Technology Proficiency Information
Students who first registered at Adams State College Fall Semester 2000 or later, must demonstrate a baseline proficiency with technology by either: (1) passing the ASC Technology Proficiency Examination with a grade of 70% or higher in each of the four major content areas, or (2) passing an approved technology course (currently CSci 100 or Bus 120) with a grade of "C-" or better. This proficiency should be met by the end of the sophomore year.
What 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.
