Notice of Equal Access/Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination

Santa Fe College is committed to an environment that embraces diversity, respects the rights of all individuals, is open and accessible, and is free of harassment and discrimination based on, but not limited to, ethnicity, race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, marital status, national origin, political opinions or affiliations, veteran status, and genetic information.

The College does not discriminate in its programs and activities, including employment and admissions.

In particular, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. § 1681) is an all-encompassing federal law that prohibits discrimination based on the sex of students, employees, and third parties when appropriate, of educational institutions which receive federal financial assistance. Sexual harassment of students, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. Santa Fe College complies with all aspects of this and other federal and state laws regarding non-discrimination.

Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 protects applicants and employees from discrimination based on genetic information in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment. GINA also restricts employers’ acquisition of genetic information and strictly limits disclosure of genetic information. Genetic information includes information about genetic tests of applicants, employees, or their family members; the manifestation of diseases or disorders in family members (family medical history); and requests for or receipt of genetic services by applicants, employees, or their family members.

Anyone with questions about compliance or a complaint regarding harassment or discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual violence as a violation of Title IX, should contact the College’s Equal Access/Equal Opportunity Coordinator using the following contact information: Lela Frye, Equal Access/Equal Opportunity Coordinator 3000 NW 83rd Street, R-Annex, Room 105, Gainesville, Florida 32606 (352) 395-5420 lela.frye@sfcollege.edu Santa Fe College’s Board Rule 2.8 and procedure 2.8P define its policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment and its grievance procedures for such complaints.

The President’s Message

District Board of Trustees

Y

ou chose well by deciding to consider Santa Fe College. We have consistently been ranked among the top colleges nationally for the number of degrees awarded. The primary reason for our success is your talent and determination.

Students choose SF because we offer courses that you want, those courses are of the highest quality, and all our support services are dedicated to helping you through college to graduation day.

We keep good company. Our best partner is the University of Florida. We share numerous programs and activities with UF. These are reasons why SF sends more students to UF than any other institution.

SF students are successful at UF, and elsewhere, because their talent and determination are matched by our professors. Classes are small so you learn the subject being taught and meet other students. Our professors are dedicated to teaching and see each student – you – as a unique individual.

Santa Fe is a charter member of the prestigious League for Innovation in the Community College, an international association of more than 750 leading institutions. We offer more than 90 career and technical education programs to meet your needs and those of employers today and tomorrow. Education at SF is rewarding and enjoyable.

I am proud of Santa Fe College. More important to me is that I want you to be proud of the complete college experience you’ll receive here and your diploma once you graduate.

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.

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.

Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe College was authorized by the state of Florida in 2009 to offer baccalaureate degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. At that time the college changed its name to Santa Fe College.

SF has had only four presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was president from 1965 to 1971, when he was succeeded by Alan J. Robertson. Dr. Larry W. Tyree was named president in 1990 and was succeeded in 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.

College Academics

The college’s educational offerings include the Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Continuing and Community Education programs.

The Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students in this program intend to transfer to a four-year college or universitiy. 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.

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

Career and Technical Education consists generally of A.S., A.A.S. 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.

College Centers

SF offers a variety of educational options through its seven different sites conveniently located throughout Alachua and Bradford counties.

Andrews Center SF’s Andrews Center in Starke provides the citizens of Bradford and nearby counties an opportunity to gain a college education close to home. Classrooms are housed in the historic Starke courthouse and two additional educational buildings. The center provides a dual enrollment program for Bradford County High School students to earn college credit while still in high school, allowing them to jump-start their college education.

The Andrews Center also houses continuing and community education classes, the Eugene L. Matthews Historical Museum, and a performance venue that provides enhanced educational and cultural opportunities for all citizens of Bradford and nearby counties. The center is an integral part of Starke’s downtown redevelopment and restoration.

Blount Center SF’s Blount Center is in the heart of downtown Gainesville, convenient to both the east and west sides of the city. Day and night courses allow students to take a class during lunch break or after work, including prerequisites for SF’s health sciences programs or classes for a University of Florida requirement.

12

sfcollege.edu

The Blount Center serves as an outreach and educational facility for citizens in central Gainesville; delivers training programs for business, industry, and employees of city and county government; and provides free meeting rooms for civic, business and professional groups and underserved populations.

Adjacent to the Blount Center is SF’s Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED). The college is dedicated to regional economic development. The CIED custom designs short, long and “eLearning” online courses for professionals, businesses, industries and governments, and offers incubator services that enable new businesses to establish themselves.

Davis Center SF’s Davis Center provides a gateway to college nearby for the residents of Archer and the southwestern part of Alachua County. The educational building includes general classrooms, a computer lab, ITV classroom, offices, and a community/common meeting room.

Students receive help with admission, registration, testing, advisement and financial aid applications. In addition to college classes the Davis Center offers high school dual enrollment, GED/Adult Education, and community education.

Institute of Public Safety SF’s Institute of Public Safety (IPS) is located at the Kirkpatrick Center in northeast Gainesville. IPS houses the Police/Corrections Academy, Criminal Justice Selection Center, Emergency Medical Services and Fire Science Programs, and an Aviation program. IPS also provides advanced and specialized law enforcement and corrections courses.

Courses at the institute vary and may lead to employment upon completion, certification and professional advancement, or a two-year Associate degree.

Northwest Campus The main SF campus is located in northwest Gainesville adjacent to I-75. The campus is home to Admissions, Administration and Financial Aid offices, as well as academic, student and athletic centers.

Highlights of the Northwest Campus include the Perry Construction Institute, a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered building; a University of Florida/Santa Fe College Learning Center and study lounge; and the Fine Arts Hall, a state-of-the-art performance and educational center.

Perry Center for Emerging Technologies Santa Fe College’s Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua is focused on giving students handson experience in a state-of-the-art laboratory environment to prepare students for careers in the rapidly expanding world of laboratory science.

Programs Include: • Biotechnology Laboratory Technology • Biomedical Engineering Technology • Clinical Laboratory Science • An expanding General Education curriculum If you already have the education but never received the practical laboratory experience, or are just getting started in your education, SF’s Perry Center is a convenient choice.

Watson Center Santa Fe College’s Watson Center in Keystone Heights offers all of the classes needed to earn an associate’s degree.

If attending a four-year university is your goal, the Watson Center has the resources to prepare you to transfer as a junior into several different programs. Having many of the county’s public services on campus means convenience few other schools can offer.

