The Swarthmore College Computer Society, or SCCS, is a campus organization at Swarthmore College, a small liberal arts college in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. The SCCS is a student-run organization independent of the official ITS department of the college. There are very few organizations like it in the entire country.

The SCCS also provides a number of spaces that are open to members of the student body, as well as to faculty and staff:
