The League, founded in 1968, is an educational consortium that functions specifically to stimulate innovation and experimentation. It is the only organization of its kind in the community college field and has achieved national recognition for the quality of its programs and activities.

As a national organization with members in all regions of the country, the League influences community college development throughout North America. To this end, the League is not only committed to programs that contribute to the continuing improvement of member colleges, but also to providing opportunities for other community colleges to participate in its workshops, conferences, projects, and activities.

College Philosophy, Mission, and Values Statement of Philosophy The philosophy of Santa Fe College is student centered. Consistent with this philosophy, we value cultural diversity and serve all persons regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, marital status, age or disability.

The college believes that preparing students for healthy, productive lives in a democratic society is the chief obligation of the public educational system. Therefore, we seek to enable changes in individuals that allow them to live richer, more rewarding, and more useful lives.

We further believe that educated people should be guided in their behavior by decency and civility; accordingly, we prize honesty, integrity, and social responsibility among both our staff and students. The college aspires to transmit these values as well as foster in students the critical thinking and problem-solving skills, global perspective, and creativity necessary to make educated and ethical decisions in all aspects of their lives.

Mission In keeping with our values and goals, Santa Fe College, a comprehensive public institution of higher education serving North Central Florida and beyond, adds value to the lives of our students and enriches our community through excellence in teaching and learning, innovative educational programs and student services, and community leadership and service.

College History Santa Fe College was established by the state government in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education.

Since then, SF has established programs and services that enable the college to carry out its mission of educational opportunity, responsiveness to the community, economic development, and innovation in the public interest. The philosophy of the college during those years has been, and continues to be, one of student centeredness.

Enrollment has grown rapidly. Fewer than 1,000 students enrolled when classes were first offered in September 1966.

Today, approximately 18,000 students take credit classes and 12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are offered at the Northwest Campus, Andrews Center in Starke, Blount Center in downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer, Kirkpatrick Center in east Gainesville, Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua and Watson Center in Keystone Heights.

The college has expanded education programs by increasing the number of classes offered by electronic means such as the Internet and live broadcasts to the SF centers. More than 4,000 students take classes through Open Campus, SF's online center.

Originally named Santa Fe Junior College, Santa Fe College became the new name in 2008 when it was authorized by Florida's governor and legislature to offer baccalaureate degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. First Bachelor's degree program was offered Fall 2009 in Organizational Management.

SF has had only five presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was president from 1965 to 1971, Dr. Alan J. Robertson was president from 1971 to 1990, Dr. Larry W. Tyree was president from 1990 to 2002, Dr. Jackson N. Sasser was president from 2002 to 2020 and was succeeded in 2020 by Dr. Paul Broadie II. College Academics The college's educational offerings include the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), Bachelor of Science (BS), Vocational Certificate (VC) and Continuing and Community Education programs.

The Associate in Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students in this program intend to transfer to four-year colleges or universities. SF sends more students to the University of Florida than does any other institution. Many former SF students go to other four-year schools, public and private, in and out of state. Since 2009, the college has offered bachelor's degrees in several new areas of study.

Santa Fe offers Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree programs in Clinical Laboratory Science, Industrial Biotechnology, Health Services Administration, Multimedia and Video Production Technology, and Organizational Management. The Bachelor of Science (BS) programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree. Santa Fe College currently offers the Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting, Early Childhood Education and Nursing. Additional degrees will follow in the future, as specific needs are identified.

Career and Technical Education consists generally of AS, AAS and certificate programs that prepare students for successful entry into a career, although some programs are transferable to universities. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of students in these programs either enter a career or proceed to further higher education.

Continuing Education programs assist professionals looking to advance or change their careers with recertification, additional training, or special course work.

Community Education offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth. More than 9,000 area residents participate in Community Education courses each year.

Academic life is highlighted by the Honors Program, Phi Theta Kappa, SF-UF Foreign Languages Institute, Research in Undergraduate Education Festival, a Model UN team, a Brain Bowl, a Math Team and several international Study Abroad programs.

Degree Programs The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree program is for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university upon graduation. This degree is composed of 36 credit hours of General Education and 24 credit hours of electives that are usually comprised of the pre-professional courses required for entrance to a particular upper division major. At least 60 credit hours in courses designated with a P (Parallel) must be successfully completed in order to graduate with an AA degree. AA degrees are general liberal arts degrees intended for college or university transfer and are not major specific. Therefore, a student can only earn one AA degree.

Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree programs are designed for entry into employment after completion of the two-year degree. They include 15-18 credit hours of General Education courses and approximately 42 credit hours specific to the degree that is being earned.

Technical Certificate programs are designed to meet the occupational needs of the community by preparing students for employment. These programs of instruction do not require 60 credit hours of college level courses.

Santa Fe College offers the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree programs which provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with Associate in Science degrees or the equivalent.

The Bachelor of Science (BS) is the designated four-year degree for baccalaureate programs comprised of concentrated studies in the sciences, applied sciences, health sciences, or professional disciplines.

Military Science Air Force ROTC The Air Force Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) was established to select and prepare students to serve as officers in the United States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program is divided into two phases. The first two years constitute the General Military Course and the last two the Professional Officer Course. Full-time Santa Fe College students are eligible to enroll in the General Military Course taught at the University of Florida. Transferring at a later date to one of the more than 140 colleges and universities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

18

The General Military Course examines the role of U.S. military forces in the contemporary world with particular attention to the United States Air Force, its organization and mission. The functions of strategic offensive and defensive forces, general purpose and aerospace support forces are covered. The development of air power over the last 200 years is examined by tracing the various concepts of employment of air power, and by focusing on factors which prompted research and technological change. A variety of events and elements in the history of air power are stressed, especially where these provide significant examples of the impact of air power on strategic thought.

To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-3921355.

Army ROTC Santa Fe College offers the Army Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation by taking this course of instruction and are eligible to compete for two- and three-year scholarships. These scholarships can be used at any four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The scholarships pay all tuition, textbook, laboratory fees and other purely educational expenses.

Students who successfully complete two years of college and the basic course will be given a certificate of training allowing them, upon transfer, to enroll in the Army ROTC Advanced Course. This leads to a reserve or regular commission as a second lieutenant in the Active Army, Army Reserve or National Guard. Students who do not transfer to an upper division college and who desire to enlist in the Army may be able to do so at a higher pay level.

To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Army ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-392-1395.

Financial Aid Financial aid is money provided to help you pay the cost of attending college. Different types of financial aid include grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans. Funding can also come from other sources such as private scholarships offered by outside organizations. Be sure to review the requirements for each type of financial aid so you can apply for different types and maintain your eligibility.

More information can be found at https://www.sfcollege.edu/fa/ways-to-pay/.

Who Should Apply?

All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid, to determine eligibility. You can apply by completing the Free Application for Student Financial Aid at https://studentaid.gov/.

While some aid programs have additional requirements, all federal and state programs require the following:

•

You must be accepted as degree-seeking in an AA degree or AS career program, or certificate-seeking in a financial aid eligible vocational training program. Students who are "Pending" in a program are not yet fully accepted.

