President’s Message

Welcome to Santa Fe College.

There are the old and the new. Then there are both.

The name is now Santa Fe College. The new name went into effect when a state law dropped the word “community” and our institution became Santa Fe College. The change occurred because Santa Fe will offer its own bachelor’s degrees. SFC’s two initial degrees are Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Science and Health Services Administration.

Although new, the degrees spring from the philosophy that has always underlined every program at Santa Fe: this college exists to offer opportunities to all students and in doing so enable our state to prosper.

New degrees have not changed Santa Fe’s old traditions. Santa Fe still is an open admissions college. The college still offers support services to assist students from every background, Academic Foundations to prepare students for college level work, and is governed by a local independent board of trustees that understands our community.

Again, I welcome you to a Santa Fe College that offers new opportunities and remains committed to our heritage of access, service and an abiding belief in every student.

Jackson N. Sasser

President, Santa Fe College

History of the College Santa Fe College was established by the state government in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education. Florida’s legislature, governor and Department of Educa-tion were responding to a request from the Alachua and Bradford county Boards of Public Instruction, which had canvassed the area to find that the community would be well served if all citizens had more opportunities for an education and better life.

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

Enrollment has grown rapidly. Fewer than 1,000 students enrolled when classes were first offered in September 1966. Today, 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. The Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in the Alachua area is planned for opening in 2009.

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 addi-tion of the Lillian Stump Center. The Blount Center opened in 1990 in the renovated 6th Street railroad depot, expand-ed in 1993 with the addition of the renovated Gainesville Gas Co. Building, and again in 2006 with the new Blount Classroom Building. The Davis Center opened in 2004. The Watson Center opened in 2005 with a second building added in 2006. The Perry Center in Alachua is scheduled for opening in 2009. All the centers were built with funds raised in community drives headed by the SFC Foundation and operate to bring educational opportunity to residents in the college’s Alachua-Bradford County service district.

The college has expanded education programs by increas-ing the number of classes offered by electronic means such as the Internet and live broadcasts to the SFC centers. More than 3,000 students take Internet classes through the Open Campus.

SFC 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 programs that are designed to meet the needs of students and community and a helpful learn-ing environment that enables students to do their best.

Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe became a state college in 2008 when it was authorized by Florida’s Governor and Legislature to offer baccalaureate degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. Bachelor of Applied Science programs in Clinical Laboratory Science and Health Services Administration are scheduled for opening at SFC in fall 2009.

The college’s educational offerings still are primarily the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Ap-plied Science, and Community Education programs. The Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students in this program intend to trans-fer to four-year colleges or universities. SFC sends more students to the University of Florida than does any other institution. Many former SFC students go to other four-year schools, public and private, in and out of state.

Career and Technical Education consists generally of A.S., A.A.S. and certificate programs that prepare students for entry into a career, although some programs are transfer-able to universities. Surveys show that more than 90 per-cent of students in these programs either enter a career or proceed to further higher education. Community Educa-tion offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth.

In all its programs, the college offers classes to suit the schedules of students. In addition to full semesters, SFC has classes in a half semester “flexterm” format, evening and “earlybird” classes that can be taken after or before a student goes to work, and classes on Saturdays.

Academic life is highlighted by the SFC-University of Florida Foreign Languages Institute, an Honors Program, Phi Theta Kappa, a speech and debate team, a Brain Bowl, and an International Initiative that features many study abroad programs.

SFC’s Kirkpatrick Criminal Justice Training Center edu-cates law enforcement and corrections officer recruits and offers programs to retrain sworn officers. The Kirkpatrick Center also educates students in the Emergency Medical Services, Fire Sciences and Aviation Sciences programs.

The college is dedicated to economic development. The Center for Innovation and Economic Development, located in a newly refurbished building at University Avenue and NW 6th Street, custom designs short, long and “eLearning” online courses for professionals, businesses, industries and governments, and offers incubator services that en-able new businesses to establish themselves.

Students seeking bachelor’s degrees from institutions other than SFC can take classes at several colleges and universities through the SFC University Center without leaving Gainesville.

The student-centered learning environment at SFC is sustained by a network of counselors, advisors and help-ful programs. Academic advisors give advice on classes to take. Students can choose group support by joining a “learning community” in which they take several courses with the same group of students. 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. The college offers the Little School, an on-campus child care center.

Veterans are honored with active ROTC programs and the SFC Veterans Affairs office that serves students at SFC and the University of Florida.

Campus life is rounded out with a student government, student clubs, activities and intramural athletics. The col-lege competes intercollegiately in women’s fastpitch soft-ball, men’s baseball, and men’s and women’s basketball.

SFC offers many cultural activities to enrich the com-munity’s quality of life. The Santa Fe Gallery, located on 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 an-nually both on campus and at the Phillips Center, serving both the college and the public. Music Santa Fe sponsors workshops and performances in diverse musical tradi-tions. SFC’s annual Spring Arts Festival attracts 130,000 visitors to Gainesville and is one of the community’s larg-est economic events. Santa Fe’s Bradford Fest is a leading community event in Bradford County.

The college presents sciences to the public. Adjoining each other in the “Circle of Science” on the SFC Northwest Cam-pus are the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium, the Jean Klein Rock Cycle Garden which is a series of large boulders arranged in geological order with interpretative plaques along a cir-cular, park-like walkway, and a geological atrium in Build-ing X that houses rocks, fossils and exhibits. Nearby is the SFC North Woods nature preserve with a self guided trail

Santa Fe’s Teaching Zoo is the only nationally accredited zoo on a college campus and attracts 40,000 visitors per year. The college offers to students and researchers its Geological Studies Field Station, a large network of caverns near Newberry in rural Alachua County.

Outreach Centers and Programs

Andrews CenterIn 1983 the historic courthouse in Bradford County, and some of the surrounding properties, were contributed to and purchased by the Santa Fe College Endowment Corpo-ration to establish a major academic center in Starke. This $2.5 million asset includes a turn-of-the-century facility that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Renovation of the historic courthouse was the responsi-bility of the Endowment Corporation, which restored the interior to accommodate classrooms, laboratories, offices, a study room and student lounge. In addition 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 Build-ing, a century-old structure in downtown Starke, was renovated by private donations made to the Endowment Corporation. The $700,000 renovation project provided the college and the community with a performing arts audito-rium/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 approxi-mately 4,000 square foot facility that includes four major college classrooms plus faculty and staff office space. The Stump Education Center, a $400,000 project of the Endow-ment 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 continuing education classes. In October of 2007 the new Bradford County Public Library opened adjacent to the Lillian Stump Education Center. Through financial support from the college, the library contains a 17 station computer lab for use by Andrews Center classes and other community groups and organiza-tions. The college also provided three computers that are in a dedicated area for access by dual enrollment students.

Blount Center In 1988 the City of Gainesville deeded the old train depot on NW 6th Street to the SFC 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 com-munity.

In the spring of 1993 the SFC 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 provide additional upper level classes to an increased student population.

In December 1993 the Downtown Center was named for Charles L. Blount, its major contributor and fundraiser with more than $3 million contributed to establish the center. Charles Blount and his wife Patsy established a $3 million scholarship program 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 govern-

ment that occupy the downtown complex• To provide an opportunity for community meeting

rooms at no cost to civic clubs, business and profes-sional 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 classes, along with the regular day classes, make it easier for individuals to fit college into their busy schedules.

In 2005 the SFC East Gainesville Initiative and Community Outreach offices were relocated to the Charles L. Blount Center. In the following year Santa Fe’s offices for adminis-tering the Carl D. Perkins Education Act were also relo-cated to the center.

In the spring of 2006 the new Charles L. Blount General Classroom Building opened. It contains approximately 10,000 square feet, seven classrooms, an art classroom, a computer lab, a testing lab, offices for adult education and programs, and offices for faculty and academic advisors.

In fall 2006 the college made both interior and exterior upgrades to the old Gainesville Gas Co. building to develop SFC’s nexus for business and professional development. The Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED) opened in the spring of 2007. CIED hosts the col-lege’s Center for Business and the Entrepreneur Incubator, and offers rental space for meetings, workshops, and semi-nars. The SFC Center for Business provides short-term, non-credit “training for excellence” for people or compa-nies desiring improvement of skills.

Davis Center In the fall of 2003 the Ron and Norita Davis and Family Davis Center opened to help people in the southwestern part of Alachua County and the surrounding Archer area to enroll in classes rather than have to journey 21 plus miles to the Northwest Gainesville campus. The center will pro-mote advancement and enhancement of higher education and potential vocational training programs locally.

The more than 10,000 square foot facility includes six general classrooms, a computer lab, ITV classroom, a com-munity boardroom, faculty and staff offices, and a com-munity/common meeting room.

The 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 organiza-tions to provide additional funding for the establishment of the Davis Center was comprised of more than 26 com-munity leaders.

Perry Center The Charles R. and Nancy V. Perry Emerging Technology Center, located in the City of Alachua, is scheduled to open for classes in fall 2009. This facility began in 2005 with a substantial contribution from Charles and Nancy Perry to-taling more than $1.36 million. The community embraced the idea and raised an additional $2 million to help with the construction.

The new 17,367 square foot facility includes two class-rooms; computer, biology and biotech labs; director’s office and five faculty offices; plus conference room, clean lab, prep room and storage area. The center will promote the advancement of higher education in life sciences and health education as home of the college’s Associate of Sci-ence in Biotechnology program and the new Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

Watson Center In January of 2005 the Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson Center opened to promote the advancement of higher education for students in southeast Bradford County and the surrounding Keystone Heights-Lake Re-gion area. The Watsons donated $3.4 million to make the facility possible. They also made a gift that resulted in the establishment of the $1.4 million permanently endowed Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson Scholarship.

The Watson Center’s first building included six gen-eral education classrooms, a computer lab, community boardroom, faculty and staff offices, community/common meeting area and an office for the Bradford County consti-tutional 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.

Kirkpatrick Center

Institute of Public Safety The Institute of Public Safety at the Kirkpatrick Center is located at 3737 NE 39th Avenue, approximately 11 miles east of the Santa Fe College Northwest Campus. It is home to the Institute of Public Safety and the Criminal Justice Selection Center, which is housed on 60 acres on the East side of Gainesville across from the Gainesville Regional Airport.

