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.

History of the CollegeSanta Fe Community College was established by the state government in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education. Florida's legislature, governor and Department of Education were responding to a request from the Alachua and Bradford County Boards of Public Instruction, which had canvassed the area and learned that the community would be well served if all citizens had the opportunity for an education and better life.
Since then, SFCC has established programs and services that enable the college to carry out its mission of educational opportunity, responsiveness to the community 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, more than 16,000 students take credit classes and 12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are given at the Northwest Campus, Andrews Center in Starke, Blount Center in downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer and Watson Center in Keystone Heights. A cen-ter for the Alachua area is planned.
The Northwest Campus, which opened in 1972, is set on 175 acres in Gainesville next to Interstate 75. The Andrews Center opened in 1985 in the renovated Bradford County Courthouse, and expanded in 1991 with the addition of the restored Cultural Building and again in 2001 with the addition of the Lillian Stump Center. The Blount Center opened in 1990 in the renovated 6th Street railroad depot, expanded in 1993 with the addition of the renovated Gainesville Gas Co. Building, and again in 2006 with the Blount Classroom Building. The Davis Center opened in 2004. The Watson Center opened in 2005 with a second building opening in 2006. All the centers were built with funds raised in community drives headed by the SFCC Endowment Corp. and operate to bring educational opportunity to residents in SFCC’s Alachua-Bradford County service district.
The college has expanded education programs by increasing the number of classes offered by electronic means such as the Internet, cable television, videocassettes and live broadcasts to the SFCC centers. More than 3,000 students take Internet classes through the Open Campus.
SFCC 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 on Jan. 1, 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.
The growth and expansion of the college have two main causes: educational pro-grams that are designed to meet the needs of students and a helpful learning envi-ronment that enables students to do their best.
Educational offerings are primarily the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science and Community Education programs. The Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students in this pro-gram intend to transfer to four-year colleges or universities. SFCC sends more stu-dents to the University of Florida than does any other institution, with 2,500 trans-ferring to UF each year. Many former SFCC students go to other four-year schools, public and private, in and out of state.
The Associate of Science degree and certificate programs, called Technology and Applied Sciences, consist generally of vocational programs that prepare students for 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 go on to further higher education. Community Education offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth. In all its credit programs, the college offers classes in several schedule formats to meet the needs of students.
Classes are offered to suit the schedules of students. In addition to full semesters, SFCC has classes in a half semester format and evening and 7 a.m. classes. Weekend classes are planned.
SFCC's Kirkpatrick Criminal Justice Training Center educates law enforcement and corrections officer recruits and offers programs to retrain sworn officers. The Kirkpatrick Center also trains students in the Emergency Medical Services, Fire Sciences and Aviation Sciences programs. The college is dedicated to economic development, and its Center for Business custom designs short and long courses for professionals, business, industry and government.
The student centered learning environment at SFCC is sustained by a network of counselors, advisors and helpful programs. Academic advisors give advice on class-es to take. The student development offices help students decide upon a career or further higher education. Academic support programs offer tutoring and personal attention to help if students have difficulty in a subject.
Campus life is rounded out with a student government, student clubs, activities and intramural athletics. The college competes intercollegiately in women's fastpitch softball, men's baseball, and men's and women's basketball.
SFCC offers many cultural activities to enrich the community's quality of life. The Santa Fe Gallery, located at the Northwest Campus, features local and contemporary artists. Concerts, plays and dance performances offer students experience in the performing arts and enrich the cultural life of the community. The Dance Theatre of Santa Fe and Theatre Santa Fe hold numerous performances annually both on cam-pus and at the Phillips Center, serving both the college and the public. Music Santa Fe sponsors workshops and performances in diverse musical traditions, and the col-lege's annual Shakespeare Festival has grown into a large community event. SFCC's annual Spring Arts Festival attracts 130,000 visitors to Gainesville and is one of the community's largest economic events. Santa Fe's Starke Fall Festival is a significant arts and economic event in Bradford County.
The college also presents sciences to the public. A planetarium is scheduled to open in fall 2006. The Jean Klein rock garden is a series of boulders arranged in geological order with interpretative plaques and a geological atrium housing rocks, fossils and exhibits.
Santa Fe's Teaching Zoo is the only community college teaching zoo in the nation and attracts 35,000 visitors per year. The college recently opened to students and researchers its Geological Studies Field Station, a large network of caverns near Newberry in rural Alachua County.
League for Innovation in the Community CollegeSanta Fe Community College is a charter member of the League for Innovation in the Community College. The League consists of more than 750 institutions from 11 different countries are members.
The League, founded in 1968, is an educational consortium that functions specifi-cally 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 sections 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 continu-ing improvement of member colleges, but also to providing opportunities for other community colleges to participate in its workshops, conferences, projects, and activities.
Outreach Centers and ProgramsAndrews Center
In 1983, the historic courthouse in Bradford County and some of the surrounding properties were contributed to and purchased by the Santa Fe Community College Endowment Corporation to establish a major academic center in Starke, Florida. This $2.5 million asset includes a turn-of-the-century facility that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Renovation of the historic courthouse was the responsibility of the Endowment Corporation, which restored the interior to accom-modate classrooms, laboratories, offices, a study room and student lounge. In addi-tion to enhanced educational and cultural opportunities for all citizens of Bradford County, the Andrews Center is an integral part of downtown redevelopment and restoration.
In the spring of 1991, the Andrews Center Cultural building, a century old struc-ture in downtown Starke, was renovated by private donations to the Endowment Corporation. The $700,000 renovation project provides the college and the commu-nity with a performing arts auditorium/theater seating 155 people, a facility for the Eugene L. Matthews Historical Museum, and additional classroom and office space for a growing Andrews Center.
In the fall of 2002, the Lillian Stump Education Center opened to provide the Andrews Center with an approximately 4,000 square foot new facility, which includes four major college classrooms and faculty and staff office space. The Stump Education Center, a $400,000 project of the Endowment Corporation, enhances the Andrews Center's dual enrollment program with Bradford County High School and provides classroom space for college level courses, as well as community and con-tinuing education classes.
Blount Center
In 1988 the City of Gainesville deeded the old train depot on NW 6th Street to the SFCC Endowment Corporation for the purpose of establishing an educational center that would be accessible to those living in and around the downtown area. Renovation of the old train station was the responsibility of the Endowment Corporation. All funds for this project came from the private sector and involved the establishment of a major steering committee composed of approximately 20 business and community leaders who served as "ambassadors of good will" throughout the community.
In the spring of 1993 the SFCC Endowment Corporation purchased the old Gainesville Gas Co. Building located on the corner of NW 6th Street and West University Avenue. Renovation of the building was completed in the fall of 1993. The project provided the center an opportunity to expand student services and pro-vide additional upper level classes to our increased student population. In addition

to the enhancement of services and classes, the Phase II site houses the learning labs, information commons, study-reference area and an art classroom.
In December 1993 the Downtown Center was named for Charles L. Blount, its major contributor and fund raiser with more than $3 million contributed to establish the center. Charles Blount and his wife Patsy established a $3 million scholarship pro-gram at the college. The Blount Center has several purposes:
•To provide an outreach center and educational training facility for the citizens in the central Gainesville area
•To provide training programs for major businesses, small businesses and industry in the downtown area
•To provide training and educational programs for existing employees of the city and county government that occupy the downtown complex
•To provide an opportunity for community meeting rooms at no cost to civic clubs, business and professional groups, and underserved populations
An opportunity for a college education is offered at the Charles L. Blount Center by means of a variety of college credit classes Monday through Thursday evenings. These college classes, along with the regular day classes, make it easier for individu-als to fit a college class into their busy schedules.
The SFCC Center for Business and Professional Development provides short-term, non-credit "training for excellence" for people or companies desiring improvement of skills. The center houses the Center for Business and Industry, the Continuing Professional Education division, and the Computer Institute.
Davis Center
In the fall of 2003, the Ron and Norita Davis and Family Davis Center opened to assist people in the southwestern part of Alachua County and the surrounding Archer area to enroll in classes rather than having to journey 21 plus miles to the Northwest Gainesville Campus.
The over 10,000 square foot facility includes six general classrooms, a computer lab, ITV classroom, a community boardroom, faculty and staff offices, and a community/common meeting room.
The Santa Fe Community College Davis Center facility was made possible by a major contribution from Ron and Norita Davis, and the Davis family, who made a substantial contribution of in-kind and property totaling approximately $500,000 (20 plus acres of land) and a $600,000 cash gift for a total of $1.1 million. A community-wide leadership of individuals and organizations to provide additional funding for the establishment of the Davis Center was comprised of more than 26 community leaders.
The Davis Center will promote advancement and enhancement of higher education and potential vocational training programs in Archer and the surrounding area.

Watson Center
In January of 2005 the Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson Center opened to assist students in southeast Bradford County and the surrounding Keystone Heights-Lake Region area. The first building includes six general education class-rooms, a computer lab, community boardroom, faculty and staff offices, community/common meeting area and an office for the Bradford County Constitutional Officers and Sheriff. The second building opened in January 2006 with six additional general education classrooms, faculty offices and a state-of-the-art science laboratory.
The Santa Fe Community College Watson Center facility was made possible by Mr. Watson’s total donation of $3.4 million. Mr. Watson’s commitment to the college was further demonstrated by his generous gift which resulted in the establishment of a $1.4 million permanently endowed Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson Scholarship.
The Watson Center will promote the advancement of higher education for southeast Bradford County and the Keystone Heights-Lake Region area.
Open CampusBeginning in the fall semester of 1998, the college made credit courses available to students "any place, any time" through the Internet. These courses are administered through the Open Campus, located in P-237 on the Northwest Campus. A wide selection of courses is available to help students complete A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees or Technology and Applied Sciences certificates. All courses carry credit equal to the same courses taught in traditional classrooms at any SFCC campus loca-tion. Students interact with their instructor and classmates using discussion boards, email, and online chats within the class itself. Most courses are designed so they can be completed without having to attend classes on any campus at a fixed time or place. Some instructors may require attendance on campus for testing, but arrange-ments can be made for this at remote sites.
Because Open Campus classes offer the convenience and flexibility of attending col-lege from a personal computer via the Internet, students can continue their educa-tion while still managing a job, family activities or other classes. The calendar is the same as for traditionally delivered classes, starting and ending on the same dates. However, students can set their daily work schedule by connecting to the course materials and activities via the Web whenever it is convenient and from anywhere the Internet can be accessed.
Above all, self-discipline and motivation are integral components for success in Open Campus classes. Students need some previous computer experience with a high level of competency in Web-browsing, file management, word processing and email. The courses are designed to run with current computer technology and stu-dents will need good, dependable access to the Internet. Prospective students should complete the Learner Profile available on the Open Campus Web site: http://www2.sfcc.edu/~opencampus.

No Sixty Plus waivers are available for Continuing Education classes.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)Students who complete courses in the Continuing Education program earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). CEUs are generated when a student com-pletes a non-credit activity; they are not transferable for college credit. CEUs are standardized, based on the number of hours a class is taught. CEUs allow profes-sional organizations and certifying agencies to grant recognition for participation in a Continuing Education class that fosters professional growth. The college keeps a record of each student’s CEUs and transcripts are available on request. Please visit the Continuing Education Program at http://www.mysfcc.com.
Community Education Program (Non-Credit)Santa Fe Community College is dedicated to lifelong learning. Community Education at SFCC provides educational opportunities to all members of the com-munity through enrichment programs. These programs, offered at the campuses, online, and in community schools, present classes taught by community members and SFCC faculty and staff who enjoy bringing their special skills to interested stu-dents. Community Education also offers College for Kids, a summer camp program for rising 6-10 graders. Community Education non-credit courses are available to anyone in the community, regardless of race, color, creed, sex or marital status, although some classes may have special age limits or other requirements. The classes have no college admission requirements. Because the Community Education program is self-supporting, there are no scholarships or waivers, except for persons over 60 when a class meets certain requirements.

