Adobe Creative Cloud, Mendeley Cite, and Microsoft Project are available to students by request. We recommend that faculty requiring software for their classes request their class roster be assigned software access as soon as possible. This will allow students to have access to the software more quickly. Please provide a list of students (email addresses) you would like given access to, as well as the class name and section (ex: MADT 101-01).

Adobe Creative Cloud is available to all Chico State employees and students. This suite of software includes Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, Illustrator, Stock, and more. You can request access to Adobe Creative Cloud in the Service Catalog.

All current campus Creative Cloud users now have access to Adobe Stock. Employees and students that don’t currently have Creative Cloud can request access.

The campus standalone Adobe Acrobat Pro license has expired for many campus computers. If you are experiencing issues with Acrobat Pro you likely need to install the Creative Cloud version of Acrobat Pro, or Acrobat Reader if you don’t require the Pro version features. These are available in Software Center (PC) and Self Service (Mac).

You may also need a Creative Cloud License, which can be requested in the Service Catalog.

The campus standalone Adobe Acrobat Pro licenses expires at the end of this calendar year. New computers are being provisioned with Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Creative Cloud (which includes Adobe Acrobat Pro) as needed. Existing installations of the standalone Acrobat Pro will need to switch to either Acrobat Reader or Creative Cloud before the end of the year. Campus-managed computers can obtain Acrobat Reader or Creative Cloud in Software Center (PC) and Self Service (Mac).

Please note that Creative Cloud requires a per-user license to be assigned to you (at no charge); if you don’t have one already, you can request one.
