Adobe Creative Cloud Apps for Pomona College Faculty & Staff

Adobe Creative Cloud applications are now available for Pomona College faculty and staff, for Pomona College computers and home computers.

NOTE:

Unfortunately, Adobe Creative Cloud licenses are no longer available to students (they were part of our remote learning/Covid strategy and have been retired as we return fully to campus).

However, the software is available for students to use for free in any public lab on campus such as the 24/7 lab in the Cowart IT Building.

Adobe offers licensing to enrolled students for a fairly inexpensive price for one year:
