Short answer: Eligible US college and graduate students (full- or part-time) can get four free monthly billing periods of ChatGPT Plus, including ChatGPT Work. Verify with SheerID and claim by October 31, 2026. It renews at $20/month unless you cancel.
How to claim
- Open chatgpt.com/students/2026 in a browser.
- Sign in to the ChatGPT account you want it on (it does not need to be your school email).
- Verify enrollment with SheerID (school login, records or documents).
- New subscribers add a payment method; you are not charged during the 4 months.
Watch out
- App Store or Google Play subscriptions can't get the offer while store-billed.

- If you cancel, Plus runs to the end of the current month and remaining free months are forfeited.
- Set a calendar reminder before month 4 ends if you don't want to pay $20.
