Students who use Minitab for their classes may need to download data files that are used their coursework.

You need Minitab installed in order to open the data files. To learn how to access the Mintab software, click here.

If you are using UConn Anyware to access Minitab, you should either download the files onto the Anyware virtual desktop or check the instructions on Anyware file transfer.

  1. Go to the UConn software page for Minitab and click Minitab Data Files for UCONN Coursework.

  2. If you are not signed in with your NetID account, you will be prompted to do so. After signing in, a file titled "MinitabDataFiles.zip" will be downloaded.

  3. Extract the .zip folder to access the files in it.

If you receive a message stating that you are unauthorized to download the file, open the link in a private browser window and try again. If you continue having trouble, perform a NetID password test or contact the ITS Technology Support Center.

"Unsupported File Format" Error

Double-clicking the Minitab data file from File Explorer will open it in the latest version of Minitab that is installed on the machine or on AnyWare by default. Some older Minitab filetypes are not supported by the latest versions and will result in this error. Make sure that you are using the version of Minitab indicated by your instructor for your course. This will not necessarily be the newest version.
