MATLAB Licensing Updates

MATLAB (a programming language and environment for numerical computation, data analysis, visualization, and algorithm development) is moving to a named-account licensing model, which will change the options Bryn Mawr College faculty and students have for accessing it moving forward:

    • Anyone can get a free account to use MATLAB Online Basic.
    • Bryn Mawr faculty and students can now get an account on Bryn Mawr College’s new MATLAB academic teaching license to access the full suite of online features and install MATLAB on college-owned and personal computers. (Haverford students can get this access through Haverford’s license.)
    • We’ve left an older version of MATLAB that does not require an account installed on classroom and lab computers to minimize disruption, but faculty and students who need the latest version or additional toolboxes will need to get an account on the new academic teaching license.

Please see our MATLAB help guide on Ask Athena for more details.
