New Paralegal Requirement:
The Paralegal Advisory Board has strongly suggested that the Paralegal students increase their competency in keyboarding. Based on their recommendation, and in consultation with faculty, the following is proposed:
- All paralegal students must exhibit a minimum competency of 35 words per minute via a standardized test given at regular intervals during the calendar year (or successfully complete OFT 100 and 131).
- If a student passes the competency test, he or she will then receive a notation in colleague stating that “the Paralegal Program keyboarding competency has been met.”
- If a student is not able to meet the minimum requirement of 35 words per minute via the test, he or she will be required to use the 2 general elective credit hours available in the Paralegal Program towards Oft. 100 Computer Keyboarding (1 credit hour) and Oft. 131 Keyboarding Improvement (1 credit hour). Upon successful completion of both courses, the student will meet the “Paralegal Program keyboarding competency.”
- If a student elects to take the courses without taking the competency test, he or she may be able to do so. Upon successful completion of Oft. 100 & Oft.131, the student will meet the “Paralegal Program keyboarding competency.”
