as far as I know, new versions of SAS (SAS University edition is included, as it is only released with SAS 9.4), are only supporting 64-bit platforms (Operating systems and processors/CPU).
The options you have are:
- upgrade your machine/purchase a new one
- Install and older version of SAS (and pay license costs)
There is one other option. You can get a server-based SAS OnDemand for Academics account for independent learners, using SAS Studio. Although there is no installation that requires a 64 bit machine, you can use a browser to access the server using SAS Studio, but the downside of this type of free account is that you must have an Internet connection (a reasonably fast one) to connect to the server.

The SAS Users Group for Administrators (SUGA) is open to all SAS administrators and architects who install, update, manage or maintain a SAS deployment.
