College Philosophy, Mission and Values Statement of Philosophy The philosophy of Santa Fe College is student centered. Consistent with this philosophy, we value cultural diversity and serve all persons regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, marital status, age or disability. The college believes that preparing students for healthy, productive lives in a democratic society is the chief obligation of the public educational system. Therefore, we seek to enable changes in individuals that allow them to live richer, more rewarding, and more useful lives. We further believe that educated people should be guided in their behavior by decency and civility; accordingly, we prize honesty, integrity, and social responsibility among both our staff and students. The college aspires to transmit these values as well as foster in students the critical thinking and problem-solving skills, global perspective, and creativity necessary to make educated and ethical decisions in all aspects of their lives.
Mission In keeping with our values and goals, Santa Fe College, a comprehensive public institution of higher education serving North Central Florida and beyond, adds value to the lives of our students and enriches our community through excellence in teaching and learning, innovative educational programs and student services, and community leadership and service.

Sustainable use of environmental, social, and economic resources
College History Santa Fe College was established by the state government in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education. Since then, SF has established programs and services that enable the college to carry out its mission of educational opportunity, responsiveness to the community, economic development, and innovation in the public interest. The philosophy of the college during those years has been, and continues to be, one of student centeredness. Enrollment has grown rapidly. Fewer than 1,000 students enrolled when classes were first offered in September 1966. Today, approximately 18,000 students take credit classes and 12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are offered at the Northwest Campus, Andrews Center in Starke, Blount Center in downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer, Kirkpatrick Center in east Gainesville, Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua and Watson Center in Keystone Heights. The college has expanded education programs by increasing the number of classes offered by electronic means such as the Internet and live broadcasts to the SF centers. More than 4,000 students take classes through Open Campus, SF's online center. Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe College was authorized by the state of Florida in 2009 to offer bachelor's degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. At that time the college changed its name to Santa Fe College. SF has had only five presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was president from 1965 to 1971, Dr. Alan J. Robertson was president from 1971 to 1990, Dr. Larry W. Tyree was president from 1990 to 2002, Dr. Jackson N. Sasser was president from 2002 to 2020 and was succeeded in 2020 by Dr. Paul Broadie II.
College Academics The college's educational offerings include the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), Bachelor of Science (BS), Vocational Certificate (VC) and Continuing and Community Education programs. The Associate in Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students in this program intend to transfer to four-year colleges or universities. SF sends more students to the University of Florida than does any other institution. Many former SF students go to other four-year schools, public and private, in and out of state. Since 2009, the college has offered bachelor's degrees in several new areas of study. Santa Fe offers Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree programs in Clinical Laboratory Science, Industrial Biotechnology, Health Services Administration, Multimedia and Video Production Technology, and Organizational Management. The Bachelor of Science (BS) programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree. Santa Fe College currently offers the Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting, Early Childhood Education and Nursing. Additional degrees will follow in the future, as specific needs are identified. Career and Technical Education consists generally of AS, AAS and certificate programs that prepare students for successful entry into a career, although some programs are transferable to universities. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of students in these programs either enter a career or proceed to further higher education. Continuing Education programs assist professionals looking to advance or change their careers with recertification, additional training or special course work. Community Education offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth. More than 9,000 area residents participate in Community Education courses each year. Academic life is highlighted by the Honors Program, Phi Theta Kappa, SF-UF Foreign Languages Institute, Research in Undergraduate Education Festival, a Model UN team, a Brain Bowl, a Math Team and several international Study Abroad programs.

Official College Communication Notifications and Communication - eSantaFe and Office 365 Santa Fe College (SF) uses eSantaFe and student email accounts (Office 365) to send official notifications and communications to students. These notifications and communications include, but are not limited to, alerts regarding financial aid, student records, admissions, registration, and academic status. SF students are responsible for accessing student records and regularly checking student notifications using eSantaFe and the official college email account.
12 | P a g e
Students will receive an email reminder, via college email, to check official notifications; however, it is strongly advised that all students regularly and frequently check the eSantaFe student portal. Failure to do so may cause students to miss critical information that could impact their status at the college. All students are asked to log onto eSantaFe to register with the Emergency Notification System (ENS) so that information can be readily shared by the college in the event of a crisis. Students may list up to five different ways to be contacted in case of emergency: two voice numbers, two email addresses and one text number.
Admissions Office of Admissions The Office of Admissions is where staff help students with questions or concerns about getting started, admissions advisement, preliminary academic advisement, and assistance with residency, the difference between types of degree programs, and campus tours. Students may submit high school transcripts, test scores, residency documents at the Office of Admissions. In addition, the Office of Admissions is responsible for campus tours, the PASS college readiness program, New Student Orientation, New Student Convocation, and the Student Ambassador Program. Visit the Office of Admissions' website at www.sfcollege.edu/admissions for the Admissions Application and to access forms and additional information.
Admissions Criteria High school graduation (standard diploma), high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state Board of Education, or HiSET score is required for all applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SF. There are two exceptions:
Non-high school graduates possessing certificates of completion or special diplomas, are eligible to enroll for certain certificate courses only. These students are not eligible for most forms of financial aid. Information about these programs is available at the Office of Admissions.
In the case of a student who is home schooled in Florida, a signed, notarized affidavit submitted by the student's parents or legal guardian attesting that the student has completed a home education program pursuant to the requirements of s. 232.02(4) is required. This affidavit must be accompanied by documentation by the appropriate school board demonstrating that the home school was registered in the county in which the home school was administered. In the case of a home school "umbrella" organization, a final, official transcript must be submitted from the umbrella service in addition to the home school affidavit. Students who were home schooled in a state other than Florida must provide documentation showing the home school program was completed in compliance with their state's rules and regulations.
High School Transcripts
Effective July 1, 2011, the United States Department of Education mandates that institutions must determine if each student's high school diploma is valid and obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education prior to allowing students to receive financial aid.
Final, official high school transcripts, copy of GED, copy of HiSET score, or home school affidavit must be received and processed by the Office of Admissions PRIOR to receiving academic advisement and registering for classes. Exceptions may be made for students who are in specific programs and/or who meet criteria as determined by the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs.
Students who have earned a previous Associate in Arts degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution must submit their final, official high school transcripts before receiving financial aid. Please contact the Office of Admissions for information regarding admission to the college, deadline dates for submission of applications, and all forms necessary for admission to the college: visit the office on the Northwest Campus in Building R, room 101, or call 352-395-7322 or 352- 395-5000; visit our website at www.sfcollege.edu.
Campus Tours Campus tours are offered through the Office at Admissions at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, and at 2 p.m. Monday, Thursday, and Friday, excluding college holidays. Tours may sometimes reach capacity, so please consult the tour calendar, and schedule your campus tour at www.sfcollege.edu/campus-tours. Large group tours, of parties of ten or 13 | P a g e
more, can also be scheduled at https://www.sfcollege.edu/admissions/get-started/campus-visit/index. Campus Virtual tours may be taken at any time by vising https://www.sfcollege.edu/map/.
New Student Orientation Completing New Student Orientation gets students started on the right foot in college. During Orientation, new SF students will learn about college policies and procedures, explore college services and resources, and learn how to register for classes. Students are required to complete online New Student Orientation through eSantaFe prior to registering for classes. New Student Convocation is held shortly after a new student begins classes. The on-campus event focuses on student success, offering critical tips on how to make the most of the college experience.
Assessment and Placement The placement testing requirement is intended to provide the college with an indication of a student's abilities in terms of communication and computation at the college level. For information on admissions qualifications and required testing using the Florida's Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT), please consult our website at www.sfcollege.edu. Students whose placement test scores are below college level may be required to enroll in College Preparatory courses. These courses will earn credits but will not be counted toward meeting the required or elective credits necessary for the Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science or Associate in Arts degree. Students who present scores on the SAT or E-ACT that meet or exceed college level placement scores may be exempted from taking the Florida's Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT), provided the scores are less than two years old. ALL first-time-in-college (freshmen) AA-Degree seeking students who are exempted from taking the PERT based on their ACT or SAT scores will be required to take the College Level Math (CLM) portion of the CPT to determine proper mathematics placement. Students who score below the designated state cut-scores are required to develop college level skills and are encouraged to do so before they enroll in college level courses. Students whose native language is not English may have additional testing requirements.

Degree Programs Associate in Arts (AA) degree programs are for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university upon graduation. This degree is composed of 36 credit hours of General Education and 24 credit hours of electives that are usually comprised of the pre-professional courses required for entrance to a particular upper division major. At least 60 credit hours in courses designated with a P (Parallel) must be successfully completed in order to graduate with an AA degree. AA degrees are general liberal arts degrees intended for college or university transfer and are not major specific. Therefore, a student can only earn one AA degree. Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree programs are designed for entry into employment after completion of the two-year degree. They include 15-18 credit hours of General Education courses and approximately 42 credit hours specific to the degree that is being earned. Technical Certificate programs are designed to meet the occupational needs of the community by preparing students for employment. These programs of instruction do not require 60 credit hours of college level courses. Santa Fe College offers the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree programs which provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with Associate in Science degrees or the equivalent. The Bachelor of Science (BS) is the designated four-year degree for baccalaureate programs comprised of concentrated studies in the sciences, applied sciences, health sciences, or professional disciplines. Bachelor of Science degree programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the Associate in Arts or Associate of Science degree. For information on these and other degrees, please see our website at www.sfcollege.edu.
Non-Degree Academic Programs Non-degree academic programs are authorized by the President for students and cohort groups of students who are not seeking a degree from the college. The President is also authorized to establish eligibility requirements for each nondegree academic program.

