How do I get access to Adobe Creative Cloud for my BYU-Idaho class?
NOTICE: Students will receive access to the Adobe programs the second day of the semester or approximately 24 hours after registering for a qualifying course. Please see a list of qualifying courses at the bottom of the page under the "Who will get access" drop down section. Students will not receive an email notifying them that they have been added to the system.
How do I download the Adobe apps?
If you already have the Creative Cloud desktop app installed, skip to step number 4.
Open a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser
If Chrome or Edge does not work while following these steps, please try Firefox.
Navigate to Adobe Creative Cloud website so you can login
Visit the Creative Cloud App page and click "Sign In" (1) at the top right of the page.
Enter in your BYU-Idaho email address (this should be an email address that starts with three letters and ends with five digits: ex. [email protected]) and press "Continue" (2).
Click on "Company or School Account" if this option is displayed.
Which type of student are you?
Depending on how you are enrolled will decide the proper way for you to login to Adobe.
Login with your BYU-Idaho credentials
You will be redirected to the BYU-Idaho login page. Login using your BYU-Idaho username and password.
Login with your BYU-Pathway Worldwide credentials
You will be redirected to the BYU-Idaho login page. Login using your church username and password through the BYU-Pathway Worldwide login.
Download the Adobe Creative Cloud
After logging in, you should be redirected to the Creative Cloud Download App page again. Click the "Download" button (3).
Set up
Open the app and run through the set up. This might automatically log you in since you have logged in to your browser. If it did not log you in, you will go through a similar login process as outlined above.

Can I pause my individual Adobe Cloud subscription?
No. There is no way to pause an individual Adobe subscription, but you can cancel your subscription without a cancellation fee. The University has an enterprise agreement (“ETLA”) with Adobe. Because of this benefit, individual Creative Cloud subscribers can terminate their contracts and not be charged the normal 50% fee.
Contact Adobe Support and be certain to inform the support agent that you are a student at BYU-Idaho, and you are provided Adobe Creative Cloud by the University. You may be asked to show the email informing you that you had been given access through the University.
What if I am on a waiting list?
Students on a waiting list will need to wait until they are enrolled to start the process of receiving access. As soon as you are accepted into the class, please reach out to your instructor and they will add you to a list that will be submitted for access.
I don't have a BYU-Idaho Username and Password
If you are a Pathway student that only knows how to log in with your BYU-Pathway Worldwide login you can reach out to the BYU-Idaho Support Center at 208-496-1411. You will need to have them help you figure out your BYU-Idaho username and reset your password. Once this is done, you will be able to access the Adobe programs with the instructions listed on this page.
