Adobe Creative Cloud

The College of Information and Communications offers all undergraduate majors access to Adobe Creative Cloud, a collection of more than 20 applications and services for web design, photo editing, video editing and more.

All students who were enrolled as CIC majors in Fall 2021 should have received an email from Adobe with instructions on claiming their subscription. If you were enrolled as a major and did not receive the email, follow these instruction to obtain subscription access:

You will need to go to https://www.adobe.com/ and use your USC email address as the login.
After you select "continue," you can then click on the "reset/forgot password" link and follow the instructions.
Once the password has been set, you can log in and use/download the Adobe CC apps.

If you were not enrolled as a major in Fall 2021 or did not receive the email, please begin the process by completing this form. Once your enrollment status has been verified, you will be provided access and receive an email from CICTECH with further instructions.

If you have your own personal subscription, it is your responsibility to terminate this subscription with Adobe.
