Get Started with ChatGPT
Accessing ChatGPT
Students, faculty and staff can request access to the tool via University IT’s Service Catalog and they’ll receive an email with login instructions.
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 enhanced features, 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.
Training Resources
- The university is partnering with OpenAI to offer a campus-wide ChatGPT Essentials virtual training at noon on Friday, January 23. Sign up for the Zoom webinar. The recording will also be shared on ai.utah.edu.
- OpenAI will train over 100 faculty, staff and students by December 8 to lead additional sessions that begin in January—watch for announcements from your department and official university channels.
- View sample prompts for students and faculty.
- Attend ChatGPT’s webinar series to learn best practices and get the most out of the tool.