Academic Advisement
Academic Advisement - Associate of Arts Degree
http://admin.sfcc.edu/~aar/
Santa Fe Community College is committed to quality academic advising for all stu-dents. The academic advising mission is to assist students in the attainment of their educational goals. The Office of Academic Advisement is responsible for acting as an information and referral center with timely and accurate information for students regarding AA degree graduation requirements. Advisors help AA students plan their program of study in preparation for transfer to a four-year university. All new students (first-time in college and transfer) must attend orientation (online or on campus) before they meet with an academic advisor. Current and returning students are required to access their degree audit through eSantafe or to see an advisor each semester for academic planning.
Location: R-201 (NW Campus), phone: 395-5503 Advising Hours: Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Friday from 1:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. No appointments; students are seen on a walk-in basis. Advisors are also available at the branch campuses.
Associate of Arts DegreeIf you intend to transfer to one of Florida’s state universities, the Associate of Arts degree (AA degree) is the transferable degree. The AA degree contains the general education portion (lower division) of the baccalaureate degree. In order to assist us in advising you properly, please make sure you have indicated which university you wish to transfer to and what major you would like to study. It is extremely helpful to have your academic program fully planned no later than the beginning of the second term. If you have not chosen a major, it would be helpful for you to select an area of interest so that the Advisement Office can give you specific information about the university and major of your choice. Selecting a major does not commit you to that selection; you can change your major at any time by seeing an academic advisor in R-201 or by going to eSantafe and selecting “change major.” If you are undecided, please contact a career counselor in Building S Room 255 (Counseling Center). Beginning fall term, 2002, entering freshmen must have a major indicated by the completion of 24 credit hours.

spublic school. Private and home school students (not affiliated with a public school) must purchase their own college textbooks. School bus transportation and the free and reduced lunch program are also available to those students affiliated with an Alachua County public school.
1. Technology and Applied Science Dual Enrollment Selected eleventh and twelfth grade students who qualify through the CPT,
SAT, or ACT enroll in Technology and Applied Sciences Programs on campus. Once accepted, students register for our full-time program enrolling in college technology, high school and/or college academic coursework to fulfill high school graduation requirements. There are over 30 career related areas from which students may choose a major. (Technical programs not offered at the Bradford Vocational Technical Center are available to Bradford High School juniors and seniors.)
2. College Academic Dual Enrollment Juniors and seniors who qualify through the CPT, SAT, ACT, and GPA are eli-
gible to become full-time College Academic Dual Enrollment students. These students take all college academic courses which lead toward an Associate of Arts degree. College courses also meet high school graduation requirements. All Associate of Arts degree coursework offered through Dual Enrollment is transferable to the State University System.
3. Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Juniors and seniors may enroll in the full-time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment
Program. All students must qualify through the CPT, SAT, or ACT. Once accepted, students register for College Fine Arts, high school and/or college academic coursework to fulfill high school graduation requirements. College Fine Arts courses also apply toward an Associate of Arts degree. College place-ment scores determine eligibility for college level work. Fine Arts students select a major and enroll in courses in the areas of studio art, music, dance or theatre.
4. Part-Time Academic Dual Enrollment Academically eligible seniors may take college level courses and apply
the credit toward high school graduation and an Associate of Arts degree. Eligibility is based on a combination of college placement test scores and GPA. The college course load is dependent on the number of classes a student is registered for at the high school. (Bradford County students in grades nine to twelve may participate in this option.)
5. Part-Time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Eligible eleventh and twelfth grade high school students may enroll in col-
lege studio art, dance, music or theatre. Credit earned will apply toward high school graduation and an Associate of Arts degree.
6. Early Admission This option is available to seniors. Students attend Santa Fe on a full-time basis
and are registered in college courses that apply toward a high school diploma and an A.A. degree. Eligibility is based on a 3.5 GPA and a college level score on the ACT, SAT, or CPT as well as additional entrance criteria.
The CPT test is administered at Santa Fe Community College and is free to stu-dents who apply to the Dual Enrollment Program.Information concerning the application process can be obtained from the High School Dual Enrollment Office in building R, room 5 or by calling (352) 395-5490. Applications for fall enrollment will be accepted beginning in January. Notification of acceptance begins the end of May. The program fills quickly, so students should submit an application and college placement test results as early as possible.

s Placement and Orientation
PlacementSanta Fe Community College has a comprehensive assessment and placement program to help students succeed in college. Rule 6A-10.315, College Preparatory Testing, Placement and Instruction, states that first-time-in-college applicants for admission into degree programs shall be tested for reading, writing and math-ematics proficiency prior to the completion of initial registration, using the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test (CPT). 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 College Entry-Level Placement Test. In compliance with this state law, SFCC adheres to the following assessment procedures:
1. Students who submit no entry test scores will take the reading, writing and mathematics subtests of the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test (Computerized Placement Tests-CPT) prior to registration. Course placement will be based on these test scores. These scores are valid for two years prior to initial registration. 2. Students who submit scores on the SAT or E-ACT that do not meet or exceed college level placement scores in reading, writing and mathematics will take the complete College Entry Level Placement Test (Computerized Placement Tests-CPT). Official course placement will be based on the CPT test scores. The SAT and E-ACT or CPT scores must be no more than two years old. 3. Degree-seeking students who submit official scores on the SAT or E-ACT that meet or exceed college level placement scores in all areas are exempt from any additional entry assessment, provided that scores are no more than two years old. However, the College-Level Math (CLM) portion of the CPT must be taken to ascertain proper college-level math placement. 4. Students who are transferring from another college will follow steps 1, 2, or 3, when applicable, or present official documentation of passing grades in the highest level of college prep or college level reading, writing and/ or mathematics courses. Official course placement will be based on test scores and/ or transfer course work.
Test scores from this testing procedure will be entered on the student record and will automatically generate appropriate flags.
Students who achieve the designated score on the CPT Elementary Algebra Test will take the CLM for college-level mathematics placement. Transfer students who have not completed their college-level mathematics requirements must take the CLM. Note: Test scores that are more than two years old are not acceptable for entry course placement. New students or readmit students will take the computer literacy examination as part of their entry.
The purpose of college entry assessment is to determine the appropriate courses for which students should enroll when they enter the college. Students who score below the state designated level for placement into college level courses are required to enroll in appropriate college preparatory courses. These courses earn institutional credit; however, they are not counted as required or elective credit for the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree.

sStudents with college level reading and English placement scores will enroll in College Composition (ENC1101). College Composition is required of all first semes-ter students pursuing an Associate of Arts degree or enrolling in general education courses. Associate of Science degree candidates may have a different freshman English requirement.
Orientation
New Student OrientationAttending orientation is one of the most important things you can do to get started on the right foot in college. Orientation is where you’ll meet other new students, learn about college policies and procedures, talk with an academic advisor, and reg-ister for courses. Students are invited to orientation upon completion of the place-ment testing requirement. For more information, visit the orientation Web site at http://admin.sfcc.edu/~orientation/.
Admissions CriteriaHigh school graduation (college-ready or standard diploma) or a high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state Board of Education is required of all applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SFCC with four exceptions:
• Non-high school graduates 18 years of age, or older students possessing cer-tificates of completion, are eligible to enroll for certain certificate courses only.
• Early admission students will be accepted only from the college district upon the recommendation of the Alachua or Bradford County School Boards in accordance with the regulations set by those organizations.
• Alachua or Bradford County senior high school students are permitted to enroll in individual credit courses on recommendation of their high school principals. Specific units of high school preparation are not required, but stu-dents should have completed courses in English, social studies, mathematics and the natural sciences.
• In the case of a student who is home educated, a signed affidavit submitted by the student’s parent or legal guardian attesting that the student has completed a home education program pursuant to the requirements of s. 232.02(4) is required. This affidavit may be obtained in the Office of Admissions (Building R, room 112).
The following documents are required as part of the admissions process: • Completed application for admission form (with non-refundable application
fee). Note: International students with a non-immigrant visa must contact the International Student Services Office for an International Student application.
• Official high school transcript (college-ready or standard diploma) or GED diploma.
Transfer students (those students who have attended any postsecondary institution) must furnish a complete official transcript or record from each institution attended. Credits for any course taken at another regionally accredited institution will be transferred, provided a grade of D or better was obtained. Grades of D or lower will not be accepted to satisfy requirements for any college preparatory or Gordon Rule course.

s In accordance with §1001.64(8)(a), F.S., Santa Fe Community College may consider the past actions of any person applying for admission or enrollment and may deny admission or enrollment to an applicant because of misconduct if determined to be in the best interest of the college. Santa Fe reserves the right to refuse admission or re-enrollment or to place conditions on admission or re-enrollment of applicants and students whom Santa Fe determines would be disruptive of the orderly process of the college’s programs, would interfere with the rights and privileges of other students or employees, and/or would represent a safety risk to Santa Fe students, employees or property. Applicants/students have the right to appeal any decision to the Vice President for Student Affairs within ten calendar days of the date the notice was received.
Transient StudentsStudents attending other postsecondary institutions who wish to take courses at Santa Fe Community College and transfer the credit back to their institutions may be admitted to Santa Fe as transient students. These students should apply for admission and pay the application fee. They are also required to present a transient form or any official statement from their institution that they are in good standing and that the credits earned will be accepted as part of their degree program at the home institution. In order for a transient student to be exempt from prerequisites, the transient letter must list the courses the student is authorized to take.
Deadlines and TranscriptsSFCC requires official transcripts from all entering students as a part of the applica-tion for admission. Transcripts should be on file with the Office of Admissions prior to registration. This includes high school transcripts for entering freshmen and col-lege transcripts for students transferring from other colleges or universities. Transfer students with less than 60 credit hours from previous institutions must also provide high school transcripts.
The deadline for applying to the college, with all supporting documents for any given term, is the last day of late registration published each term in the college course registration guide. This date is subject to change without notice. Please refer to the Enrollment Services Web site for updated information regarding admissions deadlines.
All students are strongly encouraged to apply early and complete all registration procedures before the first day of class.
Family and Student Educational RightsIn accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Florida Statutes (Privacy Rights of Parents and Students), the college has identified as "directory information" a student's name, local address, telephone number, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. This information is available to the public. Other informa-tion about students can be released only when a written authorization, signed by the student, is presented to the college.
�1

sAny student who does not want this directory information released must file a directory information exclusion request with the Office of Records (Building R, room 101). Upon written request from a student, the custodians of educational records will insure that all access rights specified by this act will be accorded within three business days after a request has been made.
Each semester, the college prepares a listing containing the name, address, and tele-phone number of each student enrolled. Copies of that listing are occasionally made available to companies who wish to contact SFCC students. Any student who wants his or her information excluded from the college directory must file the request before the first day of class for the full term. A directory exclusion request will remain in effect until rescinded in writing by the student. Names of students who have requested directory exclusion will not be printed in the commencement book for the graduation ceremony.
The college has designated the following individuals, by virtue of their responsibili-ties, as custodians of educational records:
Vice President for Student Affairs Portia Taylor
College Registrar Lynn Sullivan
If students wish to challenge the accuracy of their educational records, questions may be settled through informal hearings or upon the request of either party (the educational institution or the eligible student) through formal proceedings which will be conducted in compliance with this statute. These procedures are intended to apply only to challenges to the accuracy of institutional records containing the grade assigned. Thus, eligible students could seek to correct an improperly recorded grade, but could not, through the hearing requested pursuant to this law, contest whether the teacher should have assigned a higher grade because the parents or stu-dent believe that the student was entitled to a higher grade.
Parents or guardians desiring access to the records of a student who is their depen-dent should ask the student to grant permission in writing to the college. Without written permission from the student, the parents or guardians must certify in writ-ing to the Office of Records that the student is economically dependent upon them as defined by Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and must document this dependency by providing a copy of the previous year's income tax return.
Residence ClassificationFor the purpose of assessing matriculation and tuition fees, a student shall be clas-sified as a “resident” or “non-resident” based upon Florida Statute 1009.21. A complete copy of the state statute follows. Please contact the Office of Enrollment Services if you have questions about your initial residency classification or the Records Office if you would like to petition to reclassify your residency status.
1009.21 Determination of resident status for tuition purposesStudents shall be classified as residents or non-residents for the purpose of assessing tuition fees in public community colleges and universities.

