The SON Help Desk is always here to offer assistance, but we do ask that students attempt to install SPSS on their machines themselves using the instructions below and contact the Help Desk only if they run into problems.You will be notified when it is necessary to upgrade.
#SPSS IBM UPGRADE#
This upgrade typically occurs every July.
Johns Hopkins University has partnered with Kivuto ( ) to facilitate easy purchase of a rental license by following the steps outlined at the bottom of this page. Pricing for students is significantly reduced and may be worthwhile for some who want the flexibility to have access anywhere anytime. Contact the ITS help desk for more information. However, if you prefer to have your own licensed copy of SPSS that can be run anytime whether you are connected to the Hopkins network or not, IBM offers discounted versions of this software to students. Students, faculty and staff of the School of Nursing are eligible to use an institutional license and are not required to purchase a personal copy. Version upgrades are deployed in the late summer before the fall semester begins.
IBM SPSS Statistics 27 is the current version used at the SON. IBM SPSS Statistics is a software product that is commonly used in the social sciences, business and nursing sciences.
