What CIS 105 asks.

Computer Applications and Information Technology, from ASU's online course catalog: what it covers, how the grade is built, how the deadlines work, and how it counts at the University of Arizona and NAU.

ASU general studiesQTRS: Quantitative Reasoning
Typical loadAbout 6 hrs a week on an 8-week pace

What it covers

Practical business computing: Excel formulas, charts, conditional logic and tables, then SQL queries and database joins, grounded in how information systems support decisions.

How the grade is built

Assignments on the course platform40%
Practice problems30%
Reading quizzes30%

From ASU's posted syllabus for the Spring A 2027 section. Weights can change between sessions; the syllabus for your section is the one that counts. A C usually starts near 70%, the line for adding the credit.

How the deadlines work

Open access with scheduled deadlines: everything is available from day one and work can be done early, but each assignment has a due date to keep to.

In a session-based course, work can finish early but the grade is finalized only after the session ends; an on-demand course posts in the session the student finishes. Either way, ASU's syllabi give up to a year after finishing to decide whether to add the credit ($400 to ASU, only with a C or better).
