Getting Started and Access to Gemini

Who has access to Gemini?

• Faculty and Staff
  • Full-time faculty and staff may request a Google Gemini AI Pro for Education license on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Adjunct faculty and full-time contingent staff with a business need for Gemini may request a Google Gemini AI Pro for Education license, and UIS will confirm if the request can be accommodated; however, it is based on license availability.
• Students
  • All students may opt in to have Gemini for Education enabled on their GU Google Workspace.
  • Gemini for Education has lower prompt limits than Google Gemini AI Pro.

Note: Part-time staff do not currently have access to Gemini, but access will be evaluated at a future date
