  • Mac user? Just in case, check in at https://support.grammarly.com (Grammarly's help / support area) and search 'Mac' in the Knowledge Base search to see if they've added a plugin for Macs.
  • For PC users, you will have to download the plugin and install it on your own computer (campus computers should have the plugin installed already).
