Students in degree-granting programs will have access beginning in February. 

Microsoft Copilot provides commercial data protection, however, sensitive or restricted data, including protected health information (PHI) and employee and student information, should never be shared through Microsoft Copilot chat (access Policy 4-004: University of Utah Information Security for more information). In addition, to help University of Utah Health maintain the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality, using Microsoft Copilot for patient-related activity is prohibited.