The Institute of Public Safety at the Kirkpatrick Center is a full-service training center, complete with a firearms and driving range, providing basic, advanced and specialized instruction in corrections, emergency medical services, fire science and law enforcement. Successful completion of these programs will typically lead to basic certification, except for fire science, and is designed for those students seeking immediate employment. Additionally, the college offers Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Sci-ence Degrees in Criminal Justice Technology, Emergency Medical Services and Fire Science.

Open Campus Beginning 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 North-west Campus. A wide selection of courses is available to help students complete A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees or Career and Technical Education certificates. All courses carry credit equal to the same courses taught in traditional classrooms at any SFC campus location. Students inter-act with their instructor and classmates using discussion boards, e-mail, 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 arrangements can be made for this at remote sites.

Because Open Campus classes offer the convenience and flexibility of attending college from a personal computer via the Internet, students can continue their education while still managing a job, family activities or other class-es. 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 e-mail. The courses are designed to run with current computer technology and students need good, dependable access to the Internet.

Community Education Program (Non-Credit) Santa Fe College is dedicated to lifelong learning. Com-munity Education at SFC provides educational opportuni-ties to all members of the community through enrichment programs. These programs, offered at Santa Fe’s cam-puses, online, and in community schools, present classes taught by community members and SFC faculty and staff who enjoy bringing their special skills to interested stu-

18

w w w . s f c o l l e g e . e d u

dents. Community Education also offers College for Kids, a summer camp program for children ages 10-14. Commu-nity 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 Educa-tion program is self-supporting, there are no scholarships or waivers, except for persons 60 and over when a class meets certain requirements. Visit online at www.mysfcol-lege.com.

In 2008 SFC was selected as one of 15 colleges nationwide to participate in the Plus 50 three-year initiative, which will develop and benchmark models for innovative pro-grams reaching out to students over age 50. The project is funded with a $3.2 million grant from the Atlantic Philan-thropies and is led by the American Association of Com-munity Colleges (AACC).

The grant provides SFC $40,000 over three years toward curriculum development, staff, and marketing. The grant is being administered through the Community Education program and the PrimeTime Institute.

Center for Innovation and Economic Development Inspiration, education and transformation can happen at the Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED), Santa Fe’s nexus for business, entrepreneurship and professional development. CIED is home to SFC’s Cen-ter for Business and the college’s Entrepreneur Incubator. CIED offers more than 4,000 square feet of comfortable, affordable, high-tech space ideal for meetings, trainings, workshops and seminars. Visit online at www.sfcollege.edu/cied.

Center for Business The Center for Business at Santa Fe College provides customized corporate and individual training opportu-nities for professional workforce skill enhancement and continuing education. Courses are offered online and in classrooms in both Alachua and Bradford counties. Classes at the Center for Business allow individuals to enhance their skills and/or receive training to help them achieve or recertify professional licenses. Class subjects range from computer technology training and time management skills to CPR, child development, insurance and business skills, as well as industry-specific workforce training. No waivers are available for continuing education classes. Visit online at www.sfcollege.edu/cfb.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Students who complete continuing education courses may earn continuing education units (CEUs). CEUs are gener-ated when a student completes a non-credit activity. They are not transferable for college credit. CEUs are standard-ized, based on the number of hours a class is taught. CEUs allow professional organizations and certifying agencies to grant recognition for participation in a continuing educa-tion class that fosters professional growth. The college keeps a record of each student’s CEUs and transcripts are available on request. Visit online at www.sfcollege.edu/cfb.

Corporate Workforce Education and Training Corporate (contract) workforce training is the provision of courses to meet the needs of a particular business or industry. Training is done at an SFC campus or at the busi-ness to meet specific requirements in a variety of subject areas. The course curriculum is customized to meet the particular needs of the organization and its staff. Corpo-rate training may include credit or non-credit courses. In addition, staff members write and administer Quick Response Training Grants for Workforce Florida. A laptop computer lab is available for use by the business com-munity through SFC’s Center for Business. Visit online at www.sfcollege.edu/cfb.

Entrepreneur IncubatorSFC’s Entrepreneur Incubator helps entrepreneurs grow new companies. Here they can find business development support, mentoring and advice, administrative and techni-cal assistance, and work and meeting space.

Professional Development Classes are offered as open enrollment opportunities for those seeking to improve their professional skills, gain a new skill, or achieve/renew certifications. The program includes continuing education courses for nurses, child development professionals, insurance and real estate agents and many others. Various computer software, networking, and special technology skill classes are also offered through the Center for Business.

satisfy requirements for any college preparatory or Gordon Rule course.

Santa Fe College accepts transfer course work from region-ally accredited institutions. In addition, the college is in compliance with and participates in the Florida Depart-ment of Education Statewide Course Numbering System for courses at non-regionally accredited institutions under the state of Florida K-16 Articulation Agreement.

In accordance with §1001.64(8)(a) F.S., Santa Fe 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 ap-plicants 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 stu-dents 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 10 calendar days of the date the notice was received.

Assessment and PlacementRule 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 mathematics 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, provided the scores are less than two years old.

ALL first-time-in-college (freshman) A.A.-degree seeking students beginning in fall 2009 who are exempted from taking the CPT based on their ACT or SAT scores will be required to take the College Level Math (CLM) portion of the CPT to determine proper mathematics placement.

Potential students are encouraged to apply to the college and take the CPT as early as possible.

Students who score below the designated state cut-scores are required to develop college level skills and are encour-aged to do so before they enroll in college level courses. Both public and private providers are available. Students can also take college remediation courses while they at-tend Santa Fe.

Students whose native language is not English may have additional testing requirements.

The Santa Fe Assessment Center will administer the CPT on a walk-in basis, Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.-2 p.m. in Building G, room 25. A picture ID is required (driver’s license, military ID, passport). Exempted from this testing requirement are the following:

A. All students who have earned an Associate of Arts degree or higher from an accredited institution in the United States

B. All students intending to enroll in vocational

courses only, special programs and seminars, or any of the unrestricted courses and programs in any term’s registration schedule

C. All transfer or readmission students who have satis-factorily completed College Composition (ENC 1101) or equivalent and Intermediate Algebra (MAT1033) or College Algebra (MAC1105) or equivalent with a C or better.

The placement testing requirement is intended to provide the college with an indication of the student’s achievement of college level communication and computation compe-tencies. Students whose placement test scores are below college level will enroll in college preparatory courses. These courses will earn credits, but will not be counted toward meeting the required or elective credits necessary for the Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Arts degree.

Advisement Center

Associate of Arts Degree Advisement Santa Fe College is committed to quality academic advis-ing for all students. Our mission is to help students reach their educational goals from matriculation to graduation. The A.A. Advisement Center acts as an information and referral center with timely and accurate information for students regarding admissions advisement and A.A. degree graduation requirements. Advisors help A.A. students plan their program of study for transfer to a four-year university. All new students (first-time-in-college and transfer) must attend orientation, either on campus or online, prior to meeting with an academic advisor. All current and return-ing students are required to view their degree audit via

eSantaFe or meet with an advisor for proper course selec-tion prior to registration. Location R-201 (NW Campus) Phone (352) 395-5503 Advising Hours Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Friday 1-4:30 p.m.Students may make an appointment or be seen on a walk-in basis. Advisors are also available at the Blount, Andrews, Watson and Davis Centers.

If you plan to transfer to one of Florida’s state universities, the Associate of Arts degree (A.A. degree) is the transfer-able degree. The A.A. degree contains the general educa-tion portion (lower division) of the baccalaureate degree (B.A. degree).

To help us advise you properly, please make sure you have indicated which university you want to transfer to and what major you would like to study. It is extremely help-ful to have your academic program fully planned no later than the beginning of the second term. All A.A. students must indicate a major or program code by the time they have completed 24 college level hours (effective summer registration 2005).

Students who have not indicated a major upon comple-tion of 24 hours will be blocked from registration. Students who are still undecided about their major, students who do not plan to transfer to a university, or students who do not see their major listed must select one of the three general interest categories under program codes 1100 (Social & Behavioral Sciences), 1105 (Science & Engineering), or 1110 (Humanities & Letters).

A.A. students can select their major online via eSantaFe by selecting Change Major on the menu. Choosing a major does not commit you to that selection; you can change your major at any time. The A.A. Advisement Center can give you specific information about the university and major of your choice.

If you have questions about a major, please meet with an advisor in R-201. If you are undecided, please contact a ca-reer counselor in the Counseling Center, S-255 or visit the career counselor in the A.A. Advisement Center, R-210.

Career and Technical Education Advisement Students interested in any of the Career and Technical Education programs, which have selective admission re-quirements, are urged to contact the appropriate program advisor as early as possible. Admission to the college does not guarantee entry into any program that has selective admission requirements. Career and Technical Education programs offered at the college are listed on page 65.

High school graduation or a high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state board of education is re-quired of all applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SFC with four exceptions:

• Non-high school graduates 18 years of age, or older students possessing certificates 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 accor-dance with the regulations set by those organiza-tions.

• 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 students should have complet-ed courses in English, social studies, mathematics and the natural sciences.

• In the case of a student who is home educated, a signed, notarized affidavit submitted by the stu-dent’s parent or legal guardian attesting that the student has completed a home education program pursuant to the requirements of §232.02(4) F.S. is required. This affidavit may be obtained in the Of-fice of Admissions (Building R, room 112) or online at www.sfcollege.edu/admissions.

Note: Students who have earned high school certificates of completion should contact the Welcome and Admissions Center in Building R, room 112 for information regarding college course work.

High School Dual Enrollment Program Santa Fe College, in cooperation with the School Boards of Alachua and Bradford counties, provides dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. County articulation agreements specify eligibility for program options. Tuition is free and textbooks are loaned free of charge to students affiliated with a public school. Private and home schooled students (not affiliated with a public school) must pur-chase their own college textbooks. The free and reduced lunch program is available to those students affiliated with an Alachua County public school. 1. Technology and Applied Science Dual Enrollment

(Career and Technical Programs) Selected eleventh and twelfth grade students who qualify through the CPT, SAT or ACT, their GPA and other criteria, enroll in Career and Technical Programs on campus. Once accepted, students register for the full-time program enrolling in college technology, high school and/or college academic course work 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 Voca-tional Technical Center are available to Bradford High School juniors and seniors.)

