Description
Enterprise Licenses
The AI Enablement team is actively exploring an enterprise offering of Anthropic Claude for Notre Dame use.
We are working diligently on the details of this offering and look forward to sharing an official timeline soon.
UPDATE 9/2/26 - Regarding the DoW prohibition on Anthropic products and services (e.g., Claude.ai, Anthropic API, Claude Code, etc.) and mandatory removal, the University has received an official update recommending all defense partners stand by on the requirement to remove Anthropic products and services due to ongoing litigation. The update noted that once the litigation issue is resolved, award recipients may be held to a reduced timeframe for compliance. It also clarified that the directive applies to contracts and not other assistance instruments. On August 27, a federal judge in California ruled that the Department of Defense violated the First Amendment by designating Anthropic a supply chain risk. A second, related case is still being litigated in Washington, DC.

Claude is an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed to assist with tasks such as brainstorming, rephrasing text, generating stories, writing and running code, translating languages, and analyzing images. Accessible via web, desktop, and mobile devices, it supports various file formats including PDF, DOCX, and HTML. To use Claude, visit Claude.ai, log in with your email, and attach a file if needed. You can start a new chat for different topics to keep your conversations organized.
