There are several different ways to use Stata for your research at UVa.
To use the University's Site Licensed Stata:
- You can use Stata on Remote Apps from virtually any location with an Internet connection. Stata is available on Remote Apps, but there are fewer than 50 concurrent licenses available, which means that during peak time periods like mid-terms and finals only 50 users can use Stata. If you are the next user after the licenses are checked out you will be shut out of Stata by lack of licenses.
Want to get Stata on your own computer so it will always be available to you?
- UVa has a special program with Stata called the Stata Prof+ GrandPlan that allows members of the UVa community to rent or purchase Stata at greatly reduced rates. If you want Stata and do not use the GradPlan you will pay full academic price. Make sure you always use the GradPlan.
