Expiry, access and migration dates for Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions

BCIT IT Services has changed the logic that affect the date ranges for application access and files stored in Adobe Cloud in May 2022.

Full-time student subscriptions date range is Sept 1 – Aug 31, no matter when that student starts at BCIT. If a student’s studies overlap two Septembers, a student will be eligible to renew a subscription. No change.
Full-time students will now retain access to applications and access to stored content until Aug 31. This is a change in behavior.

This change standardizes expiry dates – no matter when your Full-time program started – and will allow BCIT to be more consistent with expiry messaging to students.

Flexible Learning students who purchased a $50 term-based subscription remain limited by more restrictive subscription ranges of Sept 1 – Dec 31/Jan 1 – Mar 31/Apr 1 – Aug 31.
This is not a change, but has not been very clearly communicated in the past.
Flexible Learning students will have access to applications and access to Adobe Cloud storage until the last day of their subscription (Dec 31, Mar 31, Aug 31). This provides significantly less time to migrate assets from Adobe Cloud due to the constraint of a shorter subscription date range.

Asset Migration

This change allows BCIT to be more consistent in our communication to students about subscription expiry dates and the deadlines for asset migration. This should make it less likely that students will lose content due to confusion in communication from BCIT.

In most cases for Full-time students we are providing a substantial extension for migration and should have fewer problems with students not migrating Adobe Cloud assets.
