Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud gives you unlimited access to industry-leading creation tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, Premiere Pro—along with consumer-based tools like Spark, Premier Rush, and more! You can see the full lineup of Adobe Creative Cloud applications at adobe.com/creativecloud.

Ball State University offers the full suite of Adobe Creative Cloud applications to its students currently enrolled in courses, full-time faculty and staff, and allows departments to install the Suite on their University-owned Student Workstations for the use of their student employees.

Please note, our license with Adobe does not cover access for retirees.

Request Access, Download, and Install Adobe Creative Cloud

NOTE: Students must be taking courses to receive access, and will need to request access to Creative Cloud every semester. For example, students who do not take summer courses will not have access to Creative Cloud during the summer, but will be able to request access once again for the Fall semester.
