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

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

College Philosophy, Mission and Values Statement of Philosophy The philosophy of Santa Fe College is student centered. Consistent with this philosophy, we value cultural diversity and serve all persons regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, marital status, age or disability. The college believes that preparing students for healthy, productive lives in a democratic society is the chief obligation of the public educational system. Therefore, we seek to enable changes in individuals that allow them to live richer, more rewarding, and more useful lives.

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

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

Values Santa Fe College is a dynamic, innovative learning community committed to: • Academic excellence, academic freedom and intellectual pursuit • Individual, social and global responsibility • Honesty, integrity and civility • Cultural diversity and equity • Collaboration with our community • Open access

www.sfcollege.edu • Lifelong learning • Assessment, accountability and improvement • Sustainable use of environmental, social and economic resources

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 bachelor’s 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 in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), Bachelor of Science (BS), Vocational Certificate (VC) and Continuing and Community Education programs.

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

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

Additional degrees will follow in the future, as specific needs are identified.

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

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

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

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

College Centers Santa Fe College 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.

www.sfcollege.edu

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 located 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.

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, 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.

Kirkpatrick Center SF’s Institute of Public Safety (IPS) is located at the Kirkpatrick Center in northeast Gainesville, directly across the street from the Gainesville Regional Airport. The Kirkpatrick Center houses the Police/Corrections Academy, the Criminal Justice Selection Center, and Emergency Medical Services programs. IPS also provides advanced and specialized law enforcement and corrections courses.

IPS’ Criminal Justice Technology AS degree program courses are offered at the Northwest Campus.

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. New additions to the NW 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 for online education; 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 hands-on experience in a stateof-the-art laboratory environment to prepare students for careers in the rapidly expanding world of laboratory science. Programs Include Biotechnology Laboratory Technology, Biomedical Equipment Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science and an expanding general education curriculum

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).

Open Campus (Online Courses) SF’s online classes in Open Campus offer the flexibility for you to further your education while still managing a job, family, or other obligations. The course start and end dates are the same as for traditionally delivered classes, but you can set your daily work schedule to participate in class when it is convenient. You will log in to the college’s learning management system, Canvas, to read materials, participate in class discussions, take exams, and submit work any time during the day or night.

The number of online courses available at Santa Fe College increases every semester. Currently there are many programs, ranging

The US@SF Center, in partnership with the University of Florida, provides counseling and support for SF and UF students who are pursuing studies online.

College Assets for the Community SF offers many cultural activities to enrich the community’s quality of life.

Non-high school graduates 18 years, or older possessing certificates of completion, are eligible to enroll for certain certificate courses only. These students are not eligible for most forms of financial aid. Information about these programs is available at the Office of Admissions.

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.

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 are encouraged to 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 in Science, Associate in Applied Science or Associate in 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) AA-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.

Please Note: You might be impacted by state legislation regarding Assessment and Placement, and Developmental Education which went into effect January 1, 2014. If you graduated from a Florida public high school with a standard diploma in 2007 or later, you may be exempt from taking a placement test and/or Developmental Education coursework. If interested in learning more about this and to see if you are eligible for the exemption, please make an appointment to speak with your Academic Advisor as soon as possible. You can find your assigned advisor and his/her contact information by viewing your Degree Audit in eSantaFe.

Assessment Center Hours: Monday - Thursday: 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Friday: 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.; G-25 (NW Campus) A picture ID is required (driver’s license, military ID, passport). Exempted from this testing requirement are the following: A. All students who have earned an Associate in Arts degree or higher from an accredited institution in the United States.

B. All students intending to enroll in vocational courses only, special programs and seminars, or any of the unrestricted courses and programs in any term’s registration schedule.

C. All transfer or readmission students who have satisfactorily completed College Composition (ENC1101) or equivalent and Intermediate Algebra (MAT1033) or College Algebra (MAC1105) or equivalent with a C or better.

Course Loads A full-time student for fall, spring, and summer terms is one who enrolls in 12 or more semester hours, or any combination of 12 or more hours in the full or mini sessions within the individual term. Credit hours for courses audited are counted toward a full load. Students may not register for more than 19 semester hours in any standard term nor more than 10 semester hours in any mini-term at SF without special permission. Students seeking permission to enroll in more than 19 semester hours must see the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs or a designee in room 253 of the Robertson Administration Building on the Northwest Campus.

Deadlines and Transcripts SF requires final, official transcripts from the high school from which you graduated and all colleges you have attended. Final, official transcripts should be on file with the Office of Admissions prior to the academic advisement/registration process. The deadline for applying to the college, with all supporting documents for any given term, is the day before the first day of class. Priority registration is reserved for those applicants who complete the Admissions process by the Application Priority Dates (April 1 for summer semester, August 1 for fall semester, and December 1 for spring semester). Financial aid is awarded when ALL final, official transcripts are received and processed.

For this and other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcollege.edu or contact the Office of Admissions at 352-3957322. These dates are subject to change without notice. Please refer to the Admissions website at www.sfcollege.edu for updated information regarding admissions deadlines and/or requirements.

