Unique Cases

If you are a heavy user of Grammarly Editor and would like to retain your account with all the uploaded files to the Editor, you will not be able to use that account with the UIC Grammarly for Education pilot. You will be able to download all of the files you have uploaded to Grammarly before agreeing to join the license.

However, if you would like to keep your personal account without the prorated refund, you can create your separate UIC account and have both accounts running at the same time. If you would like to discuss your unique case, please contact Grammarly support. If you would like to speak to an LTS staff member, please email LTS@uic.edu.