If your interest lies in the sciences, the Watson Center has a state-of-the-art organic chemistry lab. As the campus includes a native Florida sand hill ecosystem, you can study the world—both in the lab and in the natural environment—without leaving the beautiful 43-acre campus. The Watson Center weather station serves as a data provider for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The Watson Center offers: • College Preparatory classes in reading, writing and math • General Education classes required for associate of arts and associate of science degrees • Day and night classes • Community and Continuing Education classes Open Campus (Online Courses) SF’s online classes in Open Campus enable students to continue their education while still managing a job, family, or other classes. The academic calendar is the same as for traditionally delivered classes, but you can set your daily work schedule by connecting to course materials and activities when it is convenient.

The number of online courses available at SF increases almost every semester. Currently there are many programs, ranging from certificates to baccalaureate degrees that can be completed by taking only online classes. SF students can also pursue the B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Florida.

These students are not eligible for most forms of financial aid.

• Early admission students will be accepted only from the college district upon the recommendation of the Alachua or Bradford County School Boards in accordance with the regulations set by those organizations.

• Alachua or Bradford County senior high school students are permitted to enroll in individual credit courses on recommendation of their high school principals.

Write Santa Fe College, 3000 NW 83rd Street, Gainesville, Florida 32606; visit our website at www.sfcollege.edu; visit our office on the Northwest Campus in Building R, room 101, askSantaFe, or call 352-395-7322 or 352-395-5000.

Campus Tours

Campus tours are offered through the Office at Admissions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day, excluding college holidays and weekend. Please schedule your campus tour at www.sfcollege/admissions/.

New Student Orientation

Attending New Student Orientation is one of the most vital things you will do to get started on the right foot in college.

Orientation is where you’ll meet other new students, learn about College policies and procedures, talk with an academic advisor, and register for courses. Students are required to attend New Student Orientation upon completion of the placement testing requirement. On-campus New Student Orientation is mandatory for all First-time-in college in-district (Alachua or Bradford County). Students who are out-of-district or transfer students may attend Orientation online.

Assessment and Placement

The placement testing requirement is intended to provide the college with an indication of a student’s abilities in terms of communication and computation at the college level.

For information on admissions qualifications and required testing using the Florida’s Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT), please consult our website at www.sfcollege.edu.

Students whose placement test scores are below college level will enroll in College Preparatory courses. These courses will earn credits, but will not be counted toward meeting the required or elective credits necessary for the Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Arts degree.

Students who present scores on the SAT or E-ACT that meet or exceed college level placement scores may be exempted from taking the Florida’s Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT), provided the scores are less than two years old.

ALL first-time-in-college (freshmen) A.A.-degree seeking students who are exempted from taking the PERT based on their ACT or SAT scores will be required to take the College Level Math (CLM) portion of the CPT to determine proper mathematics placement.

Students who score below the designated state cut-scores are required to develop college level skills and are encouraged to do so before they enroll in college level courses. Students whose native language is not English may have additional testing requirements.

The goal of this federal program is to increase the college retention and graduation rates of participants and ease the transition process from one level of higher education to the next.

Services include one-on-one tutoring; academic, financial and personal counseling; help in securing admission and financial aid for enrollment in four-year institutions and information about career options and mentoring.

To receive assistance, students must be enrolled in AA program with plans to transition to a four year school. Only first generation, low-income students, and students with disabilities with an academic need are eligible to participate in the program. The program office is located on the Northwest Campus. For more information call 352-395-5262 or see the SSS website at http://www.sfcollege.edu.

3. Upward Bound The Upward Bound (UB) program is a federally funded program that prepares select students from Newberry and Bradford High Schools to compete successfully for college level education opportunities.

The program offers tutorial instruction in core academic areas as well as standardized test preparation and also provides financial literacy workshops, career and academic counseling and exposure to social and cultural activities. UB also sponsors a six-week, non-residential summer enrichment program that focuses on students’ class prep for the upcoming academic school year. Students must meet federal eligibility criteria set by the U.S. Department of Education. The program office is located on the Northwest Campus. For more information call 352-395-7357 or see the Upward Bound website at http://www. sfcollege.edu.

Financial Aid

What is Financial Aid? Financial aid is money provided to assist you in meeting college costs. Federal, state and institutional funding are three sources of financial aid. Different types of financial aid include grants, scholarships, work-study and loans.

Important If you withdraw from any or all of your classes, you may have to repay some federal aid. We strongly recommend checking with the Financial Aid office in R-122 before withdrawing from a class.

Who Should Apply?

Most financial aid programs require financial need and are based on family income. However, in addition to need, you must meet the following criteria: • You must be accepted as a degree-seeking student in an A.A. degree or A.S. career program, or certificate–seeking in a financial aid eligible vocational training program.

• You must be a U.S. Citizen, 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 GED certificate.

• You must have Satisfactory Academic Standards (see SAP section below).

Where to Get Help If you have a question or need help with any part of the financial aid process, visit the Financial Aid Office in R-122. We are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. You can email us at financial.aid@sfcollege.edu or call 352-395-5480.

Steps to Financial Aid

Please follow the five steps below to make sure your financial aid is awarded without delay: 1. You must apply for financial aid each academic year beginning January or as soon as you and/or your parents file IRS tax returns. To apply, file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

When filing your FAFSA application, keep the following in mind: • Use SF College School Code 001519.

• If you leave your housing plans blank, you will be awarded aid based on your commuter budget.

• SF College will receive an electronic file with your FAFSA information that will be used to determine your financial aid.

• If you need assistance filing the FAFSA, visit the computer lab in R-2XX. • Once you file the FAFSA, you will be able to access you application using the federal PIN. 2. Apply for admission to SF and submit proof of high school graduation or GED. If you have attended any other college or university, you must submit an official final transcript(s) to the Records office.

3. Furnish all required/requested documents to the Records Office and Financial Aid Office (you may view documents required on eSantaFe). An incomplete admissions or financial aid file will delay your financial aid.

4. Visit the Career Resource Center if you are seeking information regarding scholarships.

5. View your degree audit online before you register for classes or see an academic advisor or a program advisor.

You must be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program. Click here for more information.

6. Check your financial aid status on eSantaFe through My Financial Aid section and read your notifications regularly in case additional information is needed to complete your file.

The Federal PIN

Your federal PIN allows you to: • Access your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

• Sign your FAFSA electronically or obtain a copy of your FAFSA information.

