Google Drive is not yet available in Google Apps @ NC State. NC State is on the "scheduled release track," which means that OIT gets a little extra time to test and document new releases from Google before they are available to our users. This is to ensure that brand new offerings from Google do not impact the Google Apps @ NC State service.
According to estimates by Google, Google Drive will be available to scheduled release schools some time in the 3rd quarter of 2012 (July/August/September). More information about Google Drive on Google Apps @ NC State.
Campus users can download SAS 9.3 for Windows and Linux in both 32 and 64 bit formats. JMP 10 is available for download for Windows and Macintosh. To download the newest versions of SAS and JMP and to acquire licensing, please visit the Software@NC State website.
