Adobe Creative Cloud Access
KPU-managed Adobe Creative Cloud access is available only to students registered in eligible courses. Access may begin and end based on course enrollment and academic term dates.
Wilson School of Design students are expected to maintain their own Adobe Creative Cloud Student subscription, as many courses require regular access to Adobe applications both inside and outside the classroom for coursework, projects, internships, and portfolio development.

Requesting Software
All software applications used by KPU (staff, faculty, students, alumni, and contractors, collectively called "users") must be reviewed by Teaching and Learning, Privacy, Information Security and IT and Finance & Procurement if funding is required to purchase the software.
Software reviews ensure that:
- Teaching and Learning has assessed the software.
- A privacy impact assessment has been conducted.
- Legal compliance has been met.
- The software is compatible with current KPU systems and usage policies.
- The software vendor agreement complies with BC and Canadian laws.
Please note that only KPU employees are authorized to submit such requests. If you are a student, you may choose to ask your instructor or your faculty's Dean whether they are willing to support your request. If only a small number of individuals want to use the app you are interested in, there may be a significant delay while waiting for more individuals to express interest.
