Exemptions/Waivers

Can I be waived from CIS 1000?

Baruch College is no longer teaching CIS 1000, Problem-Solving Techniques Using Microcomputers (1 hour; 1 credit). Instead, all students who wish to register for CIS 2200, Introduction to Business Computing, and/or Statistics 2000, Business Statistics I must first pass the SimNet Assessment Test. This test is a hands-on computer evaluation of your Microsoft Excel Skills. Once you pass the SimNet Assessment Test, your student records will be updated, and if you have met all other necessary requirements you will be permitted to register for CIS 2200 and Statistics 2000.
