Swarthmore College Computer Society
Digital services by and for Swarthmore students
Welcome! We're a collective of student volunteers who maintain digital services for the students, staff, and alumni of Swarthmore College. We offer club mailing lists, a campus directory, a daily digest, and much more. Most services require an SCCS account, available to anyone with an @swarthmore.edu email address.

Looking for GUTS? Here lies its replacement, SAUCE (SCCS Account and User Control Engine). SAUCE continues our tradition of replacing our dashboard system every decade.

Minecraft Server Fixed

For a few years, SCCS has operated a Minecraft Server for the Swarthmore community. However, server whitelisting and performance were tanked when we migrated to our new server last year. We are pleased to announce that once more you can whitelist your Minecraft account and join our server! See Minecraft for details. Also check out the online map!
