NEW NUIT Adobe Licensing for NU Faculty/Staff –

Beginning September 1, 2025, Northwestern IT licensing of Adobe products for all Faculty/Staff/Students will shift from an ALL Adobe product model to a different tiered model. What this means is that not every NETID will be receiving products such as PhotoShop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Animate, etc… to name a few. The new licensing that Faculty/Staff will receive is Acrobat Pro. This will be similar to the current Adobe Acrobat with PDF creation, editing, and digital signature features without the Photo Editing and Video components. Stay tuned to your emails for more communications from NUIT for more details.

Updated Paper Shredding @ SPS has been postponed until September 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may have caused. More information will be available soon.
