The University maintains licenses to a variety of statistical analysis software packages. All of the software below is available to faculty, staff, and students.

Minitab

Individual faculty, staff, or students should send requests to use Minitab to TechZone at techzonesales@ilstu.edu. Instructors may submit an entire roster of students for classroom use.  An email will be sent with details on accessing Minitab when the request has been fulfilled. Requests need to be renewed each academic year. Minitab may be used on both Windows and Mac computers via an online version and a downloadable Windows version is also available.  Registered users may access Minitab through the general use virtual computer lab at Remote.IllinoisState.edu as well. The current version of Minitab is 22.  

SPSS

SPSS contains many add-ons and optional programs. The base SPSS program (versions 26, 27, 28, and 29) plus custom tables and forecasting modules are available and are updated for FY24.  Note Modeler (18.3 or 18.4) is available on an optional basis. SPSS may be used on institutional devices, such as University-issued laptops for graduate students in teaching or research roles, or in any Lab.  If you have access to a virtual lab, you may also utilize SPSS on your personal device. Off-campus users can get a non key-server manual code, but this option should be used sparingly. To request access to SPSS, contact TechZone at techzonesales@ilstu.edu.

Note: Modeler (18.3 or 18.4) is an included but optional program, and AMOS is also available for individual department purchase through TechZone.

SAS

Requests to use SAS should be sent to TechZone at techzonesales@ilstu.edu. Requests need to be renewed each academic year. A downloadable version of SAS is available for Windows computers only. 9.4 is the current version of SAS.
