Word Processing Competency Program

As part of the Registration program all commencing degree students are to sit for a copy test requiring students to pass a typing speed of at least 20 words per minute and 90% accuracy. During the first two weeks of the academic year all commencing degree students will also be required to attend a special one-hour test to assess their word processing competency. Those who do not pass the speed or competency test are given the opportunity to attend word processing competency classes until they reach the required standard.

Word processing competency is a prerequisite to graduation and should students choose not to avail themselves of the word processing classes indicated above, they will need to make other arrangements to achieve the competency so that they may complete all requirements for graduation.