School of Construction Eleventh and twelfth grade Alachua County students may enroll in the School of Construction. This program provides an early entry opportunity for high school students to study one of the professional construction trades. The School of Construction offers courses in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, masonry, and heating and air conditioning. After graduation from high school, students will be eligible for the college’s Apprenticeship Program.

High school students may choose one of two options for the School of Construction:

Full-time Dual Enrollment Under this program, stu-dents will take either high school or college classes to meet high school graduation requirements, and college construction classes on the SFC campus.

Part-time Dual Enrollment Students choosing this option take academic classes at their home high school during the morning and attend the college in the after-noon for construction classes. For information about this program call Tony Pavai at (352) 395-5048 or the Dual Enrollment office at (352) 395-5490.

2. College Academic Dual Enrollment Juniors and seniors who qualify through the CPT, SAT or ACT, their GPA and other criteria, are eligible to become full-time College Academic Dual Enrollment students. These students take all college academic courses that lead toward an Associate of Arts degree. College courses also meet high school graduation requirements. All Associate of Arts degree course work 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 Pro-gram. All students must qualify through the CPT, SAT or ACT, their GPA and other criteria. Once accepted, students register for college Fine Arts, high school and/or college academic course work to fulfill high school graduation requirements. College Fine Arts courses also apply toward an Associate of Arts degree.

College placement 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 through twelve may participate in this option.)

5. Part-time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Eligible juniors and seniors may enroll in college studio art, dance, music or theatre courses. 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 is administered at Santa Fe College and is free to students 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. Applica-tions for fall enrollment at the Northwest Campus will be accepted beginning in January. Notification of acceptance begins the end of May. The program fills quickly, so stu-dents should submit an application and college placement test results as early as possible.

Family and Student Educational Rights (FERPA)In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Florida Statutes (Privacy Rights of Parents and Students), the college has identified as “directory information” a student’s name, local address, telephone number, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. This information is available to the public. Other information about students can be released only when a written authorization, signed by the student, is presented to the college.

Any student who does not want this directory informa-tion 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 speci-fied 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 telephone number of each student enrolled. Copies of that listing are occasionally made available to companies who wish to contact SFC students.

28

w w w . s f c o l l e g e . e d u

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 re-quest 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 responsibilities, as custodians of educa-tional records:

Vice President for Student Affairs: Portia Taylor

College Registrar: Lynn Sullivan

If students wish to challenge the accuracy of their educa-tional records, questions may be settled through informal hearings or upon the request of either party (the educa-tional 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 con-taining 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 student believe that the stu-dent was entitled to a higher grade.

Parents or guardians desiring access to the records of a student who is their dependent 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 writing 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 classified 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 Office of Records if you would like to petition to reclassify your residency status.

1009.21 Determination of resident status for tuition purposes Students shall be classified as residents or non-residents for the purpose of assessing tuition fees in public commu-nity colleges and universities. (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 juris-diction 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 oc-cupied 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. Ex-ample: A “resident for tuition purposes” is a person who qualifies as provided in subsection (2) for the in-state tuition rate; a “non-resident 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 imme-diately 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, further, 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 domicile, rather than for the purpose of maintaining a mere tempo-rary 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 pur-poses 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 qualifi-cation, 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 relative has exercised day-to-day care, super-vision, and control of the child.

• The legal residence of a dependent child whose parents are divorced, separated, 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 indi-vidual income tax provisions.

(3) An individual shall not be classified as a resident for tu-ition 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 pre-sented by the individual. However, the legal residence of an individual whose parents are domiciled 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 reregis-tering at the institution of higher education at which resident status for tuition purposes is sought.

(5) In making a domiciliary determination related to the

29

Ad

mis

sio

ns

classification of a person as a resident or non-resident 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 residence in this state and subsequently qualifying or continuing to qualify as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage to a person domiciled outside this state, even when that person’s spouse continues to be do-miciled 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 residence in this state and subse-quently 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 ascer-taining domiciliary intent.

(6) Any non-resident person, irrespective of sex, who mar-ries 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 resi-dent 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 depen-dent child, his parent or parents 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 res-ident 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 gradu-ates from an institution of higher education while classified as a resident for tuition purposes and who subsequently 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 pur-poses without 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 main-tains 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 members 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 uni-versity within 50 miles of the military establishment where they are stationed, if such military establish-ment is within a county contiguous to Florida.

(c) United States citizens living on the Isthmus of Pan-ama, 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 person-nel employed by state public schools, community colleges, and institutions of higher education, as defined in s. 1000.04, and their spouses and depen-dent 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 education.

(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 cor-rections 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 certifi-cate.

(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 university within 50 miles of the military establishment where they are stationed.

(k) Active duty members of a foreign nation’s military who are serving as liaison officers and are resid-ing or stationed in this state, and their spouses and dependent children, attending a community college or state university within 50 miles of the military establishment where the foreign liaison officer is stationed.

Petitions for reclassification of residency status and all necessary accompanying documentation must be submit-ted to the Office of Records 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 ses-sions 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 SFC except with special permission.

Computer Access PolicyIn the 21st century ongoing use of an Internet connected computer is a requirement for successful completion of college programs. Santa Fe College expects and requires that all students acquire access to the computer hardware and software necessary for their programs. The cost of meeting this requirement varies from student to student, but may include purchase or lease of a computer and/or printer, Internet access fees, software purchases, and cost of maintenance and supplies. Costs of meeting this re-quirement will be included in financial aid considerations. No student will be denied access to Santa Fe College be-cause of an inability to purchase or lease a computer, and accordingly, the college offers access to computers through its computer labs and the library.

General Specifications • Computer with DVD drive • Internet access• E-mail• Web browser—Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 • Word processor and spreadsheet software (Micro-

soft Office, OpenOffice)• Contact your program area for discipline-specific

software and software requirements

Recommended Specifications Personal Computer IntelR CoreTG2 Duo Processor; 2 GB memory; 160 GB hard drive; 16x DVD RW drive; broad-band; 19” flat panel monitor; inkjet or laser printer; MS Windows XP or Vista; virus scanning software.

Minimum Specifications Open Campus courses, as well as any course using an on-line component, are delivered by the Angel LMS (Learning Management System). The Angel LMS supports specific browsers, namely Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. This is true for Windows and Mac OS X. Some courses may require specific software such as Microsoft Office and so forth. Your computer should be fast enough that you do not feel hampered by its speed or capabilities. Almost any computer purchased new in the past five years is capable of running one of the supported browsers. Support for spe-cific extra software such as Microsoft Office may require a specific operating system that will have its own require-ments. In general, your instructor must be able to open and view any documents and so forth that you create as part of your course work. SFC faculty and staff use Microsoft Of-fice, which is also installed in labs.

Financial AidMany students who need financial assistance are able to obtain help through scholarships, loans, grants and part-time work. Financial aid programs at SFC include but are not limited to Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitive-ness 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.

SFC’s Board of Trustees offers scholarships to outstand-ing students in the following areas: Athletics, the College Achievement Program, Academics (Honors and Need Based), Creative Arts, Public Service, Student Ambassa-dor, Student Government, and Technology and Applied Sciences.. Inquiries should be directed to Financial Aid, Scholarship Office, Building R, in the student services complex or by calling (352) 395-5470. In addition, there are privately funded scholarships offered to SFC students by Santa Fe’s Endowment Corporation. Information may be obtained from the Office for Development.

Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid by March 15 for the following academic year starting with the fall term. Detailed information concerning financial aid is available in the Financial Aid Handbook. You may obtain this information by visiting the Financial Aid Web site at www.sfcollege.edu or writing to the Financial Aid Office, Building R, room 122, 3000 NW 83rd Street, 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. For this and other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcollege.edu.

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 responsibility of the stu-dent 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 withdrawal must be obtained from the College Prep advisor or chairperson.

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 Re-cords, Building R, room 101. Refunds past published dead-lines 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 SFC Records Office, Building R, room 101.

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

College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full for course work dropped during the drop/add period or canceled by the college. However, the federal refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiving financial aid and completely withdraw-ing from the college.

For specific information about the refund/repayment poli-cy, please visit the Financial Aid Web site at www.sfcollege.edu or call a financial aid specialist at (352) 395-5480.

Last Day to Drop With RefundA student who withdraws from the college for one or more courses during the first five instructional days of fall, spring and summer terms, or during the first three instruc-tional days of flexterm, may receive a full refund of fees paid for the course work officially discontinued. Courses officially dropped will be removed from the student’s re-cord. The official deadline date for fee refunds will be pub-lished in the college academic calendar, online at www.sfcollege.edu, and in the enrollment guide. These refunds are automatically processed without further action by the student. Refund checks will be processed and distributed as soon as possible; a fair expectation for their receipt would be approximately three weeks after the deadline.

If the college cancels a class at any time prior to its comple-tion, the student’s enrollment 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 col-lege. The college will notify the student and the college will initiate the refund process.

Refunds will be processed after the fee refund deadline dates. For these and other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcollege.edu. While refund checks will be processed and distributed as soon as pos-sible, a fair expectation for their receipt would be approxi-mately two weeks after the deadline.

Student Financial ObligationsStudents shall be held responsible for their financial obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, a student who is delinquent in satisfying such obligations shall not be permitted to graduate, register, receive a transcript for completed course work or benefit from other regular col-lege services. Student financial obligations include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• fee deferments;• delinquent payments (e.g. Short Term Loan, Per-

kins, Title IV Repayments, Accounts Receivable);• unpaid matriculation, tuition, laboratory or other

fees associated with registration;• unpaid fines or penalties duly assessed by appropri-

ate college authorities;• checks or epayments drawn to the order of the col-

lege that have been returned because of insufficient funds or any other reason.

Any student who has paid for course registration fees with a check or epayment that is dishonored for any reason must make immediate restitution to the college. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitu-tion is unlikely, the student’s registration will be canceled. In no instance shall the student’s enrollment be continued beyond the point where the dishonored check has been rejected by the bank on resubmission.

Audit 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 stu-dents pay the same tuition fees, application fees, labora-tory fees and special fees as credit students.

Lab Fees The lab fee schedule is available at Santa Fe’s Web site, www.sfcollege.edu. Select Class Schedule, View the Course Schedule, then Fee Information.

