Adobe Creative Cloud Log In

Why a new change

Adobe Creative Cloud changed their licensing model which now requires students, faculty, and staff to login to use any application from the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite.

Students - In computer labs, students will be prompted to enter their CSUSM username and password to use the software each time they login to a computer. 

Faculty/Staff - Faculty and staff will be prompted to log in on each computer. Once you log in once, you will not need to log in on that computer again.
