Information Literacy Graduation Requirement

How to Satisfy the Information Literacy Requirement

Students with catalog rights beginning Fall 2011 must satisfy an information literacy requirement prior to graduation. This is a basic competency requirement for the Associate Degree awarded by Skyline College. This requirement does not apply to those seeking a certificate from Skyline College. Before attempting to complete Option B or C below, please check with a counselor or use DegreeWorks to be sure you are definitely required to meet this requirement.

Fulfill the information literacy requirement by meeting ONE of the following options:

Option A: Satisfactory completion of a Skyline College ENGL 100/C1000 course or ENGL 105/C1000E course taken Fall 2011 or thereafter;
OR
Option B: Satisfactory completion of the Skyline College Information Literacy Tutorial. This tutorial does not satisfy graduation requirements for other colleges outside of SMCCD. Complete a Registration Request for the Information Literacy Tutorial;
OR
Option C: Satisfactory completion of an equivalent college‐level information literacy or information competency course or requirement with a grade of C or better and submitting a completed Information Literacy Equivalency Petition.
