On October 18, 2018, ITS moved student Adobe CC accounts from an Adobe ID account to an Enterprise ID account. While this move was intended to simplify account access for RISD students, we soon learned that it caused a disruption with Web Apps (Portfolio, Behance, etc.) for several students.
To prevent future disruption, ITS decided to revert RISD students back to Adobe ID accounts on December 4, 2018. Reverting to an Adobe ID account will also allow graduating students to easily transition from a RISD Adobe ID to a personal (paid for) Adobe ID without losing any assets following graduation.
Students experiencing problems after December 4, 2018 should be sure they have signed out of all Adobe apps. Sign back in with RISD email address, select Adobe ID, and sign in with your Adobe ID password.
In the event you forgot your Adobe ID password, click the “forgot your password” link to reset your password.
Adobe CC for Faculty & Staff
ITS is in the process of transitioning our current licensing model to RISD Enterprise Adobe CC accounts for all active faculty and staff.
Staff and faculty will soon use their RISD account username and password to authenticate to a named Enterprise Adobe CC account, allowing you to install and use the Adobe CC applications on any computer - yes, at work and at home.
