Adobe CC Software Suite


All faculty members have access to obtain the Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) suite of software for home-use. If you are adjunct or staff member that needs access from home please contact the helpdesk.


Adobe Software on Campus

The Adobe CC suite is installed on all academic computers (and office computers upon request) and available to all Faculty, Staff and Students. You may need to login using your campus email/password after launching a program.

 

Adobe Software at Home (Students)

Students may purchase a discounted license to CC from the Collegebuys website. GCCCD does not currently provide student home-use licenses.

 

Adobe Express is a free to use graphic design package that can be accessed from home or on campus at express.adobe.com. Login with any personal account (Google, Facebook, Apple) or signup for an Adobe ID (you cannot login using your campus email/password).

 

Adobe Software at Home (Staff/Faculty)

To setup Creative Cloud on your computer:

  1. Visit creativecloud.adobe.com and sign in with your campus email/password.
  2. If prompted, select Company or School Account, and enter your password or provide your credentials in your school’s login screen. (DO NOT login with a personal Adobe account)
  3. From the Creative Cloud website, click Apps on the top of the page to view all available applications. You may now browse for and download your desired app or the "creative cloud" application (which manages all of the apps from your computer). 

For more information on how to download or install CC apps, see Adobe's documentation online:

NOTE: It is best to uninstall all other versions of Adobe software from your computer before installing CC.
