Grammarly

LSC-University Park students have access to a premium Grammarly subscription for free! Grammarly is a writing-enhancement platform to assist you in improving your grammar and writing abilities.

What Is Grammarly?

Grammarly logo icon

Grammarly provides automated checks over your written documents to catch errors of grammar, spelling, and style. It will suggest revisions and provide an explanation of why it's correct to make each change.

A premium account is available to LSC-University Park students free of charge to you!

Receiving Your Grammarly Account

  1. Automatic Invitation.
    Invitations will be sent directly to your student email accounts within two weeks after the semester begins. No access codes or account requests are required. You must use your Lone Star College student email address i.e. [myLoneStar username]@my.LoneStar.edu after accepting the invitation. Personal email addresses will not work for Premium accounts provided through LSC-University Park.

  2. Late Enrollment, Late Start.
    For students who are late enrollments and/or have late start courses, the system will be updated periodically to account for this and send out account invitations throughout the semester. Please email uptutor@lonestar.edu from your student email account (including your ID number) if you have not received one.
     
  3. Use it!
    You're ready to start using Grammarly! You can upload documents to your account to get the Grammarly check, and/or you can install plugins and apps to streamline your work.
Note: Grammarly Premium is only available for current Lone Star College-University Park students. Accounts will lose their Premium status when you are no longer enrolled for any classes at this campus. Users found to not be enrolled with our campus will have their accounts deleted. Please let us know if you believe we've made a mistake.

FAQ

If you had a free account using your personal email, just create a separate account using your student address. This may also work if you accidentally created a free-level account with your school address: try following the account set-up steps from scratch.

Unfortunately, there's not a clear method to troubleshoot this situation if neither of the above applies. Contact uptutor@lonestar.edu for account assistance.
When you download a Grammarly-edited document, changes are noted in the comments panel in Word, which can and will print with the rest of your document. To avoid this:
  1. In your Word doc, go to the Review tab at the top of the screen.
  2. Unselect "Show comments."
  3. Where you see "Simple Markup," click this drop-down menu to change it to "No Markup."

We renew Grammarly with the fiscal year, which runs September through August. So long as we keep purchasing it, your Grammarly account will have access to premium features. We will notify users if the subscription comes to an end without renewal.

Your personal account will expire when you stop being a student with us, of course.