• Complete your Federal Direct Student Loan electronic Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov.

• Review your grant and loan history on the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at www.nslds.ed.gov.

• If you are a dependent student and one of your parents has a PIN, he or she can sign the application electronically using their PIN.

Verification

Verification is the process established by the U.S. Department of Education to check the accuracy of the information submitted on the FAFSA. Verification may occur at any time during the application or awarding process. In most cases, applicants are selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education; however, the college may also select a student.

If selected, the federal processor will notify you and/or SF. Students (and parents for dependent students) will be asked to provide additional documents.

Your Financial Aid Status Online Visit eSantaFe to view the status of your file or awards received, including the amount and disbursement date of your financial aid.

A Few Things to Know If you are awarded a Federal Direct Student Loan, you must complete and Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN) if you have not already done so for a prior Federal Direct Loan.

Many outside organizations offer scholarships to students who meet certain criteria including, but not limited, to their ethnic background, professional affiliations, field of study and/or place of residence. Click here for additional information.

You may be eligible for a fee deferment.

Transfer Students

If you plan to transfer to SF during the year (i.e. spring 2014 or summer 2014) you should: • Add the SF Federal School code 001519 to the FAFSA. • Tell your current school about your transfer plans and have them cancel your aid at that school.

• Have all official final transcripts sent to the Records Office at SF. • Have at least a 2.0 GPA after all official transfer course work has been evaluated.

• All transfer credits as well as attempted course work at SF will be included as attempted credit hours.

Critical Enrollment Information

Maximum eligibility for funding is based on a full-time enrollment status; however, part-time students may be 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 degree or certificate 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 1-5 credit hours.

• Students who plan to register for less than full-time enrollment status should pay close attention to the eligibility requirements.

Standard Term and Flexterm Enrollment

A standard term is 16 weeks long. The standard fall term runs from August to December. The flexterm session occurs within the standard term at an accelerated pace. For example, the fall A flexterm runs from August to the middle of October, approximately eight weeks.

Your fall financial aid will be based on your projected enrollment in ALL sessions as of the end of the regular “Drop With A Refund” date, August 27, 2013, OR the date the federal government processes your financial aid application, or the date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF, whichever is later. This is referred to as your “lock-in” date for determining all of your financial aid for the standard term, A flexterm, or B flexterm. This same financial aid awarding process will also apply to the spring and summer terms of 2014. Spring “lock-in” is January 10, 2014 and summer “lockin” is May 16, 2014.

The lock-in date for students who attend only the B flexterm will be the end of the regular Drop With A Refund date for the B flexterm or their processed date, or the date that their financial aid is initially calculated by SF, whichever is later.

If your application is processed by the federal government after the lock-in date for the standard fall term, August 27, 2013, then your registration will be “locked-in” at the processed date or the date that your financial aid is initially calculated

by SF, whichever is later. Please plan accordingly in scheduling your courses for future terms, and for any flexterms within the terms.

Refunds and Financial Aid Disbursements

Santa Fe College has partnered with Higher One to provide students with free direct deposit of financial aid disbursements and refunds from SF via the SF SmartCard. With the SF SmartCard, payments are delivered in two different forms: Easy Refund to the student’s OneAccount, direct deposit to the student’s personal bank account or a check mailed via US Mail (after 21 days) if no deposit selection is made. Financial aid disbursements are sent to Higher One for processing approximately three business days after the Drop With Refund date and as soon as aid is available. Financial aid disbursements will not be processed for students with an outstanding financial obligation to the college.

The Cashier’s Office is located in the Alan J. Robertson Administration Building, room 52. Business hours are Monday Friday, 8:15 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients - Minimum Standards

Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility 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 for academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than college Academic Standards, Warning, Probation and Suspension. Federal regulations state that Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether or not aid was received. The student must meet all the minimum standards in order to receive financial aid.

31

sfcollege.edu

Students must meet the following criteria: • Complete 67% of all credits attempted.

• Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

• Complete their program of study within the 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.

This includes repeated classes.

• Students who have zero credits hours completed for any funded term will be suspended if their overall GPA is below a 2.0 and/or their completion ratio is below 67 percent.

• 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.

Note: Grades of F, I or W, and courses not yet graded are considered attempted but not meeting progress standards for the purposes of financial aid.

Disclaimer

The information provided here is a summary of financial aid information. You are responsible for knowing all policies and procedures outlined in the SF 2013-2014 Financial Aid Handbook.

Student Financial Obligations

You are responsible for your financial obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, if you are delinquent in satisfying any obligations, you will not be permitted to graduate, register, receive a transcript for completed course work 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. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitution is unlikely, the student’s registration will be canceled. In no instance shall the student’s enrollment be continued beyond the point where the dishonored check has been rejected by the bank on resubmission.

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 the amount of the non-resident tuition fee.

College Preparatory Course Fee

An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in certain College Preparatory courses more than two times in order to meet the state requirement to pay 100 percent of the instructional cost of the course. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to the amount of the non-resident tuition fee.

Credit Card Payment

(MasterCard, VISA or American Express) Students may pay fees online. Visit www.sfcollege.edu and click on eSantaFe. Select Pay Fees and follow the menu.

Remember, you must have your PIN to pay online.

Deferred Fees

Veterans and other eligible persons who request fee deferments must have the deferment processed at the cashier’s window in the Robertson Administration Building 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 or senior citizens can only 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.

Academic Objectives and Attendance

Santa Fe College is responsible for providing its students with a 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 College.

Grade Point Deficit A grade point deficit is the difference between the grade points needed for a C average and the grade points earned on hours attempted. The following example demonstrates this concept. It should be noted that a student could go from a position of good standing to academic warning, probation or suspension within one term.

Example 1 New student in first term: Total Grade Grade Attempted Grade Points Hours Points A 4 multiplied by 3 = 12

B 3 “ “

3 = 9

C 2 “ “

3 = 6

D 1 “ “

3 = 3

12 = 30 To remain in good standing, a C average, which is equal to two grade points per credit hour, must be maintained.

The total credits attempted, multiplied by two, will establish the minimum number of grade points needed. From the grade record listed above on 12 credit hours, 12 times two (for a C average) = 24 grade points. Since 30 grade points were earned, this student is in good standing.

