Question
Is Adobe asking you for an email address when trying to access Adobe files or programs?
Answer
If you are attempting to use any Adobe product other than Adobe Reader (used to open and print PDFs, only), you will need to create an account with Adobe using an email address. IMPORTANT NOTE: Retaining access to Sierra College email requires (1) students to continue to complete classes and (2) employees to remain employed. After (1) students stop completing classes at Sierra, or (2) employees no longer work at Sierra, access to Sierra College email will end. To retain access to your free Adobe ID, it is suggested to use a personal email address, unless otherwise instructed by the Service Desk.

How to create a free Adobe account
Step 1: Go to the Adobe account page (http://accounts.adobe.com), and then click Get an Adobe ID.
STEP 2: On the Adobe Account screen, provide the necessary information. Then click Sign up. The email address you enter will be your Adobe ID, so use a frequently used address that you’ll remember.
You will receive a mail from Adobe with a link to verify your email address. You may have to wait for some time before receiving the email.
STEP 3: Once your account is created, click Continue to access your account page.
If using a Sierra College computer, please use the application installed on the computer rather than those that appear in your browser.
