OpenAI Announces Complimentary Access to ChatGPT Plus for Students
Students in the United States and Canada can now enjoy free access to the premium ChatGPT Plus subscription, normally priced at $20 per month. This offer is available specifically for college students gearing up for their final exams.
Included Features in the Premium Subscription
ChatGPT Plus enhances user experience with exclusive access to advanced models:
- GPT-o1: OpenAI’s leading reasoning model.
- o3-mini and o3-high reasoning models: These powerful tools are not available within the standard free service.
Limited Time Offer: Validity Details
This special promotion is available until the end of May. OpenAI has introduced this initiative as a part of an experimental program aimed at supporting students during their crucial exam preparations. The offer’s continuation or expansion to other regions or institutions remains at the company’s discretion.
Verification Process for Eligible Students
To gain access, student status verification is carried out using SheerID’s secure verification system. The process includes:
- Authoritative Sources: Instant verification from trusted databases like your university’s Office of the Registrar.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): When needed, logging in via your school’s SSO credentials directly links and confirms your institutional affiliation.
This strategic move by OpenAI follows the introduction of Claude for Education by competitor Anthropic, further emphasizing the growing integration of AI tools in educational processes.
