SAS OnDemand for Academics聽
SAS OnDemand for Academics () is a cloud-based version of SAS for use by students, educators and independent learners. It can be accessed on any computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) with internet connection and browser. 聽
SAS OnDemand for Academics should be sufficient for most use cases at the University. However, if a full version of SAS is required, please refer to the section below. 聽
SAS University Edition was a virtual desktop environment SAS provided but was discontinued in 2021. SAS OnDemand for Academics has a near-identical interface and is based entirely on the web. 聽
SAS 9.4
In cases where SAS OnDemand for Academics is insufficient, the 吃瓜大本营 maintains licenses of SAS 9.4 for academic use by faculty, staff, and where appropriate, students. This version is only available for teaching and research purposes (no administrative use). SAS 9.4 can only be run on Windows machines. 聽
The installation of SAS 9.4 is a lengthy process and requires 24GB free disk on your device. When planning to install SAS 9.4, users should plan for at least 3 hours for the installation to complete and be connected to an ethernet internet connection if possible.聽