We strongly encourage you to apply early and complete all registration procedures before the Priority Dates. Failure to submit the required documentation before the first day of classes may result in your inability to attend classes for the desired term.

Degree Programs Associate in Arts (AA) degree programs are for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university upon graduation.

Student Support Services The Student Support Services Program (SSS) is a federally funded program that provides opportunities for academic development, helps college students with college requirements, and serves to motivate students toward the successful completion of their postsecondary education. The goal of this 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 an AA program with plans to transition to a four-year school. Only first generation, low-income, 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 352-395-5068 or see the SSS website at http://www.sfcollege.edu/studentaffairs/support/index.

3.

Upward Bound The Upward Bound Program (UB) is a federally funded program designed to provide low-income and/or first generation students with the academic skills and motivation necessary to persist in completing their secondary education and to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. Currently, the UB Program is funded to serve 63 students from Bradford High School and Newberry High School. During the academic year UB provides afterschool tutoring at Bradford High School and Newberry High School two days each week. Every other Saturday, students are provided transportation to Santa Fe College to receive assistance with FCAT, EOC, and SAT/ACT preparation, college admissions and financial aid applications. Students also participate in financial literacy workshops, career and academic counseling, college tours and various educational and cultural activities.

During the summer, UB students participate in an intensive 6-week non-residential summer program at Santa Fe College designed to prepare them for the first nine weeks of subsequent school year. At the conclusion of the program, eligible students are able to receive Work Study and are placed with local businesses. In addition to academic and cultural enrichment activities, students participate in community service events and fundraising projects throughout the 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.

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.

Funding can also come from private sources such as private scholarships offered by various outside organizations. Different types of financial aid include grants, scholarships, work-study and loans. You may owe a repayment of Federal Student Aid if you withdraw from the college, stop attending, or fail all classes within the term. You may view the entire federal repayment policy on the Santa Fe College website. We strongly recommend checking with the Financial Aid office in R122 before withdrawing from a class.

Who Should Apply?

To determine eligibility, all students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. Most financial aid programs require "financial need" and are based on family income. The US Department of Education determines the formula and criteria that is used to calculate the amount of financial aid for which you are eligible. In addition to need, you must meet the following criteria:      

You must be accepted as degree-seeking in an AA degree or AS career program, or certificate–seeking in a financial aid eligible vocational training program. At Santa Fe College, this means that you have an admission / catalog year for your program. Students who are "Pending" in a program are not yet fully accepted.

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 equivalent such as a GEDcertificate.

You must be meeting standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

If you are unsure about qualifying for financial aid, you are still encouraged to apply using the FASFA at www.FASFA.ed.gov. You can find out more about basic financial aid eligibility at www.studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility/basic-criteria.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) 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.

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

www.sfcollege.edu

Unofficial Withdrawal (Stopping/Dropping Out): Federal regulations require a student to complete the term for which they were funded. If you have withdrawn from all of your classes, stopped attending all your classes, or did not successfully complete any of your classes (received all F’s), the College is required to calculate how much of the semester you did attend to determine how much of the aid you have “earned.” You will be required to pay back the portion of financial aid you did not earn.

When the Financial Aid Office calculates the Return to Title IV calculation we must use the last date of enrollment and/ or your last date of academic activity, as reported by your instructors, to determine how much aid you have earned. This date determines how much, if anything, you must repay if you do not successfully complete any of your courses.

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

NOTE: Dropped, repeated, withdrawn and liquidated coursework all count as attempts for federal Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.

Steps to Financial Aid Please follow the five steps below to make sure your financial aid is awarded without delay: 1. Complete the FAFSA: You must apply for financial aid each academic year, and can apply as early as October. To apply, file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

When filing your FAFSA application, keep the following in mind:   Use SF College School Code 001519. SF will automatically receive an electronic file with your FAFSA information that will be used to determine your financial aid.  If you leave your housing plans blank, you will be awarded aid based on a commuter budget.  If you need assistance filing the FAFSA, visit the computer lab in R-226 on the NW campus.  Once you file the FAFSA, you will be able to access your FASFA application using your FSA ID or federal PIN. 2. Request proof of high school graduation or equivalent, and request all postsecondary transcripts from any and all prior institutions. Start this process as soon as possible because it may take time to receive and process transcripts.  Proof of high school graduation or equivalent must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.  . If you have attended any other college or university, you must submit all official final transcripts to the Office of Admissions.

This includes technical schools, out-of-state schools and even schools attended for less than a year or semester.

3. Apply for admission to Santa Fe College 4. Furnish all required/requested documents and transcripts to the appropriate offices.  You may view required documents ineSantaFe.  Documents other than transcripts must be turned in to the Financial Aid Office (with name and SF ID on each page) by one of the following methods:  Email to financial.aid@sfcollege.edu  Fax to 352-381-7050  In person in R-122 of the NW Campus, open M-F 8:00 am - 4:30 pm  An incomplete admission or financial aid file will delay your financial aid.

5. Search for the term "Scholarships" on the Santa Fe College website, or visit the Career Resource Center in Room R-217 for information regarding scholarships.

6. View your degree audit online before you register for classes, and make an appointment to see your academic advisor or a program advisor if you have questions about your current or desired program.

