What if I previously created a personal ChatGPT account with my university email?

Option 1
You can update the email address on your personal ChatGPT account to a personal email address before accepting your ChatGPT Edu invitation.
Option 2
You can merge your exisiting personal ChatGPT account into your new ChatGPT Edu workspace. To merge your workspaces:
- Accept your invitation to ChatGPT Edu
- Select "Transfer exisiting chat history and GPTs" when prompted
Option 3
You can delete your personal workspace and start over in ChatGPT Edu. To delete your personal workspace:
- Accept your invitation to ChatGPT Edu
- Select "Export and delete exisiting chat history"*
* Note: this will permanently delete your existing personal ChatGPT account after the export process is complete.
