As of Summer 2025, CNF no longer separately licenses or installs MATLAB – licensing is available to Cornell faculty, staff, and students via CU Software Licensing.

Cornell Student licensing for currently registered students at Cornell University, for installation onto student-owned equipment only, is available at no cost.

  • Student licenses may NOT be installed onto any Cornell-owned computer.

Academic licensing for faculty and staff must be paid for by Cornell departmental funds:

  • Installation onto Cornell-owned equipment only
  • Home Use licensing available at no extra cost.

On CNF systems, users may instead use Octave, which is mostly compatiable with MATLAB.
