Microsoft to Launch Copilot for Microsoft 365 in Higher Education Institutions from May 2024

May 1, 2024 Microsoft Partner News

As of May 1, 2024, Microsoft will be rolling out its Copilot for Microsoft 365 for higher education institutions. This new feature will be available as an add-on for students aged 18 and above. The purchase can be made through their licensing provider with Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) volume licensing, Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), or Microsoft account team.

To be eligible for this add-on, students or faculty must be assigned Microsoft 365 or Office 365 A3 or A5 licenses. However, Microsoft has announced that from May 15, 2024, the eligibility will be expanded to include A1 licenses as well.

In a significant update, Microsoft has removed the minimum seat purchase requirement for Copilot for Microsoft 365 across all channels and segments. However, customers must have a product license of one of the prerequisite base SKUs for each seat of Copilot for Microsoft 365 they purchase.

For more information on how to transact Copilot for Microsoft 365, partners can refer to the original CSP announcement in Partner Center from January. It's important to note that all new CSP SKUs will need to utilize the new commerce experience (NCE) moving forward.

Microsoft has also announced that customers in China will be able to purchase via web direct for faculty starting on April 5, 2024.

We encourage you to review the Copilot for Microsoft 365 EDU announcement for more details and resources. You can also learn more about Copilot for Microsoft 365 by checking out the "Get started with Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365" and "What's New in Copilot for Microsoft 365" resources.

Microsoft is also offering resources to learn more about AI in education. Check out "Reimagine Education 2024: Prepare for the future with new AI and security offers", "AI in Education: A Microsoft Special Report", and "Education AI Toolkit".

To understand how this new feature is being used in real-world scenarios, you can read the "Customer Story: University of South Florida". This story highlights how educators and students now have a secure AI 'scaffolding' to support them in the classroom.

At Qloud Blog, we are excited about these new developments from Microsoft and look forward to seeing how they will enhance the educational experience for students and faculty alike.
