The College of Education is leading the campus in expanding access to generative AI by launching a centrally funded AI licensing pilot in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Information Officer, which will run from February 2026 through February 2027.
This pilot provides eligible faculty and staff with access to ChatGPT for Education while intentionally building skills for the responsible, effective use of ChatGPT in teaching, research, and administrative work. Eligibility is based on appointment type and percentage, job-function alignment, and completion of a required Canvas ChatGPT training course.
Eligible employees received an invitation via their university email and/or Canvas notifications. This initiative positions Education at the forefront of thoughtfully integrating generative AI into daily academic and professional practice.
The program guidelines are in the Inside Education Teams Channel in the Shared files section of the Generative AI Ideas and Resources channel for more info.
