Access Licences and Training

Selkirk College has purchased licenses to a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool. Grammarly helps improve writing skills—including grammar, spelling, fluency and clarity—and engagement with an AI-connected world.

Instructors and writing support staff have the first opportunity to use the tool. Instructors, click here to activate your FREE Grammarly licence using single sign on (SSO), which means using your Selkirk College email address and password. If you already have a licence, it will be put on hold while your Selkirk College licence is in place.

Give Your Students Access

In a few weeks, there will be a time-limited opportunity to apply for the licences available in 2024/25. All instructors, chairs and deans will be sent a link to request licences for their classes, programs or school, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis this year.

Training

There will be a one-hour virtual training in September. The session will also be recorded. There will be a Grammarly Guide on teach.selkirk.ca. You can visit Grammarly’s support page for any product support questions.

Academic Integrity

Grammarly provides a variety of features to help support academic integrity in the age of AI, including a plagiarism-detection tool, citation support, a new authorship report and many more resources to improve transparency between students and their instructors. By encouraging Grammarly as part of your courses and teaching students how to cite it, you are modelling an application of Selkirk College's AI Guidelines! 

Privacy Impact Assessment

This tool has undergone a full privacy impact assessment before being adopted. Grammarly does not and will not sell user or institutional data. User data is anonymized. Data is not shared with other third parties or used to train third parties.

Instructors are invited to apply for Grammarly licenses for their classes, encourage use of the tool as part of their courses and teach citing it use!
