These options are explained during the activation process and instructions are provided on our website.

Faculty and staff at Fresno State will have access to Grammarly Edu under a one-year institutional license, which ends August 2026.

Fresno State is offering Grammarly for Education, an AI-powered writing assistant designed for educational institutions. Limitations may apply. 

  • Strategic Suggestions: Leverages AI to analyze your text and guide you to write more purposefully. Grammarly anticipates your readers’ questions or concerns and helps you fill those gaps up front. It identifies your main point and helps you focus attention on it. It also recognizes your audience and suggests ways to make your text resonate better with them.
  • My Voice: Personalize your "voice" to bring more authenticity to what you write. You can personalize your voice settings in the Gen AI settings of your account.
  • AI Assistance:
    • Contextual Corrections: The AI analyzes text for grammar, clarity, and engagement among other factors. It suggests improvements tailored to your context and writing style.
    • Emotion-driven Editing: Grammarly can recommend changes based on emotional tone, guiding you to express your intent more effectively.
  • AI Text Selection: If you want to work on a specific piece of text within a larger document, use your mouse to highlight that text (i.e. sentence of paragraph). The Gen AI feature will now recognize that the prompt you input is specific to that piece of text.
  • AI Quick Replies: Grammarly will use context from an email you receive to offer instant options for generating a reply, integrating additional context like the sender’s name and intent into the generated reply.
  • AI Prompt History: AI prompt history will be saved for 3 days. It's important to note that prompt history is different from content history. This is specific to the questions or prompts that the user inputs into the chat (i.e., help me rephrase this sentence or help me draft an outline, etc). The actual document being edited is NOT saved for 3 days (the cache for documents is cleared within 3 hours of inactivity).
  • Translate with Grammarly: The translation feature allows you to translate text directly within Grammarly.
  • Authorship: Enables users to demonstrate their sources of text in a Google Doc or Microsoft Word document. When a user enables Authorship tracking within either Google Docs (via the Grammarly browser extension) or Microsoft Word (via Grammarly for Windows and Mac), Grammarly Authorship proactively tracks the writing process. Authorship automatically categorizes the source of text as it is entered into the body of a document. Because Grammarly runs on your browser and across your desktop (via the Mac and Windows client), Grammarly is able to distinguish between text that is typed directly into your document, text that is pasted from a browser-based source, and text that is pasted from an unknown source, like a private browsing window. Furthermore, Grammarly Authorship provides specific categorizations, distinguishing text that is AI-generated from the text that is typed by the end user and then modified with Grammarly’s generative AI rephrasing capability. Authorship also categorizes text that is typed and then edited with traditional, non-generative Grammarly features, like grammatical error correction, clarity rewrites, and word choice suggestions. 
*AI features listed above can be enabled or disabled based on individual user preference.
