ChatGPT For Education

ChatGPT for Education is a generative AI-powered tool designed to assist users in generating ideas, refining writing, and supporting problem-solving. It can help faculty with a range of instructional and administrative tasks when used thoughtfully and responsibly.

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) trained on vast collections of text and data. LLMs are designed to recognize patterns in language and respond conversationally to prompts (questions/requests). Generative AI technologies continue to evolve rapidly, extending and improving capabilities and accuracy.

ChatGPT Edu is currently in trial phase at the University of Houston. As of now, all procured licenses have been issued. If you would like to be added to waitlist, please fill in this form.

Responsible and Appropriate Use

Generative AI is a useful support tool, but it must be used responsibly and safely. Please remember:

  • Do not enter confidential, sensitive, or student-identifiable information (Data Classification Level 1 or 2; see: Data Classification and Protection). Our license provides security where any UH data/chats are not shared with others or used for training models.
  • Content produced by generative AI may contain errors, bias, and/or fabricated information.
  • Outputs should always be reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and appropriateness.
  • Generative AI should support, not replace, faculty expertise and professional judgment.
    Faculty are encouraged to consider how AI use aligns with course learning objectives, academic integrity expectations, and the University of Houston AI Guidelines: https://uhsystem.edu/offices/information-security/resources/artificial-intelligence/index.php