s (1) As defined under this section: • The term “dependent child” means any person, whether or not living with his
parent, who is eligible to be claimed by his parent as a dependent under the Federal Income Tax Code.
• The term “institution of higher education” means any of the constituent institutions under the jurisdiction of the State University System or the State Community College System.
• A “legal resident” or “resident” is a person who maintained his residence in this state for the preceding year, has purchased a home which is occupied by him as his residence, or has established a domicile in this state pursuant to 222.17.
• The term “parent” means the natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of a dependent child. Example: A “resident for tuition purposes” is a person who qualifies as provided in subsection (2) for the in-state tuition rate; a “non-resi-dent for tuition purposes” is a person who does not qualify for the in-state tuition rate.
(2) To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes: • A person or, if that person is a dependent child, his parent or parents must
have established legal residence in this state for at least 12 months immediately prior to his qualification.
• Every applicant for admission to an institution of higher education shall be required to make a statement as to his length of residence in this state and, fur-ther, shall establish that his presence or, if he is a dependent child, the presence of his parent or parents in the state currently is, and during the requisite 12-month qualifying period was, for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide domi-cile, rather than for the purpose of maintaining a mere temporary residence or abode incident to enrollment in an institution of higher education.
• However, with respect to a dependent child living with an adult relative other than the child’s parent, such child may qualify as a resident for tuition purpos-es if the adult relative is a legal resident who has maintained legal residence in this state for at least 12 months immediately prior to the child’s qualification, provided the child has resided continuously with such relative for the 5 years immediately prior to the child’s qualification, during which time the adult rela-tive has exercised day-to-day care, supervision, and control of the child.
• The legal residence of a dependent child whose parents are divorced, sepa-rated, or otherwise living apart will be deemed to be this state if either parent is a legal resident of this state, regardless of which parent is entitled to claim, and does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent pursuant to federal individual income tax provisions.
(3) An individual shall not be classified as a resident for tuition purposes and, thus, shall not be eligible to receive the in-state tuition rate until he has provided such evidence related to legal residence and its duration as may be required by officials of the institution of higher education from which he seeks the in-state tuition rate.
(4) With respect to a dependent child, the legal residence of such individual’s parent or parents is prima facie evidence of the individual’s legal residence, which evidence may be reinforced or rebutted, relative to the age and general circumstances of the individual, by the other evidence of legal residence required of or presented by the individual. However, the legal residence of an individual whose parents are domi-ciled outside this state is not prima facie evidence of the individual’s legal residence if that individual has lived in this state for 5 consecutive years prior to enrolling or reregistering at the institution of higher education at which resident status for tuition purposes is sought.

s (5) In making a domiciliary determination related to the classification of a person as a resident or nonresident for tuition purposes, the domicile of a married person, irrespective of sex, shall be determined, as in the case of an unmarried person, by reference to all relevant evidence of domiciliary intent. For the purposes of this section:
• A person shall not be precluded from establishing or maintaining legal resi-dence in this state and subsequently qualifying or continuing to qualify as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage to a person domi-ciled outside this state, even when that person’s spouse continues to be domi-ciled outside of this state, provided such person maintains his legal residence in this state.
• A person shall not be deemed to have established or maintained legal resi-dence in this state and subsequently to have qualified or continued to qualify as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage to a person domiciled in this state.
• In determining the domicile of a married person, irrespective of sex, the fact of the marriage and the place of domicile of such person’s spouse shall be deemed relevant evidence to be considered in ascertaining domiciliary intent.
(6) Any nonresident person, irrespective of sex, who marries a legal resident of this state or marries a person who later becomes a legal resident may, upon becom-ing a legal resident of this state, accede to the benefit of the spouse’s immediately precedent duration as a legal resident for purposes of satisfying the 12-month durational requirement of this section.
(7) A person shall not lose his resident status for tuition purposes solely by reason of serving, or if such person is a dependent child, by reason of his parent or parents’ serving, in the armed forces outside this state.
(8) A person who has been properly classified as a resident for tuition purposes but who, while enrolled in an institution of higher education in this state, loses his resident tuition status because he or, if he is a dependent child, his parent or par-ents establish domicile or legal residence elsewhere, shall continue to enjoy the in-state tuition rate for a statutory grace period, which period shall be measured from the date on which the circumstances arose that culminated in the loss of resident tuition status and shall continue for 12 months. However, if the 12-month grace period ends during a semester or academic term for which such former resi-dent is enrolled, such grace period shall be extended to the end of that semester or academic term.
(9) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or who graduates from an institution of higher education while classified as a resident for tuition purposes and who sub-sequently abandons his domicile in this state shall be permitted to re-enroll at an institution of higher education in this state as a resident for tuition purposes with-out the necessity of meeting the 12-month durational requirement of this section if that person has re-established his domicile in this state within 12 months of such abandonment and continuously maintains the re-establishment domicile during the period of enrollment. The benefit of this subsection shall not be accorded more than once to any one person.
(10) The following persons shall be classified as residents for tuition purposes: (a) Active duty members of the armed services of the United States residing or
stationed in this state, their spouses, and dependent children, and active mem-bers of the Florida National Guard who qualify under s. 250.10(7) and (8) for the tuition assistance program.

(b) Active duty members of the armed services of the United States and their spouses and dependents attending a public community college or state univer-sity within 50 miles of the military establishment where they are stationed, if such military establishment is within a county contiguous to Florida.
(c) United States citizens living on the Isthmus of Panama, who have completed 12 consecutive months of college work at the Florida State University Panama Canal Branch, and their spouses and dependent children.
(d) Full-time instructional and administrative personnel employed by state public schools, community colleges, and institutions of higher education, as defined in s. 1000.04, and their spouses and dependent children.
(e) Students from Latin America and the Caribbean who receive scholarships from the federal or state government. Any student classified pursuant to this paragraph shall attend, on a full-time basis, a Florida institution of higher edu-cation.
(f) Southern Regional Education Board’s Academic Common Market graduate students attending Florida’s state universities.
(g) Full-time employees of state agencies or political subdivisions of the state when the student fees are paid by the state agency or political subdivision for the purpose of job-related law enforcement or corrections training.
(h) McKnight Doctoral Fellows and Finalists who are United States citizens. (i) United States citizens living outside the United States who are teaching at a
Department of Defense Dependent School or in an American International School and who enroll in a graduate level education program which leads to a Florida teaching certificate.
(j) Active duty members of the Canadian military residing or stationed in this state under the North American Air Defense (NORAD) agreement, and their spouses and dependent children, attending a community college or state uni-versity within 50 miles of the military establishment where they are stationed.

Petitions for reclassification of residency status and all necessary accompanying documentation must be submitted to the Records Office before the first day of class for the term in which residency status is sought. Retroactive changes and refunds for prior terms will not be made.
Student Course LoadsA 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 term at SFCC, except with special permission. Students seeking permission to enroll in additional course work may inquire at the Records Office (Building R, room 101). Permission is granted by the Associate Vice President of Liberal Arts and Sciences or a designee..

Audit FeesAny student in the college may elect to audit a college credit 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, applica-tion fees, laboratory fees and special fees as credit students.
Computer Access PolicyIn the 21st Century, ongoing use of an Internet-connected computer is a requirement for successful completion of college programs. Santa Fe Community College expects and requires that all students acquire access to the computer hardware and software necessary for their programs. The cost of meeting this requirement varies from stu-dent to student, but may include purchase or lease of a computer, Internet access fees, software purchases, and cost of maintenance and supplies. Costs of meeting this requirement will be included in financial aid considerations. No student will be denied access to Santa Fe Community College because of an inability to purchase or lease a computer, and accordingly, the college offers access to computers through its computer labs and the library.

Financial AidMany students who need financial assistance are able to obtain help through schol-arships, loans, grants and part-time work. Financial aid programs at SFCC include Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Student Loan, Santa Fe Scholarship, Florida Student Assistance Grant, Florida Bright Futures Scholarships, and Federal Plus Loan. These programs are financed by federal, state and institutional funds. Awards are made on an academic year basis and the amount of assistance is determined by individual need, student eligibility, and availability of funds.
SFCC’s Board of Trustees makes a number of scholarship awards to outstanding students, including scholarships for Athletics, the College Achievement Program, Academics (Honors and Need-Based), Creative Arts, Public Service, Student Ambassador, Student Government, and Technology and Applied Sciences scholar-ships. In addition, there are privately funded scholarships offered to SFCC stu-dents by Santa Fe's Endowment Corporation. Inquiries should be directed to the Scholarships Office, Building R, room 132, in the student services complex or by calling (352) 395-5470.
Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid by March 15 for the following academic year starting with the fall term. Detailed information concerning finan-cial aid applications is available in the financial aid handbook. You may obtain this information by visiting the Financial Aid Web site at http://admin.sfcc.edu/~financialaid/, or writing to the Financial Aid Office, 3000 NW 83rd Street, Building R, room 122, , Gainesville, Florida, 32606, or by calling (352) 395-5480.
Official WithdrawalA student may officially withdraw from one course or from the college prior to the late withdrawal deadline published each term in the college course registration guide.
The withdrawal procedure is initiated by the student in the Office of Records and may affect the student's athletic eligibility, financial aid or veterans benefits, as well as benefits received from other federal agencies. Students are required to obtain signatures from various departments in order to withdraw, and it is the responsibil-ity of the student to deliver a completed withdrawal form to the Office of Records, Building R, room 101.
Students will not be permitted to routinely withdraw from college preparatory courses (ENC 0020; REA 0010; MAT 0002; MAT 0024). Special permission for with-drawal must be obtained from the College Prep advisor or chairman.
The withdrawal procedure does not guarantee any refund of money, nor is it related in any way to the refund policy (see Refund and Adjustment of Fees).
Any student seeking an exception to the withdrawal policy must request a late withdrawal through the Office of Records, Building R, room 101. Refunds past pub-lished deadlines are seldom given. Exceptions are by petition, and only documented extenuating circumstances are considered.
Refund and Adjustment of FeesStudents who wish to withdraw from the college or who seek refunds of fees paid may do so via eSantaFe or at the SFCC Records Office, Building R, and room 101.

