Codex for University Students

Students play a critical role in shaping the future of software.

Across campuses, students use Codex to turn ideas into real systems: course registration agents that simplify enrollment, platforms that power campus communities, study tools that make learning more interactive, and early prototypes that grow into startups.

To support the next generation of builders, OpenAI is offering verified university students in the United States and Canada $100 in ChatGPT credits to use in Codex.

By activating this offer, you agree to the Service Credit Terms and the eligibility requirements below. Once verified, credits are automatically added to your ChatGPT account for use in Codex.

How it works

  1. Start the verification flow through the claim page using your ChatGPT account and university email.
  2. Once verification succeeds, OpenAI applies $100 in ChatGPT credits to that account for use in Codex.
  3. Use the credits before they expire 12 months after the grant date.
