Laptop and Software Requirements

Affected SASA Classes
 

SASA  260, 303, 360, 460, and 490

Students seeking coursework in Screen Arts will be required to have a laptop capable of running specified Adobe software.

Laptop Specifications
 

Applications heavily used:

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Adobe After Effects
• Adobe Photoshop

Other software will also be used. System Requirements for Adbe software can be found on the Adobe website:

Use the Recommended Specifications for Premiere Pro. A laptop with minimum requirements will work, but much more slowly, and you will be frustrated. 

 

Software Requirement

 

Students will need a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud in order to access Adobe software on their laptops. 

UWRF is providing the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription to students at a significant student group discount. UWRF Billing will add the subscription fee to the student's billing account. Verify course or program requirements with your instructor before purchase. Check the Creative Cloud system requirements directly on Adobe's website for compatibility with your computer.

 All sales are final, which means that once purchased, a student cannot receive a refund, even if they drop the course they were going to use the subscription for.

Use this form to order the Adobe Creative Cloud through UWRF.

Once the form has been submitted, instructions with a license code will be emailed to the student's UWRF email address within 24 hours. Follow the directions to activate the license. 

Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions can also be purchased online directly from Adobe. Make sure to select the student plan to access the student discount—sign up with your UWRF email address.