Refund/Repayment PolicyAs a result of the Higher Education Act of 1998, a student who completely with-draws 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 coursework dropped during the drop/add period or canceled by the college. However, the feder-al refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiv-ing financial aid and completely withdrawing from the college.
For specific information about the refund/repayment policy, please visit the Financial Aid Web site at http://admin.sfcc.edu/~financialaid/fedrepay.htm or call a financial aid specialist at (352) 395-5480.
Final Drop DayFinal drop day is the last day upon which a student may drop a course and be eli-gible for a full refund of fees paid for that course. Courses officially dropped will be removed from the student's record. The final drop day will be scheduled so that every student will have an opportunity to drop a course on or after the first sched-uled class meeting. Refer to the college course registration guide for the deadline date for dropping courses each term.
If the college cancels a class at any time prior to its completion, the student's enroll-ment in that class will be canceled and the student will be entitled to a 100 percent refund of fees paid for that class, less any indebtedness to the college. The college will notify the student and the college will initiate the refund process.
Refunds will be processed after the fee refund deadline dates published in the col-lege course registration guide. While refund checks will be processed and distrib-uted as soon as possible, a fair expectation for their receipt would be approximately two weeks after the deadline.

Petitions to Drop with a Refund or for Late WithdrawalStudents who withdraw from one or more classes after the “Last Date to Drop and Receive a Refund” who wish to have the course removed from their record and to receive a refund, or who wish to withdraw from a course after the published with-drawal date for reasons of extreme hardship that can be documented, may consult the Office of Records (Building R, room 101) about petitioning for removal of the course record and refund of fees or a late withdrawal. Conditions under which the college may refund fees are outlined in Florida State Rule 6A-14 as follows: "100 percent of the tuition and registration fee is refunded if a student withdraws from a course due to circumstance determined by the college to be exceptional and beyond the control of the student, including but not limited to: illness of a student of such severity or duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude comple-tion of the course(s); death of the student or death in the immediate family (parent, spouse, child or sibling); Involuntary call to active military duty; a situation where the college is in error; or a college-initiated course or section(s) change, other cir-cumstance that may be approved by the College President or his/her designee(s)".

Petition for a Change of Registration StatusA student may petition to change the status of a class registration from credit to audit or from audit to credit. A clear reason for the petition needs to be stated, and any supporting documentation provided. The instructor must provide written sup-port for the petition, including feedback regarding grades received on quizzes, tests, etc., if any, before the committee will consider it. A change from credit to audit will only be considered in circumstances where the petitioner has not had any tests or quizzes in the course and no grades have been issued.
Petition forms are available in the Records Office, Building R, room 101 or on the Petitions Web site. The student is expected to present a clear and convincing writ-ten rationale along with supporting documentation for the petition. Written support from physicians, instructors and others may be necessary. Each petition is consid-ered on an individual basis. Please visit the “Petitions” Web site at http://admin.sfcc.edu/~records/petition.htm for additional procedural information and to print the appropriate forms.
The SFCC Petitions Committee meets weekly to consider student petitions. Students submitting petitions are welcome to appear before the committee at the time their petitions are heard. Notification of the committee's decision is made by mail.
Petitions for Graduation Waivers or Course SubstitutionsThe committee that considers petitions for graduation waivers or course substitu-tions consists of advisors from the Office of Academic Advisement.

Veterans ServicesAll veterans and other eligible persons are encouraged to call or visit the SFCC Veterans Affairs office located in Building R, room 103 on the Northwest Campus. Santa Fe Community College is approved for the education and training of veter-ans and other eligible persons under all public laws now in effect. Students who may be eligible for educational benefits under any United States Veterans Affairs program are urged to contact the SFCC office as soon as application is made to the college. Students expecting to receive benefits must also file an application for USVA benefits at the Santa Fe Community College Veteran's Affairs office. The college's Veteran's Affairs office will certify the student veteran for educational benefits based on receipt of the student's registration for class attendance each semester. The stu-dent veteran or other eligible person must provide a registration slip to the SFCC Veteran's Affairs office each semester the student desires to be certified for educa-tional benefits. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs determines eligi-bility for educational benefits based on documents provided by the SFCC Veterans Affairs office.
The SFCC Veterans Affairs office has been established to help campus veterans and other eligible persons attain their educational goals and to help them in applying for educational benefits. The office will provide eligible persons with information on programs and offerings such as work study, tutorial assistance and solving USVA related eligibility issues.
Standards of ConductConduct standards for veterans at SFCC are the same as those for all students and are set forth in the Student Handbook. If a veteran is suspended or dismissed from the college, action will be taken by the college to terminate the veteran's VA educational allowance.
Credit Awarded for Armed Services Educational ExperiencesVeterans and other eligible persons have all prior credit/ prior military credit evaluated and the equivalency credits recorded in the student's folder and per-manent record. Cumulative permanent academic records are kept on the com-mon transcript form showing all credits attempted and earned to include grades earned and incompletes.
In recognition of the academic and technical content of many military educational experiences, Santa Fe Community College will grant credit for military educa-tion. Credit awarded must be recommended as suitable for postsecondary credit by the American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Service (ACE Guide), and be applicable to the student's program objective. Credit will be awarded provided the current catalog lists com-parable courses and/or the student has not already earned credit for the particu-lar course. After enrollment in the college, the student must initiate the request for such credit by providing the appropriate documentation to the SFCC Veterans Affairs office for review. Recommendations in the ACE Guide are advisory in nature and are not binding upon the college.

Deferred Tuition Payments Deferment of tuition for veterans and other eligible program participants is set forth in Statute 240.345; 6A-14.054, Florida Administrative Code. The F.A.C. allows eligible program participants one 60-day deferment for the payment of registration fees in each student academic year. This deferment may be extended or granted more than once an academic year due to educational benefit payment delays beyond the control of the eligible Santa Fe Community College student. Each eligible student who receives a deferment shall first sign a promissory note made payable to the college for the amount of the deferred fees. Such notes are exempt from the State of Florida documentary stamp requirements.
Students receiving a tuition deferment shall be required to pay the amount due by the due date for EVERY class deferred. Students may petition for late with-drawal if they have stopped attending a class; however, the tuition for each deferred class must be paid first.
Standards of ProgressIn compliance with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs regarding veterans and other eligible persons' attendance, progress and certification, the fol-lowing procedures are to be followed:
I. Attendance The IHL program participant must notify the Santa Fe Community College Veterans Affairs office of any change in student status. Student withdrawal from a class will be reported to the USVA within 30 days of the withdrawal. The NCD program participant enrolled in a vocational certificate program who accumulates three (3) or more unexcused absences during any calendar month will be interrupted for USVA benefits. The USVA will be notified by the college's VA office to suspend benefits due to lack of attendance. Three unex-cused tardinesses will count as one absence.
II. Academic Progress The program participant's rate of progress toward his or her educational goal is as follows:
The program participant may be certified to repeat a course in which an unsatisfactory grade has been received. USVA educational benefits will be terminated when the student's GPA is below 2.0 for two consecutive terms. The college's Veterans Affairs office is available to assist program participants in reinstatement of educational benefits following successful completion of one semester attaining above a 2.0 GPA. Program participants are encouraged to seek academic advisement, attend tutorial labs or seek assistance from the college's Veteran's Affairs office to avoid academic suspension of USVA educa-tional benefits.
Reporting of Academic ProgressThe USVA prohibits payment of educational benefits for auditing a course or for a course not used toward graduation requirements, including any course from which the student withdraws, unless there is a finding of mitigating circumstances causing the withdrawal.

All W grades are considered to be punitive and will be reported as required to the USVA. The USVA may adjust the amount paid to the program participant when W grades change the student status to less time attended, such as from full time to three-quarter time. The payment of adjustments is retroactive to the first day of the term in which they are recorded, unless mitigating circumstances are submitted and accepted by the USVA.
All incomplete (I) grades must be completed by the end of the next major term. A student should not re-register for a course to make up an incomplete grade. The program participant must complete the course requirements, changing the incom-plete to a letter grade..
Mitigating Circumstances
Mitigating circumstances are situations that directly hinder a program partic-ipant's pursuit of a course and are judged to be beyond the student's control. Students are encouraged to contact the college's Veterans Affairs office to discuss mitigating circumstances and to file them with the USVA. The following are some general categories of mitigating circumstances (the list is not all-inclusive):
1. Serious illness of the program participant or in the program participant's immediate family;
2. Financial obligations, which require a change in terms, hours, or placement of employment precluding pursuit of a course;
3. Discontinuance of a course by Santa Fe Community College;
4. Active duty in military service, including active duty for training;
5. Actions by the program participant such as seeking tutorial assistance, SFCC Veterans Affairs counseling, and/ or Santa Fe Community College academic counseling in an attempt to remedy the unsatisfactory work before withdrawal or completion.
General Information
The Montgomery GI Bill and other eligible programs conducted by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs offer many first generation college students a way to pay for their college education. Generally, students should not expect to receive educational payments for up to 90 days when applying for benefits for the first time, although payment is made as of the first day of class. All program-eligible students are encouraged to apply for student financial aid and all eligible military veterans are encouraged to apply for the financial aid to enhance their GI Bill-earned educational benefits.
All program-eligible participants have tutorial assistance and work study avail-able, provided by the USVA, and are encouraged to learn more about these programs by contacting the college's Veterans Affairs office at (352) 395-5505. Students are also encouraged to notify the college's VA office when there are any problems with educational benefits.
Program participants are encouraged to monitor their educational benefits by contacting the Atlanta Regional office of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs at (888) 442-4551 or (888) GI BILL1.

Academic Objectives and AttendanceSanta Fe Community College is responsible for providing its students with a learn-ing-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 mis-sion and its responsibility as a tax-supported institution.
A student's standing at Santa Fe Community College will be determined by the rela-tionship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in good stand-ing 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.
Grade Point DeficitA grade point deficit is the difference between the grade points needed for a C average and the grade points earned on hours attempted. The following exam-ples demonstrate this concept. It should be noted that a student can go from a position of good standing to academic warning, probation or suspension within one term.
Example 1 New student in first term: Total Grade Grade Attempted Grade Points Hours Points
A 4 multiplied by 3 = 12 B 3 “ “ 3 = 9 C 2 “ “ 3 = 6 D 1 “ “ 3 = 3 12 = 30 To remain in good standing, a C average, which is equal to two grade points per credit hour, must be maintained. The total credits attempted multiplied by two will establish the minimum number of grade points needed. From the grade record list-ed above on 12 credit hours, 12 times two (for a C average) = 24 grade points. Since 30 grade points were earned, this student is in good standing.
Example 2 Same student as example 1, but in second term: Total Grade Grade Attempted Grade Points Hours Points
C 2 multiplied by 4 = 8 D 1 “ “ 3 = 3 F 0 “ “ 4 = 0 F 0 “ “ 4 = 0 15 = 11 This student earned 11 grade points in the second term. Added to the 30 grade points from the first term, the student has earned 41 grade points. For the 27 credit hours attempted (12 + 15 = 27), the student would need 54 grade points (27 times 2) to maintain a C average. Therefore, this student has a 13 grade point deficit (54 -41 = 13) and will be placed on academic probation.