7. Check your financial aid status in eSantaFe and read your notifications regularly in case additional information is needed.

Where to Get Help If you have a question or need help with any part of the financial aid process, you may email us at financial.aid@sfcollege.edu, call us at 352-395-5480 or you may visit the Financial Aid Office in R-122. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm.

After reviewing applicable policies and procedures, students have the right to file a complaint using appropriate protocols outlined by the college. http://www.sfcollege.edu/financialaid/index.php?section=rights_and_responsibilities http://www.sfcollege.edu/studentaffairs/index.php?section=student_complaint_procedures

The Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) Starting 2015, the FSA ID replaced the FSA PIN as the login process for federal student websites. Existing users will be able to link their PIN information to the FSA ID. Your federal FSA ID/ 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. (Required for all

24

www.sfcollege.edu

 

students who want loans).

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 required 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 Department of Education; however, the college may also select a student. If selected, the federal processor will notify you, and/or SF will notify you via eSantaFe. Students (and parents for dependent students) will be asked to provide additional information and documents. Verification must be completed before any funds are disbursed (paid).

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. Notifications provide details about your eSantaFe status, and should be reviewed regularly.

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. You can search for the term "Scholarship" at www.sfcollege.edu to find out more. If you drop or withdraw from classes, this affects your financial aid standing and ability to continue receiving financial aid. In some cases, if you drop or withdraw from all your classes, you may be required to pay financial aid money back.

Transfer Students If you plan to transfer to SF during the year you should:  Have all official final transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions at SF (required)  Have at least a 2.0 GPA and a 67% completion rate after all official transfer course work has been evaluated.*  Add the SF Federal School code 001519 to the FAFSA.  Tell your current school about your transfer plans and request that they cancel your aid at that school. *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 are often eligible for financial aid. Financial aid must be calculated by determining a student’s enrollment status based only on course work applicable to the student’s 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 to 5 credit hours.

Students who plan to register for less than half-time enrollment status should pay close attention to the eligibility requirements. Please work with an Academic Counselor if you are uncertain about how many credit hours you can successfully complete. Note that dropped, repeated, withdrawn and liquidated coursework all count as attempts for federal Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.

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

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” or “Last day to DROP with NO record and receive a refund” date OR the date the federal government processes your financial aid application, the date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF, or the date after your program change is finalized, whichever is later. This is referred to as your “Pell Recalculation” date for determining a portion of your financial aid for the standard term, A mini-term, or B mini-term. This same financial aid awarding process will also apply to the spring and summer terms. Please see the Critical Dates listed in the catalog and/or on the website for the “Drop With a Refund” or “Last day to DROP with NO record and receive a refund.” Dates.

The Pell Recalculation date for students who attend only the B mini-term will be the end of the regular Drop With A Refund date for the B miniterm 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 Pell Recalculation date for the standard fall term, then your registration will be “calculated” 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 mini-terms within the terms.

Submitting a program change after the “Drop With a Refund” date may delay payment of your financial aid and is not recommended. Program changes requested and activated before disbursement for the term may result in a recalculation of your awards. Aid may be adjusted up or down as a result of program changes, and applies to all programs and all students.

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 2017-2018 Financial Aid Handbook.

Refunds and Financial Aid Disbursements Santa Fe College has partnered with BankMobile to provide students with direct deposit of financial aid disbursements and refunds from SF. With BankMobile students my select a disbursement preference. Disbursements may be directly deposited to the student’s personal bank account, or students may opt to open a BankMobile Account. A check will be mailed via US mail (after 21 days) if no deposit selection is made. Financial aid disbursements will not be processed for students with an outstanding financial obligation to the college. If you have questions about a financial obligation, please contact the Cashier’s Office located in the Alan J. Robertson Administration Building, room 52. Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:15 a.m. – 4 p.m.

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

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

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

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

Student Financial Obligations You are responsible for your financial obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, if you are delinquent in satisfying 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. All returned payments are subject to a returned item fee. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitution is unlikely, the student’s registration will be canceled

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

Additional College Credit Course Fee An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in a college credit course more than two times. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to 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 nonresident tuition fee.

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

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

A student’s standing at Santa Fe College will be determined by the relationship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in good standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must earn the grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 (C) cumulative grade point average while at Santa Fe.

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

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

Academic Probation. Any student who fails to achieve an all college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for 2 consecutive terms will be notified via the college’s notification system and placed on academic probation. Once a student has been placed on probation, they will be limited to 9 credit hours until they are placed back into good academic standing except that the student can take 12 credit hours as long as one of the courses is selected from the following list: SLS1101, SLS1301, SLS1601 or SLS1531.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Withdrawals Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Office of the Registrar (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

28

www.sfcollege.edu enrollment in a course where any grade is assigned or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be counted as an attempt.

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

Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on a third attempt, a student must pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal to the non-Florida resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted by the college registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full 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 Enrollment Santa Fe students wishing to attend another post-secondary institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe College must obtain permission from SF before enrolling at the other institution. Students should fill out a transient form, seek advisement about courses they wish to take, and have their status at SF certified in the Office of the Registrar before enrolling at another institution. Transient forms are available online at www.floridashines.org.

