Using Grammarly

What’s the best way to use Grammarly?

  • Real Time vs After Writing:

    Grammarly can be used while you are typing to spot-check your grammar in real time, or can be used to scan documents after they have been written. You can use either functionality, or both at the same time–experiment with what works best with your writing habits.
  • Individualized Support:

    Because Grammarly uses Artificial Intelligence, it’s most effective if you use it often. As it learns your writing style and the way things are written in your discipline, it will develop individualized writing support to help teach you how to further polish your writing.
  • Prior to Thesis Office Review:

    Use Grammarly on your Thesis or Dissertation prior to submitting it to the Thesis Office for review. Using Grammarly can speed up the approval of your manuscript and make the Thesis Release process smoother and more efficient.

Note: that you can use the online tool as a check for your grammar, or download the Grammarly apps to help you in real-time on Word, Windows, and Chrome platforms.

 

FAQs

I didn’t get the email from Grammarly. What do I do?

If it is the beginning of a semester, your invitation to Grammarly will be sent to you in a couple of weeks.

If you are an active student who has chosen to forward your Umail account to another email application, your Grammarly subscription may be flagged as spam.  The best way to access your Grammarly account is through your Umail  account (uID@utah.edu). Every student has a Umail account, which can be accessed at CIS. Official University information comes to this account.
