Access to Canva Premium at UCSC

September 16, 2024

UC Santa Cruz community members now have access to Canva with premium features.

Canva is an online graphic design tool that you can use to create teaching, learning and marketing materials such as images, social media graphics, email headers, brochures, and advertisements.

Premium Canva features are available at no cost to students and discounted for faculty and staff. Payments are purchased through CruzBuy.  

The Canva premium features include all the benefits of a free account in addition to: 
  • A UCSC branded toolkit
  • Access to premium templates, photos, videos, and graphics
  • Online customer support

If you already have a free Canva account, you can continue to use Canva in a free and less feature-rich capacity.

With any tools that create digital content, you should always consider ways to create content that is accessible.

To access premium Canva features, follow the steps to purchase a license. You can also explore more about this new service.