Credit FeesIf you are not currently attending Santa Fe College you must submit one of the following to the Welcome Center, Building R, room 112:

Official College NotificationsSanta Fe College (SFC) uses eSantaFe to send official notifications to students including, but not limited to, notifications regarding financial aid, student records, ad-missions, registration, and academic status. Students are responsible for accessing their student records and student notifications via eSantaFe. All SFC students are expected to access their eSantaFe account from SFC’s home page for important information regarding their student records. An e-mail reminder is sent to students informing them of any notifications; however, it is strongly advised that students regularly and frequently check their eSantaFe account and keep their e-mail address up to date in Santa Fe’s student records system. Failure to do so may cause students to miss critical information that may affect a student’s status.

Petitions CommitteeThe college Petitions Committee reviews student peti-tions to adjust records and makes recommendations to the college registrar for approval or denial. The committee is composed of SFC faculty and staff. Students may petition through the committee to drop a course with a full refund or to withdraw from a course after the published with-drawal date.

Petitions to Drop With a Refund or for Late Withdrawal Students 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 withdrawal date for reasons of extreme hardship that can be documented, may consult the Office of Records (Build-ing R, room 101) about petitioning for removal of the course

record and refund of fees or a late withdrawal. College Rule 7.16 establishes, pursuant to Florida State Rule 6A-14.54, conditions under which fees may be refunded to students. The college rule states: Fees may also be refunded when a student drops a course due to any of the following emer-gency circumstances beyond the control of the student:

A. Illness of a student of such severity or duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude completion of the course(s).

B. Death of the student or death in the immediate fam-ily (parent, spouse, child, or sibling).

C. Involuntary call to active military duty.D. A situation where the college is in error.E. A change of a course or section(s) initiated by the

college because of a cancellation, time, and/or loca-tion.

F. Other emergency circumstances that may be approved by the college president or his/her designee(s).

Petition forms are available in the Office of Records, Build-ing R, room 101, or on the Petitions Web site. The student is expected to present a clear and convincing written rationale along with supporting documentation for the petition. Written support from physicians, instructors and others may be necessary. Each petition is considered on an individual basis. Please visit the Petitions Web site at www.sfcollege.edu for additional procedural information and to print the appropriate forms.

The SFC Petitions Committee meets weekly to review stu-dent 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 via the college’s official notification system, which may be accessed through eSantaFe.

Petitions for Graduation Waivers or Course Substitutions The committee that considers petitions for graduation waivers or course substitutions consists of advisors from the Office of Academic Advisement. Students may petition to substitute a course(s) within discipline areas toward completion of their degree. Please refer to the Petitions Web site for additional information regarding procedures and to obtain the appropriate form(s).

Student Conduct CodeStudents enrolled at Santa Fe College are expected to con-duct themselves in a manner that will reflect favorably on the college, the community and themselves. Each student is advised to become familiar with the Student Conduct Code and to abide by it. The Student Conduct Code can be found at www.sfcollege.edu. A copy of the Student Conduct Code may be obtained from the vice president for Student Affairs office in Building R, room 211.

The executive board, elected each spring by the student body, is charged with the overall administration of SG. The four executive officers work with an executive cabinet to ensure a student presence on various committees to

represent students’ interests to the college administra-tion. Cabinet positions are great ways to begin on-campus involvement.

The student senate is comprised of representatives from student organizations, academic senators representing specific majors, and at-large members representing the general student populace. As the legislative body for SG, the senate votes on resolutions, allocates funding, and ap-proves the charters for new student organizations. Senate meetings, held each Wednesday at 4 p.m. in S-29/30, are open to everyone.

Student government programming (SGP) puts on large-scale programs open to all students. A sampling of this year’s programs includes: Hispanic Heritage Month food tasting, movie nights, Fall Fest, Black History Month block party, spring concert series, Casino Night, Art on the Grove, and trips to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. The SGP leadership team is always looking for additional members to help plan and implement these fun programs. SGP meets every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in S-141.

For more information on SG, stop by S-147 or visit www.sfcollege.edu/studentgovernment.

All applicants whose native language or ex-clusive language of instruction is not English must submit a recent (two years or less) Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination score with a minimum score of 400 on the paper test or 32 on the Internet-based test. Please refer to the most recent International Student Admission Checklist.

All necessary paperwork for admission must be received in the International Student Services office two months prior to the semester start date. International students will not be accepted during B terms. The only exception is if a stu-dent is applying for the Adult Education Program (4100). The application, checklist and deadlines for international students can be accessed online at www.sfcollege.edu/iss.

Check-in RequirementAll international students must check in at the Interna-tional Student Services office with all of their original documentation proving their status prior to registering for classes. Such documentation may include passport, visa, I-94, I-20, DS-2019, Employment Authorization Document (EAD Card), I-797 (approval/receipt letters), Asylee Ap-proval Letters, and so forth.

HousingSanta Fe does not provide on-campus housing. The Inter-national Student Services office is unable to make rental reservations, negotiate lease agreements or act as an agent for the students. Referral information is made available solely to aid students in their search for housing. Interna-tional students desiring more information may contact the International Student Services office, Building R, room 102, phone (352) 395-5504 or visit the Web site at www.sfcollege.edu.

International Students Requiring or on F-1 Student VisasSanta Fe College is authorized by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to enroll non-immigrant alien students on F-1 visas. If the student already has a valid I-20 a transfer form is also required and the new I-20 can only be issued after the release date set in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).

College financial aid is not available to non-immigrant students on F-1 visas whose parents/legal guardians do not reside in the U.S. Non-immigrant students may not be employed while attending college in the United States, unless the International Student Services office and the USCIS have granted permission. Normally, employment is not granted although, occasionally, on-campus employ-ment is authorized.

To maintain non-immigrant student status, students must enroll for a minimum of 12 credit hours every fall and spring term. If summer is their first term, they must enroll in 12 credits during that summer term. Failure to maintain enrollment will result in the loss of student status and pos-sible deportation. Santa Fe has an International Student Services office to help international students make the transition from their home countries to Santa Fe Col-

lege. The staff will gladly help students with immigration regulations, educational planning, personal problems, and other areas of concern. Contact james.schwartz@sfcol-lege.edu for additional information.

Health Insurance for International Students on F-1 VisasStudents on F-1 visas are required, per SFC Board Rule 7.6, to provide proof of health insurance. The college has contracted with Insurance for College Students (IFCS) to certify that insurance coverage meets the minimum re-quirements. Contact IFCS for additional information at:

• collegeinsurance@bellsouth.net• www.insuranceforstudents.com• www.ifcs.us• (800) 971-3921

Career Resource Center The Santa Fe Career Resource Center maintains infor-mational resources to assist students in choosing career goals, majors, colleges, and life directions, and to learn the steps that lead toward those goals. We offer computer-ized assessments of a person’s interests, values, personal-ity and other relevant factors. These are used to suggest career fields that may be worthy of investigation. Our assessments do not attempt to prescribe the “right job,” no program can do that well. Instead they lead to information about oneself and career possibilities to enable better-informed and well-considered career decisions. Assistance in searching for colleges, scholarships, and potential employers is also available. The Career Resource Center is open to community members as well as Santa Fe students, faculty and staff. The CRC is located in the Office of Stu-dent Development Programs, Building I, room 40.

Its focus is to generate strong academic skills and motivation in program participants through the following services: supplemental instruction in college prep courses and study skills; college entrance exam preparation; col-lege campus visits; cultural events exposure; academic, career and personal counseling; and the development of leadership and social skills through participation with other TRIO programs. Upward Bound also sponsors a six-week, non-residential summer enrichment program that focuses on students’ class prep for the next academic school year. Students must meet federal eligibility criteria set by the U.S. Department of Education. The program office is located on the Northwest Campus. For more information call (352) 395-7357 or see the Upward Bound portion of SFC’s Web site at www.sfcollege.edu.

College Reach-Out Program (CROP)This program works to strengthen the educational motiva-tion and academic preparation of targeted low income and educationally disadvantaged students in grades 6-12 who desire and may benefit from postsecondary education. CROP identifies students who want to better understand the value of postsecondary education and who are moti-vated to develop better basic learning skills. It counsels students and their parents on the benefits of postsecond-ary education and provides supplemental instruction. Ser-vices include after school programs offering tutoring, basic

skills remediation and study skills instruction, as well as cultural and campus visits. CROP also offers a four-week summer academic enrichment program located on the SFC campus. Rising ninth graders have the opportunity to spend one of those weeks at the University of Florida through a residency program. They live in a UF dormitory and attend classes there. The program office is located on SFC’s Northwest Campus in Building I, room 46B. Call (352) 395-5268 for more information.

Veterans ServicesAll veterans and other eligible persons are encouraged to call or visit the SFC Veterans Affairs office located in Building R, room 110 on the Northwest Campus. Santa Fe College is approved for the education and training of veterans 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 SFC 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 College Veterans Affairs office. The college’s Veterans Affairs office will certify the student veteran for education-al benefits based on receipt of the student’s registration for class attendance each semester. The student veteran or other eligible person must provide a registration slip and degree audit to the SFC Veterans Affairs office each semester the student desires to be certified for educational benefits. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs determines eligibility for educational benefits based on documents provided by the SFC Veterans Affairs office.

The SFC 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 per-sons with information on programs and offerings such as work study, tutorial assistance and solving USVA related eligibility issues.

Standards of Conduct Conduct standards for veterans at SFC 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 Experiences Veterans and other eligible persons have all prior credit/prior military credit evaluated and the equivalency credits recorded in the student’s folder and permanent record. Cumulative permanent academic records are kept on the common 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 College will grant credit for military education. 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 comparable courses and/or the student has not already earned credit for the particular course. After enrollment in the college, the student must initiate the request for such credit by providing the appro-priate documentation to the SFC 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 pro-gram 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 pay-ment 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 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 withdrawal if they have stopped attending a class; however, the tuition for each deferred class must be paid first.

