UCLA Office of the Chief Information Officer
Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to share that UCLA Digital & Technology Solutions is making ChatGPT Edu available to our faculty and staff for purchase at a specially negotiated price. This effort ensures you can leverage the latest AI technology in a more secure, responsible and cost-effective way. Importantly, UCLA’s data is safeguarded and private, meaning it will not be used to train OpenAI’s public models.
Below is detailed information on how to acquire your ChatGPT Edu license. Please review the guidelines in the What to Know section below or the Available AI Tools section of our website. 

What to Know
