Creating a K-State Grammarly Account

The K-State Salina campus community has access to grammarly.com/edu, which provides language mechanics and style analysis for writing and editing. K-State Salina students can sign up for individual accounts and use this tool to review and revise written work before submission for grading.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The premium version of Grammarly does have AI generative features that may not be allowed in your classes, especially writing intensive classes. It’s important that you review your professor’s policy on AI prior to using these features. You can locate these policies in their syllabi or by asking them directly.