• • • • •

You must be a U.S. Citizen, U.S. national or eligible non-citizen.

You must not be in default on a prior student loan.

You must be registered for Selective Service, if required.

You must have a valid high school diploma or equivalent, such as a GED certificate.

You must be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements, after all previous college coursework is evaluated.

More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid federal regulations (34 CFR 668.34) require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid. Specific requirements of academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than college Standards Of Academic Progress (SOAP) statuses of Academic Warning, Probation and Suspension. Federal regulations state that financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether aid was received. The student must meet all the minimum standards to receive financial aid.

Students must meet the following criteria:

• • •

Complete 67% of all credits attempted.

•

The initial evaluation at SF will be based on all previous institutions attended once the official transcripts are received, evaluated, and posted to the student's record. Transfer students must have a 2.0 all college cumulative GPA and complete 67% of attempted credits accepted towards their program of study.

Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

Complete their program of study within 150% timeframe of their degree or eligible certificate program. For example, if a program is 60 credit hours, then the student must complete all required coursework within 90 hours.

Note: Dropped, repeated, withdrawn, unsatisfactory, failed, and liquidated coursework are considered attempted but not successfully completed for the purposes of financial aid.

Students who do not meet these criteria may have a term of Warning where financial aid is received, if otherwise eligible. Otherwise, students may appeal their circumstances to receive financial aid or will be Suspended.

More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa.

Return of Title IV/Unofficial Withdrawal (Stopping/Dropping Out): Federal regulations require a student to complete the term for which they were funded. If you have officially or 21

unofficially withdrawn from all of your classes, stopped attending all your classes, or did not successfully complete any of your classes (received all F's), the College is required to calculate how much of the semester you did attend to determine how much of the aid you have "earned." You will be required to pay back the portion of financial aid you did not earn. This is called Return of Title IV, or R2T4.

When the Financial Aid Office calculates the Return to Title IV calculation, we must use the last date of enrollment and/or your last date of academic activity, as reported by your instructors, to determine how much aid you have earned.

This date determines how much, if anything, you must repay if you do not successfully complete any of your courses.

You may not be required to repay your financial aid under these rules if you only drop one or two courses and remain enrolled in at least one financial aid funded course. It is only required when a student is no longer enrolled in or does not pass all courses for a term (A and B terms included).

More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa.

Steps to Financial Aid Please follow the seven steps below to make sure your financial aid is awarded without delay: 1. Complete the FAFSA: You must apply for financial aid each academic year and can apply as early as October 1st.

Critical Enrollment Information Maximum eligibility for funding is based on a full-time enrollment status. However, part-time students are often eligible for financial aid. Financial aid must be calculated by determining a student's enrollment status based only on course work applicable to the student's program of study at Santa Fe College. Enrollment status categories for funding are as follows:

• • • •

Full-time status is 12 credit hours or more.

Three-quarter time status is 9 to 11 credit hours.

Half-time status is 6 to 8 credit hours.

Less than half-time status is 1 to 5 credit hours.

Students who plan to register for less than half-time enrollment status (less than 6 credit hours) should pay close attention to the eligibility requirements for each financial aid program. If you are uncertain about how many credit hours you can successfully complete, work with your Academic Advisor.

Standard Term and Mini-term Enrollment A standard term is 16 weeks long. For example, the standard fall term runs from August to December. The mini-term session occurs within the standard term at an accelerated pace. For example, the fall A mini term runs from August to the middle of October, approximately eight weeks.

Deferred Fees A fee deferment is a charge of fees with the promise to pay at the established deadline. It does not automatically pay your fees; it only delays the payment. Even if your schedule shows a $0.00 balance due that includes the deferment, the fee deferment is based on your estimated available funding and is only a temporary credit until SF receives funds on your behalf. A deferment does not relieve you of the obligation to pay.

If for any reason you do not receive your estimated funding (from financial aid, the VA, or any other source), you are responsible for the tuition and fees for any classes you are enrolled in after the drop with a refund deadline. You will need to "officially" drop your classes before the deadline to not be responsible for tuition and fees.

You will be notified in writing that you have a fee deferment. If the total deferred fees are not paid by the deadline, you will be flagged for a financial obligation to the college with a hold on all records and will be turned over to collections.

Veterans and other persons who are eligible for fee deferments must have the deferment processed by the Cashier's Office by the due date. Tuition for financial aid recipients may be deferred if fees are less than or equal to the amount of projected financial aid for the term. Additional information may be found in the Financial Aid Handbook.

Student Financial Obligations You are responsible for your financial obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, if you are delinquent in satisfying

24

any obligations, you will not be permitted to, register, receive an official transcript for completed course work, diploma, or benefit from other regular college services.

Any student who has paid for course registration fees with a check or e-payment that is dishonored for any reason must make immediate restitution to the college. All returned payments are subject to a returned item fee. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitution is unlikely, the student's registration will be canceled.

Audit Fees Any student in the college may elect to audit a college credit course at the time of registration. You may not switch from credit to audit or from audit to credit after the drop/add period. No credit is granted when the course is completed, nor can any be given at a future date. Audit students pay the same tuition fees, application fees, laboratory fees and special fees as credit students.

Additional College Credit Course Fee An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in a college credit course more than two times. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to 100% of the full cost of instruction.

College Preparatory Course Fee An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in certain College Preparatory courses more than two times.

The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to 100% of the full cost of instruction.

Credit Card Payment (MasterCard, VISA, Discover or American Express) Students may pay fees online. Visit www.sfcollege.edu and click on eSantaFe. Select Finances, then View and Pay Fees and follow the menu options.

Online Payment Students may pay fees online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express), checking account, or savings account. Visit www.sfcollege.edu and click on eSantaFe. Select Finances, then View and Pay Fees and follow the menu options.

Deferred Fees Veterans and other eligible persons who request fee deferments must have the deferment processed by the Cashier's Office by the due date. Tuition for financial aid recipients may be deferred or charged if fees are less than or equal to the amount of projected financial aid for the term. Additional information may be found in the Financial Aid Handbook.

Fee Waivers State of Florida employees, senior citizens, or classroom teachers must register on the last day of drop/add for any term/session if they wish to use a fee waiver for that term/session. Any registrations prior to this date will not be eligible for a fee waiver.

Social Security Students should direct inquiries related to Social Security benefits to their local Social Security office. SF's Office of the Registrar will certify student enrollment for the Social Security Administration. Educational benefits are awarded through the Social Security office.

Academic Advisement Associate in Arts Degree Advisement For students planning to transfer to one of Florida's state universities, the Associate in Arts (AA) degree is the transferable degree. The AA degree contains the General Education portion (lower division) of the bachelor's degree.

Therefore, a student can only earn one AA degree.

Advisors assist AA students with planning their programs of study for transfer to a four-year university. Students wishing to transfer should also obtain additional academic advisement from the upper division school to which they expect to apply.

25

All students must view their degree audit via eSantaFe each semester and are encouraged to meet with an advisor for proper course selection prior to registration.

Advisors are available at the Northwest Campus and at the Blount, Andrews, Watson, Davis, Perry, and Kirkpatrick centers. Service hours may vary by location so students ae encouraged to review each location's advisement page for details.