Example 3 New students in first term: Total Grade Grade Attempted Grade Points Hours Points
F 0 multiplied by 4 = 0 F 0 “ “ 3 = 0 D 1 “ “ 3 = 3 D 1 “ “ 3 = 3 13 = 6 In this example, the student earned six grade points on 13 semester hours. Thus, 13 times 2 = 26 grade points needed for a C average. Since only six grade points were earned, this student would have a 20 point grade point deficit and, therefore, would be suspended after just one term.
Academic Warning, Probation and SuspensionTo complete degree and certificate program requirements, students must meet SFCCs Standards of Academic Progress:
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA will be placed on academic warning if they have a grade point deficit of one to nine points.
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA will be placed on academic probation if they have 10 or more, but fewer than 20, deficit points.
• Students with 20 or more deficit points will be suspended for one full semester (16 weeks).
• See the description of the Standards of Academic Progress (SLS1531) course at http://admin.sfcc.edu/~course/
This course is intended to help suspended students return to college successfully. Students readmitted after their suspension term or those who receive suspension overrides should enroll in this course.
WithdrawalsStudents who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (web) or in the Records Office (Building R, room 101) up until the offi-cial withdrawal date each term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/ses-sion is available in the course registration guide and via eSantaFe.
A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. An “attempt” is defined as an enrollment in a course where any grade is assigned or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be count-ed 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

s
7� 7�
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.
Academic DismissalA student returning after suspension will be on probation. If, at the end of the term he or she returns, the grade point deficit is still 20 or more, the student will be dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. After that time has passed, the student may petition the college for possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate promise of suc-cessful performance.
Exception to the Academic Dismissal rule: A student who earns a semester GPA of 2.5 or higher in the first semester after returning from suspension or dismissal will not be suspended, even if that student's overall deficit is more than 20 grade points. Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher each term, the student will remain enrolled on academic probation until good academic stand-ing is achieved
Returning after Suspension/DismissalA student returning after suspension or dismissal will be on probation. If, at the end of the term he or she returns, the grade point deficit is still 20 or more, the student will be dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. After that time has passed, the student may petition the college for possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate promise of successful performance.
Exception to above rule: A student who earns a semester GPA of 2.5 or higher in the first semester after returning from suspension or dismissal will not be sus-pended, even if that student's overall deficit is more than 20 grade points. Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher each term, the student will remain enrolled on academic probation until good academic standing is achieved.
Transferring to Santa Fe with Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe's Standards of Progress using the same criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer students entering with defi-cit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e. academic warning or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade points have been earned to achieve a C average.
Transient StatusAll transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe's Standards of Progress using the same criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer students entering with deficit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e. academic warning or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade points have been earned to achieve a C average.

OmbudspersonStudents having questions about obtaining access to a course or courses which, if not taken, could impede their progress toward a degree, should contact the college's ombudsman located in Building R, room 211. Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs, Mr. John Cowart, is the college's ombudsman.
College Preparatory ProgramAcademic Foundations DepartmentIn support of academic achievement, SFCC provides learning labs that offer indi-vidualized academic support in mathematics, reading and writing. This service is offered to students at all levels. Students may be referred to the labs by instructors or may seek additional help independently. Lab instruction is offered on a one-to-one basis or in small group sessions and is free of charge to SFCC students.
The ESL (EAP) program provides instruction in the spoken and written language for non-native English students. Students participate in small-group instruction and individual practice to develop the English language skills needed to succeed in academic and vocational classes. Listening, speaking, reading, writing and cultural adaptation are emphasized.
The CLAST Lab provides pre-CLAST testing and review of all CLAST skills for stu-dents preparing to take CLAST for the first time and those remediating after failure of any subtest. Students are required to complete remediation in the CLAST Lab prior to retesting. A fee is charged for CLAST retakes.
The Learning Labs are located at: CLAST Lab ..................................................B-100 ESL (EAP) Lab .............................................I-01 Mathematics Lab.........................................G-14 Reading Lab .................................................G-36 Writing Lab ..................................................G-05

Degree-seeking students whose college entry placement scores are below the state and institutional college-level placement scores shall enroll in the appropriate col-lege preparatory courses prior to enrolling in college-level courses. The college pre-paratory courses are:
ENC0001 College Prep Writing I ENC0020 College Prep Writing II
REA0001 College Prep Reading I REA0010 College Prep Reading II
MAT0002 Prep Pre-Algebra MAT0024 Elementary Algebra MAT0002C Prep Pre-Algebra (Computerized) MAT0020 Integrated Pre-Algebra & Elementary Algebra MAT0020CIntegrated Pre-Algebra & Elementary Algebra (Computerized)
Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are required to re-register for the failed course the following semester.
Students who complete REA0002 are required to register for REA2205 the follow-ing semester. Students are strongly recommended to enroll in College Composition (ENC1101) immediately after they complete college preparatory reading and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to enroll in MAT1033 after they complete MAT0024.
Rule 6A-10.0315(14) states that students enrolled in college preparatory courses may be permitted to take courses concurrently in other curriculum areas for which they are qualified. Students who test into college prep instruction must successfully com-plete the required college preparatory studies by the time they have accumulated 12 hours of college credit course work or they must maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory course work each semester until the requirements are completed while performing satisfactorily in the degree earning course work.
College preparatory students may not enroll in college credit courses that require skills that are beyond the skill level of the student. Restricted college-level courses are flagged in the course schedule. Since students must maintain continuous enroll-ment in required college preparatory course work to maintain eligibility for enroll-ment in college-level courses, students may not drop a college preparatory course and remain registered in a college-level course.
The College Prep advisors located in G-41 are available to advise all college prep and ESL (EAP) students.

Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in each college preparatory course. Withdrawal from a college preparatory course after the last day to drop and receive a refund counts as an attempt. Since the state will fund only two college pre-paratory attempts, students will pay the full tuition cost for the third attempt, which is equivalent to out of state tuition. Exemptions may be granted for extenuating cir-cumstances. Petitions may be submitted at the College Prep Office, G-21.
Grades earned in college prep courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the students' GPAs and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.
English as a Second Language (ESL) English for Academic Purposes (EAP)Non-native speakers of English who place into college preparatory reading and English are required to register for the ESL (EAP) college preparatory courses. The courses in this program integrate reading, writing, listening and speaking activities to prepare non-native speakers of English for college-level work. The ESL (EAP) program consists of the following courses:
EAP200 ESL Communications for College 1 EAP220 ESL Basic Reading EAP240 ESL Basic Writing EAP300 ESL Communications for College 2 EAP320 ESL Intermediate Reading EAP340 ESL Intermediate Writing EAP400 Communications for College 3 EAP420 College Preparatory ESL Reading EAP440 College Preparatory ESL Writing
Grades earned in ESL (EAP) courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the students' GPAs and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.
Students enrolled in college preparatory ESL (EAP) courses follow the same reg-istration procedures as all college preparatory students. Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in any Prep ESL (EAP) course. Withdrawal from one of these courses after the last day to withdraw and receive a refund counts as an attempt.
Cooperative EducationCourses offered by this program allow students to apply knowledge obtained in the classroom in a variety of actual work settings. Students are able to gain valuable work experience and skills not obtainable in the classroom. Registration for coop-erative education classes is by Cooperative Education Department permission only (Building S, room 254).
Each cooperative education placement involves the student in the work site search, which often resembles a competitive employment job search. The work site may provide experience to the student as a paid job or as a volunteer work experi-ence, depending upon the employer’s current human resource needs and financial resources. Once a site is established, the student will work a minimum of 10-20 hours per week and will receive financial compensation (if a paid site has been

developed) and one to three semester hours of credit for each co-op work assign-ment. The student working 10-14 hours per week will receive one semester hour of credit. The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive two semester hours of credit. The student working 20-35 hours per week will receive three semester hours of credit. A total of up to nine hours per year may be earned. Supervisors at the student’s work site evaluate student performance during their cooperative education experience. The cooperative education coordinator utilizes experiential type reports and other assignments submitted by the student at the end of each term, combined with the performance evaluation submitted by the site supervisor, to determine an appropriate grade. Cooperative education course hours designated as occupational (O) are not transferable nor will those hours count toward graduation requirements for the A.A. degree or impact GPA.
Degrees and GraduationSanta Fe Community College grants three degrees: the Associate of Arts (A.A.), the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate of Science (A.S.).

Catalog YearCatalog 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 gradu-ate under the requirements of a later catalog but they must fulfill all graduation requirements from that alternative catalog year.
A.A. degree students should consult with an academic advisor.
The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the curriculum requirements appropriate to each student’s catalog year. However, courses and programs will sometimes be discontinued and requirements may change as a result of curricular review or actions by accrediting associations and other agencies.
Experiential LearningSanta Fe Community College recognizes and awards credit by experience in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send requests for experiential-learning credit to the appropriate academic program areas, following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit Form. The academic depart-ments request the appropriate documentation from the registrar to determine that another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined within each department. Experiential credits based on work experience require a letter from the student's employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact infor-mation. Experiential credit is usually granted only for internships. Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps expe-riential-learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions.
Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System. This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by participating non-public institutions. The major purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions.
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 rep-resentative 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 Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS). The list of course prefixes and numbers, along with their generic titles, is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as “course equivalency pro-files.”

Example of course identifier: Prefix Level Code Century Digit Decade Digit Unit Digit Lab Code (first digit) (second digit) (third digit) (fourth digit)
SYG 1 0 1 0 Sociology, Freshman Entry -level Survey Course Social Problems No laboratory General level at this General component institution Sociology in this course
General Rule for Course EquivalenciesEquivalent 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. (Exceptions are listed below.)
For example, a survey course in social problems is offered by 31 different postsec-ondary institutions. Each institution uses “SYG_ 010” to identify its social problems 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, “SYG” means “Sociology, General;” the century digit “0” represents “Entry-Level General Sociology;” the decade digit “1” represents “Survey Course;” and the unit digit “0” represents “Social Problems.”
In science and 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, having the same prefix and course number without a lab indicator, which meets at a different time or place.
Transfer of any successfully completed course from one 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, SYG1010 is offered at a community college. The same course is offered at a state university as SYG2010. A student who has successfully completed SYG1010 at the community college is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for SYG2010 at the state university if the student transfers. The student cannot be required to take SYG2010 since SYG1010 is equivalent to SYG2010. Transfer credit must be awarded for suc-cessfully 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 institu-tion to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed which have not been designated as equivalent.
The Course PrefixThe course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or sub-category of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned prefix to identify the course.

Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent CoursesFlorida Department of Education Rule 6A-10.024(23)Florida Administrative Code reads: When a student transfers among postsecond-ary 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 common course designation and numbering system, the receiving institution shall award credit for courses satisfactorily completed at the previous participating insti-tutions when the courses are judged by the appropriate common course designation and numbering system faculty task forces 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 award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the course numbering system. Credit so awarded shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credit awarded to native student.
Exceptions to the General Rule for EquivalencyThe following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution. A. Courses in the 900-999 series (e.g. HUM2905) B. Internships, practica, clinical experiences and study abroad courses C. Performance or studio courses in Art, Dance, Theater and Music D. Skills courses in Criminal Justice E. Graduate courses F. Courses not offered by the receiving institutions
College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses may not be used to meet degree requirements and are not transferable.
Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering System and appeals regard-ing course credit transfer decisions should first be directed to Martha Morton in the Curriculum, Scheduling, and Information Office, or the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling telephone number (850) 245-0427 or SunCom 205-0427.