Academic Advisement Associate in Arts Degree Advisement For students planning to transfer to one of Florida's state universities, the Associate in Arts (AA) degree is the transferable degree. The AA degree contains the General Education portion (lower division) of the bachelor's (BA) degree. Therefore, a student can only earn one AA degree. The Advisement Center, in R-201, acts as an information and referral center with timely and accurate information for students regarding course planning and Associate in Arts degree graduation requirements. Advisors assist AA students with planning their programs of study for transfer to a four-year university. Students wishing to transfer should also obtain additional academic advisement from the upper division school to which they expect to apply. All students must view their degree audit via eSantaFe each semester and are encouraged to meet with an advisor for proper course selection prior to registration.
Advising Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Friday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Appointments are encouraged. R-201 (NW Campus); 352-395-5503. Extended hours are offered prior to the start of classes in August and January. Students may make an appointment or be seen on a walk-in basis until 4 p.m. each day. Advisors are also available at the Blount, Andrews, Watson, Davis, Perry and Kirkpatrick centers. AA students may elect to participate in one of our SF2University articulation programs: SF2FAMU, SF2UNF, SF2USF or SF2UWF. These agreements provide guaranteed admission to students who have received an AA degree. Students may need to meet additional program requirements for certain programs of study. See an academic advisor or visit our website https://www.sfcollege.edu/admissions/sf2/index for more information.
Career and Technical Education Advisement Students interested in any of the Career and Technical Education programs, which have selective admission requirements, are urged to contact the appropriate program advisor as early as possible. Admission to the college does not guarantee entry into any program that has selective admission requirements.
16 | P a g e
Standard high school graduation, a high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state board of education, or HiSET score is required of all applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SF. For information on admissions, please visit our website at www.sfcollege.edu.
The Office of the Registrar - Student Records Academic Objectives and Attendance Santa Fe College is responsible for providing its students with an engaging, learning-centered environment that includes educationally sound, high-quality programs offered in an economical and efficient format. The continuation of students who lack the ability, preparation, or maturity to succeed is inconsistent with the college's mission and its responsibility as a tax-supported institution. A student's standing at Santa Fe College will be determined by the relationship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in good standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must earn the grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 (C) cumulative grade point average while at Santa Fe.
Math Sequence Policy All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits must register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed credit hours. Students automatically exempted from this policy include HSDE (high school dual enrollment) students, transient students, students registered for one or more EAP courses, and students under warning for SAP or SOAP standards. Other students may request a waiver after discussion with either their academic adviser or the math chair. The adviser or the chair will discuss the overall course plan with the student as well as the student's reason for asking for a waiver from the policy to determine the best course of action.
Academic Standards of Progress To maintain satisfactory academic progress, students must achieve a minimum term grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher each term. Academic Warning. Any student who does not achieve a GPA of 2.0 or higher in a term will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic warning. In cases where a student maintains an all college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above, he or she will remain on academic warning if he or she continues to earn a term GPA of below a 2.0. Once a student has been placed on warning, they will be limited to 12 credit hours until they are placed back into good academic standing. Academic Probation. Any student who fails to achieve an all college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for 2 consecutive terms will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic probation. Once a student has been placed on probation, they will be limited to 9 credit hours until they are placed back into good academic standing except that the student can take 12 credit hours as long as one of the courses is selected from the following list: SLS 1101, SLS 1301, SLS 1601 or SLS 1531. Academic Suspension. Any student on academic probation who earns less than a 2.0 for his or her all college cumulative GPA and less than a 2.0 term GPA will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic suspension for the following term of enrollment (Fall, Spring, or Summer). Readmission may be granted after the suspended term, and after the student meets with a counselor in the Counseling Center. If permitted to return to Santa Fe College, the student will remain in academic probationary status and must achieve a 2.0 GPA or higher for the term immediately following the suspension. Academic Dismissal. Any student who does not achieve a term GPA of 2.0 or higher during the term following academic suspension will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic dismissal from the College for one academic year (Fall, Spring, and Summer). Readmission may be granted after the dismissal period, and after the student has met with a counselor in the Counseling Center. Returning to Good Academic Standing. When a student's all college cumulative GPA is a 2.0 or higher, he or she returns to Good Academic Standing, unless his or her term GPA continues to be below a 2.0 GPA. If the term GPA is 17 | P a g e
above a 2.0 but the all college cumulative GPA remains under, they will remain at their current status until the all college cumulative GPA is above a 2.0. Educational Interventions. The Counseling Center will provide intervention services to academically 'at risk' students who have been placed on warning, probation, suspension and/or dismissal. Students who are on probation, suspension, or dismissal will be required to meet with a counselor and Counseling Center services will be offered to students who are on warning. The student and counselor will work together to create a success plan to promote better academic performance. Additional educational interventions may be assigned as appropriate. Transferring to Santa Fe College from Another Institution of Higher Education. All transfer students' transcripts will be evaluated by the College's standards of progress using the same criteria used for non-transfer students. That is, transfer students entering with less than a 2.0 GPA will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e., academic warning or probation. Earning Credit While Suspended or Dismissed. A student under suspension from another institution may not enroll at Santa Fe College for one semester. A student under suspension from Santa Fe College may not earn credits toward a degree from this institution by taking courses at another institution during the term of suspension. Provision for Review. Any student who feels there were extraordinary circumstances that led to his or her academic status and would like to request an adjustment to the status criteria (waive credit-hour limits, request early return, etc.), may petition in writing the College Registrar who will forward the petition to the appropriate Associate Vice-President within Academic Affairs, for a final, binding decision.

At the end of the term, final grades are available on eSantaFe at the SF website, www.sfcollege.edu. Forgiveness Policy: Courses in which a grade of D or F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts marked with a T on the transcript are not included with calculating the cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with an R are included when calculating the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not accept a grade of a repeated course or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Financial Aid office to ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award. Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X are not included in total grade point averages.
Withdrawals Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) up until the official withdrawal date of each term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/session is available in the online calendar and via eSantaFe. 18 | P a g e
A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. An attempt is defined as an enrollment in a course where any grade is assigned, or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be counted as an attempt. The student will be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon the third attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw and will receive a grade for that course. Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on a third attempt, a student must pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal to the non-Florida resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted by the college registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full cost of tuition must be requested to the Office of the Registrar no later than one business day prior to the start of the term for which approval is sought. No waivers are granted retroactively.
Official Withdrawal A student may officially withdraw from one or more classes or from the college prior to the late withdrawal deadline. For information on this process, please visit www.sfcollege.edu.
Petitions for Refunds or Withdrawals The College Petitions Committee reviews and makes decisions on student petitions to adjust records. The committee is composed of SF faculty and staff. Students may petition through the committee to drop a course with refund or to withdraw from a course after the published withdrawal date.
Refunds A student who drops one or more classes during the first five instructional days of fall, spring, or summer full terms, or during the first three instructional days of A or B sessions, may receive a full refund of tuition and fees paid for the dropped course work. The deadlines for fee refunds are on the last official day to drop and receive a refund and the dates are, posted on the official college calendar. These refunds are automatically processed without action by students. Refunds are disbursed through BankMobile to the student on behalf of the college. Allow two to four weeks after the deadline to receive your refund. Students who wish to withdraw from the college or who seek refunds of fees paid may do so via eSantaFe or at the SF Records Office, Building R, Room 112. Santa Fe College's Board Rule 7.11 and Procedure 7.11P define the policy on student fees and refunds. All refunds subject to applicable published deadlines.
Refund and Adjustment of Fees Students who wish to withdraw from the college or who seek refunds of fees paid may do so via eSantaFe or at the SF Records Office, Building R, Room 112. Santa Fe College's Board Rule 7.11 and Procedure 7.11P define the policy on student fees and refunds.
Refund/Repayment Policy As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1998, a student who completely withdraws may be required to repay a percentage of Title IV Federal Financial Aid funds received. For specific information about the refund/repayment policy, please visit the Financial Aid website at www.sfcollege.edu or call a financial aid specialist at 352-395-5480.

