OpenAI is running a back-to-school deal: eligible US college students get 4 months of ChatGPT Plus free, including ChatGPT Work. That's $80, and you have to claim by October 31, 2026.
This walkthrough covers who qualifies, how to claim, and the billing details that matter.
Four free billing periods of ChatGPT Plus. That includes ChatGPT Work features like connecting email, files, and calendar, plus docs, presentations, Sites, voice, quizzes, and visuals.
Part-time counts.
Go to chatgpt.com/students/2026 and click Claim free offer.
Sign in to the ChatGPT account you want the offer on, or make one.
Your ChatGPT login does not have to be your school email. SheerID still needs a school email or enrollment docs to verify you.
SheerID sits behind the login, so finish signing in first.
Use a school email if you have one. If that fails, upload enrollment docs.
You need a card on file. You should not be charged for the 4 free months. After that it renews at $20/month unless you cancel.
Apple App Store or Google Play billing usually cannot claim this. If you already have Plus billed directly through ChatGPT, you can still qualify.
FAQ answers from the offer page:

Use SheerID's support form if your school isn't listed or they need to review documents. If SheerID said yes but ChatGPT did not apply the offer, sign in to the same account and hit the claim link again.