AA students who meet stated requirements have the right to participate in SF2FAMU, SF2NCF, SF2UNF, SF2USF, SF2UVI or SF2UWF. SF2FAMU provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at Florida A&M University, SF2NCF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at New College of Florida, SF2UNF provides guaranteed admission into the University of North Florida, SF2USF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of South Florida, SF2UVI provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of Virgin Islands and SF2UWF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of West Florida. Visit our website https://www.sfcollege.edu/transfer/guaranteed/ for more information.

Career and Technical Education Advisement Students interested in any of the Career and Technical Education programs, which have selective admission requirements, are urged to contact the appropriate program advisor as early as possible. Admission to the college does not guarantee entry into any program that has selective admission requirements.

Standard high school graduation, a high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state board of education, or HiSET score is required of all applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SF. For information on admissions, please visit our website at www.sfcollege.edu.

The Office of the Registrar - Student Records Academic Objectives and Attendance Santa Fe College is responsible for providing its students with an engaging, learning-centered environment that includes educationally sound, high-quality programs offered in an economical and efficient format. The continuation of students who lack the ability, preparation, or maturity to succeed is inconsistent with the college's mission and its responsibility as a tax-supported institution.

A student's standing at Santa Fe College will be determined by the relationship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in good standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must earn the grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 (C) cumulative grade point average while at Santa Fe. Math Sequence Guideline All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits should register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed credit hours. This does not include HSDE (high school dual enrollment) students, transient students, students registered for one or more EAP courses, and students under warning for SAP or SOAP standards. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss their academic plan.

Academic Standards of Progress To maintain satisfactory academic progress, students must achieve a minimum term grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher each term.

Academic Warning. Any student who does not achieve a GPA of 2.0 or higher in a term will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic warning. In cases where a student maintains an all-college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above, he or she will remain on academic warning if he or she continues to earn a term GPA of below a 2.0. Once a student has been placed on warning, they will be limited to 12 credit hours until they are placed back into good academic standing.

Academic Probation. Any student who fails to achieve an all-college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for 2 consecutive terms will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic probation. Once a student has been placed on probation, they will be limited to 9 credit hours until they are placed back

26

into good academic standing except that the student can take 12 credit hours as long as one of the courses is selected from the following list: SLS1101, SLS1301, SLS1601 or SLS1531.

Academic Suspension. Any student on academic probation who earns less than a 2.0 for his or her all college cumulative GPA and less than a 2.0 term GPA will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic suspension for the following term of enrollment (Fall, Spring, or Summer). Readmission may be granted after the suspended term, and after the student meets with a counselor in the Counseling Center. If permitted to return to Santa Fe College, the student will remain in academic probationary status and must achieve a 2.0 GPA or higher for the term immediately following the suspension.

Academic Dismissal. Any student who does not achieve a term GPA of 2.0 or higher during the term following academic suspension will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic dismissal from the College for one academic year (Fall, Spring, and Summer). Readmission may be granted after the dismissal period, and after the student has met with a counselor in the Counseling Center.

Returning to Good Academic Standing. When a student's all college cumulative GPA is a 2.0 or higher, he or she returns to Good Academic Standing, unless his or her term GPA continues to be below a 2.0 GPA. If the term GPA is above a 2.0 but the all college cumulative GPA remains under, they will remain at their current status until the all college cumulative GPA is above a 2.0.

Educational Interventions. The Counseling Center will provide intervention services to academically 'at risk' students who have been placed on warning, probation, suspension and/or dismissal. Students who are on probation, suspension, or dismissal will be required to meet with a counselor and Counseling Center services will be offered to students who are on warning. The student and counselor will work together to create a success plan to promote better academic performance. Additional educational interventions may be assigned as appropriate.

Transferring to Santa Fe College from Another Institution of Higher Education. All transfer students' transcripts will be evaluated by the College's standards of progress using the same criteria used for non-transfer students. That is, transfer students entering with less than a 2.0 GPA will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e., academic warning or probation.

Earning Credit While Suspended or Dismissed. A student under suspension from another institution may not enroll at Santa Fe College for one semester. A student under suspension from Santa Fe College may not earn credits toward a degree from this institution by taking courses at another institution during the term of suspension.

Provision for Review. Any student who feels there were extraordinary circumstances that led to his or her academic status and would like to request an adjustment to the status criteria (waive credit-hour limits, request early return, etc.), may petition in writing the College Registrar who will forward the petition to the appropriate Associate Vice-President within Academic Affairs, for a final, binding decision.

At the end of the term, final grades are available on eSantaFe at the SF website, www.sfcollege.edu.

Forgiveness Policy: Courses in which a grade of D or F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts marked with a T on the transcript are not included with calculating the cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with an R are included when calculating the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not accept a grade of a repeated course or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Financial Aid office to ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award.

Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X are not included in total grade point averages.

Forgiveness Policy Courses in which a grade of D or F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts marked with a T are not included with calculating the cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with an R are included when calculating the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not accept a grade of a repeated course or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Financial Aid office to ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award.

Fresh Start SF Fresh Start enables students to apply to exclude their academic record prior to a specified date from their cumulative grade point calculations at Santa Fe College. Each student may only be granted Fresh Start once. The excluded portion of the academic record must be at least five years old. Application decisions will be made by the college's Fresh Start Review Committee, and appeals will be reviewed by the Vice President for Student Affairs. The President is authorized to establish procedures related to Fresh Start.

Withdrawals Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or Records Registration Lab (Building R, room 226) up until the official withdrawal date of each term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/session is available in the online calendar and via eSantaFe. A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. An attempt is defined as an enrollment in a course where any grade is assigned, or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be counted as an attempt.

The student will be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon the third attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw and will receive a grade for that course.

Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on a third attempt, a student must pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal to the non-Florida resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted by the college registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full cost of tuition must be requested to the Office of the Registrar no later than one business day prior to the start of the term for which approval is sought. No waivers are granted retroactively.

Official Withdrawal A student may officially withdraw from one or more classes or from the college prior to the late withdrawal deadline.

For information on this process, please visit www.sfcollege.edu.

Petitions for Refunds or Withdrawals The College Petitions Committee reviews and makes decisions on student petitions to adjust records. The committee is

28

composed of SF faculty and staff. Students may petition through the committee to drop a course with refund or to withdraw from a course after the published withdrawal date.

Refunds A student who drops one or more classes during the first five instructional days of fall, spring, or summer full terms, including sessions D or G, or during the first three instructional days of A or B sessions, may receive a full refund of tuition and fees paid for the dropped course work. The deadlines for fee refunds are on the last official day to drop and receive a refund and the dates are, posted on the official college calendar. These refunds are automatically processed without action by students. Refunds are disbursed through BankMobile to the student on behalf of the college. Allow two to four weeks after the deadline to receive your refund.

Refund/Repayment Policy As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1998, a student who completely withdraws may be required to repay a percentage of Title IV Federal Financial Aid funds received.

For specific information about the refund/repayment policy, please visit the Financial Aid website at www.sfcollege.edu or call a financial aid specialist at 352-395-5480.

