ChatGPT Edu Student Access Guide

Overview

Core Access to ChatGPT Edu can be provided to students if requested by a faculty member, staff member, or researcher they are working with. The completion of the Generative AI Security Essential Bridge Training for Students with at least an 80% score is required before their account will be created. A faculty or staff may choose to provide the training link to students if they are: 

• Wanting their students to use an AI tool in academic course
• Wanting student researchers to have access for research purposes 
• Wanting student workers to have access as a component of their student employment.

1. Your faculty or staff member will supply you with the training link. 
2. Complete the required training with at least an 80%. You can take the training as many times as you need to get an 80%. Your ChatGPT Edu account will be automatically created within 24-48 hours.

Common Questions

1. If you previously created a personal ChatGPT account using your university email address, you will be prompted to choose how to handle your existing workspace when you sign in:
   • Select "Transfer existing chat history and GPTs" to merge your personal account content into your ChatGPT Edu workspace
   • Select "Export and delete existing chat history" if you prefer to export your data and remove your existing personal workspace. Note: this will permanently delete your existing personal ChatGPT account after the export process is complete.
2. How do I know I'm in an enterprise ChatGPT workspace and not a personal one?
   • You will know you are in the ChatGPT Edu environment when you see your campus logo in the lower-left corner after signing in.​​​​​​​
3. I'm having trouble logging in. 
   •  Double check you're using your correct email address. Workspaces are set up by campus email domain. If you're trying to use your username@nebraska.edu email address it won't work. Make sure you're using the campus specific ones below:
