If you purchased an Adobe license and graduate during the time of your active subscription, you lose access to your Cal Poly email account, however; since you still have access to the portal for two years, your Adobe subscription should continue to be active until the subscription expires.

You can migrate most Adobe Creative Cloud assets to a new Adobe Creative Cloud free membership account. The Creative Cloud free membership includes trial versions of most of Adobe’s creative apps, and you can easily upgrade to get full versions of all apps and services included in your school account.  This will give you ongoing access to your creative work once you leave Cal Poly. 

• For more information on the migration process, visit Transfer assets across accounts or profiles. 

• Unfortunately, it is not possible to migrate your Adobe Portfolio. Adobe recommends recreating your site under a new personal account.
