You can use the TAMU main campus VOAL (virtual open access lab) for this class from any windows or apple machine.

• What you get

  • SAS software

  • 1G of diskspace that you can use over the full course. I suggest not putting any sensitive data from projects on this disk, but public data for class is fine.

• What you have to do

  • activate your NetID (http://gateway.tamu.edu/)

  • Go to https://voal.tamu.edu/ (you have to use IE or Safari)

  • Download and install a small software (this should be VERY easy)

  • Reboot your computer, and go back to https://voal.tamu.edu/

  • Log in with your NetID

  • You should get your very own desktop (H: is your 1G of space)

  • Click on the start button, and type in ‘sas’ in the find programs box

  • select SAS 9.3 (English)