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.

Degree Programs Santa Fe College grants five degrees: Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Associate in Science (AS), Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), and Bachelor of Science (BS) Associate in Arts Degree The Associate in 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 AA 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 in Applied Science Degree The Associate in Applied Science degree is awarded to students who successfully complete the Automotive Service Management Technology program. These areas of study are primarily designed to prepare students for immediate employment.

Associate in Science Degree The Associate in 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 in 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 (BAS) is the designated degree for baccalaureate programs designed to accommodate the flexible demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. BAS. programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with the Associate in Science degree. BAS 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 BAS 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 five BAS degree programs--in Clinical Laboratory Science, Health Services Administration, Industrial Biotechnology, Multimedia and Video Production Technology, and Organizational Management.

30

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

Graduation Santa Fe College has an Auto-Graduation process. Students will be notified via the college’s official notification system of their potential eligibility to graduate and prompted to review and edit their application that will be automatically created. Students will have the ability to review and edit the graduation application continuously until the end of the eligible term. Students will also have the ability to “Opt Out” of the Auto-Graduation process if desired. 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 Santa Fe 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.

AA 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.

Industry Certification Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by industry certification or licensure in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send a request for articulated credit through Industry Certification to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the completed Application for Articulated Credit through Industry Certification form. The academic departments request verification from the registrar to assure that another institution has not already credited the student for articulated credit. Criteria for granting the articulated credit are determined within each department. Articulated Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps articulated credit forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions. Application forms for industry certification articulated credit are available from the Academic Advisor for each Career and Technical Program area or upon request at 352.395.3646.

Experiential Learning Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit for previous experience or training in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to submit requests for such credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments verify with the Office of the Registrar that another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined within each department.

Experiential credits based on work experience may require a letter from the student’s employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions. Applications forms for experiential learning are available from the program office in which credit is being requested,

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

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

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

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

32

www.sfcollege.edu 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. B. C. D. E. F. G.

Courses not offered by the receiving institution.

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

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.

Applied academics for adult education courses.

Graduate courses.

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

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

Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions

The SCNS makes available on its home page (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 Korona Skipper in the Office of Institutional Research or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 323990400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling the SCNS office at (850) 245-0427 or at http://scns.fldoe.org.

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 which prompted research and technological change. A variety of events and elements in the history of air power are stressed, especially where these provide significant examples of the impact of air power on strategic thought.

To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-392-1355.

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.

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

Section 1007.27(2), Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP), Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams. The DSST (DANTES) and Excelsior College exam equivalents on the list are not part of that requirement, but are authorized by State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024. Public community colleges and universities in Florida are required to award the minimum recommended credit for AP, AICE, IB and CLEP exams as designated.

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

Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice.

Credit for all exams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Office of Articulation as listed on the chart found at www.fldoe.org/policy/articulation/.  Advanced Placement (AP)  International Baccalaureate (IB) Program  College Level Examination Program (CLEP)  Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)  Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE)  Excelsior College Examinations  Department Credit by Examination

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

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

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

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

Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum. Rather, they are designed to test students’ knowledge of a variety of college level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE) The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the British system of “A-Levels.”

Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Excelsior College Examinations Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Examination Program) are developed

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

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

Student Rights and Responsibilities The purpose of this document is to provide students with a general overview of both their rights and responsibilities as members of the Santa Fe College community. This list of student rights and responsibilities was developed using various documents that mandate College policies, rules and procedures. This document is not intended to create new or additional rights or responsibilities or to supersede or supplement existing rules and procedures, but merely to serve as a helpful guide for students. In the event a rule or procedure is modified, the terms of that rule or procedure will govern the students’ rights and responsibilities rather than this summary document Academic Advisement. Students have the right to academic advisement. Academic advisors provide degree-students with information and guidance as they develop a plan to attain their educational goals - including course selection and sequencing; as well as answers to their transfer questions. Students are assigned an academic advisor based on program of study. The name of each student’s advisor is listed in eSantaFe 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.

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.

Academic Responsibilities. Students are responsible for knowing and fulfilling all graduation requirements as well as pre-professional requirements for your major/program of study. In order to meet that goal, students are responsible for: 1) Completing orientation to receive direction prior to first term of enrollment 2) Meeting with an advisor on a regular basis about graduation requirements and understanding admission requirements for your major 3) Reviewing the degree audit to ensure you understand the remaining degree requirements. 4) Seeking advisement when in academic difficulty and 5) Maintaining your own personal academic records, including the catalog of your year of admission to Santa Fe, transcripts, degree audits, evaluation of transfer work, and notes from previous advising sessions.

If you are at any time uncertain or confused about academic requirements or your progress toward a degree, please meet with an advisor as soon as possible. View the SF website at www.sfcollege.edu for information on general education requirements, pre-professional courses required by your university major, SUS foreign language requirements, university links and the degree audit.

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

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

AA students have the right to participate in SF2FAMU or SF2UNF. SF2FAMU provides guaranteed admission into Florida A&M University while SF2UNF provides guaranteed admission into the University of North Florida for SF students who earn the AA degree. See an academic advisor or visit our website at www.sfcollege.edu for more information.

