Those students who do not make a passing score the second time will be required to complete one of the following options before graduation:
(1) passing CIS 150 Introduction to Computer Applications or another CIS course specified by the major
OR
(2) for students who are pursuing a major leading to teacher certification: passing EDM 310 Microcomputing Systems in Education. This course is required for all teacher certification programs.
NOTE: Students are advised to complete the computer competency requirement in the freshman or sophomore year since computing skills are used in most courses.
