Important Information
Grammarly for Education-What is changing and when?
The free and premium versions of Grammarly, an AI-powered writing service, will no longer be available for use by employees and student employees across the four UM System campuses due to privacy and security concerns. This change will go into effect Jan. 9, 2025.
We are making this change because certain versions of Grammarly incorporate AI tools that can scan users’ screens and collect the data that is being displayed. This poses security and privacy concerns due to its potential to collect sensitive information, such as protected student data, protected health information, personally identifiable information and more.
To protect the security of our information, employees and student employees will have the option to use the approved UM System Grammarly for Education license, which ensures data protection and security.
Existing Individual Grammarly Users: Please note that if you are currently signed up for Grammarly using a campus domain, such as @umkc.edu, @umsl.edu,@missouri.edu and @mst.edu, you will need to change your email address to your @umsystem.edu email by Jan. 9, 2025, using these steps. This will ensure that you do not end up with two separate Grammarly accounts and don’t lose any of your data/preferences in the process. Please note that this email change request is not related to adding people to the security group. To be added to the security group, a license purchase from our software sales team is required.