Individual Study Individual Study credit may satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science degree, at the discretion of the department and provided that no more than three semester hours of credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate in Arts degree, Individual Study may not be used to meet the General Education requirements although it may be used as elective credit. No more than three semester hours of credit can be applied to any one Individual Study request. An Individual Study may not duplicate any preexisting course in the college curriculum. Forms are available in the offices of the academic chairpersons and academic directors. The Individual Study outline must be typed. The outline must include objectives, texts and/or materials, meeting times with the designated instructor, and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student's responsibility, rather than the instructor's, to prepare the outline. Individual Study forms must be completed and submitted with the typed outline to the appropriate chairperson or academic director by the first day of the term in which credit is to be awarded. Students must then submit the form to the Office of Curriculum and Scheduling, located in the Robertson Administration Building, room 15, to have the course created. Students will register for Individual Study courses with their copy of the form on or before the last day to add classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual Study credit is awarded and applied to the transcript at the end of the term.
Specialized Group Study Specialized Group Study credits may satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in the areas of Communications/Humanities, Math/Science and Social/Behavioral Sciences, at the discretion of the department provided that no more than three semester hours of such credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate in Arts (AA) degree and the Associate in Science (AS) degrees, however, Specialized Group Study credits may not be used to meet the General Education requirements, although they may be used as elective credits.
Transient Enrollment Santa Fe students wishing to attend another post-secondary institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe College must obtain permission from SF before enrolling at the other institution. Students should fill out a transient form, seek advisement about courses they wish to take, and have their status at SF certified in the Office of the Registrar before enrolling at another institution. Transient forms are available online at www.floridashines.org.
Military Science Air Force ROTC The Air Force Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) was established to select and prepare students to serve as officers in the United States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program is divided into two phases. The first two years constitute the General Military Course and the last two the Professional Officer Course. Full-time Santa Fe College students are eligible to enroll in the General Military Course taught at the University of Florida. Transferring at a later
20 | P a g e
date to one of the more than 140 colleges and universities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. The General Military Course examines the role of U.S. military forces in the contemporary world with particular attention to the United States Air Force, its organization and mission. The functions of strategic offensive and defensive forces, general purpose and aerospace support forces are covered. The development of air power over the last 200 years is examined by tracing the various concepts of employment of air power, and by focusing on factors which prompted research and technological change. A variety of events and elements in the history of air power are stressed, especially where these provide significant examples of the impact of air power on strategic thought. To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-3921355.
Army ROTC Santa Fe College offers the Army Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation by taking this course of instruction and are eligible to compete for two- and three-year scholarships. These scholarships can be used at any four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The scholarships pay all tuition, textbook, laboratory fees and other purely educational expenses. Students who successfully complete two years of college and the basic course will be given a certificate of training allowing them, upon transfer, to enroll in the Army ROTC Advanced Course. This leads to a reserve or regular commission as a second lieutenant in the Active Army, Army Reserve or National Guard. Students who do not transfer to an upper division college and who desire to enlist in the Army may be able to do so at a higher pay level. To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Army ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-392-1395.
Graduation Santa Fe College has an Auto-Graduation process. Students will be notified via the college's official notification system of their potential eligibility to graduate and prompted to review and edit their application that will be automatically created. Students will have the ability to review and edit the graduation application continuously until the end of the eligible term. All graduations are final. Students will also have the ability to "Opt Out" of graduation if desired. Students who will be graduating in the summer semester may attend either the spring or fall graduation. Summer applicants who apply by the spring program deadline are included in the spring program. Otherwise, summer graduate names are listed in the fall program. Reverse Transfer Information: The College participates in reverse transfer services which facilitates the exchange of transcript information between educational institutions for the purposes of awarding degrees to students who transfer before graduating.
Catalog Year Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements that must be fulfilled for graduation. Students graduate under the catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment at Santa Fe 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. Students will not be permitted to go back and graduate from a previous catalog year. AA degree students should consult with an academic advisor. The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the curriculum requirements appropriate to each student's catalog year. However, courses and programs will sometimes be discontinued, and requirements may change as a result of curricular review or actions by accrediting associations and other agencies.
Industry Certification Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by industry certification or licensure in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send a request for articulated credit through Industry Certification to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the completed Application for Articulated Credit through 21 | P a g e
Industry Certification form. The academic departments request verification from the registrar to assure that another institution has not already credited the student for articulated credit. Criteria for granting the articulated credit are determined within each department. Articulated Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps articulated credit forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions. Application forms for industry certification articulated credit are available from the Academic Advisor for each Career and Technical Program area or upon request at 352.395.3646.
Experiential Learning Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit for previous experience or training in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to submit requests for such credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments verify with the Office of the Registrar that another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined within each department. Experiential credits based on work experience may require a letter from the student's employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions. Applications forms for experiential learning are available from the program office in which credit is being requested.
Fee Waivers 60 Plus Fee Waivers Santa Fe College will waive registration fees (excluding lab fees, materials, technology, or access fees) for individuals who are 60 years of age or older for all credit courses on a space available basis. "Space available" is defined as the last day of add for the term/session. Waivers will not be processed in cases where the initial registration for the course was prior to that date. Registration using this waiver is limited to "audit" only registrations; classes may not be taken for grade or academic credit. Students must be Florida residents for tuition purposes. No waivers are available for any continuing education courses offered through the Center for Business. For Community Education, registration waivers are available after the pre-registration period ends, and if a class has space available and has covered 125 percent of its operating costs. Some Community Education classes do not offer 60 Plus waivers. Verification of age by driver's license, birth certificate or voter's registration card must be provided when applying for the waiver.
Classroom Teacher Waivers Full-time classroom teachers employed by a Florida school district, as defined in Florida Statute 1001.02(2)(a), are eligible for a Classroom Teacher Waiver. Courses are limited to undergraduate courses related to special education, mathematics, or science, as approved by the Florida Department of Education.

Box 6600 Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6600 609-771-7865, 800-257-9558 www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of examinations developed by the Educational Testing Service that allows students to demonstrate competency in certain subjects and earn college credit for those courses without attending classes. The required levels of performance on the examinations and the specific courses for which credit may be granted are subject to change according to the decisions of a statewide committee. The CLEP examination may be taken at SF, the University of Florida or any center authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board. The student is responsible for having all scores submitted to the SF Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112). The results are evaluated and recorded on the student's transcript if credit is earned. Transfer students must have all transcripts on file from their previous institutions prior to having CLEP credit awarded. There is no charge for posting credits. Semester hours toward graduation are recorded as "credit by examination" with no grades or quality points given. These credits do not affect a student's grade point average. Credit for the general and subject examinations may be earned in those areas where students have not already earned academic credit. Credit for the examinations may be earned, provided the student has not already earned credit for the particular course(s) for which Santa Fe could give examination credit. Credit is not awarded for a basic course in areas where advanced course credit has been earned. No examination may be repeated in an attempt to receive credit. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice. Credit for all exams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed on the chart found at www.fldoe.org/articulation/. For more information, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 352-395-5451.
Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum. Rather, they are designed to test students' knowledge of a variety of college level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.
Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE) The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the British system of "A-Levels." Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.
Excelsior College Examinations Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Examination Program) are developed by Excelsior College, using national committees of faculty consultants and national studies to assess how well the tests measure the performance of students in actual college courses. Excelsior College Examinations are approved by the American Council on Education, and Excelsior College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.
Department Credit by Examination Students wishing to earn course credit by passing a departmental examination should consult the department in which the course is taught. Students may not apply for course credit through an SF Credit Examination if a CLEP examination
24 | P a g e
is available. Students should be aware that SF Credit Examinations may not be offered for certain courses due to the nature of a particular course's content. Students may not take an examination for credit in a course if they have attempted the course at SF (receiving either an A, B, C, D, F, I or W for work attempted) or if they have earned credit for an advanced course in that area. Decisions about the relevancy of particular advanced courses will be made by instructors giving the examination. Credit by examination will not be counted in student course loads but will be averaged into student grade point averages. Credit by examination will not be available during the period between official college terms or on official college holidays.
Procedure for SF Department Credit by Examination 1. 2.
3. 4. 5. 6.

8.
Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the offices of academic chairpersons and directors. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chair or director. If the application is approved, the chair or director will explain how the examination will be administered according to current procedures. Depending on the discipline or program area, either individual examination dates for each student or a common examination date for all students will be set each term. Requests are presented to the appropriate chair or director for approval (signature). Approved forms are taken to the cashier's window in the Robertson Administration Building for payment of the $30 examination fee. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area examiner indicated in step two above. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner will forward the results (application) to the appropriate office and will also telephone that office to verify the test grade. The completed examination will be placed in the division's Credit by Examination file for the discipline or program area. Students must then return to the office where the application was made, pick up a copy of the signed form and take it to the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for final recording. Students must allow one week after completion of the examination before picking up the copy from the appropriate office. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time after the lapse of one full academic term beyond the term in which the first attempt was made. Students may not attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in the same course.
Career Pathways College Credit Career Pathways College credit is a mechanism of accelerated credit that may be implemented during the high school years. Students who have earned sufficiently high grades in Career and Technical Education or career academy classes while in high school, and who have passed an exam formulated and administered by Santa Fe College, will receive credit on a permanent college transcript. For more information, please contact the Career Pathways Office at -352-3955885.
Excess Credit Hour Surcharge All students whose educational plan may include earning a baccalaureate degree should make every effort to enroll in and successfully complete those courses that are required for their intended major on their first attempt. Florida college students intending to transfer to a state university should identify a major or "transfer program" early and be advised of admission requirements for that program, including the approved common prerequisites. Course withdrawals and/or repeats, as well as enrollment in courses nonessential to the intended major, may contribute to a potential excess hour’s surcharge. Students who may exceed the required credit hours upon transferring to a university should see their academic advisor to plan accordingly. Section 1009.286, Florida Statutes, establishes an "excess hour" surcharge for a student seeking a baccalaureate degree at a state university. It is critical that students, including those entering Florida colleges, are aware of the potential for additional course fees. "Excess hours" are defined as hours that go beyond 120% of the hours required for a baccalaureate degree program. For example, if the length of the program is 120 credit hours, the student may be subject to an excess hour surcharge for any credits attempted beyond 144 credit hours (120% x 120). The table below outlines how the Excess Credit Hour Surcharge is calculated.
25 | P a g e
If the student:
...Then excess credit hour ...And the charge applies to excess any credits taken surcharge is: above:
For Example:
Began college as an 120% of the undergraduate between required credit fall 2009 and summer hours 2011
An additional 50% of the current tuition rate
For a degree program that requires 120 semester hours, the excess credit-hour surcharge would apply to any credits taken above 144 semester hours (120% of 120). The student's total charge would be calculated by adding current tuition and fees plus an additional 50% of the current tuition.
Began college as an 115% of the undergraduate between required credit fall 2011 and summer hours 2012
An additional 100% of the current tuition rate
For a degree program that requires 120 semester hours, the excess credit-hour surcharge would apply to any credits taken above 138 semester hours (115% of 120). The student's total charge would be calculated by adding current tuition and fees plus an additional 100% of the current tuition.
Began college as an undergraduate in fall 2012 or after
An additional 100% of the current tuition rate
For a degree program that requires 120 semester hours, the excess credit-hour surcharge would apply to any credits taken above 132 semester hours (110% of 120). The student's total charge would be calculated by adding current tuition and fees plus an additional 100% of the current tuition.
110% of the required credit hours
Most college credit hours will count towards the calculation of excess credit hours. This includes failed courses, courses dropped after the end of the advertised drop and add period, withdrawals, repeats, and transfer credits earned at another institution. Note, however, the following credits will not count toward the calculation of excess credit hours: credits earned through an articulated accelerated programs (i.e. dual enrollment, AP, IB, AICE); withdrawals due to medical or personal hardship; credit hours required for certification, recertification or certificate programs; credit hours taken by active-duty military personnel; credit hours required to achieve a dual degree or double major taken while pursuing a baccalaureate degree; developmental courses and English as a second language credit hours; credit hours earned through internships; and credit hours earned in military science courses that are part of the ROTC program.
Family and Student Educational Rights (FERPA) In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Florida Statutes (Privacy Rights of Parents and Students), the college has identified as "Directory Information" a student's name, local address, telephone number, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. This information may be released without student's consent. Other personally identifiable and student record information can be released only when a written authorization, signed by the student, and witnessed by a college official or notary, is presented to the college. Any student who does not want directory information released must file a directory information exclusion request with the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112). Parents or guardians desiring access to the educational records of a student who is their dependent should ask the student to grant permission in writing or via eSantaFe to the college, via the Student Authorization for Access to Educational Records form. Without written permission from the student, the parents or guardians must certify in writing to the Office of the Registrar that the student is economically dependent upon them as defined by Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and must document this dependency by providing an IRS Tax Transcript of the previous year's income tax return. 26 | P a g e