Standards of Progress In compliance with the United States Department of Veter-ans Affairs regarding veterans and other eligible persons’ attendance, progress and certification, the following pro-cedures are to be followed:

I. Attendance The IHL program participant must notify the Santa Fe 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 partici-pant enrolled in a vocational certificate program who accumulates five (5) or more unexcused ab-sences during any calendar month will be inter-rupted for USVA benefits. The USVA will be notified by the college’s VA office to suspend benefits due to lack of attendance. Three unexcused 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 termi-nated 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 encour-aged to seek academic advisement, attend tutorial labs or seek assistance from the college’s Veterans Affairs office to avoid academic suspension of USVA educational benefits.

Reporting of Academic Progress The USVA prohibits payment of educational benefits for auditing a course or for a course not used toward gradua-tion 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 ad-justments 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 in accordance with the department chairs. A student may not register for a course to make up an incomplete grade. The program participant must complete the course requirements within one semester, changing the incomplete to a letter grade.

Mitigating Circumstances Mitigating circumstances are situations that directly hinder a program participant’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 preclud-ing pursuit of a course

3. Discontinuance of a course by Santa Fe College 4. Active duty in military service, including active duty

for training 5. Actions by the program participant such as seeking

tutorial assistance, SFC Veterans Affairs counseling, and/or Santa Fe 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 finan-cial 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 available, 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 of-fice of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs at (888) 442-4551, (888) GI BILL1 or go online to use the WAVE verification program each month. Student veterans should also review annual changes to the GI BILL educational programs at VA.GOV.

Academic Objectives and AttendanceSanta Fe College is responsible for providing its students with a learning-centered environment that includes edu-cationally sound, high-quality programs offered in an eco-nomical and efficient format. The continuation of students who lack the ability, preparation or maturity to succeed is inconsistent with the college’s mission and its responsibil-ity as a tax-supported institution.

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

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 example demonstrates this concept. It should be noted that a student could go from a position of good standing to academic warning, probation or suspension within one term.

Example 1

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

A 4 multiplied by 3 = 12

B 3 “ “ 3 = 9

C 2 “ “ 3 = 6

D 1 “ “ 3 = 3

12 = 30

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

Example 2

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

C 2 multiplied by 4 = 8

D 1 “ “ 3 = 3

F 0 “ “ 4 = 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 stu-dent 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 student in first term: TotalGrade 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 are 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 SFC’s Standards of Academic Progress:

• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on academic warning if they have a grade point deficit of 9 or less.

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

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

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

Academic DismissalStudents returning from suspension will be on probation. If, at the end of the term they return, their grade point deficit is still 20 or more, they will be dismissed from the

college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. The student may then petition the college for possible read-mission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate promise of successful performance.

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

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

Standards of Academic Progress SummaryAcademic Warning 1-9 grade point deficit

Academic Probation 10-19 grade point deficit

Academic Suspension 20 or more grade point deficit

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 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 standing is achieved.

Transferring to Santa Fe With Deficit Grade Points All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe’s Stan-dards of Progress using the same criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer students entering with deficit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, that is, academic warning or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade points have been earned to achieve a C average.

Withdrawals Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Office of Re-cords (Building R, room 101) up until the official with-

drawal date each term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/session is available in the online calendar and via eSantaFe.

A student may have only three attempts per course includ-ing original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. An attempt is defined as an enrollment in a course where any grade is assigned or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be counted as an attempt.

The student will be permitted a maximum of two with-drawals 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 in-struction, which is equal to the non-Florida resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted by the college registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full fees must be requested before the end of drop/add for the term or session in which the course is attempted for the third time. No waivers are granted retroactively.

Transient Status Santa Fe students wishing to attend another postsec-ondary institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe College must obtain permission from SFC before enrolling at the other institution. Students should fill out a tran-sient form, seek advisement about courses they wish to take, and have their status at SFC certified in the Office of Records before enrolling at another institution. Transient forms are available online at www.facts.org.

Student Learning Outcomes StatementsSanta Fe College is committed to improved student learn-ing and development with students becoming participants in a dynamic learning experience. Santa Fe’s student learning outcomes statements identify actionable priori-ties in terms of eight (8) broad learning outcomes associ-ated with observable skill changes in communication, community, digital technology, information management, interpersonal, mathematical, personal, thinking and prob-lem solving. A student’s growth in these cognitive, affec-tive, and ethical capacities is assessed through measuring student learning and achievement based on the following student learning outcomes statements:

• Communication: The student will develop effective reading, writing, speaking, listening, and nonverbal communication skills.

• Community: The student will develop an under-standing of diversity/pluralism in the world com-munity, an awareness of civic and social participa-tion, and ethical, informed decision-making.

• Digital Technology: The student will develop com-puter and Internet skills, and the ability to retrieve, manage, and evaluate digital information.

• Information Management: The student will develop the skills necessary to collect, verify, document, and organize information from a variety of sources.

• Interpersonal: The student will develop effective leadership, teamwork, relationship management, conflict resolution, and workplace skills.

50

w w w . s f c o l l e g e . e d u

• Mathematical: The student will develop the skills necessary to understand and apply mathematical concepts and reasoning and to analyze and inter-pret various types of data.

• Personal: The student will develop an ability to understand and manage self, adapt to change, enhance wellness, and learn effectively, as well as a framework for aesthetic responsiveness.

• Thinking and Problem Solving: The student will develop the skills necessary for analysis, synthesis, evaluation, decision-making, critical and creative thinking, and the creative process.

OmbudsmanStudents having questions about obtaining access to a course or courses which, if not taken, could impede their progress toward a degree, should contact Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs John Cowart, the college’s ombudsman. The ombudsman works to provide an alter-nate communication channel that fosters continual dia-logue in resolving academic and personal issues to bring about positive, productive changes within the classroom. The ombudsman’s office is located in Building R, room 211.

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

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

The learning labs provide pre-CLAST testing and review of all CLAST skills for students 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:ESL (EAP) Lab I-001Mathematics Lab G-014Reading Lab G-036Writing Lab G-005

Degree-seeking students whose college entry placement scores are below the state and institutional college level placement scores shall enroll in the appropriate college preparatory courses prior to enrolling in college level courses. The college preparatory courses are:

ENC0001 College Prep Writing 1

ENC0020 College Prep Writing 2

REA0001 College Prep Reading 1

REA0002 College Prep Reading 2

MAT0002 Prep Pre-Algebra

MAT0020 Integrated Arithmetic & Algebra

MAT0024 Elementary Algebra

Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are re-quired to re-register for the failed course the following semester.

Students who complete REA0002 are required to register for REA2205 the following semester. Students are strongly recommended to enroll in College Composition (ENC1101) immediately after they complete college preparatory reading and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to enroll in MAT1033 after they complete MAT0024 or MAT0020.

Rule 6A-10.0315(14) Florida Administrative Code states that students enrolled in college preparatory courses may be permitted to take courses concurrently in other curriculum areas for which they are qualified. Students who test into college prep in-struction must successfully complete the required college preparatory studies by the time they have accumulated 12 hours of college credit course work or they must maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory course work each semester until the requirements are completed while performing satisfactorily in the degree earning course work.

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

The college prep advisors located in G-041 are available to advise all college prep and ESL (EAP) students.

Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in each college preparatory course. Withdrawal from a college preparatory course after the last day to drop and receive a refund counts as an attempt. Since the state will fund only two college preparatory attempts, students will pay the full tuition cost for the third attempt, which is equivalent to out-of-state tuition. Exemptions may be granted for extenuating circumstances. Petitions may be submitted at the College Prep office, G-021.

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.

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 registration procedures as all college pre-paratory 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. Reg-istration for cooperative education classes is by Coopera-tive 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 job search. The work site may provide experi-ence to the student as a paid job or as volunteer work ex-perience, depending upon the employer’s current staffing needs and financial resources. Once a site is established, the student will work a minimum of 10-20 hours per week and will receive financial compensation (if a paid site has been developed) and one to three semester hours of credit for each co-op work assignment. The student working 10-14 hours per week will receive one semester hour of credit. The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive two semester hours of credit. The student working 20-35 hours per week will receive three semester hours of credit. A total of up to nine hours per year may be earned. Supervisors at the students’ work sites evaluate students’ performance during their cooperative education experience. The coop-erative education coordinator utilizes experiential-type reports and other assignments submitted by the student at the end of each term, combined with the performance evaluation submitted by the site supervisor, to determine an appropriate grade. Cooperative education course hours

designated as occupational (O) are not transferable nor will those hours count toward graduation requirements for the A.A. degree or impact the student’s GPA.

Degree Programs Santa Fe College grants four degrees: Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate of Science (A.S.). Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) de-gree programs in Clinical Laboratory Science and Health Services Administration begin fall 2009.

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

Note: Beginning fall 2009 all incoming A.A. degree seek-ing students will be required to begin progress in meet-ing their mathematics requirement for graduation. This means that students must register for a math course their first semester and continue to do so each subsequent se-mester until they have satisfied the mathematics require-ment for their respective degrees.

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

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

Bachelor of Applied ScienceThe Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is the designated degree for flexible baccalaureate programs that are designed to accommodate the unique demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. BAS programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with Associate of Science degrees or the equivalent. BAS degree programs conform to all articula-tion conventions (including common course prerequisites, common course numbering, and faculty credentialing in accordance with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). BAS degree programs typically include capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies.

Graduation Students who wish to graduate in a given semester are expected to apply for graduation through eSanta Fe before the semester deadline. Graduation deadlines are noted in the SFC calendar in this catalog. Graduating students are invited to attend the graduation ceremonies, which are held in May and December. Students who will be graduat-ing in the summer semester may attend either the spring or fall graduation, but names of summer graduates are printed only in the December commencement program.

Catalog YearCatalog year determines the set of academic requirements that must be fulfilled for graduation. Students gradu-ate under the catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment at Santa Fe provided they maintain continuous enrollment (registration for and completion of at least one course for one full term in an academic year).

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

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 some-times be discontinued and requirements may change as a result of curricular review or actions by accrediting as-sociations and other agencies.

Experiential LearningSanta Fe College recognizes and awards credit by experi-ence in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send requests for experiential

learning credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments request the appro-priate 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. Experien-tial credits based on work experience require a letter from the student’s employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Experien-tial credit is usually granted only for internships. Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institu-tions.

Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS). This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and 23 participating non-public institutions. The ma-jor purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions. Students and administrators can use the online Statewide Course Num-bering System to obtain course descriptions and specific information about course transfer between participating Florida institutions. This information is at the SCNS web-site at http://scns.fldoe.org.

