Free Creative Cloud Access for Design Students
Creative Cloud is no longer free to use for design students meaning we cannot access the necessary software at home and on our own devices. Although the university suites have the software available it limits the amount of productivity that can be achieved and feels like £65 a year is very steep considering we already pay thousands in yearly fees. It was available last year and gives students the opportunity to study and develop outside of the lectures.

Passed
This petition has been passed and will be actioned ASAP.
How Will This Idea Benefit Students?
Allow students to develop new skills in the relevant software and also complete modules on their own devices without having to pay additional fees that we did not have to pay for last year. I believe that this could effect grades for students as not everyone can easily access the computers on campus and the majority of students use the software at home.
How Can The Union Achieve This?
Remove the £65 price set on the software and grant all Design students with the option to download the software on their own devices.

Discussions with CCI faculty members
The assigned elected officer Ayoola Johnson has been working with members of the CCI faculty to see how this can be achieved. It was discussed that due to cost restrictions it will be quite challenging to have the programme available for all students in the faculty immediately.
Student Council has been discussing whether they could at least provide this service for vulnerable students who may be especially struggling with this.
More information will be provided later on.
