Campus Computing

The INI continuously updates its software and systems to maintain a competitive edge. In addition, Carnegie Mellon has exceptional computer and library facilities that include extensive online access to citation and full-text databases. The campus is served by a high-speed wireless network that was built by the INI as part of a wireless research project. In addition, research facilities are available through the School of Computer Science (SCD) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).

Hardware & Software

The Carnegie Mellon Computer Store often offers special deals on PC and Mac computers during certain times of the year. Students can also find discounted computer products in the Computer Store year round.

Getting Connected to the CMU Campus

All students are provided with an Andrew computer account user ID and password (your social security number or a temporary CMU student number). The ID is provided by CMU Computing Services, which manages the campus-wide computer system.

While your Andrew computer account user ID cannot be changed, you can set up an email alias by visiting the MyAndrew website . You must forward your email through your original ID, and all online student services, including registration, can only be accessed using your original Andrew computer account user ID.

The Computing Services website provides an introduction to Carnegie Mellon's computing system.
