What is the Open AI Challenge?
In collaboration with OpenAI, UNO is granting access to the EDU version of ChatGPT for up to 1,600 users (at no cost to the user), allowing for innovative uses of ChatGPT in the classroom and across campus. Our goal is to explore how AI can be helpful for faculty and staff in operations and in the classroom. Applications are now being accepted on a rolling basis (as long as licenses are available).
ChatGPT EDU is available for all full and part-time faculty and full-time staff at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Currently, access for students is permitted as a part of a proposal submitted by a faculty or staff member. All users must have an NU ID and unomaha.edu email address.
Apply today to start exploring!
How can I get access?

Apply for Access to ChatGPT EDU for Students in Your Class
This application is for faculty that are wanting to incorporate AI into their classrooms and obtain student licenses for students. Faculty can apply for up to 50 ChatGPT Enterprise licenses for students across their classes (some exceptions apply). Applications for student access in class must be submitted on a semester basis. While any faculty member can apply, when licenses are low, priority will go to faculty who are using AI throughout the entire semester.
Apply by August 22nd for the fall semester. NOTE: If licenses are still available, faculty may apply after the due date and still obtain licenses for their students.
Proposals will require the following:
- Number of licenses being requested
- Course name and section
- Frequency of use in your course
- Summary of how AI will be integrated
- Goals for AI integration
