Computer and Information Literacy (CIL) (0 credits)

Students must pass competency exams in computer and information literacy. Communications Literacy, Quantitative Literacy, and Breadth courses associated with General Education are intended to further develop these skills.

UPDATE: The ability to use computers to access and present information is an important basic skill that you will build on during your time at USU. While Computer and Information Literacy (CIL) is no longer a USU requirement, such literacy is still a requirement at other schools. In the right panel of this window is some information about CIL. If your school is using the CIL requirement and the associated tests, you should review the material in that panel.

The Computer and Information Literacy requirement includes six exams:



  1. Information Law and Ethics

  2. Information Resources

  3. Document Processing

  4. Computer Systems

  5. Spreadsheets

  6. Electronic Presentations

Students must score 70 percent or higher on each exam to pass. A student has met the requirement only after he or she has passed all six examinations. There is no college credit associated with this requirement. While some college credit classes teach the required skills for the CIL exams, simply passing any class does not meet the requirement. Only by passing all of the six CIL tests is the CIL requirement met. Students should complete the CIL requirement during their freshman year, as many upper-division classes build on the skills covered in CIL. It is also a prerequisite for several majors. Effective Spring Semester 2010, students must complete the CIL requirement prior to enrolling in ENGL 2010.

There is a $30 fee associated with this requirement. There is no limit to the number of times a student can take each test. Once a test is passed, a student may not retake that test. After all tests are passed and the fee is paid, the CIL requirement will be posted to the student’s transcript.
