Computing@Carnegie Mellon (C@CM) is a graduation requirement for all undergraduate students. This 3-unit, pass/fail course is primarily comprised of Carnegie Mellon-specific information. It is intended to help students understand what resources are available as well as their responsibilities as users in our computing community. The course runs for half of the semester and meets twice a week for 50 minutes. Students must pass the course with at least a 75% grade based on 3 exams, 2 assignments and attendance. 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).