Dean's List Santa Fe College's Dean's List is an academic distinction used to recognize the highest level of scholarship demonstrated by students who meet eligibility requirements. Students are eligible for the Dean's List in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. To qualify, a student must be enrolled in a Vocational Certificate, Associate's, or Bachelor's degree program, enroll full time, and have a minimum 3.5 grade point average for the semester.

Honors Program The Honors Program fosters academic excellence in Santa Fe College's best, brightest, and most motivated students.

The program provides Honors sections of General Education classes, as well as special elective offerings.

Qualified students are invited to participate in the Honors Program each term. Every Honors course is specially noted on the official SF transcript. Upon completion of the program requirements, students receive an Honors designation on the Associate in Arts degree, special recognition at graduation, and an Honors certificate. In order to graduate from the program with a certificate, students must:

• •

Complete at least 15 hours of Honors course work.

Maintain an overall 3.5 GPA.

Current and transfer students are invited to join the program after meeting the following criteria: 1. A 3.5 academic GPA and a minimum of 12 credit hours in AA degree course work at SF or at another College, and 2. Two faculty recommendations and completion of application; OR 3. Special approval by the Honors Program coordinator.

Dual Enrollment and incoming students with strong high school records and test scores are also accepted. For more information, contact the Honors Program at 352-381-3825.

Individual Study Individual Study credit may satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science degree, at the discretion of the department and provided that no more than three semester hours of credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate in Arts degree, Individual Study may not be used to meet the General Education requirements although it may be used as elective credit.

No more than three semester hours of credit can be applied to any one Individual Study request. An Individual Study may not duplicate any preexisting course in the college curriculum. Forms are available in the offices of the academic chairpersons and academic directors.

The Individual Study outline must be typed. The outline must include objectives, texts and/or materials, meeting times with the designated instructor, and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student's responsibility, rather than the instructor's, to prepare the outline. Individual Study forms must be completed and submitted with the

29

typed outline to the appropriate chairperson or academic director by the first day of the term in which credit is to be awarded. Students must then submit the form to the Office of Curriculum and Scheduling, located in the Robertson Administration Building, room 15, to have the course created. Students will register for Individual Study courses with their copy of the form on or before the last day to add classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual Study credit is awarded and applied to the transcript at the end of the term.

Specialized Group Study Specialized Group Study credits may satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in the areas of Communications/Humanities, Math/Science and Social/Behavioral Sciences, at the discretion of the department provided that no more than three semester hours of such credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate in Arts (AA) degree and the Associate in Science (AS) degrees, however, Specialized Group Study credits may not be used to meet the General Education requirements, although they may be used as elective credits.

Transient Enrollment Santa Fe College students wishing to attend another post-secondary institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe College must obtain permission from SF before enrolling at the other institution. Students should fill out a transient form, seek advisement about courses they wish to take, and have their status at SF certified in the Office of the Registrar before enrolling at another institution. SF students interested in transient enrollment should review the transient process overview information at https://www.sfcollege.edu/advisement/transient-students/.

Graduation Santa Fe College has an Auto-Graduation process. Students will be notified via the college's official notification system of their potential eligibility to graduate and prompted to review and edit their application that will be automatically created. Students will have the ability to review and edit the graduation application continuously until the end of the eligible term. All graduations are final. Students can "Opt Out" of graduation if desired. Students who will be graduating in the summer semester may attend either the spring or fall graduation. Summer applicants who apply by the spring program deadline are included in the spring program. Otherwise, summer graduate names are listed in the fall program.

Reverse Transfer Information: The College is a part of the Statewide Reverse Transfer Articulation Agreement and participates in reverse credit transfer services, through signed agreement with the National Student Clearinghouse.

These agreements facilitate the exchange of transcript information between educational institutions for the purposes of awarding degrees to students who transfer before graduating.

Catalog Year Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements that must be fulfilled for graduation. Students graduate under the catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment at Santa Fe College provided they maintain continuous enrollment. SF defines continuous enrollment as completion of at least one course per semester, without having a break in enrollment lasting three or more consecutive semesters. A "break in enrollment" is as a semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer) in which a student did not register for and complete at least one course. Withdrawals are considered completed courses.

Students who fail to maintain continuous enrollment must reapply for admission, will be subject to all admission requirements in effect at the time of reapplication, and will be assigned the catalog year in effect at the time for the readmission term.

Students who change their degree program will be assigned the catalog year in effect at the time of the program change.

Students may choose to graduate under the requirements of a later catalog, but they must fulfill all graduation requirements from that alternative catalog year. Students interested in this option should consult with an academic advisor. Students will not be permitted to go back and graduate from a previous catalog year.

The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the curriculum requirements appropriate to each student's catalog year. However, courses and programs will sometimes be discontinued, and requirements may change as a result of curricular review or actions by accrediting associations and other agencies.

Digital Badges Starting fall 2022 for the 2022-2023 academic year and thereafter, students who enter Santa Fe College will be awarded 30

a nationally recognized digital badge upon completion of general education core courses that demonstrate career readiness.

Industry Certification Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by industry certification or licensure in some vocational/technical areas.

Matriculated students are required to send a request for articulated credit through Industry Certification to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the completed Application for Articulated Credit through Industry Certification form. The academic departments request verification from the registrar to assure that another institution has not already credited the student for articulated credit. Criteria for granting the articulated credit are determined within each department. Articulated Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps articulated credit forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions.

Application forms for industry certification articulated credit are available from the Academic Advisor for each Career and Technical Program area or upon request at 352.395.3646.

Experiential Learning Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit for previous experience or training in some vocational/technical areas.

Matriculated students are required to submit requests for such credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments verify with the Office of the Registrar that another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined within each department. Experiential credits based on work experience may require a letter from the student's employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions. Applications forms for experiential learning are available from the program office in which credit is being requested.

Fee Waivers 60 Plus Fee Waivers Santa Fe College will waive registration fees (excluding lab fees, materials, technology, or access fees) for individuals who are 60 years of age or older for all credit courses on a space available basis. "Space available" is defined as seats available on the last day of add for the term/session. Waivers will not be processed in cases where the initial registration for the course was prior to that date. Registration using this waiver is limited to "audit" only registrations; classes may not be taken for grade or academic credit. Students must be Florida residents for tuition purposes. No waivers are available for any continuing education courses offered through the Center for Business. For Community Education, registration waivers are available after the pre-registration period ends, and if a class has space available and has covered 125 percent of its operating costs. Some Community Education classes do not offer 60 Plus waivers.

Verification of age by driver's license, birth certificate or voter's registration card must be provided when applying for the waiver.

Classroom Teacher Waivers Full-time classroom teachers employed by a Florida school district, as defined in Florida Statute 1001.02(2)(a), are eligible for a Classroom Teacher Waiver. Courses are limited to undergraduate courses related to special education, mathematics, or science, as approved by the Florida Department of Education. In accordance with F.S. 1009.26(10), the waiver may not be used for courses scheduled during the school district's regular school day. Santa Fe College will waive tuition and fees (excluding lab fees, access fees, or technology fees) for classroom teachers to enroll in up to six credit hours of courses per term on a space available basis (defined as the last date of drop/add). Waivers will not be granted for courses where the initial registration was prior to the last date of drop/add.

