Single Sign-On (SSO) for CCAD Adobe accounts was turned on Tuesday, December 15th. SSO makes your Adobe account and files more secure, and also make managing your accounts easier. Your Adobe password will now be the same as the one you use to log into other CCAD systems like your email, Moodle, Self Service, and Microsoft Teams.

Follow the steps below to migrate your files to your new account all at once.

If you don’t automatically migrate your files the first time you log in after the change, you’ll have to migrate them manually (i.e., download them from your “Personal Account” and upload them to your “Company or School Account.”)

If you run into any issues while following these steps, contact the IT Help Desk by calling 614-222-6174 or emailing helpdesk@ccad.edu.