Example 2 Same student as example 1, but in second term: Total Grade Grade Attempted Grade Points Hours Points

C 2 multiplied by 4 = 8

D 1 “ “

3 = 3

F 0 “ “

4 = 00

F 0 “ “

4 = 00

15 = 11 This student earned 11 grade points in the second term. Added to the 30 grade points from the first term, the student has earned 41 grade points. For the 27 credit hours attempted (12 + 15 = 27), the student would need 54 grade points (27 times two) to maintain a C average. Therefore, this student has a 13 grade point deficit (54 - 41 = 13) and will be placed on academic probation.

Example 3 New student in first term: Total Grade Grade Attempted Grade Points Hours Points

F 0 multiplied by 4 = 0

F 0 “ “

3 = 0

D 1 “ “

3 = 3

D 1 “ “

3 = 3

13 = 6 In this example, the student earned six grade points on 13 semester hours. Thus, 13 times two = 26 grade points needed for a C average. Since only six grade points were earned, this student would have a 20 grade point deficit and, therefore, would be suspended after just one term.

35

sfcollege.edu

Academic Warning, Probation and Suspension To complete degree and certificate program requirements, students must meet SF’s Standards of Academic Progress: • Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on academic warning if they have a grade point deficit of 9 or less.

• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on academic probation if they have a grade point deficit of 10 or more but less than 20.

• Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or more shall be suspended for one semester (15 weeks).

See the description of the Standards of Academic Progress (SLS1531) course online in the classes section at Student Development Instruction. This course is intended to help suspended students return to college successfully. Students readmitted after their suspension term, or those who receive suspension overrides, should enroll in this course.

Academic Dismissal Students returning from suspension will be on probation. If, at the end of the term they return, their grade point deficit is still 20 or more, they will be dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. The student may then petition the college for possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate promise of successful performance.

Students returning after suspension or dismissal, who earn a semester GPA of 2.5 or above, will not be suspended even though they may have an overall deficit of more than 20 grade points. Should this promising level of performance continue, a status of good academic standing may be restored. Under these circumstances, the student will continue on academic probation.

Earning Credit While Suspended A student under suspension from another institution may not earn credit at Santa Fe College, and a student under suspension from SF may not earn credits toward a degree from this institution by taking courses at another institution. In each case, it is the student’s responsibility to work with the Registrar’s Office of each college or university to determine the policies governing credit earned while under suspension.

Standards of Academic Progress Summary

Academic Warning 1-9 grade point deficit

Academic Probation 10-19 grade point deficit

Academic Suspension 20 or more grade point deficit Transferring to Santa Fe College With Deficit Grade Points All transfer students will be evaluated by SF’s Standards of Progress using the same criteria applied to non-transfer students.

Transfer students entering with deficit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, that is, academic warning or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade points have been earned to achieve a C average.

Withdrawals Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Office of Records (Building R, room 112) up until the official withdrawal date 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, the college registrar may grant a petition for fee reduction for documented cases of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full fees must be requested before the end of drop/add for the term or session in which the course is attempted for the third time. No waivers are granted retroactively.

Transient SF 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 Records before enrolling at another institution.

Transient forms are available online at www.flvc.org.

College Preparatory Program

Chair, Academic Foundations, Carole Windsor

College Preparatory, Adult Ed, and ESL Faculty: R. Connelly, M. Dicks, A. DiRienzo, J. Falt, Dr. J. Graney,

M. Swope, J. Warmke-Robitaille, A. Weigl Academic Foundations Department In support of academic achievement, Santa Fe College provides learning labs that offer individualized academic support in mathematics, reading and writing. This service is offered to students at all levels. Students may be referred to the labs by instructors or may seek additional help independently. Lab instruction is offered on a one-to-one basis or in small group sessions and is free of charge to SF students.

The ESL (EAP) program provides instruction in the spoken and written language for non-native English students. Students participate in small-group instruction and individual practice to develop the English language skills needed to succeed in academic and vocational classes. Listening, speaking, reading, writing and cultural adaptation are emphasized.

The Learning Labs are located at:

ESL (EAP) Lab I-001

Mathematics Lab G-014 Reading Lab G-036

Writing Lab

G-005 Degree-seeking students whose college entry placement scores are below the state and institutional college level placement scores shall enroll in the appropriate College Preparatory courses prior to enrolling in college level courses.

The College Preparatory courses are:

ENC0015 Developmental Writing 1

ENC0025 Developmental Writing 2

REA0007 Developmental Reading 1

REA0017 Developmental Reading 2

MAT0018 Developmental Math 1

MAT0022 Developmental Mathematics Combined

MAT0028 Developmental Math 2 Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are required to re-register for the failed course the following semester.

Students who complete REA0017 are required to register for REA2205 the following semester. Students are strongly recommended to enroll in College Composition (ENC1101) immediately after they complete College Preparatory reading and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to enroll in MAT1033 after they complete MAT0022 or MAT0028.

Rule 6A-10.0315(14)

Florida Administrative Code states that students enrolled in College Preparatory courses may be permitted to take courses concurrently in other curriculum areas for which they are qualified. Students who test into College Prep instruction must successfully complete the required College Preparatory studies by the time they have accumulated 12 hours of college credit course work or they must maintain continuous enrollment in College Preparatory course work each semester until the requirements are completed, while performing satisfactorily in the degree earning course work.

College Preparatory students may not enroll in college credit courses that require skills that are beyond the skill level of the student. Restricted college level courses are flagged in the course schedule. Since students must maintain continuous enrollment in required College Preparatory course work to maintain eligibility for enrollment in college level courses, students may not drop a College Preparatory course and remain registered in a college level course.

The College Prep advisors located in Building G, room 41 are available to advise all College Prep and ESL (EAP) students.

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 counts 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 out-of-state tuition. Exemptions may be granted for extenuating circumstances. Petitions may be submitted at the College Prep office, Building G, room 21.

Grades earned in College Prep courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the students’ GPAs and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.

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.

The ESL (EAP) program consists of the following courses: EAP0200C ESL Communications for College 1 EAP0220C ESL Basic Reading EAP0240C ESL Basic Writing EAP0300C ESL Communications for College 2 EAP0320C ESL Intermediate Reading 37

sfcollege.edu

EAP0340C ESL Intermediate Writing EAP0400C Communications for College 3 EAP0420C College Preparatory ESL Reading EAP0440C College Preparatory ESL Writing Grades earned in ESL (EAP) courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the student’s GPA and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.

