SAS® University Edition

SAS® University Edition®

Teachers, students, independent learners, and academic researchers can download this software for free if it's used for noncommercial learning purposes. It includes Base SAS®, SAS/STAT®, SAS/IML®, SAS/ACCESS® Interface to PC Files and SAS® Studio. Once you've downloaded the software to your PC, Mac, or Linux workstation, SAS works locally on your machine by using virtualization software and your browser, so no Internet access is required. Or you can get SAS University Edition for free via AWS Marketplace (AWS usage fees may apply).

Upcoming Changes to SAS® University Edition

SAS OnDemand for Academics is now the primary software choice for learners.  Access to SAS University Edition will end Aug. 2, 2021; users will no longer be able to download it after Apr. 30, 2021.
