*Teaching & Research: As defined by SAS, software used for purposes of classroom instruction, academic research, and course work primarily related to customer's post-secondary degree requirements. Used by students, faculty, and staff supporting such use.

*Administrative Purposes: As defined by SAS, software used for purposes directly related to customer's operations as a post-secondary degree granting institution. This includes institutional research and any such use related to reporting about the University to the University. Such software may be used by customer's administrative employees (including faculty performing administrative duties) for such administrative purposes.

SAS has chosen to separate licenses by these types of use, recognizing that these two distinct groups have very different software needs that we wish to address separately...with greater benefits being provided to the teaching/research group. This includes free trainer's kits and higher education consulting to assist with course design, etc.
