Subscription guidance for university work

ChatGPT and Claude are managed separately from the broader Services catalog because subscription choices, workspace limits, and data guidance matter before you start using them.

Before you subscribe

Make a good choice before you start

Use these three checks before requesting or using a UMD-managed AI subscription.

01
Check your work and data

Identify the task and the highest UMD data classification involved before you select a service.

02
Review the platform and subscription

Compare the platform's tiers, access requirements, and intended use before you request or change a subscription.

03
Request access and manage usage

Follow the access process, understand limits or credits, and contact DIT AI Services when you need help.

Use subscriptions safely

Subscription access does not replace good judgment

Check the data classification before entering UMD information, follow the applicable service guidance, and verify AI-generated output before using it for decisions or important work.

Level 4 data needs additional review. Start with the UMD data-classification guidance before using restricted or highly regulated information with any AI service.
