There are two ways to access Adobe Creative Cloud products at BCIT:
- Create an account, have a subscription, and use products in either BCIT computer labs or on personal devices.
- Create an account only and and use products in labs only
- If you don’t want to access or purchase a subscription, you will still require an Adobe user account (Adobe Federated ID) to use Adobe software in labs. BCIT maintains these credentials and issues them through the BCIT software portal.