Students enrolled in College Preparatory ESL (EAP) courses follow the same registration procedures as all College Preparatory students. Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in any Prep ESL (EAP) course. Withdrawal from one of these courses after the last day to withdraw and receive a refund counts as an attempt.

Cooperative Education

Courses offered by this program allow students to apply knowledge obtained in the classroom in a variety of actual work settings. Students are able to gain valuable work experience and skills not obtainable in the classroom. Registration for Cooperative Education classes is by Cooperative Education Department permission only (Building I, room 40).

Each Cooperative Education placement involves the student in the work site search, which often resembles a competitive job search. The work site may provide experience to the student as a paid job or as volunteer work experience, depending upon the employer’s current staffing needs and financial resources. Once a site is established, the student will work a minimum of 10-20 hours per week and will receive financial compensation (if a paid site has been developed) and one to three semester hours of credit for each co-op work assignment. The student working 10-14 hours per week will receive one semester hour of credit. The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive two semester hours of credit. The student working 20-35 hours per week will receive three semester hours of credit. A total of up to nine hours per year may be earned.

Supervisors at the students’ work sites evaluate students’ performance during their Cooperative Education experience.

The Cooperative Education coordinator utilizes experiential-type reports and other assignments submitted by the student at the end of each term, combined with the performance evaluation submitted by the site supervisor, to determine an appropriate grade. Cooperative Education course hours designated as occupational (O) are not transferable nor will those hours count toward graduation requirements for the A.A. degree or impact the student’s GPA.

Degree Programs

Santa Fe College grants five degrees: Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), Associate of Science (A.S.), Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.), and Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

Associate of Arts Degree The Associate of Arts degree is awarded to those students who successfully complete a program of study that is primarily designed to prepare them for transfer to a senior institution. Students wishing to transfer should obtain additional academic advisement from the upper division school to which they expect to apply.

All incoming A.A. degree-seeking students are required to begin progress in meeting their mathematics requirement for graduation. This means that students must register for a math course their first semester and continue to do so each subsequent semester until they have satisfied the mathematics requirement for their respective degrees.

Associate of Applied Science Degree The Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to students who successfully complete one of the Business, Health Sciences, Construction and Technical, Public Safety or Information Technology Education programs. These areas of study are primarily designed to prepare students for immediate employment.

Associate of Science Degree The Associate of Science degree is awarded to students who complete programs of instruction consisting of college level courses to prepare for entry into employment and including 15-18 hours of General Education courses transferable to the State University System. Some senior institutions have established programs to build on the Associate of Science degree. Students wishing to transfer to such programs should check with the upper division school to which they expect to apply.

Bachelor of Applied Science Degree The Bachelor of Applied Science is the designated degree for baccalaureate programs designed to accommodate the flexible demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. B.A.S. programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with the Associate of Science degree. B.A.S. degree programs conform to all articulation conventions (including common course prerequisites, common course numbering, and faculty credentialing) in accordance with Florida statewide articulation standards. All B.A.S. degree programs at Santa Fe College include one or more capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies. Currently, SF offers three B.A.S. degree programs–in Clinical Laboratory Science, Health Services Administration and Organizational Management.

Bachelor of Science Degree The Bachelor of Science is the designated four-year degree for baccalaureate programs comprised of concentrated studies in the sciences, applied sciences, health sciences or professional disciplines. Bachelor of Science degree programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. Currently, Santa Fe College offers five Bachelor of Science degree programs–in Nursing and in Early Childhood Education.

Graduation

Students who wish to graduate in a given semester are expected to apply for graduation through eSantaFe before the semester deadline. Graduation deadlines are noted in the SF calendar online. Graduating students are invited to attend the graduation ceremonies, which are held in April and December. Students who will be graduating in the summer semester may attend either the spring or fall graduation, but names of summer graduates are printed only in the December commencement program.

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 SF provided they maintain continuous enrollment (registration for, and completion of, at least one course for one full term in an academic year).

Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment will be assigned the catalog in effect at the time they readmit or resume enrollment. Students may choose to graduate under the requirements of a later catalog, but they must fulfill all graduation requirements from that alternative catalog year.

A.A. degree students should consult with an academic advisor.

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.

Experiential Learning

Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by experience in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send requests for experiential learning credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments request the appropriate documentation from the registrar to determine 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 require a letter from the student’s employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Experiential credit is usually granted only for internships. 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 Office of the Registrar, building R room 112, or upon request at 352-395-5514.

Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS)

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 27 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 http://scns.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.”

Prefix Level Code Century Digit Decade Digit Unit Digit Lab Code (first digit) (second digit) (third digit) (fourth digit) ENC 1 1 0 1

English Lower (Freshman) Freshman Freshman Freshman No laboratory Composition Level at

Composition Composition Composition component in this institution Skills Skills I this course 39

sfcollege.edu

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 Exception to the General Rule for Equivalency.

For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 59 different 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 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.

A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.

B. For courses at non-regionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question.

C. 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.

D. College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses.

E. Graduate courses.

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

G. 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.).

40

sfcollege.edu

Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions The SCNS makes available on its home page (http://scns.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 the transfer evaluators in the Office of the Registrar on the Northwest Campus, Building R, room 112, 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 http://scns.fldoe.org.

Grades and Reports

1. At the end of the term, a final grade for each term is recorded and preserved. Grades and grade point values include: Superior Achievement A 4.0

Good Achievement B+ 3.5 B 3.0 Satisfactory Achievement C+ 2.5 C 2.0 Minimum Achievement D+ 1.5 D 1.0 Failure F 0.0

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.

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 that 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, 352-392-1355.

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.

For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar at 352-395-5451.

Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams. Public colleges and universities in Florida are required to award credit for AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES, AICE, and Excelsior College 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 Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed on the chart found at www.fldoe.org/articulation/.

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.

43

sfcollege.edu

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 Records (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 SF 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.

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 Records (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 Records (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 Records (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 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 particular 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 the student 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 Records (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.

44

sfcollege.edu

8. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time after the lapse of one full academic term beyond the term in which the first attempt was made. Students may not attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in the same course.

Career Pathways College Credit Career Pathways College credit is a mechanism of accelerated credit that may be implemented during the high school years.

Students who have earned sufficiently high grades in Career and Technical Education or career academy classes while in high school, and who have passed an exam formulated and administered by Santa Fe College, will receive credit on a permanent college transcript. For more information, please contact the Career Pathways Office at -352-395-5885.

