*BT 103 is required for students who do not meet the keyboarding competency (45 wpm/5 min./4 or fewer errors) in BT 102 . Students may take the class twice. If the competency is still not met after taking the class twice, students will be eligible for a certificate in general office instead of the associate of applied science degree.

**These courses are currently unavailable at YVC. At the time of printing, these classes are available at Lower Columbia College. See your BT advisor.
