A number of courses at NIU have already been using Adobe Creative Cloud. Students in those courses were receiving licenses based on their enrollment in those courses. The existing process will continue: DoIT will maintain a list of courses that use Adobe and ensure that all of the students in those courses have a license assigned. Students will not need to request a license while they are enrolled in a designated course.
The great news is that students will be able to request a license to use for any semester in which they are not taking a course that uses Adobe Creative Cloud. This gives them the opportunity to continue practicing the skills they learned by applying them in other courses or in their co-curricular activities.
