The Division of IT and the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning are excited to announce that NIU faculty of all ranks and classifications now have access to the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite. This includes all the industry-leading Adobe applications, like Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, as well as Adobe Stock, a library of over 200 million images and videos. It also includes the new Adobe Express, an easy-to-use platform that integrates graphic design, image editing, video production and website creation with cutting-edge generative AI features.
NIU students will be able to request access to the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite this fall.
NIU is the second institution in the state, and one of only 70 globally, to be designated as an Adobe Creative Campus. This recognizes our commitment to empower students in all disciplines with essential skills in digital literacy, creativity and visual communication to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
You can get started by logging in at creativecloud.adobe.com with your NIU credentials (i.e., A-ID@mail.niu.edu). You can also open the Adobe Creative Cloud application, which may already be installed on your NIU-managed computer. From either the web or the application, you can click “Request Access” and install the tools you would like to use. If you already have an Adobe license through NIU, your account will not be affected.
