Effective January 1, 2025
Due to budget constraints, the free Adobe Creative Cloud access provided to Illinois students since 2022 will end on December 31, 2025.
To maintain access, students will be able to purchase prorated renewal subscriptions through the WebStore beginning in late November. These subscriptions will extend access through June 30, 2026 at a prorated cost of $40.
Looking ahead:
Full-year licenses for FY27 (July 2026–June 2027) will be available in May 2026.
Thanks to the university’s preferred licensing agreement, Adobe Creative Cloud will continue to be offered at a fraction of the standard academic price (approximately $360/year).
Renewal reminders:
Students with an active Adobe subscription from WebStore will receive an email notification near renewal time.
You can also log in to your WebStore account at any time and search for “Adobe” to check for new offers.
For student employees:
Student employees (including graduate appointments) may continue to use Adobe Creative Cloud on university-owned devices, or they may request a department-sponsored Adobe Student Employee license for personal computers. Please contact your supervisor for details.
