Using Adobe Creative Cloud apps in BCIT Computer Labs with No Subscription

There are two ways to access Adobe Creative Cloud products at BCIT:

1. Create an account, have a subscription, and use products in either BCIT computer labs or on personal devices.
   • Accessing an Adobe Creative Cloud Pro subscription as a full-time student
   • Purchasing an Adobe Creative Cloud Pro subscription as a flexible learning student
2. 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.
