Copilot Agents Not Enabled" - Organization error after applying for Student Pack?

[alejonanes]

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for the GitHub Student Developer Pack. To do this, I added my university email address to my personal GitHub account.

However, when I check the Copilot tab on the GitHub mobile app, I see the following message under "Agent sessions":
"Copilot Agents Not Enabled. Copilot cloud agent is disabled for your organization. Organization administrators can adjust Copilot policies on github.com."

I am using my personal account for personal projects, so this "organization" message confused me. I have a few questions:

1. Is this message appearing simply because my Student Developer Pack is still pending approval (I understand it can take around 72 hours)?
2. Does this specific error mean that my university has actively banned/blocked Copilot features for students who link their academic emails?
3. Is this an automatic default setting, and if so, do I need to contact my university's IT department to request that they enable it?

Any clarification on whether I should just wait or if I need to take action with my university would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