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.

sfcollege.edu

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Academic Freedom Students have the right to be taught by faculty who have the freedom to 1) teach and discuss any aspect of a topic pertinent to the understanding of the subject matter of the course that he/she is teaching and 2) act and speak in his/her capacity as a citizen without institutional censorship or discipline. Santa Fe College has had a long history of responsible academic freedom in which it takes justifiable pride. http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_1/1_5.pdf Academic Objectives Students are responsible for satisfying the entire range of academic objectives as they are defined by the instructor in any course. Failure to satisfy any of the course objectives may have an adverse effect on the grade earned in the course or may result in the student receiving no credit in the course. Attendance requirements are included in the academic objectives of each course and shall be presented in writing by the instructor at the beginning of each term. http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_7/7_21.pdf Complaints Santa Fe College seeks to maintain open avenues for students who wish to lodge complaints. To provide these avenues, the College maintains a responsive system designed to address and resolve student complaints. The complaint process has a basic, tripartite structure: 1. Informal Complaints 2. Formal Complaints and 3. Appeals.

While the College encourages students to resolve issues informally whenever possible, it also realizes that informal resolutions are not also practical. When informal means do not resolve the complaint, students may avail themselves of the College’s formal complaint process. The following table provides a brief summary of the College’s procedures regarding informal and formal complaints as well as appeals. For Informal Complaints, students are recommended to address the issue directly with party/parties involved; if the issue remains unresolved, then students are recommended to seek resolution through formal means. For Formal Complaints about Discrimination and/or Harassment, students may contact any SF employee regarding such a complaint; that employee is then required by SF Rule 2.8P to forward that complaint to the designated authorities. Students may also contact administrators whose responsibilities directly address such issues, such as: The President or Provost, The Director of Human Resources or The Associate Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs or for Student Affairs. For Informal Appeals about Academic Issues, students are recommended to address the issue directly with party/parties involved; if the issue remains unresolved, then students are recommended to seek resolution through formal means. For Formal Student Appeals about Academic Issues, students are required to follow the procedures designated for the subject(s) of appeal. Examples include: Overloads (AVP of Academic Affairs or Ombudsperson), Exceptional withdrawals (Same administrators and/or the Petitions Committee) and Access to records (Records). In addition to these venues and resources, students may seek direction from the FLDOE page http://www.fldoe.org/cc/complaint.asp devoted to student complaints, College Complaint Procedure Information. This site contains overviews of the complaint process and a link to a list of the appropriate contact person at each Florida college and university who receives formal student complaints.

Information about filing a complaint with the College’s accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC), can be found on its website at http://www.sacscoc.org/FAQsanswers. asp. Please note that the SACS-COC complaint process is not intended to be used to involve the Commission in disputes between individuals and member institutions or to cause the Commission to interpose itself as a reviewing authority in individual matters; nor does the policy allow the Commission to seek redress on an individual’s behalf. The primary purpose of the SACS-COC complaint procedure is to acquire valuable information regarding an accredited institution’s possible non-compliance with accreditation standards, policies and procedures rather than to resolve individual disputes. http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_2/2_8.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/PDF/Rule_2/2_8P.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_2/2_9P_A.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_7/7_2P.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_7/7_11.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_7/7_22.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/content/media/PDF/Rule_7/7_23.pdf http://dept.sfcollege.edu/rules/PDF/Rule_7/7_36.pdf Computer Access Students are responsible for obtaining access to an Internet-connected computer for successful completion of college programs. Santa Fe College expects and requires that all students acquire access to the computer hardware and software necessary for their programs. The cost of meeting this requirement varies from student to student, but may include purchase or lease of a computer, Internet access fees, software purchases, and cost of maintenance and supplies. Costs of meeting this requirement will be included in financial aid considerations. No student will be denied access to Santa Fe College because of an inability to purchase or lease a computer, and accordingly, the College offers access to computers through its computer labs and the library. http://dept.sfcollege.edu/catalog/2002-2003/cecptpolicy.htm 47

Mission

The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides the curricula whereby Santa Fe College students satisfy general education requirements and obtain the prerequisite courses required for transfer to upper-division university programs. This division furthers the college’s mission by providing a strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate of Arts degree; preparing students with diverse backgrounds and goals for careers, further academic study and lifelong learning; creating intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning and problem-solving skills; building an awareness of self, diverse opinions and cultures, and one’s responsibility within the global community; promoting the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline areas; and providing a personalized, supportive learning environment that challenges students to achieve high levels of academic performance.

Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree

The college offers the Associate of Arts degree to students wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate program within the Florida College or Florida State University systems upon completing an Associate’s degree.

In keeping with the Florida statewide articulation agreement, each institution granting the Associate of Arts degree sets its own General Education requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours required for the degree. By law, the articulation agreement provides that every Associate of Arts graduate of a Florida college be granted admission to the upper division of a state university except to a limited access or teacher certification program or a major program requiring an audition. Students earning the Associate of Arts degree and transferring to one of Florida’s public universities will not be required by the university to take additional General Education courses.

Although the Associate of 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 of Arts degree requires 24 hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to 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 a program 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.

Because of the complicated prerequisites and other requirements associated with fine arts programs, students working on an A.A. degree in a fine arts area should consult with the discipline coordinators of their program for proper academic advisement: Dance, Tari Kendall, 352-395-5916; Music/Vocal, Lynn Sandefur, 352-381-3639; Music/Instrumental, Sheila Forrester, 352-381-3862, ext. 6317; Theatre, Terry Klenk, 352-395-5092; Theatre/Technical, Owen Reynolds, 352-395-5985; Visual Art, Matthew Newell, 352-395-5810; Visual Art/Photography, Ray Hale, 352-395-5341 ext. 6399.

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, 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. 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.

However, 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.

Gordon Rule (6A-10.030) 1. In addition to assessments that may be adopted by the State Board of Education or Board of Governors to measure student achievement in college-level communication and computation skills, other assessment requirements shall be met by successful completion of course work in English and mathematics. For the purposes of this rule, a grade of C or higher shall be considered successful completion.