Audit Courses. Students are responsible for indicating whether they intend to receive credit for or audit a college course at the time of registration. A student 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.

Student organizations provide opportunities for involvement, leadership, and service on campus and in the community. There are over 90 active student organizations for students. Visit https://sfcollege.collegiatelink.net/ to learn more and join.

Transfer Credit. Students have the right to transfer college credits from other institutions upon review and approval. Transcripts submitted to the Office of Admissions will be reviewed by the Office of the Registrar for transfer equivalency results. Received transcripts are evaluated and each student is given a record of all transferred courses, a description of which transferred courses match those at SF and are valid substitutions, and a summary of graduation requirements.

Transfer Policies. Students have the right to transfer credits from accelerated mechanisms to state universities. Credits earned through acceleration mechanisms (e.g. College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate, and Dual Enrollment courses) within the AA degree at the College will be transferable to the state university. Students have the right to automatically transfer courses that are designated by the Statewide Course Numbering System. When transferring among institutions participating in the Statewide Course Numbering System, a receiving institution must accept all courses taken at the transfer institution if the same course with the same course number is offered at the receiving institution. Students have the right to transfer a completed general education core. Once a student has completed the General Education Core and this is so noted on the transcript, regardless of whether or not an AA degree is awarded, no other state university or community college to which the student may transfer can require additional courses to the general education core.

Translating Documents. Students are responsible for having all documents that are not originally provided in the English language by the issuing institution translated to the English language. Official high school transcripts must be sent a foreign credential education evaluation service: a foreign credential education evaluation services that is a current member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). The college will not accept documents that have not been professionally translated.

Tuition Payment Plan. Students have the right to use the Tuition Payment Plan to pay college tuition and fees. The Tuition Payment Plan breaks down the tuition balance into smaller monthly payments.

In-person help is also available for various topics at the Northwest Campus and the Centers.

Check www.sfcollege.edu/tutoring for the most updated in-person tutoring locations.

Withdrawal. Students have the right to officially withdraw from one course or from the College prior to the late withdrawal deadline. Students are responsible for completing a Santa Fe College withdrawal form to avoid receiving a failing grade for a course that is no longer being attended.

Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe or in the Office of the Registrar up until the official withdrawal date each term/session. The deadline to withdraw from classes is published in every SF class schedule and is located on the registration dates webpage. A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1965, (as amended), a student who completely withdraws may be required to repay a percentage of Title IV Federal Financial Aid funds received. College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full for course work dropped during the drop/add period or canceled by the college. However, the federal refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiving financial aid and completely withdrawing from the college. Students have the right to petition to adjust records regarding late withdrawal. The college petitions committee shall meet weekly and have responsibility for reviewing and making decisions on student petitions. A petition form

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

In keeping with the Florida statewide articulation agreement, each institution granting the Associate in 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

48

www.sfcollege.edu in 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 in 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 in Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised early in their academic careers to be aware of the upper-division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within the required general education core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition, the Associate in Arts degree requires 24 hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to the upper division. Although the college will make every attempt to advise students concerning upper-division requirements for the various majors, students are urged to become familiar with the requirements of the upper-division institutions to which they plan to transfer. Students must select 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 pursuing an AA degree in a fine arts area should consult with the discipline coordinators of their program for proper academic advisement: Dance, Tari Kendall, 395-5916; Music/Vocal, Lynn Sandefur, 381-3639; Music/Instrumental, Sheila Forrester, 381-3862, ext. 6317; Theatre, Terry Klenk, 395-5092; Technical Theatre, Owen Reynolds, 395-5985; Visual Arts, Matthew Newell, 395-5810.

Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree      

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

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

Demonstrate competency in a foreign language.

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

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

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

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, 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.

Quantitative Reasoning Understand and apply mathematical concepts and reasoning and analyze and interpret various types of data.

Attributes associated with attaining this outcome include the ability to:  Analyze/interpret quantitative data verbally, graphically, symbolically and numerically.  Communicate quantitative data verbally, graphically, symbolically and numerically.  Use mathematical concepts in problem-solving through integration of new material and modeling.

Global-Socio-Cultural Responsibility Demonstrate an understanding of diversity/pluralism in the world community and an awareness of civic and social participation and ethical and informed decision making (Humanities C and Social Sciences B).

Attributes associated with attaining this outcome include the ability to:  Analyze data, information and substantive content relevant to diversity and pluralism in the world;  Synthesize data, information and substantive content relevant to diversity and pluralism in the world;  Use data, information and substantive content related to diversity and pluralism in order to draw conclusions, propose solutions and make decisions.

General Education “Communications” Description and Rationale The Communications category of general education is designed to help students master the forms and conventions of the academic essay, and fluency in standard written English. Courses are designed to strengthen reading skills while teaching clear and effective written communication: the ability to organize and develop ideas effectively. Specifically, courses focus on essay organization, paragraph development, and basic writing strategies—including performing these tasks under time constraints.

Method Content is concentrated on developing communication skills. Students will learn effective reading, writing, speaking and listening skills through the discussion of reading assignments, multiple essay assessments, and peer review and collaborative exercises.

