Overview of License Offering

Do you just need to read PDF documents? Adobe Creative Cloud is more than you need. Anyone can install Adobe Reader for free on their personal device here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Student licensing for Adobe CC is limited and prioritized for academic use.
Once your MSU Denver user account is licensed, it remains valid as long as you are registered for a current or upcoming fall/semester term.
If your license lapses due to time away from the university (unregistered) please re-request the license on this service page.
Who can request this?
Currently registered students may request an Adobe CC license for personal use.
Use the red Request Adobe CC student license button at the top of this page to initiate your request.
This license is applied to one person per request. The license will be applied to the person listed in the Requestor field, if they are an active student.
Each student that needs a license needs to place their own individual request.
Faculty and Staff already have licensing on their MSU Denver accounts and should not use this request. See: What is Adobe Creative Cloud? for more info.
