ChatGPT

ChatGPT Edu Access
CSUSM staff, faculty, and students will soon have access to the Enterprise version of ChatGPT as part of the CSU's initiative to become the first and largest AI-empowered university system.

ChatGPT allows users to:

  • generate creative content such as narratives, poems, etc.
  • generate business and education content such as reports, emails, assignment prompts, etc.
  • generate images
  • summarize or analyze text
  • analyze images
  • create custom GPTs (chatbots) for specific purposes

The ChatGPT Edu Workspace protects user data from being used to train large language models. 

Important Notes on ChatGPT Edu Pilot 

  1. ChatGPT Edu licenses are available for current faculty, staff, and students. However, under the CSU-wide contract they are not intended for alumni, auxiliary; continuing education students/faculty/staff; or other campus community members and partners.  
  2. The CSU's current licensing deal with OpenAI is for 18 months; therefore ChatGPT Edu licenses will be available until June 2026. Currently, Edu licenses do not allow for content to be migrated to personal ChatGPT accounts, so unless there is a change, any content (chats, GPTs) created with ChatGPT Edu accounts will be deleted upon expiration of the current licensing deal.  
  3. Users who already have ChatGPT paid or free accounts with their CSUSM email and choose to utilize the Edu workspace will have to migrate to ChatGPT Edu. Content that is not migrated over will be deleted. 
  4. GPTs created using ChatGPT Edu accounts CANNOT be shared with non-CSUSM users. 

CSUSM ChatGPT Account to ChatGPT Edu Migration Information

If you already have a ChatGPT account tied to your campus email: 

    1. Once you request your Edu license, you’ll receive an email invitation to join the Edu workspace.
    2.  The next time you login to ChatGPT, you will be prompted to decide how you want to transition your existing workspace. You will have two options: 
      1. Transfer existing chat history and GPTs 
        This option will merge your existing chat history and settings into the new university-provided workspace.  
         OR
      2. Export and delete your existing chat history.               
        This option will delete all your content from your current CSUSM account, will not migrate any data into your Edu account, but it will allow you to more easily create a new personal account using the exported chats.  
Important Notes
  • If you do not migrate your existing content when prompted to do so, your content will be lost and cannot be recovered.
  • If option b is selected, any custom GPTs you have created will be deleted and cannot be recovered. 
  • If you have a paid subscription, it will be automatically canceled when you join the Edu workspace and you will receive a pro-rated refund.
