Grammarly is a web-based, automated proofreading and revision tool that provides grammar, spelling and tone checks. As of January 2023, Grammarly is no longer licensed by GSU Instruction Innovation & Technology. (See FAQ about Changes to the Technology Toolset and suggestions for substitutes for Grammarly.)

To help with citation management and formatting, the library also has a Zotero research guide and sometimes offers Zotero workshops.

You can still access the free version of Grammarly through the Grammarly website.

  1. What are the reasons for ending Grammarly for Education access? As a student, I found this to be extremely unfair.

  2. Hi, KS - The Office of Instructional Innovation & Technology has offered this explanation of the software they are discontinuing. You can find more information at their website: https://technology.gsu.edu/changes-to-technology-toolset/ The good news is that you will still have access to the basic version of Grammarly here: https://www.grammarly.com/plans And this page provides information about tools that can be used as alternatives for certain features: https://technology.gsu.edu/technology-services/productivity-collaboration/grammarly/ I am updating this FAQ with information about the basic version of Grammarly and some other tools to support citations and plagiarism checking.
