Action Required for Fall 2025 Semester: Adobe Software Access at Ball State

Access to Adobe will be a different process for those who chose to use the program. Before this upcoming Fall, any faculty, staff, or student who chooses to use the Adobe software will need to submit an online request form. You can find this request form inside the link below or by visiting bsu.com/adobe.

For any questions or concerns on this change to Adobe, contact the Technology Helpdesk or visit https://commcenter.bsu.edu/message/action-required-for-fall-2025-semester-adobe-software-access-at-ball-state-1