Criteria for courses The exchange of ideas between students and a regular interchange between instructor and student are crucial to the learning outcomes for this category; students will fail to meet minimal course requirements if they do not attend regularly. With that in mind, the English department requires that students attend at least 85% of the class meetings to receive credit for courses in the communications category. Because this course substantially depends on communication skills-- interactive class activities, in-class writing assignments, peer-response exercises, and a strict schedule of writing assignments that must be turned in on time--attendance is mandatory. Courses under this category must be writing intensive. To meet the writing intensive requirement, 70% of the final grade earned must come from formal written assignments. Because a major component of a writing intensive course is to provide feedback early and often, courses must include multiple written assignments.

Learning Outcomes Through various written assignments, students will be assessed for communication skills; successful communication involves expressing oneself within the conventions of a medium and working in many genres and styles. It can involve working in many different disciplines and technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.

General Education Humanities “Core Humanities” and “Fine Arts” Description and Rationale The Core Humanities Fine Arts category of General Education is designed to introduce students to both conventional academic as well as kinesthetic explorations of the Fine Arts. As such, courses in this category must have a strong emphasis on concepts key to each of the fine arts, including philosophical, aesthetic and methodological concepts of each individual form. Traditionally, the Fine Arts have included the study of visual arts, music, theatre and dance through the kinesthetic practice of their various forms along with the academic study of their respective cultural, historical, critical and theoretical contexts. Historically, public speaking is included in the Core Humanities Fine Arts General Education category, because of its emphasis on both rhetorical practice and academic critical analysis.

Method The Core Humanities Fine Arts category is concerned with the study and practice of its various disciplines, both by practical applications of theory in the studio as well as through student engagement within the traditional classroom setting. The study of recognized and experimental methods, historically established and contemporary viewpoints, represent ongoing explorations of the field in an ever changing global world.

Methods value lecture and demonstration, but also performance and improvisation, linear and non-linear thinking, the embracing of new technologies and an appreciation of evolving human relationships expressed by the form.

Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category must include substantial and broad coverage of defined theory and study of accepted and experimental methods and concepts most prevalent in the fine arts or in the study and practice of oral communications.

Both the Fine Arts and Humanities and Foreign Languages department requires participation and attendance. Courses oriented toward specialized topics may comprise valuable fine arts electives but should not be included in this category of core courses.

Learning Outcomes Through various assignments, students will be assessed for communication skills; successful communication involves expressing oneself within the conventions of a medium and working in many genres and styles. It can involve working in many different disciplines and technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.

General Education “Mathematics” Description and Rationale Courses in the Mathematics category of general education are designed to provide the educational climate and activities needed to help build basic mathematical literacy in every student and to foster intellectual independence. In an increasingly complex world, mathematical thinking, understanding, and skill are more important than ever. Many concepts will be introduced using real world data from various areas, and other concepts will be reinforced by applying them to problems in the areas of science, engineering, business, economics, and medicine, amongst others.

Method Intellectual independence and mathematical literacy are supported by emphasizing creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills while developing an understanding of both skills and concepts. In so doing, we are charged with creating a supportive learning environment while challenging students with high expectations of achievement.

Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category must support the following goals of the Math Department:  Engage students in sound mathematical thinking and reasoning. This should include students finding patterns, generalizing, and asking/answering relevant questions.  Provide a setting that prepares students to read and learn mathematics on their own.  Explore multiple representations of topics including graphical, symbolic, numerical, oral, and written. Encourage students to make connections among the various representations to gain a richer, more flexible understanding of each concept.  Analyze the structure of real-world problems and plan solution strategies. Solve the problems using appropriate tools.  Develop a mathematical vocabulary by expressing mathematical ideas orally and in writing.  Enhance and reinforce the students understanding of concepts through the use of technology when appropriate.

Learning Outcomes As a result of successfully completing a general education mathematics course, students should be able to demonstrate the following:  Analyze and interpret quantitative data verbally, graphically, symbolically and numerically.  Communicate quantitative data verbally, graphically, symbolically and numerically.  Appropriately integrate technology into mathematical processes.  Use mathematical concepts in problem-solving through integration of new material and modeling.

51

www.sfcollege.edu

General Education “Natural Science” Description and Rationale Courses in the Natural Science category of general education are designed to provide the educational climate and activities needed to help build basic science literacy in every student and to foster intellectual independence.

Method Intellectual independence is supported by emphasizing creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills while basic science literacy is gained through the facts and skills associated with training in the sciences. In so doing, we are charged with creating a personalized, supportive learning environment while challenging students to reach high standards of achievement.

Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category should be broad introductory courses that include a focus on the process of performing scientific investigations and the verification and authentication of published results. Courses narrowly focused on one aspect of the subject matter and should not be included in this general education category.