2. Prior to receipt of an Associate of Arts degree from a public community college or university, or prior to entry into the upper division of a public university or college, a student shall complete successfully the following: a. Six semester hours of English course work and six semester hours of additional course work in which the student is required to demonstrate college-level writing skills through multiple assignments. Each institution shall designate the courses that fulfill the writing requirements of this section. These course designations shall be submitted to the Statewide Course Numbering System. An institution to which a student transfers shall accept courses so designated by the sending institution as meeting the writing requirements outlined in this section. b. Six semester hours of mathematics course work at the level of college algebra or higher. For the purposes of this rule, applied logic, statistics and other such computation course work, which may not be placed within a mathematics department, may be used to fulfill three hours of the six hours required by this section. c. Students awarded college credit in English based on their demonstration of writing skills through dual enrollment, advanced placement, or international baccalaureate instruction pursuant to Rule 6A-10.024, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and students awarded college credit based on their demonstration of mathematics skills at the level of college algebra or higher through one or more of the acceleration mechanisms in Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., shall be considered to have satisfied the requirements in subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C., to the extent of the college credit awarded.

Gordon Rule Writing Courses Santa Fe College has established the following rationale for identifying writing intensive courses that may be used to satisfy the college-level writing portion of the Gordon Rule (2a above): A writing-intensive course is a content-specific course that has as major instructional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial discipline-based writing component that consists of teacher-assessed college-level writing assignments.

College-level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills to discuss 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.

In a writing-intensive course, students are expected to produce a substantial amount of discipline-based writing, of which the majority is assessed by faculty toward refining college-level writing skills in a specific discipline.

Construction and Technical Programs

Program Director Jane Parkin Program Advisor Tom Mason Faculty C. Cowart, B. Faulk, A. Grant, J. Mahoney, L. Nellinger, Jr., K. Strauss

The purpose of the Construction and Technical Programs is to prepare individuals for initial employment and upgrading or retraining in a wide range of industrial occupations. Individuals completing Construction and Technical Programs are qualified to function as skilled or semi-skilled workers. Instruction is provided in a classroom setting for technical-related theory, safety, mathematics and science; and in a laboratory and shop setting for manipulative skill development and on-the-job experience. Many of the programs are housed in SF’s Charles R. Perry Construction Institute (Building O). The college also utilizes apprenticeship and cooperative methods of instruction.

The programs provide a wide range of opportunities to enhance current employment and to provide a career ladder for advancement. Students who choose to change majors at Santa Fe may have their transcripts evaluated for credit toward our degrees. It is possible for students who have partially completed General Education requirements toward an A.A. degree to transfer these credits toward the A.S. or A.A.S. degree.

A program advisor is available in the Construction and Technical Programs area to provide information about the programs as well as admission, advisement and registration assistance to prospective, currently enrolled and returning students. For an appointment call 352-395-5362, email tom.mason@sfcollege.edu. or visit the office on the Northwest Campus in Building O, room 127.

Automotive Service Management Technology - Associate of Applied Science 2604 The Santa Fe College A.A.S. 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.

Santa Fe College’s Automotive Program is “Master Certified” by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) to meet the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) standards of quality. The program has received state and national awards from the Automotive Industry Planning Council (AIPC), composed of members of the National Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), representatives of the automobile manufacturing industry (AAM) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

Scholarships will be awarded annually to provide financial assistance to eligible graduating seniors from Alachua and Bradford counties who attend Santa Fe College.

Building Construction Technology - Associate of Science 3610 The mission of the Building Construction Program at Santa Fe is to promote and improve construction education in our geographic area by providing construction management training for entry-level practitioners in residential and light commercial construction.

Growth in the state of Florida and changes in the construction industry mandate that builders and their supervisory employees have business and management skills in addition to being knowledgeable in the construction trades and the construction process. Associate of Science degree graduates from the Building Construction Program at Santa Fe understand basic principles of business and have knowledge of the technical aspects of the construction industry. Graduates are able to function in the construction office environment and on the job site.

The Building Construction Program at Santa Fe offers building construction courses for different types of students. The A.A.S. in Building Construction Technology gives graduates technical skills required in the industry and blends business management training for light construction in a two-year degree program. The A.A. degree with construction emphasis is designed to prepare the graduate to transfer to a four-year university and to pursue a bachelor’s degree in building construction. Several courses taught in the A.S. degree program transfer to four-year institutions as either electives or as required upper division courses with the graduate’s A.A. degree. Please check degree requirements and transfer courses accepted by Building Construction programs at upper level universities.

Many courses in the A.S. degree program are taught at the entry level and are open to the public and to industry members to update training. SF’s A.S. degree program in Building Construction Technology is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). The ACCE is the accrediting body for two- and four-year construction management programs in the United States. The college’s A.S. degree program in Building Construction Technology is the only accredited two-year program in Florida and one of only 10 in the country accredited by the ACCE.

Apprenticeship Programs

“Earn while you learn” is the philosophy of Santa Fe’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 with the exception of 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.

Cardiovascular Technology

Director Bobbie Konter Faculty A. Chadek, E. Hushelpeck, S. Lopez, S. Whitcraft

Cardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with three of the most serious health problems in the United States today—heart, lung and vascular diseases.

The Cardiovascular Technology Program is five semesters of classroom, laboratory and clinical instruction. The final two semesters are spent in clinical specialization rotations in cardiovascular laboratories. Students who complete the program are awarded an Associate of Science degree in Cardiovascular Technology. Excellent career opportunities await graduates.

The Cardiovascular Technology Program is one of the oldest and most established programs of its type in the United States. It is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology and the Florida Department of Health. Program instruction is consistent with curriculum frameworks as administered by the Florida Department of Education. Graduates are eligible to take national certification examinations.

The Cardiovascular Technology Program consists of three specialty areas: Invasive Cardiology Working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the technologist helps the physician perform invasive diagnostic tests to assess the condition of a patient’s cardiovascular system. Additionally, the technologist helps the physician with interventional techniques such as balloon angioplasty and pacemaker implantation procedures designed to help alleviate existing cardiac problems.

Cardiac Ultrasound In the non-invasive cardiology laboratory, the technologist uses ultrasound technology to produce an image of the heart. The cardiac ultrasound study or echocardiogram can help identify normal heart structure and function and cardiac abnormalities such as valvular problems, flow irregularities and decreased cardiac function. Associated tests include electrocardiography (ECG), Holter monitoring, exercise stress testing, stress echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Peripheral Vascular Studies The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultrasound imaging, Doppler sonography, spectral analysis and a variety of physiologic testing procedures to image and evaluate blood flow in the veins and arteries throughout the body. These diagnostic modalities are particularly useful in evaluating patients who are at risk for strokes and peripheral vascular diseases. Recent advancements in vascular ultrasound include transcranial Doppler, dialysis access site evaluation, renal ultrasound and abdominal vascular ultrasound.

