Grammarly is a software program that will help improve writing by providing suggestions to correct grammar and spelling and by providing insights on writing style and tone. Grammarly can integrate with Microsoft Office, Windows, Chrome, and Google Docs.
Purdue Global has a university Grammarly license for faculty and staff. Eligible new hires will receive an email invitation to activate their university account as part of the onboarding process. Activation instructions are provided in the email, and a guide is available below to walk through the initial setup and provide additional resources for using the tool.
Please note, accounts are only available for Purdue Global employees.
If you have any questions, please contact askctl@purdueglobal.edu.
General License and Account Information
General License and Account Information
Purdue Global maintains a license for the Grammarly for Education version of the tool. Learn more about the different versions of Grammarly. Key points in the version differences are included below.
The free version of Grammarly provides users with only basic spelling, grammar, and punctuation suggestions. The Grammarly for Education plan provides detailed suggestions and explanations that span four categories: Correctness, Clarity, Delivery, and Engagement. You can see a complete breakdown of these differences.
The free version of Grammarly does not include our plagiarism detection and citation features.
Grammarly for Education comes equipped with our Generative AI functionality, 2000 prompts per month for users, and several education-specific features, including auto-citations, academic prompts, AI guideline reminders, and the Authorship features.
Grammarly for Education includes detailed analytics to help measure and track activity and progress over time.
Grammarly for Education provides enhanced Data Management and Privacy controls (particularly important to note when leveraging Generative AI – Grammarly for Education does not allow any models to be trained on user data).
Grammarly: Update a Personally Paid Subscription
Grammarly: Update a Personally Paid Subscription
Purdue Global employees who wish to take advantage of the university account may update or cancel a personally paid subscription. Grammarly only allows one account per email address. Employees can choose to move their current paid subscription to a personal email account or cancel the subscription. Additional information and instructions are available for updating a personally paid subscription.
Please note that canceling your subscription will only cancel future charges. Your current paid subscription will continue through the end of the subscription period. If you have significant time left on the subscription, it is best to move this account to a personal email address and allow the remainder of the subscription to run out there.
Adding Grammarly to Chrome/Google Docs
Adding Grammarly to Chrome/Google Docs
Make sure you have the Chrome app installed on your computer. You can do this from the Grammarly account site when you are logged in with your PG account.
Once you have the app installed, you should see the Grammarly icon in your web apps list (the puzzle icon at the top right of any Chrome browser window). You can pin the app for easy access.
Open any Google doc and click on the Grammarly app in your browser bar or app list. You should be prompted to "turn on" the app for Google Docs.
Once the app has been activated for Google Docs, you should see a Grammarly icon on the bottom right of your document. Clicking on that will allow you to check the document you are in through the Grammarly tool.