Also, proviso language in the General Appropriations Act specifies that state 31

employees must be "full-time" employees. Waivers will not be granted for courses where the initial registration was prior to the last date of drop/add. Eligible employees should bring documentation from their employer to the cashier's office in the Robertson Administration Building, email it to cashier@sfcollege.edu, or fax it to 352-395-5131.

Credit by Examination Credit-By-Exam Equivalencies To view the credit-by-exam equivalencies go to www.fldoe.org/policy/articulation/. For more information, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 352-395-5451.

Section 1007.27(2), Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP), Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams.

The DSST (DANTES) and Excelsior College exam equivalents on the list are not part of that requirement but are authorized by State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024. Public community colleges and universities in Florida are required to award the minimum recommended credit for AP, AICE, IB and CLEP exams as designated.

Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit. Institutions may not award credit for scores below those listed by the ACC. SF students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours of course credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed below; however, a maximum of 30 hours may be awarded for the IB diploma.

Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice. Credit for all exams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Office of Articulation as listed on the chart found at www.fldoe.org/policy/articulation/.

Box 6600 Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6600 609-771-7865, 800-257-9558 www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of examinations developed by the Educational Testing Service that allows students to demonstrate competency in certain subjects and earn college credit for those courses without attending classes. The required levels of performance on the examinations and the specific courses for which credit may be granted are subject to change according to the decisions of a statewide committee.

The CLEP examination may be taken at SF, the University of Florida or any center authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board. The student is responsible for having all scores submitted to the SF Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112). The results are evaluated and recorded on the student's transcript if credit is earned. Transfer students must have all transcripts on file from their previous institutions prior to having CLEP credit awarded. There is no charge for posting credits. Semester hours toward graduation are recorded as "credit by examination" with no grades or quality points given. These credits do not affect a student's grade point average.

Credit for the general and subject examinations may be earned in those areas where students have not already earned academic credit. Credit for the examinations may be earned, provided the student has not already earned credit for the particular course(s) for which Santa Fe could give examination credit. Credit is not awarded for a basic course in areas where advanced course credit has been earned. No examination may be repeated in an attempt to receive credit. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice.

Credit for all exams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed on the chart found at www.fldoe.org/articulation/. For more information, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 352-395-5451.

Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum.

Rather, they are designed to test students' knowledge of a variety of college level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned.

Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE) The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the British system of "A-Levels." Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned.

Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Excelsior College Examinations Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Examination Program) are developed by Excelsior College, using national committees of faculty consultants and national studies to assess how well the tests measure the performance of students in actual college courses. Excelsior College Examinations are approved by the American Council on Education, and Excelsior College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Department Credit by Examination Students wishing to earn course credit by passing a departmental examination should consult the department in which 33

the course is taught. Students may not apply for course credit through an SF Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is available. Students should be aware that SF Credit Examinations may not be offered for certain courses due to the nature of a particular course's content.

Students may not take an examination for credit in a course if they have attempted the course at SF (receiving either an A, B, C, D, F, I or W for work attempted) or if they have earned credit for an advanced course in that area. Decisions about the relevancy of advanced courses will be made by instructors giving the examination. Credit by examination will not be counted in student course loads but will be averaged into student grade point averages. Credit by examination will not be available during the period between official college terms or on official college holidays.

Procedure for SF Department Credit by Examination 1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the offices of academic chairpersons and directors.

2. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chair or director. If the application is approved, the chair or director will explain how the examination will be administered according to current procedures. Depending on the discipline or program area, either individual examination dates for each student or a common examination date for all students will be set each term.

3. Requests are presented to the appropriate chair or director for approval (signature).

4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier's window in the Robertson Administration Building for payment of the $30 examination fee.

5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area examiner indicated in step two above.

6. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner will forward the results (application) to the appropriate office and will also telephone that office to verify the test grade. The completed examination will be placed in the division's Credit by Examination file for the discipline or program area.

7. Students must then return to the office where the application was made, pick up a copy of the signed form and take it to the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for final recording. Students must allow one week after completion of the examination before picking up the copy from the appropriate office.

Excess Credit Hour Surcharge All students whose educational plan may include earning a baccalaureate degree should make every effort to enroll in and successfully complete those courses that are required for their intended major on their first attempt. Florida college students intending to transfer to a state university should identify a major or "transfer program" early and be advised of admission requirements for that program, including the approved common prerequisites. Course withdrawals and/or repeats, as well as enrollment in courses nonessential to the intended major, may contribute to a potential excess hour's surcharge. Students who may exceed the required credit hours upon transferring to a university should see their academic advisor to plan accordingly.

Section 1009.286, Florida Statutes, establishes an "excess hour" surcharge for a student seeking a baccalaureate degree at a state university. It is critical that students, including those entering Florida colleges, are aware of the potential for additional course fees. "Excess hours" are defined as hours that go beyond 120% of the hours required for a baccalaureate degree program. For example, if the length of the program is 120 credit hours, the student may be subject to an excess hour surcharge for any credits attempted beyond 144 credit hours (120% x 120).

The table below outlines how the Excess Credit Hour Surcharge is calculated.

If the student:

...Then excess credit hour ...And the charge applies to excess any credits taken surcharge is: above:

For Example:

For a degree program that requires 120 semester hours, the excess credit-hour surcharge would apply to any credits taken above 144 semester hours (120% of 120).

The student's total charge would be calculated by adding current tuition and fees plus an additional 50% of the current tuition.

For a degree program that requires 120 semester hours, Began college as an An additional the excess credit-hour surcharge would apply to any 115% of the undergraduate between 100% of the credits taken above 138 semester hours (115% of 120). required credit fall 2011 and summer current tuition The student's total charge would be calculated by adding hours 2012 rate current tuition and fees plus an additional 100% of the current tuition.

Most college credit hours will count towards the calculation of excess credit hours. This includes failed courses, courses dropped after the end of the advertised drop and add period, withdrawals, repeats, and transfer credits earned at another institution. Note, however, the following credits will not count toward the calculation of excess credit hours: credits earned through an articulated accelerated programs (i.e. dual enrollment, AP, IB, AICE); withdrawals due to medical or personal hardship; credit hours required for certification, recertification or certificate programs; credit hours taken by active-duty military personnel; credit hours required to achieve a dual degree or double major taken while pursuing a baccalaureate degree; developmental courses and English as a second language credit hours; credit hours earned through internships; and credit hours earned in military science courses that are part of the ROTC program.

Began college as an 120% of the undergraduate between required credit fall 2009 and summer hours 2011

An additional 50% of the current tuition rate

Family and Student Educational Rights (FERPA) In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Florida Statutes (Privacy Rights of Parents and Students), the college has identified as "Directory Information" a student's name, local address, telephone number, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. This information may be released without student's consent.

Other personally identifiable and student record information can be released only when a written authorization, signed by the student, and witnessed by a college official or notary, is presented to the college.

Any student who does not want directory information released must file a directory information exclusion request with the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112).

