Microsoft Copilot Premium is an advanced, AI-powered productivity tool available as an add-on to Memorial’s Microsoft 365 environment. It builds on the Copilot Basic experience by securely integrating with your university data in Microsoft 365 —including emails, files, meetings, and Teams conversations—to provide contextual, work-focused assistance.  

Copilot Premium enables faculty and staff to work more efficiently, automate routine tasks, and generate high-quality content directly within the Microsoft 365 applications they already use. 

You must sign in to Copilot Premium with your MUN Login account. The data you submit is automatically protected by Microsoft’s enterprise data protection. This means the data stays within Memorial’s Microsoft 365 environment.  To confirm that you are logged in, verify that you see a shield symbol in the top-right corner of your screen. 

Getting Started 

• Copilot Premium is available as a paid add-on license to your existing Microsoft 365 account. Copilot Premium licenses can be purchased by units for employees eligible for Microsoft 365 through IT Procurement. Contact itprocurement@mun.ca to learn more.  

• Copilot Premium licenses will be automatically renewed yearly unless the unit contacts IT Procurement by June 30 to indicate they no longer wish to renew the license. 

• Once a license is assigned to your Microsoft 365 account, you can access Copilot Premium by signing into the Microsoft 365 Copilot desktop app with your MUN Login account. Copilot Premium is also available directly within Microsoft 365 applications.