Financial Aid Financial aid is money provided to help you pay the cost of attending college. Different types of financial aid include grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans. Funding can also come from other sources such as private scholarships offered by outside organizations. Be sure to review the requirements for each type of financial aid so you can apply for different types and maintain your eligibility. More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa/ways-to-pay/index#FinancialAid.
Who Should Apply? All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid, to determine eligibility. You can apply by completing the Free Application for Student Financial Aid at www.studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa. While some aid programs have additional requirements, all federal and state programs require the following:
You must be accepted as degree-seeking in an AA degree or AS career program, or certificate-seeking in a financial aid eligible vocational training program. Students who are "Pending" in a program are not yet fully accepted.
You must be a U.S. Citizen, U.S. national or eligible non-citizen. You must not be in default on a prior student loan. 28 | P a g e
You must be registered for Selective Service, if required. You must have a valid high school diploma or equivalent, such as a GED certificate.
You must be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements, after all previous college coursework is evaluated. Visit our Satisfactory Academic Progress page for more information. More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa/apply/fafsa.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid federal regulations (34 CFR 668.34) require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid. Specific requirements of academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than college Standards of Academic Progress (SOAP) statuses of Academic Warning, Probation and Suspension. Federal regulations state that financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether aid was received. The student must meet all the minimum standards to receive financial aid. Students must meet the following criteria:
Complete 67% of all credits attempted. Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Complete their program of study within 150% timeframe of their degree or eligible certificate program. For example, if a program is 60 credit hours then the student must complete all required coursework within 90 hours.
The initial evaluation at SF will be based on all previous institutions attended once the official transcripts are received, evaluated, and posted to the student's record. Transfer students must have a 2.0 all college cumulative GPA and complete 67% of attempted credits accepted towards their program of study. Note: Dropped, repeated, withdrawn, unsatisfactory, failed, and liquidated coursework are considered attempted but not successfully completed for the purposes of financial aid. Students who do not meet these criteria may have a term of Warning where financial aid is received, if otherwise eligible. Otherwise, students may appeal their circumstances to receive financial aid or will be Suspended. More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa/process/sap.
Return of Title IV/Unofficial Withdrawal (Stopping/Dropping Out): Federal regulations require a student to complete the term for which they were funded. If you have officially or unofficially withdrawn from all of your classes, stopped attending all your classes, or did not successfully complete any of your classes (received all F's), the College is required to calculate how much of the semester you did attend to determine how much of the aid you have "earned." You will be required to pay back the portion of financial aid you did not earn. This is called Return of Title IV, or R2T4. When the Financial Aid Office calculates the Return to Title IV calculation, we must use the last date of enrollment and/or your last date of academic activity, as reported by your instructors, to determine how much aid you have earned. This date determines how much, if anything, you must repay if you do not successfully complete any of your courses. You may not be required to repay your financial aid under these rules if you only drop one or two courses and remain enrolled in at least one financial aid funded course. It is only required when a student is no longer enrolled in or does not pass all courses for a term (A and B terms included). More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa/process/R2T4.
Steps to Financial Aid Please follow the seven steps below to make sure your financial aid is awarded without delay: 1. Complete the FAFSA: You must apply for financial aid each academic year and can apply as early as October 1st. To apply, file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.)
When filing your FAFSA application, keep the following in mind: If you need assistance filing the FAFSA, visit the computer lab in R-226 on the NW campus.

The Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) Starting 2015, the FSA ID replaced the FSA PIN as the login process for federal student websites. Existing users will be able to link their PIN information to the FSA ID. Your federal FSA ID/ PIN allows you to:
Access your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Review your grant and loan history at www.studentaid.gov.
Sign your FAFSA electronically or obtain a copy of your FAFSA information. Complete your Federal Direct Student Loan Electronic Master Promissory Note, Entrance Counseling and Annual Student Loan Acknowledgement as applicable at www.studentaid.gov. If you are a dependent student and one of your parents has a PIN, they can sign the application using it.
30 | P a g e
Verification Verification is the process required by the U.S. Department of Education to check the accuracy of the information submitted on the FAFSA. Verification may occur at any time during the application or awarding process. In most cases, applicants are selected for verification by the Department of Education. If selected SF will notify you via My Fa Status in eSantaFe. Students (and parents for dependent students) will be asked to provide additional information and documents. Verification must be completed before any funds are disbursed (paid). Verification must also be completed if information is discovered after funds have been disbursed. According to federal law the student may have to repay funds if completion of verification results in a change in aid eligibility (an over-award). More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa/process/verification.
Your Financial Aid Status Online Review My FA Status in eSantaFe to view the status of your file or awards received, including the amount and disbursement dates of your financial aid awards. Notifications are the official way that the college communicates with students. They provide details about your eSantaFe status and should be reviewed regularly.
Federal Direct Student Loans If you are awarded a Federal Direct Student Loan, you must complete Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN). You must also be enrolled in (and maintain enrollment in) at least 6 credit hours in the semester that you want to get federal loans, or the loans may be cancelled/removed from your account.
Transfer Students If you plan to transfer to SF during the year you should:
Have all official final transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions at SF (required).
Add the SF Federal School code 001519 to the FAFSA.
Have at least a 2.0 GPA, 67% completion rate, and not exceed 150% of allowable program credits after all official transfer course work has been evaluated. *
Tell your current school about your transfer plans and request that they cancel your aid at that school. *All accepted transfer credits as well as attempted course work at SF will be included as attempted credit hours.
Critical Enrollment Information Maximum eligibility for funding is based on a full-time enrollment status. However, part-time students are often eligible for financial aid. Financial aid must be calculated by determining a student's enrollment status based only on course work applicable to the student's program of study at Santa Fe College. Enrollment status categories for funding are as follows:
Full-time status is 12 credit hours or more. Three-quarter time status is 9 to 11 credit hours. Half-time status is 6 to 8 credit hours.
Less than half-time status is 1 to 5 credit hours. Students who plan to register for less than half-time enrollment status (less than 6 credit hours) should pay close attention to the eligibility requirements for each financial aid program. If you are uncertain about how many credit hours you can successfully complete work with your Academic Advisor.
Standard Term and Mini-term Enrollment A standard term is 16 weeks long. For example, the standard fall term runs from August to December. The mini-term session occurs within the standard term at an accelerated pace. For example, the fall A mini term runs from August to the middle of October, approximately eight weeks. Your fall financial aid will be based on your projected enrollment in ALL sessions as of the end of the "Last day to DROP with NO record and receive a refund" date or the latest of the following dates:
The date the federal government processes your financial aid application The date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF The date after your program change is finalized 31 | P a g e
This is referred to as your "Pell Recalculation" date for determining a portion of your financial aid for the standard term, A mini-term, or B mini-term. This same financial aid awarding process will also apply to the spring and summer terms. Please see the Critical Dates page for the "Last day to DROP with NO record and receive a refund" dates at https://www.sfcollege.edu/registrar/calendars/index. The Pell Recalculation date for students who attend only the B mini-term will be the end of the regular "Last day to DROP with NO record and receive a refund" date for the B mini-term or the latest of the following dates:
The date the federal government processes your financial aid application
The date the federal government processes your financial aid application
The date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF If your application is processed by the federal government after the Pell Recalculation date for the standard fall term, then your registration will be "calculated" at the latest of the following dates: The date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF Please plan accordingly in scheduling your courses for future terms, and for any mini terms within the terms. Submitting a program change after the "Drop with a Refund" date may delay payment of your financial aid and is not recommended. Program changes requested and activated before disbursement for the term may result in a recalculation of your awards. Aid may be increase or decrease because of program changes.
Disclaimer The information provided here is a summary of financial aid information. You are responsible for reviewing and following all policies and procedures outlined in the SF Financial Aid Handbook.
Refunds and Financial Aid Disbursements Santa Fe College has partnered with BankMobile to provide students with direct deposit of financial aid disbursements and refunds from SF. With BankMobile students select their disbursement preference. Disbursements may be directly deposited into the student's personal bank account, or students may opt to open a BankMobile Account. A check will be mailed via US mail (after 11 days) if no deposit selection is made. If you have questions about a financial obligation, please contact the Cashier's Office located in the Alan J. Robertson Administration Building, room 52. Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Deferred Fees A fee deferment is a charge of fees with the promise to pay at the established deadline. It does not automatically pay your fees; it only delays the payment. Even if your schedule shows a $0.00 balance due that includes the deferment, the fee deferment is based on your estimated available funding and is only a temporary credit until SF receives funds on your behalf. A deferment does not relieve you of the obligation to pay. If for any reason you do not receive your estimated funding (from financial aid, the VA or any other source), you are responsible for the tuition and fees for any classes you are enrolled in after the drop with a refund deadline. You will need to "officially" drop your classes before the deadline to not be responsible for tuition and fees. You will be notified in writing that you have a fee deferment. If the total deferred fees are not paid by the deadline, you will be flagged for a financial obligation to the college with a hold on all records and will be turned over to collections. Veterans and other persons who are eligible for fee deferments must have the deferment processed at the cashier's window in the Robertson Administration Building by the due date. Tuition for financial aid recipients may be deferred if fees are less than or equal to the amount of projected financial aid for the term. Additional information may be found in the Financial Aid Handbook.
Student Financial Obligations You are responsible for your financial obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, if you are delinquent in satisfying any obligations, you will not be permitted to graduate, register, receive a transcript for completed course work or benefit from other regular college services. Any student who has paid for course registration fees with a check or e-payment that is dishonored for any reason must make immediate restitution to the college. All returned payments are subject to a returned item fee. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitution is unlikely, the student's registration will be canceled. 32 | P a g e
Audit Fees Any student in the college may elect to audit a college credit course at the time of registration. You may not switch from credit to audit or from audit to credit after the drop/add period. No credit is granted when the course is completed, nor can any be given at a future date. Audit students pay the same tuition fees, application fees, laboratory fees and special fees as credit students.
Additional College Credit Course Fee An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in a college credit course more than two times. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to 100% of the full cost of instruction.
College Preparatory Course Fee An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in certain College Preparatory courses more than two times. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to 100% of the full cost of instruction.
Credit Card Payment (MasterCard, VISA, Discover or American Express) Students may pay fees online. Visit www.sfcollege.edu and click on eSantaFe. Select Finances, then View and Pay Fees and follow the menu options.
Online Payment Students may pay fees online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express), checking account, or savings account. Visit www.sfcollege.edu and click on eSantaFe. Select Finances, then View and Pay Fees and follow the menu options.
Deferred Fees Veterans and other eligible persons who request fee deferments must have the deferment processed at the cashier's window in the Robertson Administration Building by the due date. Tuition for financial aid recipients may be deferred or charged if fees are less than or equal to the amount of projected financial aid for the term. Additional information may be found in the Financial Aid Handbook.
Fee Waivers State of Florida employees, senior citizens, or classroom teachers must register on the last day of drop/add for any term/session if they wish to use a fee waiver for that term/session. Any registrations prior to this date will not be eligible for a fee waiver.
Social Security Students should direct inquiries related to Social Security benefits to their local Social Security office. SF's Office of the Registrar will certify student enrollment for the Social Security Administration. Educational benefits are awarded through the Social Security office.
International Student Services International Education Office The International Education office (IE) is available to assist students in gaining international experience.

Students who are currently enrolled in classes, have paid tuition in full, and have provided a valid government-issued photo ID to college authorities have the right to an SF Student Identification Card. The cards are property of the college and should be presented or surrendered to college staff upon request. The purposes for the cards are to ensure proper identification for access to college facilities, resources, events, and activities. Students are responsible for returning SF ID cards to the college upon termination of the holder's relationship with the college. Student Organizations. Students have the right to participate in Student Organizations. Student organizations provide opportunities for involvement, leadership, and service on campus and in the community. There are over 60 active student organizations for students. Visit https://sfcollege.collegiatelink.net/ to learn more and join. Transfer Credit. Students have the right to transfer college credits from other institutions upon review and approval. Transcripts submitted to the Office of Admissions will be reviewed by the Office of the Registrar for transfer equivalency results. Received transcripts are evaluated and each student is given a record of all transferred courses, a description of which transferred courses match those at SF and are valid substitutions, and a summary of graduation requirements. Transfer Policies. Students have the right to transfer credits from accelerated mechanisms to state universities. Credits earned through acceleration mechanisms (e.g. College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate, and Dual Enrollment courses) within the AA degree at the College will be transferable to the state university. Students have the right to automatically transfer courses that are designated by the Statewide Course Numbering System. When transferring among institutions participating in the Statewide Course Numbering System, a receiving institution must accept all courses taken at the transfer institution if the same course with the same course number is offered at the receiving institution. Students have the right to transfer a completed general education core. Once a student has completed the General Education Core and this is so noted on the transcript, regardless of whether or not an AA degree is awarded, no other state university or community college to which the student may transfer can require additional courses to the general education core. Translating Documents. Students are responsible for having all documents that are not originally provided in the English language by the issuing institution translated to the English language. Official high school transcripts must be sent to a foreign credential education evaluation service that is a current member of the National Association of 50 | P a g e
Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). The college will not accept documents that have not been professionally translated. Tuition Payment Plan. Students have the right to use the Tuition Payment Plan to pay college tuition and fees. The Tuition Payment Plan breaks down the tuition balance into smaller monthly payments. While there is no interest charged with the Tuition Payment Plan, students who use this option are responsible for paying all fees, including setup fees. To use the Tuition Payment, students may click on View and Pay Fees in eSantaFe. Tutoring. Students have the right to seek tutoring services for academic support. SF provides free on-line and inperson tutoring for all currently enrolled students. On-line tutoring is provided 24/7 through Smart Thinking. Students may use Smart Thinking to schedule a one-on-one virtual tutoring session for various topics or to submit writing for review by a tutor. To access on-line tutoring, log in to eSantaFe, click StudyTools on the navigation bar, and select Online Tutoring. In-person help is also available for various topics at the Northwest Campus and the Centers. Check www.sfcollege.edu/tutoring for the most updated in-person tutoring locations. Withdrawal. Students have the right to officially withdraw from one course or from the College prior to the late withdrawal deadline. Students are responsible for completing a Santa Fe College withdrawal form to avoid receiving a failing grade for a course that is no longer being attended. Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe or in the Office of the Registrar up until the official withdrawal date each term/session. The deadline to withdraw from classes is published in every SF class schedule and is located on the registration dates webpage. A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1965, (as amended), a student who completely withdraws may be required to repay a percentage of Title IV Federal Financial Aid funds received. College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full for course work dropped during the drop/add period or canceled by the college. However, the federal refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiving financial aid and completely withdrawing from the college. Students have the right to petition to adjust records regarding late withdrawal. The college petitions committee shall meet weekly and have responsibility for reviewing and making decisions on student petitions. A petition form may be secured from the Office of the Registrar or online, and must be submitted, with all appropriate documentation, at least five business days prior to the committee's scheduled weekly meeting.

Florida's Statewide Course Numbering System (Section 1007.24, Florida Statutes) Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida's Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS). This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by participating nonpublic institutions. The major purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions. Students and administrators can use the online SCNS to obtain course descriptions and specific information about course transfer between participating Florida institutions. This information is at the SCNS website at http://scns.fldoe.org. Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of the course number to indicate the level at which students normally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits of the course numbers are assigned by members of faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the Florida Department of Education in Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve on these committees are selected to maintain a representative balance as to type of institution and discipline field or specialization. The course prefix and each digit in the course number have a meaning in the SCNS. The listing of prefixes and associated courses is referred to as the "SCNS taxonomy." Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as "statewide course profiles."

