BYUH Grammarly Subscription Ending

Aloha BYUH Ohana,

The Grammarly subscription price is increasing by 60%. Based on this and also the observation that current technologies do assist with grammar-needs, the Center for Academic Success has decided to not renew the Grammarly subscription effective immediately. Those current subscribers will automatically revert back to the Grammarly free version so previous or current work is not affected.

Please look to other BYUH technologies for your grammar-related needs.

Mahalo for your understanding