2. At the end of the term, final grades are available on the eSantaFe system on the SFCC Web site.
3. Forgiveness Policy: Courses in which a grade of D or F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts marked with a T are not included with calculating the cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with an R are included when calculat-ing the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not accept a grade of a repeated course, or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cau-tioned to check with the Financial Aid office to ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award.
4. Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X are not included in total grade point averages.
Academic Honors ListStudents in Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree programs are eligible for the Academic Honors List in the fall and spring terms. Eligible students must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per term, in courses other than supplementary or college preparatory, and earn a minimum grade point average of 3.5.

Individual StudyIndividual Study will satisfy general education requirements for the Applied Associate of Applied Science degree provided that no more than 3 semester hours of credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts degree, Individual Study may not be used to meet the general education requirements although it may be used as elective credit.
No more than 3 semester hours of credit can be applied to any one Individual Study request. An Individual Study may not duplicate any preexisting course in the college curriculum. Forms are available at the Curriculum, Scheduling, and Information Web site.
The Individual Study form and outline must be typed. The outline must include objectives, texts and/or materials, meeting times with the designated instructor, and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student’s responsibility rather than the instructor’s to prepare the outline. Individual Study forms must be completed and submitted to the appropriate chairperson or academic director by the first day of the term in which credit is to be awarded. Students must then submit the form to the Curriculum, Scheduling, and Information Office, P-155, to have the course created. Students will register for Individual Study courses with their copy of the form on or before the last day to add classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual Study credit is awarded and applied to the transcript at the end of the term.
Military Science
Air Force ROTCThe 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 Community 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, a two-year course, examines the role of U. S. mili-tary 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 enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at the University of Florida, (352) 392-1355.

Army ROTCSanta Fe Community 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 only be used at the University of Florida or any other four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The scholarships pay all tuition, textbooks, 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 commis-sion 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 enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Army ROTC Detachment at the University of Florida, (352) 392-1395.
Sixty Plus Fee WaiversSanta Fe Community College will waive registration fees (not lab, materials or tech-nology fees) for residents of Alachua and Bradford Counties who are sixty years of age or older for all credit courses they enroll in at the college on a space available basis. “Space Available” is defined as the last day of drop/add for the term/session. Waivers will not be processed in cases where the initial registration for the course was prior to that date. No waivers are available for any Continuing Education cours-es. For Community Education, registration waivers are available after pre-registra-tion, if a class has space available and has covered 125 percent of its operating costs. Some Community Education classes do not offer Sixty Plus waivers. Verification of age and address by driver's license, birth certificate or voter's registration card must be provided when applying for the waiver.
Specialized Group StudySpecialized Group Study will satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate of Science degree in the areas of Communications/Humanities, Math/Science and Social/Behavioral Sciences, provided that no more than 3 semester hours of such credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts degree, however, Specialized Group Study may not be used to meet the General Education requirements, although it may be used as elective credit.
State Employee Tuition Fee WaiversIn accordance with Section 1009.265, Florida Statutes, effective spring term 2003, Santa Fe Community College will waive tuition and fees (excluding application and lab fees) for state employees to enroll for up to 6 credit hours of courses per term on a space-available basis (defined as the last date of drop/add). Please note that Section 1009.265(5), F.S. defines state employees as employees of the executive, legis-lative, and judicial branches of state government and specifically excludes university employees. Also, proviso language in the General Appropriations Act specifies that state employees must be “full-time” employees. Waivers will not be granted for courses where the initial registration was prior to the last date of drop/add. Eligible employees should bring documentation from their employer to the cashier’s office in the Robertson Administration Building.

Testing and ExaminationsThe Assessment Center in G-25 provides college entry assessment and other assess-ment activities, including CLAST advisement and registration.
College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) is a part of the Florida system of educational accountability. The CLAST measures students' achievement of col-lege-level communication and mathematics skills. It consists of four subtests: essay, English language skills, reading and mathematics.
SFCC students need to take the CLAST when they earn 18 A.A. degree hours, including grades of C or better in ENC1101, ENC1102 and a college-level mathemat-ics course at MAC1105 or higher. Students are required to pass all four subtests or earn exemptions in accordance with the Rule to earn an Associate of Arts degree and to be admitted to most upper division programs in the Florida State University System.
Students who fail any subtest are required to remediate skills in the CLAST Lab prior to retaking the CLAST. A fee is charged for CLAST retakes. State financial aid students who fail to take the CLAST by the time they have earned 60 hours jeopar-dize their financial aid status.
For further CLAST information, contact the CLAST office in G-25.
2006 CLAST Dates * Registration Deadline Test Date September 8, 2006 October 7, 2006
2007 CLAST Dates* Registration Deadline Test Date January 19, 2007 February 17, 2007 May 4, 2007 June 5, 2007 September 7, 2007 October 6, 2007
*dates subject to verification by Florida Department of Education
Students may take the English Language Skills, Reading and Mathematics por-tions of the CLAST at their own convenience in the Assessment Center once they have completed preparation in the CLAST Lab. To take the CLAST in the Assessment Center, students are required to submit authorization from the CLAST Lab. This authorization is granted after students work in the CLAST Lab and demonstrate that they are ready to take the test. The Essay portion is only administered three times a year on the above dates. Students must register for the Essay by the above registration deadlines.

The Computer Placement Exam (CPE) As a graduation requirement for the 21st century, Santa Fe Community College has implemented a Computer Placement Exam (CPE) for all degree-seeking students entering, transferring, or readmitting in Fall 2001 or later. Computer or online courses that are less than 3 years old may exempt the student from tak-ing the CPE. Students who are exempt based on courses will see a 992 on their transcript for the CPE. The CPE requirement reflects the college's recognition that computer literacy is an indispensable skill for academic achievement as well as for a successful career after graduation.
The CPE, administered by computer in the Assessment Center, covers basic knowledge of a PC with Windows and Microsoft Word, sending email, and navi-gating the Internet through Internet Explorer. A score of 70 percent is considered passing. The CPE can be taken all year on a walk-in basis at the Assessment Center in G-25 or by appointment at the Blount, Davis and Andrews Centers.
Incoming students must take the CPE prior to completing 24 credit hours at SFCC. Students are required to pass the CPE prior to graduation. Students who do not pass the CPE the first time are offered options for remediation, including a self-paced tutorial that can be purchased in the SFCC Bookstore. Students may also take a tutorial through the Big Open Lab (BOL) in N-216.
For more detailed information, visit the CPE Web page on the SFCC Web site at: http://admin.sfcc.edu/~acres/assess/cpe.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)Contact Information:
CLEP Transcript Service P.O. Box 6600Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6600(609) 771-7865, (800) 257-9558http://www.collegeboard.com/clep/clepstud/html/stud005.html
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of examinations devel-oped by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) 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 SFCC, the University of Florida or any cen-ter authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board. The student is responsi-ble for having all scores submitted to the SFCC Office of Records (Building R, room 101). 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 insti-tutions 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 as listed in the following table, provided the student has not already earned credit for the particular course(s) for which Santa Fe could give examina-tion credit. Credit is not awarded for a basic course in areas where advanced course credit has been earned. No examination may be repeated in an attempt to receive credit. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice.

Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum, but rather 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 Records office for further information.
Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE)The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and assess-ment 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 Records office for further information.
Excelsior College ExaminationsExcelsior 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 College and Schools (MSACS). 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 Records office for further information.
Department Credit by ExaminationStudents 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 SFCC Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is available. Students should be aware that SFCC 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 SFCC (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 SFCC Department Credit by Examination 1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the offices
of academic chairpersons and directors.
2. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chairper-sons. If the application is approved, chairpersons will explain how the exami-nation will be administered according to current procedures. Depending on the discipline or program area, either individual examination dates for each student or a common examination date for all students will be set each term.
3. Requests are presented to the appropriate dean/chairperson/coordinator for approval (signature).
4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier's window for payment of the $15 examination fee.
5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area exam-iner indicated in Step 2 above.
6. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner will forward results (appli-cation) to the appropriate office and telephone that office to academic affairs verify the test grade. The completed examination will be placed in the divi-sion's Credit by Examination file for the discipline or program area.
7. Students must then return to the office where the application was made, pick up a copy of the signed form and take it to the Office of Records for final recording. Students must allow one week after completion of the examination before picking up the copy from the appropriate office.
8. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time after the lapse of one full academic term beyond the term in which the first attempt was made. Students may not attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in the same course.
Tech Prep Acceleration CreditTech Prep credit is a mechanism of accelerated college credit that may be employed during the high school years. Students who have earned sufficiently high grades in Tech Prep classes while in high school and who have passed an exam formulated and administered by Santa Fe Community College may receive college credit upon request after registering at SFCC. Santa Fe Community College will not accept Tech Prep credit that is earned at a high school with whom we have no prior articulation agreement.

MissionThe mission in Liberal Arts and Sciences is to conduct every activity and center
every goal on that of the college's mission: to add value to the lives of our stu-dents and to enrich our community. The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences facilitates learning through:
• a strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate of Arts degree;
• career preparation, further academic study, and lifelong learning by students with diverse backgrounds and goals;

• intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills;
• the development of the individual by fostering an awareness of self, of diverse opinions and cultures, and of one's responsibility within the global commu-nity;
• the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline areas; and
• a personalized, supportive learning environment that challenges students to achieve high levels of academic performance.
PurposeThe Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for students to:
• attain a broad-based education through courses in written and oral communica-tion, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, history, humanities and creative arts;
• complete programs of study that will lead to the Associate of Arts degree; • complete their general education courses, electives, and prerequisites for
Associate of Science and certificate programs; • pursue university-parallel programs of study leading toward a baccalaureate
degree; and • become lifelong learners.
PhilosophyThe Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences believes all students deserve the opportu-nity to strive for academic excellence in an environment that both respects and sup-ports diverse learners. The division provides a multidisciplinary breadth of knowl-edge from the perspectives of a wide range of academic subjects. This foundation prepares students for success in higher education, career and personal goals.
Associate of Arts DegreeThrough the Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the college offers the Associate of Arts degree. Students wishing to transfer to a four-year college upon graduation from Santa Fe Community College are best advised to enroll in courses leading to the Associate of Arts degree.
In keeping with the articulation agreement between state universities and public community colleges in Florida, each institution granting the Associate of Arts degree sets its own general education requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours required for the degree. By law, the articulation agreement provides that every Associate of Arts graduate of a Florida community college be granted admis-sion to the upper division of a state university except to a limited access or teacher certification program or a major program requiring an audition. Students earning the Associate of Arts degree and transferring to one of Florida's public universities will not be required by the university to take additional general education courses.
Although the Associate of Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised early in their academic careers to be aware

������ ��
of the upper division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within the required general education core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition, the Associate of Arts degree requires 24 hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to upper division. Although the college will make every attempt to advise students concerning upper division requirements for the various majors, students are urged to become familiar with the requirements of the upper division universities to which they plan to transfer. Thus, with the help of their advisors, students should choose electives that will be most advantageous in the pursuit of their bachelor's degrees. Each upper division university annually publishes counseling manuals for every major offered at that institution. Each state university has a designated articulation officer to facilitate the transfer of commu-nity college graduates to the state university system.
Requirements for the Associate of 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. Select courses from those assigned "P" (Parallel) and "D" (Dual). Courses designated "O" (Occupational) are usu-ally not accepted by upper division institutions.
• Meet Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon Rule). Courses marked with an asterisk (*) will meet a portion of this rule.
• Pass or earn exemptions from all subtests of the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST).
• Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.
• File an application for graduation with the Office of Records.
General EducationGeneral education is the core preparation for life-long learning. It fosters a disci-plined curiosity that leads to exploring the foundations and ranges of knowledge in the arts and sciences. The general education program at Santa Fe Community College develops the student's professional, intellectual and social skills, thereby facilitating understanding of, and involvement in, cultural, political and natural environments. General education provides critical competencies students need to succeed in the workplace, to transfer education, and in today’s society.
Specifically, the student will:
• experience the perspectives of various disciplines that comprise the arts and sciences and understand their inter-connection;
• gain the necessary foundation and depth and breadth of knowledge to become an independent, creative, lifelong learner;
• develop effective writing, speaking, reading, listening and interpersonal skills;
• learn how to acquire, organize, evaluate, verify, present, interpret and use information from various programs of study;
• sharpen problem-solving skills through deductive and inductive reasoning, analysis, synthesis, and collaboration;