General Rule for Course Equivalencies Equivalent courses at different institutions are identified by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course number and are guaranteed to be transferable between participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions, as listed below in Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency. For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 84 different public and nonpublic postsecondary institutions. Each institution uses "ENC_101" to identify its freshman composition skills course. The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which students normally take the course at a specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, "ENC" means "English Composition," the century digit "1" represents "Freshman Composition," the decade digit "0" represents "Freshman Composition Skills," and the unit digit "1" represents "Freshman Composition Skills I." In the sciences and certain other areas, a "C" or "L" after the course number is known as a lab indicator. The "C" represents a combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in the same place at the same time. The "L" represents a laboratory course or the laboratory part of a course that has the same prefix and course number but meets at a different time or place. Transfer of any successfully completed course from one participating institution to another is guaranteed in cases where the course to be transferred is equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution. Equivalencies are established by the same prefix and last three digits and comparable faculty credentials at both institutions. For example, ENC 1101 is offered at a community college. The same course is offered at a state university as ENC 2101. A student who has successfully completed ENC 1101 at a Florida College System institution is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for ENC 2101 at the state university if the student transfers. The student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 again since ENC 1101 is equivalent to ENC 2101. Transfer credit must be awarded for successfully completed equivalent courses and used by the receiving institution to determine satisfaction of requirements by transfer students on the same basis as credit awarded to the native students. It is the prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed that have not been designated as equivalent. NOTE: Credit generated at institutions on the quarter-term system may not transfer the equivalent number of credits to institutions on the semester-term system. For example, 4.0 quarter hours often transfers as 2.67 semester hours.
The Course Prefix The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategory of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned prefix to identify the course.
Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states: Any student who transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and that participate in the statewide course numbering system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course numbering system faculty committees representing school districts, public postsecondary educational institutions, and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions to be academically equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution, including equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control of the previous institution. The Department of Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution are generated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those required by 56 | P a g e
the accrediting association of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the statewide course numbering system. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credits awarded to native students.
Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency Since the initial implementation of the SCNS, specific disciplines or types of courses have been excepted from the guarantee of transfer for equivalent courses. These include courses that must be evaluated individually or courses in which the student must be evaluated for mastery of skill and technique. The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution. 1. Courses not offered by the receiving institution. 2. For courses at nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question. 3. Courses in the _900-999 series are not automatically transferable and must be evaluated individually. These include such courses as Special Topics, Internships, Apprenticeships, Practica, Study Abroad, Theses, and Dissertations. 4. Applied academics for adult education courses. 5. Graduate courses. 6. Internships, apprenticeships, practica, clinical experiences, and study abroad courses with numbers other than those ranging from 900-999. 7. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance, Interior Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills courses in Criminal Justice (academy certificate courses) are not guaranteed as transferable. These courses need evidence of achievement (e.g., portfolio, audition, interview, etc.).
Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions The SCNS makes available on its home page (http://scns.fldoe.org) a report entitled "Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions" that contains a comprehensive listing of all nonpublic institution courses in the SCNS inventory, as well as each course's transfer level and transfer effective date. This report is updated monthly. Questions about the SCNS and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should be directed to Korona Skipper in the Office of Institutional Research or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling the SCNS office at (850) 245-0427 or at http://scns.fldoe.org.

Mission The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides the curricula whereby Santa Fe College students satisfy general education requirements and obtain the prerequisite courses required for transfer to upper-division university programs. This division furthers the college's mission by providing a strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate in Arts degree; preparing students with diverse backgrounds and goals for careers, further academic study and lifelong learning; creating intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning and problem-solving skills; building an awareness of self, diverse opinions and cultures, and one's responsibility within the global community; promoting the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline areas; and providing a personalized, supportive learning environment that challenges students to achieve high levels of academic performance.
Associate in Arts (AA) Degree The college offers the Associate in Arts degree to students wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate program within the Florida College or Florida State University systems upon completing an Associate's degree. In keeping with the Florida statewide articulation agreement, a portion of the general education requirements are determined by the state and each institution determines a portion of its own general education requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours required for the degree. Although the Associate in Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised early in their academic careers to be aware of the upper-division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within the required general education core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition, the Associate in Arts degree requires 24 hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to the upper division. Although the college will make every attempt to advise students concerning upper-division requirements for the various majors, students are urged to become familiar with the requirements of the upper-division institutions to which they plan to transfer. Students must select a program major by the time they complete 24 college credit hours. With the help of their advisors, students should choose electives that will be most advantageous in the pursuit of their intended bachelor's degrees. Each upper-division program in a Florida public state institution annually publishes counseling manuals for every major offered at that institution. Because of the complicated prerequisites and other requirements associated with fine arts programs, students pursuing an AA degree in a fine arts area should consult with the discipline coordinators of their program for academic advisement: Dance, Tari Kendall, 395-5916; Music/Vocal, Lynn Sandefur, 381-3639; Music/Instrumental, Sheila Forrester, 381-3862, ext. 6317; Theatre, Terry Klenk, 395-5092; Technical Theatre, Owen Reynolds, 395-5985; Visual Arts, Matthew Newell, 395-5810.
Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree
Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the general education program. 58 | P a g e
Complete at least 60 semester hours of credit in a prescribed course of study with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
Demonstrate competency in a foreign language.
Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.
Demonstrate competency in civics literacy. Meet Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon Rule). Courses marked with an asterisk (*) will meet a portion of this rule. Select courses from those with an assigned ID code of P (Parallel). Courses designated O (Occupational) are not guaranteed for acceptance by upper-division institutions and cannot be used as elective credit in the AA degree.
General Education The purpose of general education at Santa Fe College is to foster a disciplined curiosity that leads to empowerment of the student as an intentional learner and to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. By exploring many aspects of the traditional arts and sciences, students will learn about the human imagination and the products of cultural history and expression, the interrelationships within and among social and global communities, models that help to understand the patterns and behaviors of the natural world and social structures, and the values essential to local or global civic engagement. Specifically, students will encounter these ideas through courses in the sciences, mathematics, communications, the social sciences, the arts and humanities. While exploring these disciplines, students will also develop the college-level skills in communication, critical thinking, information literacy, scientific and quantitative reasoning, and global responsibility necessary for lifelong learning. In this way, the College seeks not only to instill knowledge, but also to integrate skills and knowledge within the context of cultural and professional competencies. By design, this practical liberal education is highly concentrated within the core of required arts and sciences courses. However, the knowledge and skills from these courses are reinforced in many areas of the curriculum, including elective courses, vocational courses and a variety of capstone learning experiences that interrelate principle and application.

