SPSS Access Instructions
SPSS (Statistical Program for the Social Sciences) is a computer program that is the de-facto
standard used by research institutions and universities for the completion of quantitative analysis.
As a doctoral learner, knowledge of quantitative research techniques and the application of these
methods as provided in the application software is a required doctoral competency. Doctoral
learners are required to use SPSS during several courses to complete specific assignments.
Doctoral learners may execute SPSS Base Module and Advanced Statistics in one of two ways.
SPSS Installation on Learner’s PC or MAC
SPSS Base and Advanced Statistics Modules may be installed on a PC or MAC computer. The
combined program is very large so please make sure you have at least 2 GB of available disk
space on your computer. Once the program file is downloaded, you may access SPSS software to
complete classroom assignments and perform quantitative analysis as related to your own
research. Actual installation can be performed in less than five minutes after the file has been
downloaded. However, the initial download may exceed 60 minutes if your Internet connection is
relatively slow. In some instances when the download exceeds 60 minutes, the download may
not complete. Should you experience issues when attempting to download the SPSS file, please
access the SPSS Server (below). Please use the following links to obtain installation instructions

All SPSS programs installed on learner computers employ a security activation key which is in
effect for 12 months. Should you receive a message indicating your SPSS software is out of date
or requires a new activation key, simply follow the PC Update or MAC Update instructions. The
update is typically completed in less than five minutes.
SPSS Server Access
The SPSS Server provides a convenient alternative method to access SPSS Base and Advanced
Statistics Program via the Internet. Instead of downloading the entire SPSS program onto your
computer (which can exceed 60 minutes), you may access the SPSS program via the Internet by
downloading a small activation file (in less than five minutes). Once the activation file is
downloaded, you may access SPSS software from any location where you are connected to the
Internet to complete classroom assignments and perform quantitative analysis as related to your
own research. Please use the following link to obtain instructions on how access the SPSS
Server.

Instructions: How to access the SPSS Server
Remember that when completing course assignments using the SPSS server, it is necessary to
first download the SPSS data file (.SAV) prior to accessing the SPSS Server. Once the data file
is download to your computer, you can OPEN the file directly from SPSS.
Technical Support
Should you encounter any technical issues when attempting to install SPSS on your computer or
access the GCU SPSS Server, please contact GCU IT Technical Support at 877-428-8447. Hours
of operation: Monday – Friday: 6 AM – Midnight; Saturday and Sunday: 7 AM – Midnight (AZ
