The ISD Clinic is a University-based information technology consultancy and instructional program providing project-based services to on-campus and off-campus organizations. It has the mission to give students real-world experience in the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of information systems. The Clinic is hosted at the School of Information but open to students from engineering, computer science, business and other disciplines. The Clinic's primary client base are organizations on the UC Berkeley campus, but the Clinic also works with industry partners, and nonprofit public interest organizations.

Work with the Clinic is typically sustained through partnership relationships, gifts, or through collaborative project development and grant writing to acquire third-party funding.