General Education "Communications" Description and Rationale The Communications category of general education is designed to help students master the forms and conventions of the academic essay, and fluency in standard written English. Courses are designed to strengthen reading skills while teaching clear and effective written communication: the ability to organize and develop ideas effectively. Specifically, courses focus on essay organization, paragraph development, and basic writing strategies-including performing these tasks under time constraints.
Method Content is concentrated on developing communication skills. Students will learn effective reading, writing, speaking and listening skills through the discussion of reading assignments, multiple essay assessments, and peer review and collaborative exercises.
Criteria for courses The exchange of ideas between students and a regular interchange between instructor and student are crucial to the learning outcomes for this category; students will fail to meet minimal course requirements if they do not attend regularly. With that in mind, the English department requires that students attend at least 85% of the class meetings to receive credit for courses in the communications category. Because this course substantially depends on communication skills-- interactive class activities, in-class writing assignments, peer-response exercises, and a strict schedule of writing assignments that must be turned in on time--attendance is mandatory. Courses under this category must be writing intensive. To meet the writing intensive requirement, 70% of the final grade earned must come from formal written assignments. Because a major component of a writing intensive course is to provide feedback early and often, courses must include multiple written assignments.
60 | P a g e
Learning Outcomes Through various written assignments, students will be assessed for communication skills; successful communication involves expressing oneself within the conventions of a medium and working in many genres and styles. It can involve working in many different disciplines and technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.
General Education Humanities "Core Humanities" and "Fine Arts" Description and Rationale The Core Humanities Fine Arts category of General Education is designed to introduce students to both conventional academic as well as kinesthetic explorations of the Fine Arts. As such, courses in this category must have a strong emphasis on concepts key to each of the fine arts, including philosophical, aesthetic and methodological concepts of each individual form. Traditionally, the Fine Arts have included the study of visual arts, music, theatre and dance through the kinesthetic practice of their various forms along with the academic study of their respective cultural, historical, critical and theoretical contexts. Historically, public speaking is included in the Core Humanities Fine Arts General Education category, because of its emphasis on both rhetorical practice and academic critical analysis.
Method The Core Humanities Fine Arts category is concerned with the study and practice of its various disciplines, both by practical applications of theory in the studio as well as through student engagement within the traditional classroom setting. The study of recognized and experimental methods, historically established and contemporary viewpoints, represent ongoing explorations of the field in an ever-changing global world. Methods value lecture and demonstration, but also performance and improvisation, linear and non-linear thinking, the embracing of new technologies and an appreciation of evolving human relationships expressed by the form.
Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category must include substantial and broad coverage of defined theory and study of accepted and experimental methods and concepts most prevalent in the fine arts or in the study and practice of oral communications. Both the Fine Arts and Humanities and Foreign Languages department requires participation and attendance. Courses oriented toward specialized topics may comprise valuable fine arts electives but should not be included in this category of core courses.
Learning Outcomes Through various assignments, students will be assessed for communication skills; successful communication involves expressing oneself within the conventions of a medium and working in many genres and styles. It can involve working in many different disciplines and technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.
General Education "Mathematics" Description and Rationale Courses in the Mathematics category of general education are designed to provide the educational climate and activities needed to help build basic mathematical literacy in every student and to foster intellectual independence. In an increasingly complex world, mathematical thinking, understanding, and skill are more important than ever. Many concepts will be introduced using real world data from various areas, and other concepts will be reinforced by applying them to problems in the areas of science, engineering, business, economics, and medicine, amongst others.
Method Intellectual independence and mathematical literacy are supported by emphasizing creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills while developing an understanding of both skills and concepts. In so doing, we are charged with creating a supportive learning environment while challenging students with high expectations of achievement.
61 | P a g e
Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category must support the following goals of the Math Department:
Engage students in sound mathematical thinking and reasoning. This should include students finding patterns, generalizing, and asking/answering relevant questions.
Provide a setting that prepares students to read and learn mathematics on their own. Explore multiple representations of topics including graphical, symbolic, numerical, oral, and written. Encourage students to make connections among the various representations to gain a richer, more flexible understanding of each concept.
Analyze the structure of real-world problems and plan solution strategies. Solve the problems using appropriate tools.
Develop a mathematical vocabulary by expressing mathematical ideas orally and in writing. Enhance and reinforce the students understanding of concepts through the use of technology when appropriate.
Learning Outcomes As a result of successfully completing a general education mathematics course, students should be able to demonstrate the following:
Analyze and interpret quantitative data verbally, graphically, symbolically and numerically. Communicate quantitative data verbally, graphically, symbolically and numerically. Appropriately integrate technology into mathematical processes. Use mathematical concepts in problem-solving through integration of new material and modeling.
General Education "Natural Science" Description and Rationale Courses in the Natural Science category of general education are designed to provide the educational climate and activities needed to help build basic science literacy in every student and to foster intellectual independence.
Method Intellectual independence is supported by emphasizing creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills while basic science literacy is gained through the facts and skills associated with training in the sciences. In so doing, we are charged with creating a personalized, supportive learning environment while challenging students to reach high standards of achievement.
Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category should be broad introductory courses that include a focus on the process of performing scientific investigations and the verification and authentication of published results. Courses narrowly focused on one aspect of the subject matter and should not be included in this general education category.
Learning Outcomes Students should gain the ability to demonstrate the following (with the level of proficiency variable with the level of the course).
The ability to engage in a scientific reasoning process (induction, deduction, hypothesis testing, etc.) The proper use of key science concepts associated with the course The application of science concepts presented/discussed in this course to human experience in everyday life The proper use of mathematical tools The ability to communicate their knowledge in both oral and written form appropriate to the discipline
General Education "Social Sciences" Description and Rationale The Core General Education Social Sciences category is designed to introduce students to the study of the larger historical and political world, the interaction of people and cultures, and the diversity of human experience. Thus, the 62 | P a g e
category is inherently multidisciplinary, encompassing a wide range of perspectives and methodologies that explore the behavior of individuals and societies, past and present. Traditionally, the social sciences include such disciplines as anthropology, economics, geography, psychology, sociology, political science, and history.
Method Social Sciences courses call upon students to analyze and synthesize information in an effort to instill knowledge within a discipline's subject area. Such courses expose students to the research, concepts, and theoretical perspectives that can greatly increase their ability to understand and explain various aspects of human society. Ideally, the Core Social Sciences give students a substantial start in building a conceptual basis from which to interpret themselves and overall human behavior in an increasingly diverse, global society.
Criteria for Courses Courses eligible for inclusion in this category must provide broad and substantial coverage of a traditional social science discipline. As a fundamental element of General Education, they should be introductory courses that survey the major issues, themes, and theoretical frameworks of a subject area. Courses that narrowly focus on a single aspect of a subject area, much like an upper-level course designed for college majors, should not be included in this general education category.
Learning Outcomes Through a variety of assignments, Core Social Sciences courses will assess the "Critical Thinking" General Education Learning Outcome. According to the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) VALUE rubric, "critical thinking is a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion."
CIVICS LITERACY REQUIREMENT: Starting in the 2018-19 academic year, the State of Florida requires all first time-in college students pursuing an associate of arts or baccalaureate degree to demonstrate competency in civics literacy (see section 1007.25(4), Florida Statute) through one of the following options prior to graduation: 1) Successfully passing either AMH 2020 (US History Survey Since 1877) or POS 2041 (American National Government) 2) Achieving the standard score on one of the following assessments: Assessment Standard Score AP Government and Politics: United States 3 AP United States History 4 CLEP American Government 50
Foreign Language Competency Beginning with students entering in the Fall 2014 semester, all students must demonstrate competency in a foreign language as a requirement for the Associate in Arts degree. This requirement may be met in one of the following ways: completing two sequential credits of secondary (high school) instruction in one foreign language; completing a postsecondary foreign language course at the elementary 2 level (the second course in a foreign language sequence); or achieving an appropriate score on the CLEP, AP, or other standard examination, which may earn up to eight credits from the College. A student who demonstrates proficiency in a native language other than English is exempt from this requirement, though the College may specify conditions or requirements for the documentation of such competency in less commonly taught languages. Currently, Santa Fe College offers classes in American Sign Language, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish and may offer other languages as well. Through an agreement between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida, SF students may also be able to register for foreign languages not offered at Santa Fe on a space available basis. For more information about languages offered at UF, please contact the Department of Humanities and Foreign Languages, Building P, room 152, or call 352-395-5075.
Math Sequence Policy All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits must register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed 63 | P a g e
credit hours. Students automatically exempted from this policy include HSDE (high school dual enrollment) students, transient students, students registered for one or more EAP courses, and students under warning for SAP or SOAP standards. Other students may request a waiver after discussion with either their academic adviser or the math chair. The adviser or the chair will discuss the overall course plan with the student as well as the student's reason for asking for a waiver from the policy to determine the best course of action.
Gordon Rule Writing Courses The purpose of the Writing-Intensive requirement at Santa Fe College is to assist students refine their college-level writing skills. College-level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills in discussing a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appropriate diction, conventions, and rhetorical strategies. A Writing-Intensive Course has as major instructional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial discipline-based writing component. This requires multiple opportunities for students to (1) demonstrate disciplined-based writing competency (2) receive appropriate feedback and (3) to incorporate that feedback into assignments within the same course and semester.1 Note that any work submitted too late in the semester for the instructor comments to be available to the students cannot be used to meet the writing-intensive requirement. While no specific word-count is required writing must be a central component of the course. Individual LAS Departments will be responsible for identifying appropriate types of "disciplined-based writing" assignments and providing any additional guidelines for writing intensive courses in the discipline. However, some assignments are unlikely to be suitable for these purposes. For example, teamwork or writing done by a group or team and class notes are unlikely to satisfy the requirement. In a Writing-Intensive Course, writing assignments must count at least a significant part of the final course grade. The majority of writing assignments are assessed by faculty towards refining college level writing skills. Instructors must evaluate written work on its content and content development (i.e., effectiveness, organization, clarity, and coherence of the writing). General comments about syntax, mechanics, and usage of standard written English should also be provided, including if necessary, reference to the Writing Lab or other relevant available resources. Instructors must provide feedback to the student on the written work submitted. Rubrics are available for faculty use in providing feedback. In order to receive credit for a writing intensive course, students must satisfactorily complete the writing portion of a Writing-Intensive Course and receive an overall grade of C or higher. If a student does not receive a C AND satisfactorily complete the writing portion of the course, a course grade of D or below will be assigned. A grade of D or D+ will allow the course to count as an elective, but neither Writing Intensive nor General Education credit will be given.
Research and Analysis Research is a systematic process of identifying a topic and of exploring issues / objects / works through the collection and analysis of evidence that result in informed conclusions/ judgments. Analysis is the process of organizing and synthesizing evidence to reveal insightful patterns, differences, or similarities related to a focused topic. (AAC&U Inquiry and Analysis Value Rubric) Students in a Research and Analysis Course will develop a substantial discipline-based research project. Individual LAS Departments will be responsible for identifying appropriate types of "substantial disciplined-based research projects." Research & Analysis courses will be writing intensive as described by the current definition of "writing intensive" As the General Education Learning Outcome for Research and Analysis Courses is Information Literacy, instructors must assess the student's "ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly use and share that information for the problem at hand." (AAC&U Information Literacy Value Rubric). 1
Note that the specification that the student be able to incorporate feedback into multiple assignments requires that the professor offer at least three writing assignments. Otherwise, the student would not have more than one opportunity to incorporate instructor feedback. I do not know what the best number of assignments might be, I suspect that if there is a
64 | P a g e
"best number of assignments," it would vary between disciplines. Also, it is not clear to me that a word-count (no matter how high) would generate more assignments than the current wording.

Apprenticeship Programs "Earn while you learn" is the philosophy of Santa Fe College's Apprenticeship Program. The construction industry needs electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and A/C and heating technicians. Because of this demand, worlds of opportunity open to those who learn a valuable trade through one of these apprenticeships. Expect to earn a good salary while working up to the level of journeyperson. Apprenticeships provide the individual who is working in the field an opportunity to learn the technical aspects of a trade in the classroom while applying this knowledge on the job. The combination of these two aspects prepares the apprentice to advance through the trade at an accelerated rate. Apprentices earn a guaranteed wage throughout the training with incremental raises at various stages in the program. Students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. The length of most of the programs is four years with the exception of carpentry, which is two years. Classroom activities in conjunction with on-the-job training prepare the students to perform as tradespersons upon completion. Students not currently employed in the field will be helped in seeking employment with sponsoring contractors. The program is sponsored by the Builders Association of North Central Florida. For more information, call Justin MacDougall at 352-395-5251 or email justin.a.macdougall@sfcollege.edu. New trainees for all apprenticeship programs must first complete the core curriculum, which provides a basic introduction to construction skills and covers the following:

Automotive Service Management Technology, AAS Program Code: 2604 The Santa Fe College AAS degree in Automotive Service Management Technology is a two-year program designed to upgrade the technical competence and the professional level of the incoming technician. The curriculum is designed by the college in cooperation with local dealership personnel and independent repair facility owners. The program involves not only classroom lectures and laboratory experiences on modern vehicles and components at the college, but also requires the student to work at a local dealership or independent repair facility. The program is unique in design and is divided between specific periods of on-campus study and training followed by an equal amount of work experience at the sponsoring agency. For example, the first semester involves eight weeks of classroom and lab time on campus followed by eight weeks of work experience time. Then the student returns to Santa Fe for eight weeks of study in another specialized area followed by eight weeks of related work experience. This rotation continues until the two-year program is completed. The cooperative work experience is a paid experience, and the work time can be credited toward the ASE certification work experience requirement. The automotive industry has become an exciting and challenging field with the advent of advanced electronic control systems. This program is designed to raise the skill level of the potential automotive technician to beyond that of general automotive training programs. Although the program requires much effort and dedication on the part of the student, the rewards awaiting the program completer are well worth the time and effort. Santa Fe College's Automotive Program is "Master Certified" by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) to meet the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) standards of quality. Scholarships will be awarded annually to provide financial assistance to eligible graduating seniors from Alachua and Bradford counties who attend Santa Fe College.

