Welcome to Adobe 

Students on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus can request an Adobe Express license for coursework at no cost. There are limited licenses available so please be sure it is necessary for your coursework completion before submitting a request.  

If a student requires the full Adobe Creative Cloud, they need a sponsoring department to submit a request through the faculty and staff webpage and provide a SpeedType for the $100 annual fee. This is intended for student employees and work studies.  

Licenses are active for one year from July 1st through June 30th. A new request will need to be submitted each July to continue subscription service.

  • Premiere Rush – Shoot, edit, and share videos 
  • Photoshop Express – Edits and retouch images
