  • All About Microsoft Office

  • Adobe Acrobat and Creative Cloud

    Carleton received a grant to purchase some Creative Cloud licenses for students to install on their personal computers. If you are using Carleton owned computers, you do NOT need to request a license. Priority is given to students enrolled in courses that require Creative Cloud Applications.  To request a license, please contact the Help Desk with the following information:

    • I need access for a course (include course number and faculty contact)
    • I need access for student employment (include supervisor information)
