UAB is introducing new features and subscription options for the UAB ChatGPT Edu workspace.
The updated service offers three tiers:
- ChatGPT Education Basic: Includes basic ChatGPT chat capabilities, 450 credits per month and a monthly cost of $29.25.
- ChatGPT Education Intermediate: Includes Basic features, ChatGPT Work, and the ability to create and use plugins. It provides 900 credits per month at a monthly cost of $49.50.
- ChatGPT Education Advanced: Includes Intermediate features, ChatGPT Codex, and approved MCP server connections. It provides 2,200 credits per month at a monthly cost of $108.
What existing subscribers need to know
Existing subscribers do not need to submit a new request solely because the new service options are launching. Current ChatGPT Education subscriptions will transition to Intermediate, and current Codex subscriptions will transition to Advanced.
Subscribers who want a different tier will need to submit a request to change their subscription in the IT Service Portal OpenAI/ChatGPT form.
Basic and Intermediate subscribers who need additional capacity should move to the next tier. Advanced subscribers may request up to three recurring supplemental credit packs. Each pack provides 1,000 additional credits for $45 per month.
Who can request the service
UAB faculty and staff are eligible to request UAB ChatGPT Edu. Before a new subscription is provisioned, each person requesting access must confirm that they have read and understand UAB’s Responsible AI Use.
Plugins and connections to additional tools or data sources must meet UAB approval and data-handling requirements.
