Microsoft 365 Copilot Now Available for Higher Education Institutions

August 13, 2024 Microsoft Partner News

As of May 1, 2024, Copilot for Microsoft 365 is now available for higher education institutions to purchase as an add-on for their students aged 18 and older. This announcement is particularly relevant to Licensing Solution Provider (LSP) and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners.

Customers can purchase this add-on through their licensing provider with Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) volume licensing, Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), or Microsoft account team. To meet eligibility requirements, students or faculty who have licenses via student use benefits (SUB) must be assigned Microsoft 365 or Office 365 A1, A3, or A5 licenses.

There have been several updates to the Copilot for Microsoft 365. The minimum seat purchase requirement has been removed 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.

Partners can refer to the original CSP announcement in Partner Center from January for more information on how they can transact Copilot for Microsoft 365 today. All new CSP SKUs need to utilize the new commerce experience (NCE) moving forward. As of April 5, 2024, customers in China are able to purchase via web direct for faculty.

For more details and resources, it is recommended to review the Copilot for Microsoft 365 EDU announcement. To get started with Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, there are several resources available including 'What's New in Copilot for Microsoft 365' and various articles on AI in education such as 'Reimagine Education 2024: Prepare for the future with new AI and security offers', 'AI in Education: A Microsoft Special Report', and 'Education AI Toolkit'.

There are also customer stories available to hear how Education customers are using it. For example, the University of South Florida shares their experience. With this new availability, educators and students now have a secure AI 'scaffolding' to support them in the classroom. This is a significant step forward in integrating AI into education, providing students and educators with the tools they need to succeed in the digital age.
