NVivo School License

Updated March 23, 2021

Site license purchases of NVivo can now be purchased through the Campus Computer Store. The license currently covers NVivo version 12.

The Faculty of Social Science, in conjunction with Western Libraries, the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Information and Media Studies, the Faculty of Health Sciences, and the Ivey School of Business, has entered into a campus agreement for NVivo 11. The license covers NVivo 11 Starter for Windows, NVivo 11 Pro for Windows, and NVivo for Mac.

How can I access NVivo?

In the Faculty of Social Science, we are installing NVivo 11 on public computers in most Graduate and Undergraduate computer rooms. If you cannot find NVivo on one of these public systems, please contact the administrator of that computer room.

Can I get NVivo on my own computer?

If you are from the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Information and Media Studies, the Faculty of Health Sciences, or the Ivey School of Business, please contact your local IT staff for information. If you are in the Faculty of Social Science, please see below. If you are not in any of the listed faculties, you can use it on the systems in Western Libraries or have your IT department contact Social Science Technology Services.