Learning Outcomes Students should gain the ability to demonstrate the following (with the level of proficiency variable with the level of the course).  The ability to engage in a scientific reasoning process (induction, deduction, hypothesis testing, etc.)  The proper use of key science concepts associated with the course  The application of science concepts presented/discussed in this course to human experience in everyday life  The proper use of mathematical tools  The ability to communicate their knowledge in both oral and written form appropriate to the discipline

General Education “Social Sciences” Description and Rationale The Core General Education Social Sciences category is designed to introduce students to the study of the larger historical and political world, the interaction of people and cultures, and the diversity of human experience. Thus the category is inherently multidisciplinary, encompassing a wide range of perspectives and methodologies that explore the behavior of individuals and societies, past and present. Traditionally, the social sciences include such disciplines as anthropology, economics, geography, psychology, sociology, political science, and history.

Method Core Social Sciences courses call upon students to analyze and synthesize information in an effort to instill knowledge within a discipline’s subject area. Such courses expose students to the research, concepts, and theoretical perspectives that can greatly increase their ability to understand and explain various aspects of human society. Ideally, the Core Social Sciences give students a substantial start in building a conceptual basis from which to interpret themselves and overall human behavior in an increasingly diverse, global society.

Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category must provide broad and substantial coverage of a traditional social science discipline. As a fundamental element of General Education, they should be introductory courses that survey the major issues, themes, and theoretical frameworks of a subject area. Courses that narrowly focus on a single aspect of a subject area, much like an upper-level course designed for college majors, should not be included in this general education category.

Learning Outcomes Through a variety of assignments, Core Social Sciences courses will assess the “Critical Thinking” General Education Learning Outcome.

According to the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) VALUE rubric, “critical thinking is a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion.”

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

Currently, Santa Fe College offers classes in American Sign Language, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish and may offer other languages as well. Through an agreement between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida, SF students may also be able to register for foreign

52

www.sfcollege.edu languages not offered at Santa Fe on a space available basis. For more information about languages offered at UF, please contact the Department of Humanities and Foreign Languages, Building P, room 152, or call 352-395-5075.

Gordon Rule Writing Courses The purpose of the Writing-Intensive requirement at Santa Fe College is to assist students refine their college-level writing skills. College-level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills in discussing a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appropriate diction, conventions, and rhetorical strategies.

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

Individual LAS Departments will be responsible for identifying appropriate types of “disciplined-based writing” assignments and providing any additional guidelines for writing intensive courses in the discipline. However, some assignments are unlikely to be suitable for these purposes.

For example, teamwork or writing done by a group or team and class notes are unlikely to satisfy the requirement.

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

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

Research and Analysis Research is a systematic process of identifying a topic and of exploring issues / objects / works through the collection and analysis of evidence that result in informed conclusions/ judgments. Analysis is the process of organizing and synthesizing evidence to reveal insightful patterns, differences, or similarities related to a focused topic. (AAC&U Inquiry and Analysis Value Rubric) Students in a Research and Analysis Course will develop a substantial discipline-based research project. Individual LAS Departments will be responsible for identifying appropriate types of “substantial disciplined-based research projects.” Research & Analysis courses will be writing intensive as described by the current definition of “writing intensive” As the General Education Learning Outcome for Research and Analysis Courses is Information Literacy, instructors must assess the student’s “ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly use and share that information for the problem at hand.” (AAC&U Information Literacy Value Rubric).

1

Note that the specification that the student be able to incorporate feedback into multiple assignments requires that the professor offer at least three writing assignments. Otherwise the student would not have more than one opportunity to incorporate instructor feedback. I do not know what the best number of assignments might be, I suspect that if there is a “best number of assignments,” it would vary between disciplines. Also, it is not clear to me that a word-count (no matter how high) would generate more assignments than the current wording.

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

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

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

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.

Santa Fe College offers a 1 ½ year, 1,050-contact hour program that consists of shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding (often called MIG), flux core arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding (often called TIG or Heliarc), gas welding, brazing and cutting, blueprint reading and power tool and equipment operation. The training helps prepare a student to pass nationally recognized welding certification tests.

Students in the Applied Welding Program must take one American Welding Society (AWS) Certification test as a requirement for graduation.

The test will be administered and evaluated by an AWS/CWI (AWS Certified Welding Inspector) at Santa Fe's accredited test facility.

Successful completion of the test would allow a student to carry the title of “certified welder.”

Scholarships will be awarded annually to provide financial assistance to eligible graduating high school seniors from Alachua and Bradford counties who attend Santa Fe College. Call 352-395-5362 for more details on scholarships.

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

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

Students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. The length of most of the programs is four years 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.

New trainees for all apprenticeship programs must first complete the core curriculum, which provides a basic introduction to construction skills and covers the following:  Basic Safety  Introduction to Construction Mathematics  Introduction to Hand Tools  Introduction to Power Tools  Introduction to Blueprints  Basic Riggings

Cardiovascular Technology Director Sharon Whitcraft Faculty J. Cannaday, M. Chesser, E. Hushelpeck, L. Decubellis Cardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from some of the most serious health problems in the United States today—stroke, heart, and vascular disease.

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 in 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 works alongside the physician performing invasive diagnostic exams.

Additionally the technologists assist the physician with interventional procedures, such as angioplasty, stent deployment, pacemaker implantation and other advanced procedures designed to alleviate cardiac anomalies.