• develop the skills necessary to evaluate social, political, cultural and scientific bodies of knowledge, their historical development and their continuing influ-ence;
• gain an appreciation for diversity in the world community; and
• understand the importance of civic and social participation and informed deci-sion making.
The general education requirements at Santa Fe Community College are met by a minimum of 36 credit hours representing communication and mathematical skills and introductions to, or surveys of, the academic areas of history, humanities, natu-ral sciences, social sciences, and creative arts. A focus on the diversity of the human condition can be accomplished from the perspective of any one of these areas.
Required General Education Core Courses for the Associate of Arts degree
(* denotes Gordon Rule courses)
Gordon Rule (6A-10.030)1. In addition to assessments that may be adopted by the State Board of Education or Board of Governors to measure student achievement in college-level communication and computation skills, other assessment requirements shall be met by successful completion of course work in English and mathematics. For the purposes of this rule, a grade of C or higher shall be considered successful completion.
2. Prior to receipt of an Associate of Arts degree from a public community college or university or prior to entry into the upper division of a public university or college, a student shall complete successfully the following.
a. Six (6) semester hours of English course work and six (6) semester hours of additional course work in which the student is required to demonstrate col-lege-level writing skills through multiple assignments. Each institution shall designate the courses that fulfill the writing requirements of this section. These course designations shall be submitted to the Statewide Course Numbering System. An institution to which a student transfers shall accept courses so des-ignated by the sending institution as meeting the writing requirements outlined in this section.b. Six (6) semester hours of mathematics course work at the level of college algebra or higher. For the purposes of this rule, applied logic, statistics and other such computation course work which may not be placed within a math-ematics department may be used to fulfill three (3) hours of the six (6) hours required by this section.c. Students awarded college credit in English based on their demonstration of writing skills through dual enrollment, advanced placement, or international baccalaureate instruction pursuant to Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., and students awarded college credit based on their demonstration of mathematics skills at the level of college algebra or higher through one (1) or more of the accelera-tion mechanisms in Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., shall be considered to have satisfied the requirements in subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C., to the extent of the college credit awarded.

3. Exemptions and Waivers. Any public community college or university desiring to exempt its students from the requirements of subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C., shall submit an alternative plan to the Department of Education. Upon approval of the plan by the Department, the plan shall be submitted to the State Board of Education or the Board of Governors as appropriate. Upon approval by the State Board of Education or the Board of Governors, said plan shall be deemed effective in lieu of the requirements of subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C.

Gordon Rule Writing CoursesSanta Fe Community College has established the following rationale for identifying writing intensive courses that may be used to satisfy the college-level writing por-tion of the Gordon Rule (2a above):
A writing-intensive course is a content specific course that has as major instruc-tional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial discipline-based writ-ing component that consists of teacher assessed college level writing assign-ments. College-level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills to discuss a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appropriate diction, conventions, and rhe-torical strategies.
In a writing-intensive course, students are expected to produce a substantial amount of disciplined-based writing of which the majority is assessed by fac-ulty towards refining college level writing skills in a specific discipline.
Courses that satisfy the college-level writing component of the Gordon Rule are identified below:

Business Programs offers preparation for a wide range of careers in government, business and industry. Opportunities for employment, advancement and responsi-bility in careers such as management, legal, medical, secretarial and accounting exist in almost every business organization.
Programs in business are structured to include a foundation in general education, a broad understanding of the business environment, commercial activities and spe-cialized skills necessary for particular occupations. Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university upon graduation from SFCC are best advised to comply with the course requirements for the Associate of Science degree in Business Administration (see catalog description and consult with the programs advisor) or enroll in the Associate of Arts program. Students should read carefully the section on requirements for the Associate of Arts degree listed under the Division of Arts and Sciences. Course selection should be made with the help of an academic advi-sor.
Students planning to complete their formal education in a two-year period are advised to pursue the Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science degree. These degrees are designed to prepare the student for direct entry into a variety of business positions. Majors offered and course requirements are detailed in the fol-lowing Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science sections.
Students should remember that the A.S./A.A.S. degrees are designed for immediate employment upon completion of the two-year program and not designed to be a transfer degree to a senior college or university. However, some transfer agreements have been established in some programs, and these are noted at the end of each degree program outline. Students interested in these exceptions should contact the Business Programs advisor for course requirements.
Students who are planning to attend college for specific training but are not interest-ed in a degree program should pursue one of the certificate or applied technology diploma (ATD) programs. Certificate and ATD programs are designed to be com-pleted over a one-year period. Consult the following section for certificate program offerings.

Degree and Certificate Programs:Automotive Service Management Technology 2604The Santa Fe Community College A.A.S. degree in Automotive Service Management Technology is a two-year program designed to upgrade the technical competence and the professional level of the incoming technician. The curriculum is designed by the college in cooperation with local dealership personnel and independent repair facility owners.
The program involves not only classroom lecture 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 train-ing 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 cam-pus followed by eight weeks of work experience time. Then the student returns to SFCC 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.

Building Construction Technology 2610The mission of the Building Construction Program at Santa Fe Community College is to promote and improve construction education in our geographic area by provid-ing construction management training for entry-level practitioners in residential and light commercial construction.
Growth in the state of Florida and changes in the construction industry mandate that builders and their supervisory employees have business and management skills in addition to being knowledgeable in the construction trades and the con-struction process. Associate of Applied Science degree graduates from the Building Construction Program at Santa Fe understand basic principles of business and have knowledge of the technical aspects of the construction industry. Graduates are able to function in the construction office environment and on the job site.
The Building Construction Program at Santa Fe offers building construction courses for three different types of students. (1) The Associate of Applied Science degree in Building Construction Technology gives graduates technical skills required in the industry and blends business management training for light construction in a two-year degree program. (2) The Associate of Arts degree with construction emphasis is designed to prepare the graduate to transfer to the University of Florida or another university to pursue a bachelor's degree in building construction. Many courses taught in the Associate of Applied Science degree program transfer to four-year institutions as electives with the graduate's A.A. degree. (3) Many courses in the A.A.S. degree program are taught at the "entry level" and are open to the public and to industry members for continuing education or update training.
Santa Fe's Associate of Applied Science degree program in Building Construction Technology is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). The ACCE is the accrediting body for two- and four-year construction management programs in the United States.

Carpentry Apprenticeship (7674)"Earn while you learn" is the philosophy of the Carpentry Apprenticeship Program. The construction industry needs carpenters. Because it does, you have worlds of opportunity when you become a carpenter. The carpenter works in virtually all types of construction projects.

Cardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diagno-sis and treatment of patients with three of the most serious health problems in the United States today—heart, lung, and vascular diseases.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is five semesters of classroom, laboratory, and clinical instruction. The final two semesters are spent in clinical specialization rotations in cardiovascular and pulmonary laboratories throughout the Southeast. Students who complete the program are awarded an Associate of Science degree in Cardiovascular Technology. Excellent career opportunities await graduates.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is one of the oldest and most established programs of its type in the United States. It is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology and the Florida Department of Health. Program instruction is consistent with curriculum frameworks as admin-istered by the Florida Department of Education. Graduates are eligible to take national certification examinations.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program consists of four specialty areas:
Invasive Cardiology Working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the technologist helps the physi-cian perform invasive diagnostic tests to assess the condition of a patient's cardio-vascular system. Additionally, the technologist helps the physician with interven-tional techniques such as balloon angioplasty and pacemaker implantation proce-dures designed to help alleviate existing cardiac problems.

Pulmonary Functions Testing The technologist working in the pulmonary functions testing laboratory uses com-puter supported equipment in performing diagnostic tests to detect the presence and severity of pulmonary diseases. Tests performed include spirometry, lung vol-ume testing, diffusion studies, arterial blood gas analysis, bronchoscopy, polysom-nography (sleep studies), and exercise metabolic studies.
Cardiac Ultrasound In the non-invasive cardiology laboratory, the technologist uses ultrasound technol-ogy to produce an image of the heart. The cardiac ultrasound study or echocardio-gram can help identify normal heart structure and function and cardiac abnormali-ties such as valvular problems, flow irregularities, and decreased cardiac function. Associated tests include electrocardiography (ECG), Holter monitoring and assisting the physician with exercise stress testing, stress echocardiography, and transesopha-geal echocardiography (TEE).
Peripheral Vascular Studies The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultrasound imaging, Doppler, spectral analysis and a variety of physiologic testing procedures to image and evaluate blood flow in the veins and arteries throughout the body. These diagnostic modalities are particularly useful in evaluating patients who are at risk for strokes and peripheral vascular diseases. Recent advancements in vascular ultrasound include transcranial Doppler, dialysis access site evaluation, renal ultrasound, and abdominal vascular ultrasound.

Nuclear Medicine TechnologyNuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) is a medical specialty in which low-level radioactive materials (radionuclides) are used for diagnosis and treatment of dis-ease. Nuclear medicine technologists work in three major areas: organ imaging, radionuclide analysis of biological specimens, and radionuclide therapy.
The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Nuclear Medicine Technology and the State of Florida Department of Education, and is con-ducted in cooperation with Shands at AGH, Shands at UF, North Florida Regional Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Munroe Regional Medical Center, Ocala Regional Medical Center, and several outpatient cardiac practices.
The NMT Program’s Mission Statement is: To provide a comprehensive, competency based, accredited nuclear medicine technology curriculum to prepare a diverse group of students with entry level skills needed to perform quality nuclear medicine procedures; while helping to provide all patients with the best possible care. Thus a goal of the NMT Program is to develop competent and professional nuclear medi-cine technologists, who by virtue of theory and practice are proficient in contempo-rary facets of nuclear medicine technology, are capable of passing the certification examination, and have a high degree of adaptability in a changing technology. A further aim is to develop qualities of leadership necessary for teaching and health-care administration.
Students are admitted in the fall term each year and complete twenty-two (22) months of combined academic and clinical education. Based upon a 40-hour per week sched-ule, students spend an average of 40 percent of their time in professional and general education courses at the college. The remaining time is spent in the college laboratory or in hospitals, obtaining a complete range of supervised clinical experience.
Upon completion of the program, students receive an Associate of Science degree and a program certificate from Santa Fe Community College. Graduates are eli-gible to take the national certification examinations administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. Persons passing the national examination(s) qualify for a Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist License from the State of Florida without additional testing.

