Welcome to the SCAD/DCS Program
The SCAD/DCS (Support for Computing in Academic Departments/Department Computing Support) program is the frontline support and maintenance for desktop hardware and software systems at Princeton University. It has been uniquely structured allowing the benefits of centralization and the freedom of decentralization.
News
We will be transitioning to fully utilizing the updated Service Catalog framework beginning October 10, 2022.
At the fourth annual GPU Hackathon at Princeton, experts from NVIDIA, Princeton, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Boston College and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers worked with scientists to help them speed up their code.
The September edition covers getting started with the Fall semester, the Creative Cloud, creating accessible coursework and communications and more.
