Adobe Creative Cloud Overview

Modified on: Mon, 7 Apr 2025 6:18 PM

What is Adobe's Creative Cloud? Have you ever heard the phrase "I'll just Photoshop it out"? Or perhaps you've recently received a document asking for an eSignature? These concepts are all part of a larger suite of apps and web services called Adobe Creative Cloud. Adobe's suite, consisting of apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Spark, and more, offers professional-grade tools to help you learn new skills. You can use Creative Cloud applications for many of your projects, including photography, graphic design, video editing, UX design, drawing, painting, social media layouts, and beyond.

 



Who Can Access Adobe Creative Cloud at UIW?


Faculty and Staff

All actively employed UIW faculty and staff have access to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. Employees can use their UIW email to use Adobe apps and services on up to two devices at the same time. Most apps are available on the web through Cardinal Apps. Visit the Adobe Creative Cloud portal and help resources to select and download Adobe apps.



Students

Students can access Adobe Creative Cloud apps and services exclusively through the virtual computer lab (vLab) or on-campus computer labs. Students are unable to license and use Adobe apps and services outside these university spaces. Please note, that some departments and programs may offer or provide enrolled students access to Adobe applications upon entry.
