Computer Club offers a number of useful services that complement those offered officially by CMU Computing Services. These are primarily of interest to the campus community, but most are available to the world. Typically, we offer services that fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Are targeted at a small segment of the community (power users)
• Would be cost- or time-prohibitive to support officially
• Are too new to match the slow roll-out period of official services
• Would not scale practically if used by the entire campus

As a student organization run by volunteers, we do not offer service guarantees and nobody carries a pager. However, our services are generally extremely stable and have come to be relied upon by a significant proportion of the campus community.
