SAS at GVSU
We recommend using cloud-based solutions for accessing SAS. We provide TWO solutions below: SAS OnDemand for Academics, and GVSU's Virtual Lab.
- Benefits: No software to install, software is up to date. Simple to use. Easy to get started.
- Negatives: Need to upload files or access data off the internet. There is a lot of data preloaded. You need to have internet access.
Cloud-based Solutions
SAS On Demand for Academics
SAS On Demand for Academics uses SAS Studio - a modern programming interface for SAS.
GVSU Virtual Lab
Access SAS on the GVSU virtual lab. Note that you need to use the WINDOWS virtual machine. This is a remote log in to the GVSU lab computers. Once logged in, click on Lab Applications on the Desktop, then STATISTICS, then SAS9.4.
If you use SAS EG as your programming interface, click on that, if you prefer using the SAS windowing environment (what some call SAS 9.4, but really all the interfaces access SAS 9.4) click there, or you also can run SAS studio. This page details more information about the various SAS interfaces.
For Mac users, note that you need to use the WINDOWS virtual machine, even though you have a Mac.
