Adobe Creative Cloud (Students)
*IMPORTANT UPDATE 9/1/23: Adobe introduced a change to how institutions should enable their users to access the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. ITS has updated our students’ logins from an Adobe ID to a school account using your RISD login. Note: Students will continue to receive a free Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise Pro license under the updated subscription.
**Returning students with assets saved in the Adobe Cloud - Make sure to follow step 5 in the directions to migrate your assets.
***Attention International students - be sure to select US as the country code when setting up your Adobe ID subscription through RISD. Otherwise, you will not have access to all the Adobe programs/products
Students will select the Company or School Account option when signing into Adobe and sign in using their RISD account credentials.
How to sign in to Adobe Creative Cloud
Note: if you have any open Adobe sessions including your browser and Adobe CC desktop sessions, please sign out.
Launch Adobe desktop or visit adobe.com.
Enter your RISD email address and click Continue.
When prompted with personal or school account, select Company or School Account
You should be directed to the RISD Authentication page where you will sign in with your RISD credentials (username & password).
Important step! One-time option. Returning students - If you had cloud assets stored under your personal Adobe cloud storage, please give consent to migrate your assets to RISD’s cloud storage here by selecting Yes. For those students that do not use cloud storage and store files locally to their computers, you may bypass this step and continue to view all Adobe applications and services.
Once you provide your consent, the Asset Migration process begins.
Caution: While the Asset Migration is in process, do not perform any changes on the content.
After the migration is completed successfully, a success message is displayed, and you are signed in to your Enterprise Federated ID account. The migrated content is now available in your new Enterprise Federated ID account.