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

The course prefix and each digit in the course number have a meaning in the Statewide Course Numbering Sys-tem. 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 “statewide course profiles.”

Example of course identifier:

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

ENC 1 1 0 1 English Lower Freshman Freshman Freshman No Composition (Freshman) Composition Composition Composition laboratory Level at this Skills Skills I component in Institution this course

General Rule for CourseEquivalencies Equivalent courses at different institutions are identi-fied by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course number and are guaranteed to be transferable be-tween participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions. (Exceptions are listed below.)

For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 55 different postsecondary institutions. Each institution uses “ENC_101” to identify its freshman com-position skills course. The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which students normally take the course at a specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, “ENC” means “English Composition,” the century digit “1” represents “Freshman Composition,” the decade digit “0” represents “Freshman Composition Skills,” and the unit digit “1” represents “Freshman Composition Skills I.”

In the sciences and certain other areas, a “C” or “L” after the course number is known as a lab indicator. The “C” represents a combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in the same place at the same time. The “L” repre-sents 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 participating institution to another is guaranteed in cases where the course to be transferred is equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution. Equivalencies are established by the same prefix and last three digits and comparable faculty credentials at both institutions. For example, ENC 1101 is offered at a community college. The same course is offered at a state university as ENC 2101. A student who has successfully completed ENC 1101 at the community college is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for ENC 2101 at the state university if the student transfers. The student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 again since ENC 1101 is equivalent to ENC 2101.

Transfer credit must be awarded for successfully complet-ed equivalent courses and used by the receiving institu-tion to determine satisfaction of requirements by transfer students on the same basis as credit awarded to the native students. It is the prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed that have not been designated as equivalent.

The Course Prefix The 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 CoursesSection 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states: Any student who transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and that participate in the statewide course numbering

system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institu-tion for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course numbering system faculty committees representing school districts, public postsecondary educational institutions, and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions to be academically equivalent to courses of-fered at the receiving institution, including equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control of the previous institution. The Department of Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution are generated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those required by the accrediting association of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the statewide course numbering sys-tem. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credits awarded to native students.

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

A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.B. For courses at non-regionally accredited institu-

tions, courses offered prior to the established trans-fer date of the course in question.

C. Courses in the _999-_999 series are not automati-cally transferable, and must be evaluated individu-ally. These include such courses as Special Topics, Internships, Practica, Study Abroad, Thesis and Dissertations.

D. College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses.

E. Graduate courses.F. Internships, practica, clinical experiences and study

abroad courses with numbers other than those ranging from _999-_999.

G. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance, Interior Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills courses in Criminal Justice are not guaranteed as transferable.

Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering Sys-tem and appeals regarding course credit transfer deci-sions should be directed to Martha Morton in the Office of Curriculum and Scheduling, Robertson Administra-tion Building, room 15, or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400.

Grades and Reports1. At the end of the term, a final grade for each term is

recorded and preserved. Grades and grade point values include:

Superior Achievement A 4.0 Good Achievement B+ 3.5 B 3.0 Satisfactory Achievement C+ 2.5 C 2.0 Minimum Achievement D+ 1.5 D 1.0 Failure F 0.0 Incomplete (I) Changed to F if not com-

pleted by conclusion of next major term

Audit X Withdrawal W

2. At the end of the term, final grades are available on eSantaFe at the SFC Web site, www.sfcollege.edu.

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 calculating the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not ac-cept a grade of a repeated course, or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Finan-cial 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 attempt-ed. 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 mini-mum grade point average of 3.5.

Honors Program The Honors Program offers the challenges and benefits of an enriched academic experience to highly motivated students with outstanding records. The program provides Honors sections of general education or business programs classes as well as special elective offerings. There are also Honors Option Contracts available for selected courses.

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

• complete at least 15 hours of Honors course work

• maintain an overall 3.5 GPA

Admission RequirementsCurrent students are invited to join the program after meeting the following criteria:

1. a 3.5 academic GPA and a minimum of 12 credit hours in A.A. degree or A.S. degree course work at SFC, and

2. two faculty recommendations and completion of application;

OR3. special approval by the Honors Program coordina-

tor

Incoming students with strong high school records and test scores are also accepted. Dual Enrollment and transfer students interested in Honors courses are encouraged to contact the Honors Department at (352) 381-3646.

Individual StudyIndividual Study credit may satisfy general education requirements for the Associate of Applied Science degree provided that no more than three semester hours of credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts degree, Individual Study credits may not be used to meet the general education requirements although it may be used as elective credit.

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

The Individual Study outline must be typed. The outline must include objectives, texts and/or materials, meet-ing times with the designated instructor, and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student’s

responsibility rather than the instructor’s to prepare the outline. Individual Study forms must be completed and submitted with the typed outline to the appropriate chair-person 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 and Scheduling Office, located in the Robertson Administration Building, room 15, to have the course created. Students will register for Individ-ual Study courses with their copy of the form on or before the last day to add classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual Study credit is awarded and applied to the transcript at the end of the term

Specialized Group Study Specialized Group Study credits may satisfy general education requirements for the Associate of Applied Sci-ence (A.A.S.) degree in the areas of Communications/Hu-manities, Math/Science and Social/Behavioral Sciences, provided that no more than three semester hours of such credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associ-ate of Arts (A.A.) degree and the Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees, however, Specialized Group Study credits may not be used to meet the general education requirements, although they may be used as elective credits.

Military Science

Air Force ROTC The Air Force Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) was established to select and prepare students to serve as officers in the United States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program is divided into two phases: the first two years constitute the General Military Course and the last two the Professional Officer Course. Full-time Santa Fe Col-lege 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 univer-sities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

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

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

Army ROTC Santa Fe College offers the Army Reserve Officer’s Train-ing Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation by taking this course of instruction and are

eligible to compete for two- and three-year scholarships. These scholarships can be used at any four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The scholarships pay all tuition, textbook, laboratory fees and other purely educational expenses.

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

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

Fee Waivers

Sixty Plus Fee Waivers Santa Fe College will waive registration fees (excluding lab fees, materials or access fees) for residents of Alachua and Bradford counties who are 60 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 pro-cessed in cases where the initial registration for the course was prior to that date. No waivers are available for any con-tinuing education courses offered through the Center for Business. For Community Education, registration waivers are available after the pre-registration period ends, and if a class has space available and has covered 125 percent of its operating costs. Some Community Education classes do not offer 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.

State Employee Tuition Fee WaiversIn accordance with Section 1009.265, Florida Statutes, San-ta Fe College will waive tuition and fees (excluding lab fees, or access fees) for state employees to enroll for up to six credit hours of courses per term on a space available basis (defined as the last date of drop/add). Please note that Sec-tion 1009.265(5), F.S. defines state employees as employees of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state government and specifically excludes university employ-ees. Also, proviso language in the General Appropriations Act specifies that state employees must be “full-time” em-ployees. 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 Adminis-tration Building or fax it to 352-381-7020.

Credit by Examination Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articula-tion Coordinating Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams. Public community colleges and universities in Florida are required to award credit for AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES, AICE, and Excelsior College exams as designated. Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit. Institutions may not award credit for scores below those listed by the ACC. SFC students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours of course credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed be-low; however, a maximum of 30 hours may be awarded for the IB diploma. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice. Credit for all ex-ams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed on the chart found at: http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/.

CLEP Transcript Service P.O. Box 6600Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6600(609) 771-7865, (800) 257-9558http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ clep/about.html

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of examinations developed by the Educational Testing Service that allows students to demonstrate competency in certain subjects and earn college credit for those courses without attending classes. The required levels of perfor-mance on the examinations and the specific courses for which credit may be granted are subject to change accord-ing to the decisions of a statewide committee.

The CLEP examination may be taken at SFC, the University of Florida or any center authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board. The student is responsible for having all scores submitted to the SFC 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 gradu-ation 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 examination cred-it. 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 equivalen-cies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice.

Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum. Rather, they are designed to test students’ knowledge of a variety of college level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recom-mended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R, room 101) for further information.

Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE)The AICE program is an international, advanced second-ary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the British system of “A-Levels.” Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guar-anteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R, room 101) for further information.

Excelsior College ExaminationsExcelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Exami-nation Program) are developed by Excelsior College using national committees of faculty consultants and national studies to assess how well the tests measure the perfor-mance of students in actual college courses. Excelsior Col-lege Examinations are approved by the American Council on Education, and Excelsior College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinat-ing Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R, room 101) for further information.

Department Credit by Examination Students wishing to earn course credit by passing a de-partmental examination should consult the department in which the course is taught. Students may not apply for course credit through an SFC Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is available. Students should be aware that SFC Credit Examinations may not be offered for certain courses due to the nature of a particular course’s content.

58

w w w . s f c o l l e g e . e d u

Students may not take an examination for credit in a course if they have attempted the course at SFC (receiv-ing 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 examina-tion. 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 dur-ing the period between official college terms or on official college holidays.

Procedure for SFC Department Credit by Examination

1. Students complete a Credit by Examination applica-tion available in the offices of academic chairper-sons and directors.

2. Completed applications are presented to depart-ment or discipline chair or director. If the applica-tion is approved, the chair or director will explain how the examination will be administered ac-cording to current procedures. Depending on the discipline or program area, either individual exami-nation dates for each student or a common exami-nation date for all students will be set each term.

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

4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier’s window in the Robertson Administration Building for pay-ment of the $15 examination fee.

5. The application is returned by students to the dis-cipline/program area examiner indicated in step 2 above.

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

MissionThe Liberal Arts and Sciences further the college’s mission by

• providing a strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate of Arts degree;

• preparing students with diverse backgrounds and goals for careers, further academic study, and life-long learning;

• creating intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills;

• building an awareness of self, diverse opinions and cultures, and one’s responsibility within the global community;

• promoting the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline areas; and

• providing a personalized, supportive learning en-vironment that challenges students to achieve high levels of academic performance.

Purpose Liberal Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for

students to• attain a broad-based education through courses

in written and oral communication, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, history, humani-ties and creative arts;

• complete programs of study that will lead to the As-sociate of Arts degree;

• complete their general education courses, electives, and prerequisites for the Associate of Science degree and certificate programs;

• pursue university-parallel programs of study lead-ing toward a baccalaureate degree; and

• become lifelong learners.

