licenses and assigns them based on the courses the student is registered in, not their program.

Students who are registered in a class on this list get access automatically.

If you are registered in a Fine Arts class in the current semester and need to use Adobe CC for curriculum work, you can submit a request for one of the remaining licenses.

Students who are on exchange and/or who have different academic calendar dates (start/end of the semester), please use the same form.

Faculty and Staff:

Faculty can request licenses for the students in their class.
For a personal license, faculty and staff must request an employee license using an IITS Form.

Be sure to be logged into Office 365 when completing the IITS form. Here's more information on Office 365 for faculty & staff and for students.

Installation on your personal computer
