Open Source Software

Adobe软件只能在韦尔斯利校园电脑上使用，不能在学生的个人电脑上使用.

想要在个人计算机上访问Adobe应用程序的学生有两种选择. 学生可以购买Adobe Creative Suite discounted price through eAcademy. 学生们还可以利用按月支付的方式 Adobe “Creative Cloud” service (请务必选择学生/教师版，以获得更优惠的价格).

当Adobe不是课程要求时, students requiring access to pdf, image, audio, 视频解决方案可以利用免费的开源软件或学生可以通过各自的供应商购买的低成本软件应用程序(见下面的列表)。.