Philosophy Liberal Arts and Sciences believes all students deserve the opportunity to strive for academic excellence in an environment that both respects and supports diverse learners. The division provides a multidisciplinary breadth of knowledge 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 (A.A.) DegreeThe college offers the Associate of Arts degree to students wishing to transfer to a four-year college upon graduation from Santa Fe College.

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

admission to the upper division of a state university except to a limited access or teacher certification program or a major program requiring an audition. Students earning the Associate of Arts degree and transferring to one of Florida’s public universities will not be required by the university to take additional general education courses.

Although the Associate of Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised early in their academic careers to be aware of the upper division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within the re-quired 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 universi-ties to which they plan to transfer. Students must select a program major by the time they complete 24 college credit hours. With the help of their advisors, students should choose electives that will be most advantageous in the pursuit of their intended bachelor’s degrees. Each upper division university annually publishes counseling manu-als for every major offered at that institution. Each state university has a designated articulation officer to facilitate the transfer of community college graduates to the State University System.

Although there are not degree programs in the Fine Arts at this time, we recommend that those students work-ing on an A.A. degree with a Fine Art program emphasis check with the discipline coordinators of their program for proper academic advisement: Dance, Tari Kendall, 395-5916; Music/Vocal, Lynn Sandefur, 381-3639; Music/Instrumental, Chris Sharp, 395-5313; Theatre, Terry Klenk, 395-5092; Theatre/Technical, Owen Reynolds, 395-5985; Visual Art, Matthew Newell, 395-5810; Visual Art/Sculp-ture, Matt Shaffer, 395-5810.

Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree • Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the gen-

eral 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 with an assigned ID code of P (Parallel). Courses des-ignated O (Occupational) are not guaranteed for acceptance 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 obliga-tions to the college.

• File an application for graduation with the Office of Records.

General EducationGeneral education is the core preparation for lifelong learning. It fosters a disciplined curiosity that leads to exploring the foundations and ranges of knowledge in the arts and sciences. The general education program at Santa Fe College develops the student’s professional, intellectual and social skills, thereby facilitating understanding of, and involvement in, cultural, political and natural environ-ments. General education provides critical competencies students need in today’s society, to succeed in the work-place, and to transfer education.

Specifically, the student will• experience the perspectives of various disciplines

that comprise the arts and sciences and understand their interconnection;

• gain the necessary foundation and depth and breadth of knowledge to become an independent, creative, lifelong learner;

• develop effective writing, speaking, reading, listen-ing 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, po-litical, cultural and scientific bodies of knowledge, their historical development and their continuing influence;

• gain an appreciation for diversity in the world com-munity; and

• understand the importance of civic and social par-ticipation and informed decision making.

The general education requirements at Santa Fe College are met by a minimum of 36 credit hours representing communication and mathematical skills and introduc-tions to, or surveys of, the academic areas of history, humanities, natural 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.

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 com-munication 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 fol-lowing:

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 college-level writing skills through multiple assign-ments. Each institution shall designate the courses that fulfill the writing requirements of this section.

62

w w w . s f c o l l e g e . e d u

These course designations shall be submitted to the Statewide Course Numbering System. An institution to which a student transfers shall accept courses so designated by the sending institution as meeting the writing requirements outlined in this section.

b. Six (6) semester hours of mathematics course work at the level of college algebra or higher. For the pur-poses of this rule, applied logic, statistics and other such computation course work, which may not be placed within a mathematics department, may be used to fulfill three (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 interna-tional baccalaureate instruction pursuant to Rule 6A-10.024, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and students awarded college credit based on their demonstration of mathematics skills at the level of college algebra or higher through one (1) or more of the acceleration mechanisms in Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., shall be considered to have satisfied the re-quirements in subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C., to the extent of the college credit awarded.

3. Exemptions and Waivers. Any public community col-lege 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 Depart-ment, the plan shall be submitted to the State Board of Education or the Board of Governors as appropri-ate. 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.

Specific Authority 1001.02(1) and (2)(n) FS. Law Imple-mented 1001.02 FS. Section 15, Chapter 87-212, Laws of Florida. History – New 1-11-82, Formerly 6A-10.30, Amend-ed 6-8-88, 12-18-2005.

Gordon Rule Writing Courses Santa Fe College has established the following rationale for identifying writing intensive courses that may be used to satisfy the college level writing portion of the Gordon Rule (2a above):

A writing intensive course is a content specific course that has as major instructional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial discipline-based writing compo-nent that consists of teacher-assessed college level writing assignments. College level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills to discuss a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appro-priate diction, conventions, and rhetorical 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 faculty toward refining college level writing skills in a specific discipline.

Biotechnology ProgramsDirector: Dr. Kelly Gridley Program Advisor: Denise RemerFaculty: Dr. K. Gridley, Ms. E. Monck, Dr. R. Guico,

Mr. R. Tinckham

Biotechnology (BTN) – Associate of Science 3621The Biotechnology Laboratory Technology Program at Santa Fe College provides for new career opportunities through enhanced science and technical education. In addition to meeting the need of the emerging regional bio-technology industry for entry-level laboratory technicians, the program provides a sound basis for further education in the sciences by giving students hands-on biotechnol-ogy laboratory experience. The program is sustained by a formal partnership between SFC, the University of Florida, and industries related to biotechnology. The curriculum, faculty and facilities were established with guidance from local employers to meet student needs.

The goal of the Biotechnology Laboratory Technology Pro-gram is to develop competent and professional laboratory technicians proficient in entry-level techniques that have a high degree of adaptability. A further aim is to develop the qualities of leadership and scholarship that will allow qualified graduates to pursue baccalaureate educational opportunities. The program is administered in compli-ance with the curriculum frameworks as governed by the state of Florida Department of Education.

Admission to the program requires a 2.0 overall GPA on college transcripts, and successful completion of two se-mesters of a chemistry sequence, basic mathematics, core biology, and microbiology. Students interested in the A.S. degree in Biotechnology Laboratory Technology should apply after their first academic year, and should complete the program in three semesters. Students may apply to the program for admission during the semester they take BSC1404C, and students who have completed a techni-cal certificate in biotechnology at their high school may qualify for advanced placement.

Upon completion of the core program, students earn an Associate of Science degree from Santa Fe College. Gradu-ates are prepared to seek entry-level employment as labo-ratory technicians competent in preparing solutions and reagents, operating scientific instrumentation, preparing samples for analysis, using recombinant DNA techniques, culturing mammalian cells, purifying and/or character-izing DNA and proteins, and collecting and assessing data. These competencies are fundamental to the development of products from biological systems and basic research. In addition, with proper course selection and additional course work, students can earn an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree and be prepared to apply to various upper divi-sion programs for further education. Students who have previously completed a degree program and have the prerequisite course work in mathematics, chemistry and biology can complete an Advanced Technical Certificate in Biotechnology Manufacturing.

Students interested in the Biotechnology Laboratory Tech-nology Program should complete an application for admis-sion to SFC. This requires that students arrange for official

transcripts from high school, as well as official transcripts from any postsecondary institution attended, to be sent to the Office of Records. Unofficial transcripts may be used for initial advisement purposes only and will not be used for program admission consideration.

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

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

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

Santa Fe College’s Automotive Program is “Master Certi-fied” by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) to meet the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) standards of quality.

Cardiovascular TechnologyDirector: Ms. Reeda FullingtonFaculty: Ms. S. Chapman, Mr. S. DeCubellis,

Mr. E. Hushelpeck, Ms. C. Jordan, Ms. J. WaldronCardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with three of the most serious health problems in the United States today—heart, lung, and vascular diseases.

The Cardiovascular Technology Program is five semesters of classroom, laboratory, and clinical instruction. The final two semesters are spent in clinical specialization rotations in cardiovascular 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 gradu-ates.

The Cardiovascular Technology Program is one of the old-est 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 consis-tent with curriculum frameworks as administered by the Florida Department of Education. Graduates are eligible to take national certification examinations.

The Cardiovascular Technology Program consists of four specialty areas:

Invasive CardiologyWorking in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the technologist helps the physician perform invasive diag-nostic tests to assess the condition of a patient’s cardio-vascular system. Additionally, the technologist helps the physician with interventional techniques such as balloon angioplasty and pacemaker implantation procedures de-signed to help alleviate existing cardiac problems.

Pulmonary Functions TestingThe technologist working in the pulmonary functions testing laboratory uses computer supported equipment in performing diagnostic tests to detect the presence and severity of pulmonary diseases. Tests performed include spirometry, lung volume testing, diffusion studies, arte-rial blood gas analysis, bronchoscopy, polysomnography (sleep studies), and exercise metabolic studies.

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

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

RadiographyRadiographers exercise initiative and independent judg-ment in the performance of X-ray examinations for diag-nosis of disease and injury. They also assist radiologists in fluoroscopic and special vascular procedures. Radiogra-phers are in demand in nearly every community—in hos-pitals, physicians’ offices, clinics, government, education, industry and research.

Radiographers operate X-ray equipment, provide patient care, provide radiation protection, position patients for examination, select technical factors for optimum radio-graphic quality, produce and process radiographs, main-tain quality control and maintain patients’ records. Other duties include use of mobile X-ray equipment in the emer-gency room, operating room and at the patient’s bedside. Radiographers also use other imaging modalities such as 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 who can adapt to changing technology. The Radiography Program also aims to develop leadership qualities necessary for teaching and health care administration.

The program is conducted in cooperation with Shands at AGH, Shands at UF, North Florida Regional Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in Gainesville and Lake City, and several hospital-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 Depart-ment of Education.

Students are admitted in fall term each year and complete 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, ob-taining 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 radiographers qualify to obtain a Certified General Radiographer License from the state of Florida without additional testing.

Respiratory CareProgram Director: Mr. Paul StephanClinical Coordinator: Ms. Leah Carlson

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

The respiratory therapist is a life-support specialist. Dur-ing emergency calls, which often are life or death situa-tions, respiratory therapists are responsible for life support of the patient through airway management, artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage, and additional sophisticated emergency support measures. Respiratory therapists manage mechanical ventilators (machines that can provide all of the breathing for patients who can’t breathe on their own). Respiratory therapists must be proficient in many areas, including the administration of oxygen and therapeutic aerosols, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary function studies, blood gas retrieval and analysis, and physiologic monitoring.

