Access Adobe Suite Programs via @Ryerson.ca Email
As part of the university's renaming process, the university changed our email addresses from xx@ryerson.ca to xx@torontomu.ca. Despite the change in the domain section of your email address, all Students, Staff, and Faculty will continue to use the @ryerson.ca domain authenticate within Adobe suite applications.
All students, including incoming First Year Students, MUST USE @ryerson.ca
Due to the login process, all students must to use the @ryerson.ca domain., even first year and incoming students who were not attending the univeristy under it's former name. When logging into Adobe, simply replace @torontomu.ca in your email address with @ryerson.ca. This also applies to all staff and faculty.
DO NOT USE YOUR @torontomu.ca Email
Using your @torontomu.ca email will automatically create an Adobe account but it WILL NOT have access to the Adobe Suite. We will inform you once the new domain (torontomu.ca) is introduced to Adobe as the new instance for authentication.

Setup Multi-Factor Authorization (MFA)
In order to access Adobe Creative Cloud (and Office 365) the university uses Microsoft Multi-Factor Authorization (MFA) for all students, faculty, and staff.
Microsoft MFA must be set-up first, before you can access the Adobe Creative Cloud software. Users must use the @ryerson.ca version of their email address when signing up for MFA.
Visit the TMU CCS website to set up your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and to download the Microsoft Multi-Factor Authenticator app.
https://www.torontomu.ca/ccs/services/software/microsoft/mfa/ (opens in new window)
Note: The Microsoft MFA app is different than the Google Authenticator App
Go to https://creativecloud.adobe.com (external link, opens in new window) and go to Sign In
Enter the @ryerson.ca version of your email address and click continue
Select Company or School Account
Enter your my.torontomu password and click Sign In.
After successful login you will have to confirm/approve your Microsoft MFA authentication via the MFA app on your phone (from the MFA Setup Process).
Navigate to Apps tab and you can see Adobe Creative Suite applications you are licensed to. You can Download and Install the applications through this page or download the Creative Cloud application and manage the Adobe apps there.
Note - The look of the screenshot below may be different as Adobe updates its interface periodically.
Known Multi-Factor Authorization Issue
If you are experiencing a permission error saying "You don't have access to this", please refer to the instructions below from the bottom of the TMU CCS Website.
Some users are experiencing issues when trying to login using MFA. If you have previously setup your Microsoft MFA, but when logging in to Adobe Creative Cloud do not receive an alert via the Microsoft MFA App on your phone, you must contact TMU Computing and Communications Services (CCS) (opens in new window) and have them reset your MFA access.
CCS manages the Microsoft MFA process - Creative School personnel can not assist with this issue. We recommend calling the CCS Student Helpline (Phone: 416-979-5000 (opens in new window) , ext. 556840) for prompt service.
Once CCS has reset your access, you should be able to setup your MFA again, and then you will be able to login to Adobe CC.
Help & FAQ
To all graduating students, please note that your Adobe CC Cloud storage space will be reduced to 2GB after your graduation. There is a grace period of One Month after the official end of term so you can retrieve your content and files.
Your account itself will not be removed, but once you graduate you will lose access to the Adobe CC license provided by The Creative School. This means you will lose access to all Adobe CC applications and your storage will be reduced from 100GB to 2 GB.
Once your storage size has been decreased, the data lost can not be recovered. It is recommended that you download any assets stored on you Adobe Creative Cloud account to prevent any data loss. Please note that this must be done mannually yourself, as the Adobe Automated Asset Migration has been disabled by CCS.
If you are having issues accessing the Adobe CC software, please contact the technical or administrative staff from your home department.
