The resolution has been in the works since last spring, she said. It’s a ton.”Ĭannings said students have tried to pass all types of initiatives to increase access to the Adobe Cloud over the past several years with little success. “Then among the ones that have extremely discounted (subscription rates) are Austin Community College, San Diego State University, University of Louisville and Chapman University. “Some of the free ones are Clemson, Penn State, all of the (University of) New Mexico schools and Yale,” said Maddie Cannings, art history representative for Fine Arts Council. Many institutions - including some UT system schools – offer the Adobe Creative Cloud to students for free or at an extremely discounted rate, such as UT-San Antonio.
We’re just trying to urge the University to take action and make these tools available to everyone.” “The Campus Computer Store has a deal, but it’s really not cheap enough. “The Adobe suite is really expensive and really necessary for a lot of our curriculum,” said Eric Hayes, architecture senior and architecture representative for Student Government. The Campus Computer Store offers a yearly discounted rate of $195.95 for one full school year, which decreases as the school year progresses. The current price for a yearly subscription to the Cloud is $239.88, which can be billed monthly at $19.99 a month.
Students in the Moody College of Communication, College of Fine Arts and School of Architecture frequently encounter assignments in their curriculum that require the use of these types of applications, making them heavy users of this software. The Adobe Creative Cloud is a cluster of applications - such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop - with different uses for designing and creating media products. A resolution supporting free Adobe Creative Cloud licenses for all students will be presented at UT Senate’s next general assembly this Thursday.
