As part of the California State University system-wide AI initiative, Academic Technology (AT) and Information Technology Services (ITS) at San Francisco State University (SFSU) are launching ChatGPT Education (ChatGPT Edu), a secure, AI-powered assistant designed for higher education, providing access to all current faculty and staff, paid through the CSU Chancellor’s office.

This initiative brings GPT-4o AI technology—typically available only to paid subscribers—into a protected educational environment, ensuring enhanced privacy and security for academic and research use. With the same advanced AI capabilities as paid ChatGPT subscriptions, ChatGPT Edu offers a safe, enterprise-grade platform tailored to support faculty and staff in their academic endeavors.

Please Note: Users must comply with CSU data protection policies, including FERPA and HIPAA guidelines.

Staff and Faculty accounts available on March 26th, 2025.

Student accounts available on April 15th, 2025.

Campus IT Support Teams are available to assist with any questions.