Parents or guardians desiring access to the educational records of a student who is their dependent should ask the student to grant permission in writing or via eSantaFe to the college, via the Student Authorization for Access to Educational Records form. Without written permission from the student, the parents or guardians must certify in writing to the Office of the Registrar that the student is economically dependent upon them as defined by Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and must document this dependency by providing an IRS Tax Transcript of the previous year's income tax return.

Student Rights and Responsibilities The purpose of this document is to provide students with a general overview of both their rights and responsibilities as members of the Santa Fe College community. This list of student rights and responsibilities was developed using various documents that mandate College policies, rules, and procedures. This document is not intended to create new or additional rights or responsibilities or to supersede or supplement existing rules and procedures, but merely to serve as a helpful guide for students. In the event a rule or procedure is modified, the terms of that rule or procedure will govern the students' rights and responsibilities rather than this summary document.

Academic Standards of Progress. Students have the right to be informed about academic standards of progress. To be considered in good standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must achieve a minimum term grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher each term. Students not meeting this requirement may be placed on Academic Warning, Academic Probation, Academic Suspension or Academic Dismissal. Students who do not meet the requirements for academic progress are notified of their academic standing via the college's official notification system.

Upon transferring to a state university, AA degree graduates will be awarded at least 60 credit hours towards the baccalaureate degree. The university catalog in effect the year the AA degree student first enrolled at the college will remain in effect for the student's program, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment as defined in that catalog. Once a student has completed the General Education Core and this is so noted on the transcript, regardless of whether or not an AA degree is awarded, no other state university or community college to which the student may transfer can require additional courses to the general education core. When transferring among institutions participating in the Statewide Course Numbering System, a receiving institution must accept all courses taken at the transfer institution if the same course with the same course number is offered at the receiving institution. Credits earned through acceleration mechanisms (e.g. College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate, and Dual Enrollment courses) within the AA degree at the community college will be transferable to the state university.

Harassment. Harassment is a type of discrimination. Although sexual harassment is addressed more specifically in College Rule 2.8, harassment generally is covered under the policy if: 1) it is based upon race, ethnicity, national origin, color, religion, age, disability, sex, pregnancy status, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, political opinions or affiliations, or veteran status; and 2) such conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it interferes with or limits a person's ability to participate in or benefit from SF's education or work programs or activities (also called hostile environment harassment). Harassing conduct may take various forms, including verbal, non-verbal, graphic, or written statements (including the use of cell phones or the Internet), or other physical conduct that may be threatening, harmful, or humiliating. Whether the conduct creates a hostile environment may depend on a variety of factors, including: the degree to which the conduct affected one or more person's education or employment; the type, frequency, and duration of the conduct; the relationship between the parties; the number of people involved; and the context in which the conduct occurred. Harassment does not have to include intent to harm, be directed at a specific target, or involve repeated incidents. College community members are encouraged to not wait to report conduct of concern until harassment becomes sufficiently serious (i.e., severe, pervasive, or persistent) to create a hostile environment. The Equity Officer/Title IX Coordinator and other College officials can take proactive steps to prevent harassment from continuing or escalating and to protect or otherwise assist the person harassed. The Equity Officer/Title IX Coordinator can help identify conduct that might be a warning sign of or constitute hostile environment harassment prohibited by this policy and address any concerns or complaints appropriately. The College's Title IX Coordinator/Equity Officer can be reached at 3000 NW 83rd Street, R-Annex, Room 113 Gainesville, Florida 32606 352-395-5950 or equity.officer@sfcollege.edu.

Florida's Statewide Course Numbering System (Section 1007.24, Florida Statutes) Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida's Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS). This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by participating nonpublic institutions. The major purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions. Students and administrators can use the online SCNS to obtain course descriptions and specific information about course transfer between participating Florida institutions. This information is at the SCNS website at https://flscns.fldoe.org/.

Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of the course number to indicate the level at which students normally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits of the course numbers are assigned by members of faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the Florida Department of Education in Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve on these committees are selected to maintain a representative balance as to type of institution and discipline field or specialization.

The course prefix and each digit in the course number have a meaning in the SCNS. The listing of prefixes and associated courses is referred to as the "SCNS taxonomy." Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as "statewide course profiles."

No laboratory component in this course

General Rule for Course Equivalencies Equivalent courses at different institutions are identified by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course number and are guaranteed to be transferable between participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions, as listed below in Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency.

For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 84 different public and nonpublic postsecondary institutions. Each institution uses "ENC_101" to identify its freshman composition skills course. The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which students normally take the course at a specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, "ENC" means "English Composition," the century digit "1" represents "Freshman Composition," the decade digit "0" represents "Freshman Composition Skills," and the unit digit "1" represents "Freshman Composition Skills I." In the sciences and certain other areas, a "C" or "L" after the course number is known as a lab indicator. The "C" represents a combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in the same place at the same time. The "L" represents a laboratory course or the laboratory part of a course that has the same prefix and course number but meets at a different time or place.

Transfer of any successfully completed course from one participating institution to another is guaranteed in cases where the course to be transferred is equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution. Equivalencies are established by the same prefix and last three digits and comparable faculty credentials at both institutions. For example, ENC 1101 is offered at a community college. The same course is offered at a state university as ENC 2101. A student who has successfully completed ENC 1101 at a Florida College System institution is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for

54

ENC 2101 at the state university if the student transfers. The student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 again since ENC 1101 is equivalent to ENC 2101. Transfer credit must be awarded for successfully completed equivalent courses and used by the receiving institution to determine satisfaction of requirements by transfer students on the same basis as credit awarded to the native students. It is the prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed that have not been designated as equivalent. NOTE: Credit generated at institutions on the quarter-term system may not transfer the equivalent number of credits to institutions on the semester-term system. For example, 4.0 quarter hours often transfers as 2.67 semester hours.

The Course Prefix The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategory of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned prefix to identify the course.

Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states: Any student who transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and that participate in the statewide course numbering system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course numbering system faculty committees representing school districts, public postsecondary educational institutions, and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions to be academically equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution, including equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control of the previous institution. The Department of Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution are generated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those required by the accrediting association of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the statewide course numbering system. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credits awarded to native students.

Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency Since the initial implementation of the SCNS, specific disciplines or types of courses have been excepted from the guarantee of transfer for equivalent courses. These include courses that must be evaluated individually or courses in which the student must be evaluated for mastery of skill and technique. The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution.

1. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.

2. For courses at nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question.

3. Courses in the _900-999 series are not automatically transferable and must be evaluated individually. These include such courses as Special Topics, Internships, Apprenticeships, Practica, Study Abroad, Theses, and Dissertations.

4. Applied academics for adult education courses.

5. Graduate courses.

6. Internships, apprenticeships, practica, clinical experiences, and study abroad courses with numbers other than those ranging from 900-999.

7. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance, Interior Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills courses in Criminal Justice (academy certificate courses) are not guaranteed as transferable. These courses need evidence of achievement (e.g., portfolio, audition, interview, etc.).

Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions The SCNS makes available on its home page (https://flscns.fldoe.org/) a report entitled "Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions" that contains a comprehensive listing of all nonpublic institution courses in the SCNS inventory, as well as each course's transfer level and transfer effective date. This report is updated monthly.

Questions about the SCNS and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should be directed to Korona Skipper in the Office of Institutional Research or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling the SCNS office at (850) 245-0427 or at https://www.fldoe.org/contact-us/.

Students are strongly recommended to enroll in College Composition (ENC 1101) immediately after they complete College Preparatory reading and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to enroll in MAT 1033 after they complete MAT 0022 or MAT 0028.

Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in each College Preparatory course. Withdrawal from a College Preparatory course after the last day to drop and receive a refund will count as an attempt. Since the state will fund only two College Preparatory attempts, students will pay the full tuition cost for the third attempt, which is equivalent to outof-state tuition.

Grades earned in Development Education courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the students' GPAs and will be included in the calculation of Standards of Academic Progress (SOAP).

English as a Second Language (ESL) English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Non-native speakers of English who place into College Preparatory reading and English are required to register for the ESL (EAP) College Preparatory courses. The courses in this program integrate reading, writing, listening and speaking activities to prepare non-native speakers of English for college level work.

57

Associate in Arts (AA) Degree The college offers the Associate in Arts degree to students wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate program within the Florida College or Florida State University systems upon completing an Associate degree.

In keeping with the Florida statewide articulation agreement, a portion of the general education requirements are determined by the state and each institution determines a portion of its own general education requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours required for the degree.

Although the Associate in Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised early in their academic careers to be aware of the upper-division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within the required general education core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition, the Associate in Arts degree requires 24 hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to the upper division. Although the college will make every attempt to advise students concerning upper-division requirements for the various majors, students are urged to become familiar with the requirements of the upper-division institutions to which they plan to transfer.

Students must select an intended transfer major by the time they complete 24 college credit hours. With the help of their advisors, students should choose electives that will be most advantageous in the pursuit of their intended bachelor's degrees. Each upper-division program in a Florida public state institution annually publishes counseling manuals for every major offered at that institution.

Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree

• • • • • • • •

Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the general education program.

•

Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.

Complete at least 60 semester hours of credit in a prescribed course of study with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.

Demonstrate competency in a foreign language.

Demonstrate competency in civics literacy.

Meet Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon Rule). Courses marked with an asterisk (*) will meet a portion of this rule.

Select courses from those with an assigned ID code of P (Parallel). Courses designated O (Occupational) are not guaranteed for acceptance by upper-division institutions and cannot be used as elective credit in the AA degree.

General Education The purpose of general education at Santa Fe College is to foster a disciplined curiosity that leads to empowerment of the student as an intentional learner and to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. By exploring many aspects of the traditional arts and sciences, students will learn about the human imagination and the products of cultural history and expression, the interrelationships within and among social and global communities, models that help to understand the patterns and behaviors of the natural world and social structures, and the values essential to local or global civic engagement. Specifically, students will encounter these ideas through courses in the sciences, mathematics, communications, the social sciences, and the arts and humanities.

While exploring these disciplines, students will also develop the college-level skills in communication, critical thinking, information literacy, scientific and quantitative reasoning, and global responsibility necessary for lifelong learning, whether it be within the academy or in the professional world. In this way, the College seeks not only to instill knowledge, but also to integrate skills and knowledge within the context of cultural and professional competencies.

By design, this practical liberal education is highly concentrated within the core of required arts and sciences courses, we expect that students will find the knowledge and skills from these courses are reinforced in many areas of the curriculum, including elective courses, vocational courses, and a variety of capstone learning experiences that interrelate principle and application.

General Education Learning Outcomes Each general education course at Santa Fe is expected to address one of six learning outcomes. The table below describes these six outcomes and the competencies associated with them in greater detail.

•

Communication o Written Communication. Written communication is the development and expression of ideas in writing. Written communication involves learning to work in many genres and styles. It can involve

58

o

working with many different writing technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Written communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.

Oral communication. Oral communication is a prepared, purposeful presentation designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change in the listeners' attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors.

•

Critical Thinking Critical thinking is a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion.

•

Scientific Reasoning Understanding scientific concepts and reasoning and analyzing and interpreting various types of scientific data. The current definition of scientific reasoning is based on a description by the American Association for Higher Education and Accreditation whereby scientific reasoning is divided into the reductionist and integrative approaches to the understanding and improvement of student learning.

•

Quantitative Reasoning Is a "habit of mind," competency, and comfort in working with numerical data.

Individuals with strong QL skills possess the ability to reason and solve quantitative problems from a wide array of authentic contexts and everyday life situations. They understand and can create sophisticated arguments supported by quantitative evidence and they can clearly communicate those arguments in a variety of formats (using words, tables, graphs, mathematical equations, etc., as appropriate).

Civics Literacy Requirements Students starting in the Florida College or University System in the 2021-2022 school year and thereafter must demonstrate competency in civics literacy by achieving a passing score on an assessment and by successfully completing a civics literacy course (AMH2020 or POS2041).

Foreign Language Competency Beginning with students entering in the Fall 2014 semester, all students must demonstrate competency in a foreign language as a requirement for the Associate in Arts degree. This requirement may be met in one of the following ways: completing two sequential credits of secondary (high school) instruction in one foreign language; completing a postsecondary foreign language course at the elementary 2 level (the second course in a foreign language sequence); or achieving an appropriate score on the CLEP, AP, or other standard examination, which may earn up to eight credits from the College. A student who demonstrates proficiency in a native language other than English is exempt from this requirement, though the College may specify conditions or requirements for the documentation of such competency in less commonly taught languages.

Currently, Santa Fe College offers classes in American Sign Language, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish and may offer other languages as well. Through an agreement between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida, SF students may also be able to register for foreign languages not offered at Santa Fe on a space available basis. For more information about languages offered at UF, please contact the Department of Humanities and Foreign Languages, Building P, room 152, or call 352-395-5075.

Math Sequence Guideline All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits should register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed credit hours. This does not include HSDE (high school dual enrollment) students, transient students, students registered for one or more EAP courses, and students under warning for SAP or SOAP standards. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss their academic plan Writing Intensive Courses The purpose of the Writing-Intensive requirement at Santa Fe College is to assist students refine their college-level writing skills. College-level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills in discussing a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appropriate diction, conventions, and rhetorical strategies.

A Writing-Intensive Course has as major instructional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial discipline-based writing component. This requires multiple opportunities for students to (1) demonstrate disciplined-based writing competency (2) receive appropriate feedback and (3) to incorporate that feedback into assignments within the same course and semester. Note that any work submitted too late in the semester for the instructor comments to be available to the students cannot be used to meet the writing-intensive requirement. While no specific word-count is required writing must be a central component of the course.

Individual LAS Departments will be responsible for identifying appropriate types of "disciplined-based writing" assignments and providing any additional guidelines for writing intensive courses in the discipline. However, some assignments are unlikely to be suitable for these purposes. For example, teamwork or writing done by a group or team and class notes are unlikely to satisfy the requirement.

