Accessing Matlab at JHU

While we do not provide technical support for the Matlab software, the university offers faculty, staff, and students free access to download the tool.

Licensing and Installation

Matlab can now be installed by JHU students and faculty by using your JHEDID@jh.edu email address to create a profile at the Mathworks website, where you will be directed through the JHU Single Sign-On flow as with other sites such as Canvas or Outlook.

A step-by-step guide and some very important pieces of clarification regarding installing and licensing Matlab at JHU can be found on the Whiting School of Engineering IT website's page Matlab Install and Initial Licensing

If you need to refresh the license on an existing installation of Matlab, follow the instructions on this page Refresh Matlab License

Matlab Training

All Whiting School of Engineering students have access to Matlab Fundamentals, a Canvas course that serves as an additional training resource by guiding students through using Matlab.
