Canva for Campus

Quicklink(s)

Canva is a graphic design platform that allows you to create a variety of visual content such as presentations, posters, documents, and other types of social media graphics.

Canva for Campus Available for 2024

In Spring 2024, OIT officially released Canva for Campus. UCI staff, faculty, and students can enjoy access to premium features for the time being, but it’s likely that this service will shift to a recharge model for employees and contractors at some point in the near future. We have no definitive pricing information at this time and updates will be published here once they’re available, including information regarding student licensing.

Canva for Campus is designed to empower all campus members by enabling students to create engaging assignments, assisting instructors in developing interactive learning resources, and helping faculty administrators streamline workflows and enhance communications.

Canva comes with collaboration and media library tools that make it easy to seamlessly design across groups and departments with 1TB of storage to organize files, graphics, and videos.

Top features include:

  1. Magic Studio: A comprehensive suite of AI-powered design tools integrated into Canva’s platform. It aims to enhance the design process for both professional and amateur designers by leveraging artificial intelligence to boost creativity, streamline workflows, and scale content production.
  2. Extensive Template Library: Canva provides thousands of professionally designed templates for various uses like social media posts, presentations, flyers, and business cards, making it easy to start any project.
  3. Drag-and-Drop Editor: The platform is known for its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, which makes designing simple and accessible, even for those with no prior graphic design experience.
  4. Customizable Design Elements: You have access to a vast library of design elements, including fonts, images, icons, shapes, and charts, all of which can be customized to fit specific design needs.
  5. Photo Editing Capabilities: Canva offers basic photo editing tools like cropping, filters, and image adjustments, allowing you to enhance your images directly within the platform.
  6. Collaboration Tools: It enables real-time collaboration, allowing teams to work together on designs, share feedback, and make edits simultaneously.
  7. Animations and GIFs: The platform allows the creation of animated graphics and GIFs, adding dynamic content to designs.

These features, along with Canva’s continual updates and additions, make it a versatile and popular choice for creating a wide range of visual content. Learn more at Canva for Campus.
