Keyboarding Proficiency Requirement

SWOSU students are expected to use computer labs, writing labs, the on-line library card catalog, computer information sources, and computer networks and therefore must demonstrate competency in keyboarding skills. Freshmen students who completed a typing or keyboarding class in high school meet the keyboarding proficiency requirement. Those who do not have one of these courses on their high school transcript may take a keyboarding proficiency examination. A minimum of 35 words per minute on a three minute timed writing with not more than seven errors will allow students to meet the minimum keyboarding proficiency requirement. Students who do not meet high school course or testing proficiency must enroll in a one-hour non-credit course General Studies 0121 Keyboarding during the first semester of enrollment.
