ChatGPT at the U
ChatGPT Edu provides the university community with secure, institutionally supported access to advanced AI capabilities within a university-managed environment designed to support teaching, learning, research, and administrative work.
As the university evaluates and deploys AI-powered tools, protecting institutional data remains a top priority. ChatGPT Edu does not use university data for model training, and campus-wide security controls make it a safer option than personal accounts.
What's Included in ChatGPT Edu?
ChatGPT EDU provides access to core ChatGPT capabilities. Some features operate under daily usage limits to help ensure fair and sustainable access for all users.
All users have access to:
- Conversational ChatGPT for writing, brainstorming, coding, and problem-solving
- Advanced Data Analysis for working with uploaded files
- Canvas, a collaborative workspace for drafting and iterating on content
- Custom GPTs for repeatable tasks using tailored instructions and uploaded knowledge files
The following advanced features are available with daily credit limits:
- Deep Research: Up to 5 uses per day
Supports more in-depth research by gathering, summarizing, and synthesizing information from across the web.
- AI Image Generation: Up to 3 generations per day
Create images from text descriptions for presentations, projects, and creative work.
To ensure fair and sustainable access across the university:
- Advanced feature usage resets daily
- If you reach a daily limit, you will see a message indicating the feature is temporarily unavailable
- No action is required
- Access will automatically reset the next day
What If I Need More Access?
Advanced features will be available for purchase later in spring 2026. Sign up to receive email updates.