Respiratory Care

Program Director Paul Stephan Clinical Coordinator Leah Carlson

Respiratory Care – Associate of Science 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.

The Santa Fe Respiratory Care Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www. coarc.org). 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. An advanced standing policy is available for those applicants and students with previous respiratory therapy experience and/or education.

Surgical Technology

Program Director Paul Stephan Program Coordinator Diane May

Surgical Technology - Certificate 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. They have served in the Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number of them are instructors and directors of surgical technology programs.

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.

Graphic Design Technology – Associate of Science 3619 The Associate of Science degree program in Graphic Design Technology offers instruction in the theory and practice of graphic design to prepare graduates for entry-level jobs in this expanding career field.

Graphic Design students are admitted to the program twice a year. Graphic Design students entering the program in the spring will take their second semester classes in the summer to enter their third semester the following fall. Second semester classes will not be offered during the fall semesters. Admission is competitive. The Graphic Design Technology program requires a separate application beyond initial acceptance to Santa Fe College.

Admission is based on faculty rankings of the departmental applications. Potential students must take the College Placement Test and complete all required prep classes before applying for admission to Graphic Design Technology.

However, it is not a requirement that students complete their General Education requirements before applying for admission to the program. We strongly recommend that applicants take classes in the Fine Arts Department before being admitted to our program. Some of these classes may also cover some of their General Education requirements (please contact our department for more information about classes we recommend). Once admitted to the Graphic Design program, students take classes full time in a specific, or lockstep, sequence.

The program emphasizes creative thinking and problem solving in combination with hands-on instruction on industry standard computer hardware and software.

Graphic Design Technology students learn illustration, computer graphics, desktop publishing, Web page design, electronic imaging, presentation techniques, photography and design, and magazine and newspaper advertising layout.

Students learn about logos, brochures, newsletters, packaging, direct mail design, outdoor advertising, point-of-purchase display, printing methods and electronic pre-press production techniques. Students completing this degree will be prepared for employment in advertising agencies, reproduction firms, Web-related enterprises and publishing firms as graphic designers, illustrators and desktop publishers.

Graduates work for profit and non-profit agencies in a variety of professional settings including entertainment, advertising, marketing, merchandising, management, education, science, technology and sales. Designers may choose to specialize in desktop publishing and computer graphics, Web page design, digital photo manipulation, illustration or electronic pre-press, as well as digital video and dynamic content for the Internet General Education Requirements Credit Hours Communications 6

Paramedic Program

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 (EMT) 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 health care 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 are often called upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, and function under tremendous stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build.

Santa Fe College’s Paramedic Program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee for the Accreditation of EMTParamedic Programs.

Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students may be eligible to take the state of Florida Paramedic Certification and/or the National Registry Examination. Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification, Anatomy and Physiology* course (as either BSC2084/L OR BSC2085/L and 2086/L), and American Heart Association health care provider CPR, or its equivalent. *Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semester Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).

Educator Preparation Institute

Director Tyran Butler Program Advisor Leslie Mojeiko B-217, 352-395-5322

The Educator Preparation Institute is an alternative teacher certification program that trains nontraditional students as K-12 teachers. EPI enrollees must have at least a bachelor’s degree and Florida Department of Education approval to teach in their subject area. Classes meet at night and on weekends to accommodate those who work full time. The program, which is short but intense, can be completed in a year or less. The college lends course textbooks to EPI students, which saves them money. EPI instructors work or have worked for the local school board, so they know the school system and what the community needs. They also understand the realities of today’s classroom situation and pass on the skills they have learned.

More educators are needed to offset the state’s projected teacher shortage. Santa Fe’s EPI seeks people who are qualified to teach in high-need subject areas like reading, mathematics and science. The program also seeks minorities underrepresented in the teaching profession. For more information, visit www.sfcollege.edu/epi.

Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.)

The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) is the designated degree for baccalaureate programs designed to accommodate the flexible demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. B.A.S. programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with the Associate of Science degree. B.A.S. degree programs conform to all articulation conventions (including common course prerequisites, common course numbering, and faculty credentialing) in accordance with Florida statewide articulation standards.

B.A.S. degree programs typically include capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies.

Clinical Laboratory Science

Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) – Bachelor of Applied Science 5200

Interim Program Director Eileen Monck, MS

Program Advisor Sabrina Thrower

Faculty Birgitta Kimura, PhD, Aaron Hirko, PhD, Larry N. Smith, M.D., F.A.C.S. The Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) Program at Santa Fe College is located at the Charles R. and Nancy V. Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua, Florida. The Bachelor of Applied Science in CLS adheres to the state’s common course prerequisites and curriculum frameworks. All BAS degree seeking students are required to complete the same basic requirements as traditional baccalaureate students, including 36 hours of General Education, and demonstration of foreign language competence. The entrance requirements for this program require students choose specific courses within their lower division coursework to finish the degree in an appropriate timeframe. Therefore, students are strongly advised to consult with an advisor as early as possible to plan their progress through this degree program.

Baccalaureate students will enroll in courses full-time at the Perry Center for Emerging Technologies and will complete a clinical internship in the five specialty license areas in their final year at affiliated laboratories. Part time students will be allowed to take courses if space is available. The internships will only be offered on a full time basis, and serve as an evaluation point at which the students must demonstrate mastery of the program’s learning outcomes.

Clinical Laboratory Scientists (or Medical Technologists) may work in several different settings. Many work in hospitals, clinics, and medical centers, but positions are also available in industrial settings, public health, reference and research laboratories. These individuals may practice as generalists, typically covering the areas of serology, microbiology, clinical chemistry, hematology, and immunohematology, or they may specialize in one scientific area. After experience within the field there are opportunities for advancement into management or teaching positions. Industry also offers opportunity in the area of sales, public relations, research and development. There are channels for continued academic specialization and advanced degrees which in turn bring further employment opportunities and benefits.

Upon completion of all program requirements, students will graduate with a Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accredited Bachelor of Applied Sciences degree in Clinical Laboratory of Sciences. Graduates are then eligible for certification as a medical technologist by the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB). Students may then apply for licensure in the state of Florida as well as CA, GA, HI, LA, MT, NV, ND, RI, TN, WV. Of the 13 states that require licensure, New York and Puerto Rico are the only two that do not accept AAB certification. This program is currently in the process of pursuing National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) accreditation.
