Computing@Carnegie Mellon (C@CM) is a 3-unit, pass/fail mini course that will help you develop foundational computing and information literacy skills, focusing on the tools and technologies that are specific to Carnegie Mellon so you can be successful in your other academic courses. All undergraduate students are required to take the course. C@CM is offered in a hybrid format through the Open Learning Initiative's (OLI) online course environment; allowing you to complete the course as quickly as possible and on your own time. Although the course can be completed independently, there are a number of requirements and support services that require your physical attendance. The course runs for half of the semester and meets once a week for 50 minutes. Students must pass the course with at least a 75% grade based on a final exam. Incoming students are expected to take C@CM during the fall semester. Mini 3 and 4 sections are reserved for spring transfer students and those that did not successfully complete the course previously. There are no test-out options and Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or college-level computing courses cannot be substituted for this requirement. C@CM is formerly known as Computing Skills Workshop (CSW).
