Onboarding Autodesk for Education

This guide will help students get set up in Autodesk and specifically show how they can sign up for an educational account and download software packages.

Computer and internet access.

Go to the Autodesk for education website and click on "Get products"

1. Click on the "Select" button under Fusion.
2. In the next window click on "Select" under Student
3. Sign up for your account using your school email address (firstname.lastname@stu.hpisd.edu) You must use your school email. Note: If you have taken a class like robotics or anything where you have used an Autodesk product previously you will already have a login. You just need to log into your account and update your school ID.
4. Continue filling out the information. You will need a photo of your student ID to upload in the last step.

You will receive an email from Autodesk to your school email account. It will verify your student ID and you will be able to log into your Autodesk account at that point.

1. Now you can navigate to the main Autodesk site and click on "Sign In" in the top right corner.
2. Once logged in, click on your icon in the upper right corner where the sign-in button is.
3. Then click on "products and services."
4. Next, click on the "download" button under Fusion. It will then begin to download. It will not install automatically. You will then need to go to the downloads folder and install the software.

I want you to use the desktop version but if you cannot do so, you can use the online version of Fusion, which has some limitations compared to the desktop version, you can access it here. You will log in using your Autodesk Sign in. It is much slower than the desktop version.