RadiographyRadiographers exercise initiative and independent judgment in the performance of X-ray examinations for diagnosis of disease and injury. They also assist radiologists in fluoroscopic and special vascular procedures. Radiographers are in demand in nearly every community—in hospitals, physicians’ offices, clinics, government, edu-cation, industry and research.
Radiographers operate X-ray equipment, provide patient care, provide radiation protection, position patients for examination, select technical factors for optimum radiographic quality, produce and process radiographs, maintain quality control and maintain patients’ records. Other duties include use of mobile X-ray equipment in the emergency room, operating room and at the patient’s bedside. Other imaging modalities used by radiographers include ultrasound, CT scanning, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
The Radiography Program’s Mission Statement is: “To provide a comprehensive, competency-based radiologic curriculum to prepare a diverse group of graduates with entry-level skills needed to perform quality radiologic procedures and provide the patient with the best possible care.”
The goal of the program is to develop competent, entry-level radiographers who have the necessary knowledge to pass the certification examination and can adapt to changing technology. The Radiography Program also aims to develop leadership qualities necessary for teaching and healthcare administration.
The program is conducted in cooperation with Shands at AGH, Shands at UF, North Florida Regional Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and several hos-pital-affiliated outpatient imaging facilities. The Radiography Program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and by the State of Florida Department of Education.
Students are admitted in the fall term each year and complete twenty-two (22) months of combined academic and clinical education. Based upon a 40-hour per week schedule, students spend an average of 40 percent of their time in professional and general education courses at the college. The remaining time is spent in the college laboratory or in hospitals, obtaining a complete range of supervised clinical experience including the latest imaging modalities.
Upon completion of the program, students receive an Associate of Science degree and are eligible to take the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). ARRT certified radiogra-phers qualify to obtain a Certified General Radiographer License from the State of Florida without additional testing.

SonographyCo-directors:
Ms. Barbara Konter, Ms. Reeda Fullington Sonography Faculty:
Ms. Lyn Reed, Ms. Deanne BushSonography Coordinator: Ms. Lyn ReedSonography, better known as Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) at Santa Fe Community College, is a 12-month certificate program conducted in cooperation with local hospitals, imaging centers and hospitals in surrounding urban and rural settings. The program correlates classroom theory and laboratory experiences to provide a balance of courses to set the stage for students’ clinical competencies. Students’ clinical competency performance expectations increase with their tenure in the program.
The program was designed to accept those individuals already certified in an imaging science (Cardiovascular Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, and Radiography); however, it has expanded to include nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, and persons possessing baccalaureate degrees (the expanded group must complete required prerequisite coursework).
Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examinations offered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
Diagnostic medical sonography is a dynamic entity of the imaging sciences, which has grown rapidly over the past few years. The growth of sonography is projected to continue, which will lead to many employment opportunities nationwide. Salaries are very competitive when compared to other professions requiring similar levels of education.
Typically, sonographers are employed in clinics, hospitals, imaging centers, and physicians’ offices. Following additional academic preparation, other career oppor-tunities may become available in areas such as education, management, research and technical advisement.

Respiratory CareProgram Director:
Mr. Paul Stephan
Clinical Coordinator: Leah Carlson
Respiratory Care is a specialty instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, manage-ment and preventive care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may suffer from a variety of acute or chronic respiratory conditions which are either life threatening or disabling, such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema, emphysema, congenital defects, drowning, hemorrhage or shock. Through proper respiratory care and management, many patients who might not have sur-vived can now return to active lives. The respiratory therapist is a life-support spe-cialist. During emergency calls, which often are life or death situations, respiratory therapists are responsible for life support of the patient through airway manage-ment, artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage, and additional sophisticated emergency support measures. Respiratory therapists operate mechanical ventila-tors—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 therapeutic aerosols, oxygen, 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 Community College is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care. The program prepares its graduates to take virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory Care. The program provides a sound technical and theoretical base from which the student can have the educational advantage of lat-eral and upward mobility. An advanced standing policy is available for those appli-cants and students with previous respiratory therapy experience and/or education.

Surgical TechnologyProgram Director:
Paul StephanProgram Coordinator:

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 during surgery in an efficient manner. 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 respon-sibility, 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 depart-ments, and ambulatory care centers. Employment opportunities exist in medical sales and management roles in surgical services. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons as "private scrubs" and/or surgical first assistants. They are uti-lized in clinics, physicians' offices, and in home health care. Combining a broad edu-cational background with a specialized focus, CSTs may work in cardiac catheteriza-tion laboratories, delivery rooms, medical sales, product development, management roles in surgical services and research. Laser technology, biomedical engineering, technical writing, photography, illustration, and medical-legal auditing are other areas in which their education has valuable application. They have served in the Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number are instructors and directors of surgical technology programs.
The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Committee on Surgical Technology Education and graduates are qualified to take the Certification Examination in Surgical Technology. Achieving the CST credential is crucial for pro-fessional recognition and advancement.

Students who have completed EMT and paramedic coursework from a Joint Review Committee (JRC) accredited Paramedic Program and who have current certification may receive credit for the Professional Core Requirements. Students must achieve a grade of C or higher in all courses leading to the Associate of Science degree in Emergency Medical Services.
Paramedic ProgramProgram Coordinator:
Associate Director, Louis Mallory, M.B.A., REMT-P
Program Advisor:Mr. Louis Kalivoda
Faculty: Louis B. Mallory, M.B.A., REMT-PBrittany Martinelli, BSRT, MHSc, NREMT-P, Lead Paramedic InstructorMichael Flanagan, MSEd, REMT-P, Lead EMT/Fire InstructorTodd Brooks, NREMT-P, Lab Coordinator
The Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit program that is a minimum of 1100 clock hours in length and takes three full semesters to complete. Current Florida certification as an Emergency Medical Technician is required prior to apply-ing for entry into the Paramedic Program. The program begins in August of each year and requires a special application and acceptance process. Paramedics utilize advanced medical skills combined with the skills learned in EMT to render care in a variety of situations and settings. A paramedic is a member of the healthcare team that provides advanced life support to save lives jeopardized by trauma, cardiac events or other illnesses. Paramedics often make critical patient care decisions in situations where seconds and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Paramedics are often called upon to intervene in situations requiring the abil-ity to reason, rapidly make decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, and function under tremendous stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build. Santa Fe Community College’s Paramedic Program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee for the Accreditation of EMT-Paramedic Programs.
Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students may take the State of Florida Paramedic Certification or the National Registry Examination. Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification, **Anatomy and Physiology course (as either BSC2084/L OR BSC2085/L and 2086/L), Medical Terminology (HSC2531) and American Heart Association Healthcare Provider CPR, or its equivalent.** Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semes-ter Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).

The intent will be to view this period from a num-ber of perspectives and interpretations of the history, law, and literature of the Civil Rights Era.
BSC2932 THE SENSES (3) PThis Honors course investigates the question of how we construct a model of reality from sense inputs to the brain. It will begin with a brief introduction of naive realism and early concepts of how our major five senses work. Students trace the creation of a model of reality for one major sense. Students will follow a sensation from its initial physical stimulus, to sense organ acquisition and modification, to transducer stimulation, to nerve impulse conveyance, to brain reception, to finally, reality formulation and testing. As time allows, other possible senses will also be explored. Students will consider a number of theories proposed to account for our sense of reality, and examine the reasons for its successful articulation with the world.
CHM2931 CONSUMER CHEMISTRY (1) PBasic courses in physical science or college chemistry limit themselves to the introduction of four common types of chemical substances (ionic, molecular, macromolecular and metallic). This leaves little time for more than a cursory look at the chemicals in and around us. Yet, these are the very applications which are often of greatest interest and importance to students. After a brief review of chemical bonding and the properties of different categories of substances, this Honors course will look into several areas of consumer chemistry-fuels, polymers, fertilizers, pesticides, food and food additives, household cleaners, cosmetics, body chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
CHM2932 NUCLEAR SCIENCE & SOCIETY (1) PThis Honors course will cover the development of nuclear science. It will discuss nuclear energy and its advantages and disadvantages.

ENG1936 THE IDEA OF DRAMA: RENAISSANCE & CONTEMPORARY (3) PThe Idea of Drama: Renaissance and Contemporary focuses on two areas of knowledge. The first area is the contrast between the Renaissance and the Contemporary worldview. In the first half of the course students will read a representative sampling of Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies, and romances; in the second half students will read Samuel Beckett with a glance at Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, a play both Shakespearean and Beckettian. The Honors course thus works in two ways: first as a history of ideas course whose primary exemplification comes from dramatic literature; second as a course on two leading dramatists whose focus is on the history of ideas.
ENG2934 DADA, DUCHAMP, AND POST-MODERNISM (1) PThis Honors course traces the influence of Dadaism and Marcel Duchamp on the shifts in twentieth century consciousness that led to Post- Modernism. Duchamp and the Dadaists are responsible for a new emphasis on artistic change and on questions of artistic representation. This new emphasis influenced the plastic, literary and performing arts, as well as aesthetic theory.
EUH2032 HISTORY OF THE HOLOCAUST (3) PThis Honors course will examine the origins of the Holocaust in European anti-Semitism and other forms of racially discriminatory thinking and trace the development of such attitudes in Nazi Germany as it moved toward the elimination of entire groups of people during the Second World War. The goal is not only to provide an empirically grounded understanding of what is arguably one of the most important events of the twentieth century but to force students to confront history as a series of attitudes and behaviors-sometimes changing and sometimes remaining woefully the same-that continue to shape our lives.
HIS1921 THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY (3) PThis Honors course examines the American Presidency from both an institutional and an historical perspective, while including material and instruction on the presidential election process, current issues, and controversies. More than any other part of American government, the institution of the presidency has been shaped by the activities of the persons who have held the office. This course will examine the presidency in historical perspective beginning with the Constitutional base and indi-cating how the presidential section process and presidential roles have evolved over time as various presidents have shaped the institution. The course will also focus on presidential leadership and the strategies which presidents have developed for successfully fulfilling the multiple and complex presidential responsibilities. Current issues and controversies concerning the presidency will be dis-cussed.
HUM1936 MORAL AND MORTAL ISSUES (3) PThis seminar focuses upon a critical analysis of specific moral issues using historical and modern sources and methodology. Philosophies of moral decision-making, such as absolutism and rela-tivism, will be examined. The course is primarily an examination of modes of determining moral behavior.
IDH1611 FUTURE TRENDS: THE STATE OF THE WORLD AND ITS FUTURE (3) PThe Honors course will consider the present state of the world (with special emphasis on the United States, Florida, and Gainesville) and its possible futures. Specific topics include the economy, international relations, war, government, fuels, strategic minerals, agriculture, industry, technology, employment, education, population, environment, lifestyles, personal values, and changing percep-tions of progress. Students will write and run computer programs to simulate various models of the future.
IDH2905 INDIVIDUAL STUDY: HONORS VARIABLE HRS 1-3 PThe purpose of an individual Honors study is to assist the student in pursuing special academic interests in greater depth than is possible in existing courses.
IDH2931 LANGUAGE ORIGINS (1) PHow would you initiate a conversation with a Martian? Do non-human animals have language? Do they ever tell lies? How did human speech evolve? Is complex thinking possible without language?

The science of chaos cuts across traditional scientific disciplines to include new discoveries in mathematics, meteorology, engineering, etc. More recently, certain notions of chaos have carried over into the social sciences, influencing studies in psychology, anthropology and eco-nomics, as well as in literature and the humanities, where it has stimulated new approaches to criti-cal theory in art and literature, and reshaped the form and thematic content of the arts. Prerequisite: ENC1101
LIT1300 CULTURE/MASS CULTURE: STUDIES IN POPULAR CULTURE (3) PThis Honors course augments the knowledge of culture that students obtain in their required cours-es.