The SFC Respiratory Care Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www.coarc.org). The program prepares its graduates to take virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory Care, and also pro-vides a sound technical and theoretical base from which the student can have the educational advantage of lateral and upward mobility. An advanced standing policy is

Surgical TechnologyProgram Director: Mr. Paul StephanProgram Coordinator: Ms. Diane May

Surgical Technology – Certificate 7338The certified surgical technologist (CST) is a key mem-ber of the surgical team who anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges in an efficient manner during surgery. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST may be involved in holding retrac-tors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the operative site, or cutting suture material. The surgical technologist must perform under pressure in stressful and emergency situations, have a strong sense of responsibility, consider-able 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 maxi-mize patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound, suturing and other technical functions.

Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulatory care centers. There are also jobs in medi-cal sales, product development, and management roles in surgical services and research. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons as “private scrubs” and/or surgical first assistants. They have served in the Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number of them are instructors and directors of surgical technol-ogy programs.

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

Sonography, better known as diagnostic medical sonog-raphy (DMS) at Santa Fe College, is a 12-month certificate program conducted in cooperation with 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 imag-ing science (cardiovascular technology, nuclear medicine technology, and radiography). However, it has expanded to include nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, and persons possessing baccalaureate degrees. This expanded group must complete required prerequisite course work. Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examinations offered by the American Registry of Diag-nostic 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 con-tinue, 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 ad-ditional academic preparation, other career opportunities may become available in areas such as education, manage-ment, research and technical advisement.

The Information Technology Education programs pre-pare students to enter careers in the field of computer and information systems as Internet programmers, network technologists, Web site developers, and graphic designers. All programs are performance based and include extensive hands-on training using state-of-the-art technology.

The Information Technology Education A.S. degree pro-grams offer students practical training in computer skills and applications products commonly used in the commer-cial computer and graphic design environments, in-depth knowledge of current systems technology, experience with current software development techniques, skills in related business activities, and a firm foundation in communica-tions and general education areas.

The lab facilities at Santa Fe College include dedicated computer science instructional labs and an open lab with state-of-the-art networked microcomputer workstations. The college is connected to the Internet, and all students have e-mail accounts for added communications with instructors, administrators and peers.

A college-sponsored organization, the Graphic Design Student Association, is open to all students interested in graphic design. Members participate in many professional development and public service activities throughout the year. The club provides opportunities for students to use their design skills to work on community projects. It also sponsors guest speakers, field trips, and professional net-working. Contact the Graphic Design Technology office in N-309, (352) 395-5579, for information.

The ITE Department has student advisors to provide infor-mation about the programs, courses, program admission and registration. Students interested in Internet Services Technology or Networking should call (352) 395-5839 for an appointment.

Digital Media Technology – Associate of Science 3620The Associate of Science degree program in Digital Media Technology offers instruction in the theory and practice of digital media to prepare graduates for entry-level jobs in this expanding career field.

Students in the Digital Media Technology program choose between a Graphic Design specialization or an Interac-tive Media Design specialization. Both specializations are admitted into the program twice a year. Students also have the option to take the Interactive Media Design group of

courses as a Vocational Certificate degree after completing the Graphic Design track, for a more thorough preparation for today’s evolving job market. Admission is competitive. The Digital Media Technology program requires a separate application beyond initial acceptance to Santa Fe College.

Admission is based on faculty rankings of the departmen-tal applications. Potential students must take the College Placement Test and complete all required prep classes before applying for admission to Digital Media Technol-ogy. Because the Digital Media Technology department offers classes only in the fall and the spring terms (no summer classes) it is recommended that students plan to take their general education courses during the summer terms. For this reason it is not a requirement that students complete their general education requirements before ap-plying for admission to Digital Media Technology. How-ever, we strongly recommend that applicants take classes in the Fine Arts Department before being admitted to Digital Media. Some of these classes may also cover some of their general education requirements (please contact our department for more information about classes we rec-ommend). Once admitted to Digital Media, students take classes full time in a specific, or lockstep, sequence.

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

The students in the Graphic Design Specialization track learn illustration, computer graphics, desktop publish-ing, Web page design, electronic imaging, presentation techniques, photography and design, and magazine and newspaper advertising layout. Students learn about logos, brochures, newsletters, packaging, direct mail design, outdoor advertising, point-of-purchase display, printing methods, and electronic prepress production techniques. Students completing this degree will be prepared for employment in advertising agencies, reproduction firms, Web-related enterprises and publishing firms as graphic designers, illustrators and desktop publishers.

The Interactive Media Design track also teaches the basic skills needed to author, design, organize, and deliver mul-timedia presentations including all forms of media that rely on a sequence of imagery and sound. Students will learn how to create and develop media and applications from concept to production. Such applications include DVD authoring, 2-D and 3-D modeling and animation, computer-based training and audio production. Students will learn to deliver this media content via DVD, CD-ROM, broadcast, digital video and the Internet.

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

These programs prepare in-dividuals to deliver patient care at the scene of an emer-gency, in an ambulance, with fire rescue, in an emergency department, in the military and in many other areas of health care.

The A.S./A.A.S. degree in EMS is also applicable for people who are currently employed in these fields and who want to improve their skills for career development. Students must demonstrate competency in reading, writing, oral communication, and fundamental mathematical and computer skills. The program advisor will provide details when the student enters the degree track.

The emergency medical technician (EMT) is a professional who delivers basic life support care. The EMT certificate is a one-semester college credit program consisting of classroom, lab, hospital emergency department, and am-bulance clinical components. Although this is considered a part-time program, at least 25 hours per week and a flex-ible schedule are required. Upon successful completion of all components of the EMT program, the student may be eligible to take the National Registry and/or the state of Florida EMT Certification Examination.

The Paramedic Program is a college credit certificate pro-gram, which is a minimum of 1100 clock hours in length (one year). The student will learn advanced life support patient care and procedures. The program consists of classroom, lab, hospital clinical and ambulance clinical components. This program, like EMT, requires a strong desire and commitment to the profession. Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, the student may be eligible to take the National Regis-

Paramedic ProgramThe Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit pro-gram that is a minimum of 1100 clock hours in length and takes three full semesters to complete. Current Florida cer-tification as an emergency medical technician is required prior to applying 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 health care team that provides advanced life support to save lives jeopardized by trauma, cardiac events or other illnesses. Paramedics often make critical patient care decisions in situations where seconds and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Paramedics are often called upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, and function under tremendous stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build. Santa Fe College’s Paramedic Program is fully ac-credited by the Joint Review Committee for the Accredita-tion of EMT-Paramedic Programs.

Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students may be eligible to take the state of Florida Paramedic Certification and/or the Na-

tional Registry Examination. Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification, Anatomy and Physiology* course (as either BSC2084/L OR BSC2085/L and 2086/L), and American Heart Association health care provider CPR, or its equivalent.

*Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semester Anatomy/Physiol-ogy sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).

Educator Preparation Institute

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

More educators are needed to offset the state’s projected teacher shortage. Santa Fe’s EPI seeks people who are qualified to teach in high-need subject areas like reading, mathematics and science. The program also seeks minori-ties underrepresented in the teaching profession.

Bachelor of Applied ScienceThe Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is the designated degree for flexible baccalaureate programs that are designed to accommodate the unique demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. BAS programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with Associate of Science degrees or the equivalent. BAS degree programs conform to all articula-tion conventions (including common course prerequisites, common course numbering, and faculty credentialing in accordance with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). BAS degree programs typically include capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies.

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

Program Director: Dr. Kelly Gridley

Program Advisor: Denise Remer

Faculty: Dr. Kelly Gridley

The Clinical Laboratory Science Program at Santa Fe Col-lege is located in the Department of Laboratory Tech-nology at the Charles R. and Nancy V. Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua, Florida, and offers a Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Sci-ence.

Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS, also referred to as Medi-cal Technology) applies basic science to medical diagnos-tics. It is a profession of highly knowledgeable and skilled individuals who perform clinical laboratory tests on blood, body fluids, or tissue samples. This is a critical part of health care, as the results provided by these laboratory professionals are a vital tool for physicians in their diagno-sis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Many clinical laboratory scientists (or medical technolo-gists) work in hospitals, clinics, and medical centers, but positions are also available in industrial settings, public health, reference and research laboratories. These indi-viduals may practice as generalists, typically covering the areas of serology, microbiology, clinical chemistry, hema-tology, and immunohematology, or they may specialize in one scientific area. After experience within the field, there are opportunities for advancement into management or teaching positions. Industry also offers opportunity in the area of sales, public relations, research and development. There are channels for continued academic specialization and advanced degrees which in turn bring further employ-ment opportunities and benefits.

Admission to the BAS in Clinical Laboratory Science pro-gram requires a 2.5 overall GPA on all college coursework; the completion of the CLS program course prerequisites with a minimum grade of C (STA 2023, BSC 2010/L, CHM 2211/L, MCB 2010/L); the completion of an associate’s de-gree (AA, AS or AAS); the completion of all program course prerequisites; and the completion of the College Level Academic Skills Testing exam with passing scores (un-less otherwise appropriately exempted). Applicants must complete an SFC application for admission or readmission, a separate application to the CLS program, and submit a 500 word personal statement essay addressing their profes-sional and personal goals. It is not necessary to complete all of the Common Degree Program Prerequisite Require-ments before admission (these courses are designated with an asterisk.)

This limited access program is work-intensive and courses include clinical practice in a variety of settings. Due to this, it is strongly recommended that students be at least one-year post high school and complete their foreign language requirement prior to applying to the program. An FDLE background check and Board of Clinical Lab Person-nel trainee license are required to complete clinical intern-ship courses. Students with concerns or questions should seek advisement from program advisor Denise Remer at (352) 395-5839 or program faculty at (352) 381-3750.

Applications, forms and procedures, and contact informa-tion can be found online at www.sfcollege.edu in the Index under Clinical Laboratory Science.

Degree RequirementsThe courses designated in sections 1, 2, and 3 below may be transferred from other community colleges, colleges, and universities, and most of the coursework shown in 1 and 2 should usually be completed in the first 60 hours.
