License Terms

ChatGPT Edu licensing terms are as follows:

  • First subscription year priced at $20 per user per month.
  • Registration available to all Weizmann Institute community members with a primary institutional e-mail account.
  • Software developers should note that centralized billing and distribution of API tokens under the OpenAI Platform is currently beyond the scope of our agreement. Users interested in purchasing API tokens can do so using a credit card from within the platform interface.

Registration

To register for ChatGPT Edu:

  1. Request your departmental administration to register you for the ChatGPT resource in Internal Services.
  2. Following registration, you will receive confirmation from Internal Services, followed by an invitation e-mail from OpenAI to join the Weizmann Institute Edu workspace. Please note that the e-mail from OpenAI may require up to an hour to be delivered.
  3. Click Join Workspace within the invitation, then log into ChatGPT using your Weizmann e-mail and password (Weizmann Institute SSO).

Note that existing ChatGPT Plus users with a Weizmann e-mail account will be prompted to transfer their chat history to the Edu workspace, or export it prior to deletion of their existing workspace. It is generally advised that you proceed with the transfer option for convenience and continuity.

Existing ChatGPT For Teams users will have to copy their chat history over manually, and existing ChatGPT users with a private e-mail account will be able to continue working as usual, without affiliation to the institutional account.

Should you own a ChatGPT Plus subscription, it will be canceled upon joining ChatGPT Edu.
