Accessing ChatGPT Edu

    • Within 24 hours, you will receive an invitation email from OpenAI. 
    • Please check your spam/junk folder if you don’t see it. 
  • Click log in and select “University of Utah ChatGPT Edu”  
  • Log in using University of Utah SSO:  
    • Enter your uNID and password  
    • Complete Duo two-factor authentication  
  • After successful authentication, you will be redirected back to ChatGPT and can begin using the service  

 

Important Note: 

  • Confirm you’re signed into ChatGPT Edu: 

Once logged in, look at the bottom left corner of the ChatGPT Edu interface. You should see “University of Utah ChatGPT Edu” listed under your profile, which confirms you are using the university-managed environment. 

Guidelines

  • For all university-related tasks, use your ChatGPT Edu instance rather than a personal ChatGPT account. This ensures you have access to the university’s higher data privacy standards and academic-focused optimizations—helping you get the most out of ChatGPT while keeping your work secure and aligned with university guidelines.
  • ChatGPT Edu can be used for any work that doesn’t contain sensitive or restricted data, as defined by university rules. Hospital and clinic personnel don’t yet have permission to use the tool—access for these environments is being evaluated separately to meet health-care data protection requirements.
  • Review university AI guidelines and policies for more information on how to use AI responsibly and effectively.
