All Undergraduate and New College students who entered St. Edward's University under the Fall 1999 catalog and later are required to satisfy the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR modules comprise Introduction to Computers, the World Wide Web and Internet Communications, Introduction to Word Processing, and Introduction to Spreadsheets. Students must satisfactorily complete a web-based test over each module in order to fulfill this requirement. As the faculty incorporate more technology into curriculum, having students complete this requirement before, or in conjunction with, a class will allow focus on class subject matter without devoting class time teaching basic computer skills.
