To receive a waiver in Business Administration 150 you must have completed an equivalent course in computer proficiency at another college or university within the last two years. The course must include training in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access in Office 2003 or Office 2007. To apply for a Credit by Waiver deliver a detailed syllabus and a copy of your transcript to Jan Hime in CBA 247. For more information on the Credit by Waiver contact Jan Hime at with the subject heading "BSAD150 Waiver Review".
We recommend that you take the course rather than testing out. Approximately 70% of students indicate in surveys and class evaluations that they would not have passed the exams without the preparation they received in the class. In addition, the eight-week course is designed to offer students more practical benefits such as small group projects that teach skills you will need in future courses.
With Credit by Exam you have two and a half hours to pass four computer-based exams; one in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Access and Excel. Each exam has approximately 25 questions and is timed. To pass the course you must pass ALL exams at 80% or better.
The cost for the Credit by Examination is half the cost of the course plus the cost of the exam software. You can only take the Credit by Examination once. If you do not pass the Credit By Exam, you will not receive a refund and you will need to take the course. We suggest that unless you have intermediate to advanced software skills you not attempt the Credit by Exam.
