Technology Proficiency Information
During the Fall 2012 Semester, Academic Council and Faculty Senate
both voted to eliminate the Technology Proficiency Graduation
Requirement for all current and future students.
Some academic departments have chosen to maintain the requirement for certain majors (Business, Teacher Education, and Nursing, to name a few). Students should check with their academic advisors to see whether there is a technology proficiency requirement in their majors.

What is the Technology Proficiency exam?
For the departments that still require students to demonstrate
technology proficiency: one option for demonstrating appropriate
skill is the "Technology Proficiency Exam".
The examination consists of four individual tests covering Computer Literacy, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. A score of 70% or higher in each content area is required to fulfill the technology proficiency.
If a student passes three of the four content areas, the student need only retake the exam for the one area he/she did not pass.
However, if a student fails two or more of the content areas, he/she must take (and pass) all four content area exams to fulfill the technology proficiency requirement.