Cardiac Ultrasound In the non-invasive cardiology laboratory, the technologist works independently to use ultrasound technology to create diagnostic images of the heart. The cardiac ultrasound or echocardiogram can identify anatomical structures, both normal and abnormal, and display cardiac function.

Associated tests include exercise stress testing, 3D echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography.

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.

Respiratory Care – Associate in 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 Respiratory care Program at Santa Fe College (#200215) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www.coarc.org) to award an Associate in Science Degree in Respiratory Care at its Northwest Campus.

Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care 1248 Harwood Road Bedford TX, 76021-4244, (817) 283-2835.

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

Surgical Technology Department Chair, Allied Health Programs Sharon Whitcraft Program Director 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.

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.

CJK0065 V CALLS FOR SERVICE (1.2) Most law enforcement officers spend the majority of their time patrolling an assigned area. While patrolling, officers will respond to a variety of calls for service, which will vary between noncriminal and criminal incidents. A noncriminal call for service may range from a request for information to performing a security check of a structure. Criminal calls for service are any incidents involving an alleged violation of criminal law. This chapter provides an overview of the more common calls for service that an officermay encounter.

Officers must maintain professionalism and situational awar eness at all times when responding to any call for service.

CJK0071 V FL CMS BASIC LE RECRUIT TRAINING 2008-CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS (1.9) This course is the Criminal Investigations section of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission new basic law enforcement recruit training program. CMS BRT program, version 2008. This is course 8.

CJK0077 V CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS (1.6) An officer’s role has grown beyond the traditional law enforcement duties to fulfilling the ever-changing needs of the community. It is a common occurrence to hear someone state that officers are “a jack of all trades.” Officers perform their duties and withstand intense scrutiny from the media, professional standard review boards, and the court of public opinion. Of all the tasks assigned to a law enforcement officer, none is more important than conducting an impartial investigation to bring a suspect to justice. This is the main reason officers have earned the public’s trust over years of service. The quality of an investigation will undergo scrutiny beginning with the supervisor’s review of the initial report and ending with the appeal process. Officers must conduct each investigation with attention to accuracy, detail, and professionalism.

Officers will establish a reputation in court and in public based upon the quality of their work.

CJK0078C V CRIME SCENE TO COURTROOM (1.2) Upon arriving at an incident or crime scene, an officer will take a sequence of steps to protect all parties: gather information; identify, separate, and interview subjects; and complete the initial investigation successfully. The single most significant part of the initial stage of a criminal investigation is the processing of the crime scene. Identify types of evidence that might be present at a scene, based on an evaluation of the incident or type of crime. Know when and how to get help in searching the scene. The first priority is to secure, protect, and preserve the scene to avoid contaminating the evidence. The second priority must be to search for, identify, document, collect, and maintain the physical evidence, or the prosecution ofthe suspect may be in jeopardy. Victims and witnesses must be located, identified, and separated to obtain detailed information about what happened. Identify and arrest the offender if he or she is on the scene. If the offender has fled, initiate a Be On the Look Out (BOLO). Often, law enforcementofficers think that the 185

www.sfcollege.edu

arrest is the end of their participation in a criminal case; however, an arrest is only a suspect's entrance into the criminal justice system. Officers remain an integral part of the prosecution process until the case is resolved through entry of a plea, a conviction, or an acquittal after trial.

CJK0084 V DUI TRAFFIC STOPS (0.8) Law enforcement officers make numerous traffic stops daily. All too often, drivers are impaired by the use of alcohol or drugs, making them a hazard to themselves and other motorists. This chapter will train officers to detect impaired driving, administer field sobriety tests, make arrests when appropriate, and record the evidence of a DUI offense.

CJK0087 V TRAFFIC STOPS (1) An officer’s primary responsibility in making traffic stops is to encourage voluntary compliance with traffic laws and improve driver judgment and future behavior. The end results of traffic stops should be driver education and safer roads.

CJK0088C V TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATIONS (1.1) Law enforcement officers conduct traffic crash investigations by following a step-by-step approach that encompasses the initial response to the scene, scene assessment and protection, the identification and analysis of information gathered from witnesses, the thorough investigation of the crash, the evaluation of physical evidence collected, returning the crash scene to normal, taking appropriate enforcement action, and documenting the crash.

CJK0092 V CRITICAL INCIDENTS (1.4) Officers must be prepared to address many situations in the course of patrolling their assigned areas. This chapter provides an overview of law enforcement techniques and tactics employed in confronting large scale or critical incidents. One of the techniques used to maintain organization and complete response objectives is the Incident Command System (ICS). ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards approach to incident management that integrates the operation of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications under a common organizational structure. There are many types of large-scale situations that an officer may encounter in relation to critical incidents. These include active shooters, natural disasters, hazardous materials exposure, explosive devices, and weapons of mass destruction.

CJK0200 V OVERVIEW OF CORRECTIONS (0.5) Like a judge is to the court and police officers are to the streets, correctional officers are the most important members of the correctional system. Correctional Officers are responsible for their own safety and that of others. An officer's personal perspective, based on his or her culture, heritage, values, and ethics, affects his or her decisions that, in turn, impact the well-being of others. This training program will expose students to the most critical features of being a correctional officer in a Florida jail or state correctional institution.