The Fine Arts and Entertainment Technology department offers two A.S. degree programs in Graphic Design Technology (A.S.) and Digital Media Technology (A.S.). These programs prepare students to enter careers in the fields of graphic design, video production, digital and multimedia and digital broadcast. These programs are performance and portfolio-based and include extensive hands-on training using industry standard technology, hardware and software. The faculty and staff of these A.S. programs work closely with an advisory board made up of local and regional professionals in the Graphic Design, Video, Advertising, Broadcast and Digital Media fields. Members of this board act as liaisons to the professional field providing student portfolio review, assistance with employment opportunities and offering professional input on curriculum and technology needs for the students/faculty. Students who complete the Digital Media Technology A.S. (video production) in this department are eligible to apply for the BAS in Multimedia and Video Production Technology at Santa Fe College. The lab and classroom facilities for these programs at Santa Fe College include dedicated computer instructional classrooms with state-of-the-art networked computer workstations, green-screen studios, various layout, production and photography studios and a sound recording room. A college-sponsored organization, the Graphic Design Student Association, is open to all students interested in graphic design, video and digital media technology. Members participate in many professional development and public service activities throughout the year. The club provides opportunities for students to use their multimedia and design skills to work on community projects. It also sponsors guest speakers, field trips, and professional networking. Contact the Digital Media Technology office in Building N, room 309, 352-395-5579, for information.
Digital Media Technology, AS Program Code: 3620 The Associate in 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. Digital Media Technology (Multimedia) students are admitted to the program twice a year. Digital Media Technology students entering the program in the spring will take their second semester classes in the summer to enter their third semester the following fall. Second semester classes will not be offered during the fall semesters. Admission is competitive. The Digital Media Technology program requires a separate application beyond initial acceptance to Santa Fe College. Admission is based on faculty rankings of the departmental applications. It is not a requirement that students complete their General Education requirements before applying for admission to Digital Media Technology. 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 recommend). 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 industry standard computer hardware and software. The Multimedia Production track also teaches the basic skills needed to author, design, organize and deliver multimedia 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 Video Production and Editing, 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.

These patients may suffer from a variety of acute and chronic respiratory conditions which may be life threatening or disabling, such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema, emphysema, congenital defects, drowning, hemorrhage, shock and trauma. Through proper respiratory care and management, many patients who might not have survived can now return to active lives. The respiratory therapist is a life-support specialist. During emergency calls, which often are life or death situations, respiratory therapists are responsible for life support of the patient through airway management, artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage and additional sophisticated emergency support measures. Respiratory therapists manage mechanical ventilators (machines that can provide all of the breathing for patients who can't breathe on their own). Respiratory therapists must be proficient in many areas, including the administration of oxygen and therapeutic aerosols, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary function studies, blood gas retrieval and analysis and physiologic monitoring. The Respiratory care Program at Santa Fe College (#200215) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www.coarc.com) to award an Associate in Science Degree in Respiratory Care at its Northwest Campus. Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care P.O. Box 54876, Hurst TX, 76054-4876, (817) 283-2835. The program prepares its graduates to take virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory Care, and also provides a sound technical and theoretical base from which the student can have the educational advantage of lateral and upward mobility.

Total Program Hours: 30 Surgical Technology Certificate Program Code: 7338 Department Chair, Allied Health Programs Sharon Whitcraft Program Director Diane May The Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a key member of the surgical team who anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges in an efficient manner during surgery. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST may be involved in holding retractors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the operative site, or cutting suture material. The surgical technologist must perform under pressure in stressful and emergency situations; have a strong sense of responsibility, considerable patience, manual dexterity, and physical stamina. CSTs ensure that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound, suturing and other technical functions. Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulatory care centers. There are also jobs in medical sales, product development, and management roles in surgical services and research. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons as "private scrubs" and/or surgical first assistants. The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Committee on Surgical Technology Education. Graduates are qualified to take the NBSTSA National Certification Examination. Achieving the CST credential is crucial for professional recognition and advancement.

Paramedic Certificate Program Code: 6900 The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Programs at Santa Fe College consist of a First Responder/ Emergency Medical Responder course, the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Certificate Program, the Paramedic Certificate Program, and the Emergency Medical Services Associate in Science degree. These programs prepare EMS professionals to deliver patient care at the scene of an emergency or while working in an ambulance, with a fire rescue agency, in a hospital emergency department, in the military, with a law enforcement agency, and in many other areas of health care. The College's EMS programs have consistently been recognized among the top ten nationally. The Associate in Science degree in EMS is applicable for people who are currently employed in these fields and who want to improve their knowledge, skills, and abilities for career development. Students must demonstrate competency in reading, writing, oral communication and fundamental mathematical and computer skills. The EMS Program's goal is to prepare competent entry-level Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains. The EMT is a professional who delivers basic life support care. The EMT certificate is a one-semester college credit program consisting of classroom, laboratory, hospital emergency department, and ambulance clinical components. Although this is considered a part-time program, at least 25 hours per week and a flexible 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 one-year college credit certificate program, which is three semesters, 43-credit hours (minimum of 1,100 clock hours in length). The student will learn advanced life support patient care and procedures. The program consists of classroom, laboratory, hospital clinical and ambulance clinical components. This program, like EMT, requires a strong commitment to the profession. Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, the student may be eligible to take the National Registry and/or the State of Florida Paramedic Certification Examination. The Santa Fe College's Paramedic Programs is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).

Admission Requirements Emergency Medical Services programs have limited class sizes to enhance learning and practical exercise opportunities for students. An additional application process is in place to ensure that students have the best opportunity for success. Please review our website at https://www.sfcollege.edu/ips/index to review the eligibility requirements and application deadlines. The Paramedic Program is a college credit certificate program, which is three semesters, 43-credit hours (minimum of 1100 clock hours) in length (one year). Current Florida certification as an emergency medical technician is required prior to applying for entry into the Paramedic Program. The Program typically begins in January and August of each year and requires a special application and acceptance process. Paramedics utilize advanced medical skills combined with the skills learned in EMT to render care in a variety of situations and settings. A paramedic is a member of the 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 often are called upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people,
185 | P a g e
and function under stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build. Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students may be eligible to take the State of Florida Paramedic Certification and/or the National Registry Examination. Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification, Anatomy and Physiology* course (as either BSC 2084 / BSC 2084L OR BSC 2085 / BSC 2085L and BSC 2086 / BSC 2086L), and American Heart Association health care provider CPR, or its equivalent. *Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semester Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC 2085 / BSC 2085L and BSC 2086 / BSC 2086L).

Lawful and effective interviews can lead an officer directly to the truth; therefore, it is crucial to justice that officers develop effective interviewing techniques and note taking skills. In addition, officers must develop effective report writing skills. A poorly written report that contains inadequate or inaccurate information can discredit the best of investigations and demean the writer's competence and professionalism. The terms incident report and report will be used interchangeably throughout this chapter.

While patrolling, officers will respond to a variety of calls for service, which will vary between noncriminal and criminal incidents. A noncriminal call for service may range from a request for information to performing a security check of a structure. Criminal calls for service are any incidents involving an alleged violation of criminal law. This chapter provides an overview of the more common calls for service that an officer may encounter. Officers must maintain professionalism and situational awareness at all times when responding to any call for service. Post-Secondary Adult Vocational CJK 0078C - Crime Scene to Courtroom Credit Hours: 1.2 Prerequisite(s): None Corequisite(s): None Upon arriving at an incident or crime scene, an officer will take a sequence of steps to protect all parties: gather information; identify, separate, and interview subjects; and complete the initial investigation successfully. The single most significant part of the initial stage of a criminal investigation is the processing of the crime scene. Identify types of evidence that might be present at a scene, based on an evaluation of the incident or type of crime. Know when and how to get help in searching the scene. The first priority is to secure, protect, and preserve the scene to avoid contaminating the evidence. The second priority must be to search for, identify, document, collect, and maintain the physical evidence, or the prosecution of the suspect may be in jeopardy. Victims and witnesses must be located, identified, and separated to obtain detailed information about what happened. Identify and arrest the offender if he or she is on the scene. If the offender has fled, initiate a Be On the Look Out (BOLO). Often, law enforcement officers think that the arrest is the end of their participation in a criminal case; however, an arrest is only a suspect's entrance into the criminal justice system. Officers remain an integral part of the prosecution process until the case is resolved through entry of a plea, a conviction, or an acquittal after trial.