In a Writing-Intensive Course, writing assignments must count for a significant part of the final course grade. The majority of writing assignments are assessed by faculty towards refining college level writing skills. Instructors must evaluate written work on its content and content development (i.e., effectiveness, organization, clarity, and coherence of the writing). General comments about syntax, mechanics, and usage of standard written English should also be provided, including if necessary, reference to the Learning Commons or other relevant available resources. Instructors must provide feedback to the student on the written work submitted. Rubrics are available for faculty use in providing feedback.

In order to receive credit for a writing intensive course, students must satisfactorily complete the writing portion of a Writing-Intensive Course and receive an overall grade of C or higher. If a student does not receive a C AND satisfactorily complete the writing portion of the course, a course grade of D or below will be assigned. A grade of D or D+ will allow the course to count as an elective, but neither Writing Intensive nor General Education credit will be given.

Apprenticeship Programs "Earn while you learn" is the philosophy of Santa Fe College's Apprenticeship Program. The construction industry needs electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and A/C and heating technicians. Because of this demand, worlds of opportunity open to those who learn a valuable trade through one of these apprenticeships. Expect to earn a good salary while working up to the level of journeyperson.

Apprenticeships provide the individual who is working in the field an opportunity to learn the technical aspects of a trade in the classroom while applying this knowledge on the job. The combination of these two aspects prepares the apprentice to advance through the trade at an accelerated rate. Apprentices earn a guaranteed wage throughout the training with incremental raises at various stages in the program.

Students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. The length of most of the programs is four years except for carpentry, which is two years. Classroom activities in conjunction with on-the-job training prepare the students to perform as tradespersons upon completion. Students not currently employed in the field will be helped in seeking employment with sponsoring contractors. The program is sponsored by the Builders Association of North Central Florida. For more information, call Justin MacDougall at 352-395-5251 or email justin.a.macdougall@sfcollege.edu.

New trainees for all apprenticeship programs must first complete the core curriculum, which provides a basic introduction to construction skills and covers the following:

• • • • • • •

Basic Safety (OSHA 10) Introduction to Construction Mathematics Introduction to Hand Tools Introduction to Power Tools Introduction to Blueprints Basic Riggings Material Handling

Automotive Service Management Technology, AAS Program Code: 2604 The Santa Fe College AAS degree in Automotive Service Management Technology is a two-year program designed to upgrade the technical competence and the professional level of the incoming technician. The curriculum is designed by the college in cooperation with local dealership personnel and independent repair facility owners.

The program involves not only classroom lectures and laboratory experiences on modern vehicles and components at the college, but also requires the student to work at a local dealership or independent repair facility. The program is unique in design and is divided between specific periods of on-campus study and training followed by an equal amount of work experience at the sponsoring agency. For example, the first semester involves eight weeks of classroom and lab time on campus followed by eight weeks of work experience time. Then the student returns to Santa Fe for eight weeks of study in another specialized area followed by eight weeks of related work experience. This rotation continues until the two-year program is completed. The cooperative work experience is a paid experience, and the work time can be credited toward the ASE certification work experience requirement.

The automotive industry has become an exciting and challenging field with the advent of advanced electronic control systems. This program is designed to raise the skill level of the potential automotive technician to beyond that of general automotive training programs. Although the program requires much effort and dedication on the part of the student, the rewards awaiting the program completer are well worth the time and effort.

Respiratory Care, AS Program Code: 3310 Respiratory Care is a specialty that is instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and preventive care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may suffer from a variety of acute and chronic respiratory conditions which may be life threatening or disabling, such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema, emphysema, congenital defects, drowning, hemorrhage, shock, and trauma. Through proper respiratory care and management, many patients who might not have survived can now return to active lives.

The respiratory therapist is a life-support specialist. During emergency calls, which often are life or death situations, respiratory therapists are responsible for life support of the patient through airway management, artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage, and additional sophisticated emergency support measures. Respiratory therapists manage mechanical ventilators (machines that can provide all of the breathing for patients who can't breathe on their own).

Respiratory therapists must be proficient in many areas, including the administration of oxygen and therapeutic aerosols, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary function studies, blood gas retrieval and analysis and physiologic monitoring.

134

The Respiratory care Program at Santa Fe College (#200215) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www.coarc.com) to award an Associate in Science Degree in Respiratory Care at its Northwest Campus. Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care 264 Precision Blvd., Telford, TN, (817) 283-2835.

The program prepares its graduates to take virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory Care, and also provides a sound technical and theoretical base from which the student can have the educational advantage of lateral and upward mobility.

Surgical Technology, Certificate Program Code: 7338 The Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a key member of the surgical team who anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges in an efficient manner during surgery. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST may be involved in holding retractors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the operative site, or cutting suture material.

The surgical technologist must perform under pressure in stressful and emergency situations; have a strong sense of responsibility, considerable patience, manual dexterity, and physical stamina. CSTs ensure that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound, suturing and other technical functions.

Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulatory care centers. There are also jobs in medical sales, product development, and management roles in surgical services and research. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons as "private scrubs" and/or surgical first assistants.

The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Committee on Surgical Technology Education. Graduates are qualified to take the NBSTSA National Certification Examination. Achieving the CST credential is crucial for professional recognition and advancement.

Law Enforcement Officer, Certificate Program Code: 7702 The Law Enforcement Officer basic recruit training program-known commonly as the police academy-prepares students for a career in law enforcement to protect the lives and property of fellow citizens. Law enforcement officers patrol the community, investigate crimes, and prepare cases for prosecution. For those seeking dual certifications, the Institute of Public Safety also offers a law enforcement officer to correctional officer certification.

The law enforcement academy at the Institute of Public Safety is fast-paced and highly structured, consisting of a curriculum developed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The program spans two semesters at 770 contact hours and runs 40 hours per week.

We have found that the use of these aids greatly enhances mental and physical cognition as students prepare for their new profession. Finally, the program culminates in a crucible known as scenario weekend, where students demonstrate their newly acquired skills during reality-based training scenarios.

The program is presented in one of the most innovative and high-tech facilities in the nation and covers a broad range of academic and hands-on training that qualifies students to take the state certification exam from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's (FDLE) Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC).

The Paramedic Program is a college credit certificate program, which is three semesters, 43-credit hours (minimum of 1100 clock hours) in length (one year). Current Florida certification as an emergency medical technician is required prior to applying for entry into the Paramedic Program. The Program typically begins in January and August of each year and requires a special application and acceptance process.

Paramedics utilize advanced medical skills combined with the skills learned in EMT to render care in a variety of situations and settings. A paramedic is a member of the healthcare team that provides advanced life support to save lives jeopardized by trauma, cardiac events, or other illnesses. Paramedics often make critical patient care decisions in situations where seconds and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Paramedics often are called upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, and function under stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build.

Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students may be eligible to take a certification exam offered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians.

Prerequisites to the program are: Current Florida EMT Certification, completion of BSC-2085 Anatomy and Physiology with lab (or equivalent course and lab) with grades of "C" or higher," and American Heart Association healthcare provider CPR or its equivalent. *Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semester Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC 2085 / BSC 2085L and BSC 2086 / BSC 2086L).
