Lucidchart Access and Licensing
Lucidchart is a cloud-based software product that facilitates the creation of diagrams, flowcharts, process maps, organization charts, and other aids to visual communication and collaboration.
Lucidchart, once free for use to Higher Ed, is now a pay-for-use service. The license structure includes two options within the nd.edu domain:
Education View (free license) - Read and View existing charts
A View license allows only view rights within the domain (and for those who have created charts under the prior "free model," the ability to view and comment on their content).
Education Premium (paid license) - Create, Edit, and View charts
With a Premium license, a user may create and edit Lucidchart content. Premium license holders have access to a Customer Success Manager (CSM) and to dedicated technical support from Lucid.
Beginning June 1, 2020, all users will be migrated to the Education View (free license) model. A Premium license can be acquired for $50 per user, renewable annually on May 1.
OIT will administer licensing for Lucidchart via its Central Software Service. Those seeking a Premium license will complete the request form in Service Now. A FOAPAL is required for license acquisition.
I need to use Lucidchart for a course I am teaching. How do I obtain licenses for myself and my students?
The instructor or instructor’s representative can submit the request form in Service Now and Premium licenses will be issued.
Student Personal Use
Students who require a premium license for personal use will need to obtain a license using a non-ND account.
