College Philosophy, Mission, and Values

Statement of Philosophy

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

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

Mission

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

Values

Santa Fe College is a dynamic, innovative learning community committed to

• Draw on our culture of diversity, inclusion, and equity to innovate and excel.

• Be a student-ready college providing a continuum of lifelong learning opportunities.

• Advance student success through assessment and continuous improvement of programs, services, and operations.

• Prepare active and responsible contributors to local and global society.

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.

Originally named Santa Fe Junior College, Santa Fe College became the new name in 2008 when it was authorized by Florida's governor and legislature to offer baccalaureate degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. First Bachelor's degree program was offered Fall 2009 in Organizational Management.

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.

College Centers

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

Andrews Center

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

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

Blount Hall Campus

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

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

SF's Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED) is also located at Blount Hall. The college is dedicated to regional economic development. The CIED custom designs short, long and "eLearning" online courses for professionals, businesses, industries, and governments, and offers incubator services that enable new businesses to establish themselves.

Davis Center

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

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

Kirkpatrick Center

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

Northwest Campus

The main SF campus is in northwest Gainesville adjacent to I-75. The campus is home to Admissions, Administration, and Financial Aid offices, as well as academic, student, and athletic centers. The NW Campus includes the Perry Construction Institute, a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered building; a University of Florida/Santa Fe College Learning Center for online education; and the Fine Arts Hall, a state-of-the-art performance and educational center.

Perry Center for Emerging Technologies

Programs Include Biotechnology Laboratory Technology, Biomedical Equipment Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science, Phlebotomy, and an expanding general education curriculum.

Watson Center

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

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

If your interest lies in the sciences, the Watson Center has a state-of-the-art organic chemistry lab. As the campus includes a native Florida sand hill ecosystem, you can study the world-both in the lab and in the natural environmentwithout leaving the beautiful 43-acre campus. The Watson Center weather station serves as a data provider for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Open Campus (Online Courses)

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

The number of online courses available at Santa Fe College increases every semester. Currently there are many programs, ranging from certificates to bachelor's degrees that can be fulfilled completely online. The US@SF Center, in partnership with the University of Florida, provides counseling and support for SF and UF students who are pursuing studies online.

College Assets for the Community

SF offers many cultural activities to enrich the community's quality of life.

Students whose placement test scores are below college level may be required to enroll in Development Education 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) A.A.-Degree seeking students who are exempted from taking the PERT based on their ACT or SAT scores will be required to take the Accuplacer/Next Gen (AAF) test to determine proper mathematics placement.

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

Please Note: Graduates from Florida public high schools with a standard diploma in 2007 or later may be exempt from taking a placement test and/or Developmental Education coursework. Students interested in learning more about this and to see if they are eligible for this exemption are encouraged to make an appointment to speak with their Academic Advisor. Each student's assigned advisor and his/her contact information may be found by viewing the Degree Audit in eSantaFe.

the day before the first day of class. Priority registration is reserved for those applicants who complete the Admissions process by the Application Priority Dates (April 1 for summer semester, August 1 for fall semester, and December 1 for spring semester).

For this and other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcollege.edu or contact the Office of Admissions at 352-395-7322. These dates are subject to change without notice. Please refer to the Admissions website at www.sfcollege.edu for updated information regarding admissions deadlines and/or requirements.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply early and complete all registration procedures before the Priority Dates. Failure to submit the required documentation before the first day of classes may result in the inability to attend classes in the desired term.

Degree Programs

The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree program is 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.

Military Science

Air Force ROTC

The Air Force Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) was established to select and prepare students to serve as officers in the United States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program is divided into two phases. The first two years constitute the General Military Course and the last two the Professional Officer Course. Full-time Santa Fe College students are eligible to enroll in the General Military Course taught at the University of Florida. Transferring at a later date to one of the more than 140 colleges and universities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

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

To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-3921355.

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.

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 https://www.sfcollege.edu/fa/ways-to-pay/.

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 https://studentaid.gov/. 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.

• 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.

More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa.

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.

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.

Steps to Financial Aid

Please follow the seven steps below to make sure your financial aid is awarded without delay:

2. Apply for admission to Santa Fe College if you have not done so already.

3. Request proof of high school graduation or equivalent and request all college/postsecondary transcripts from all prior institutions. Start this process as soon as possible because it may take time to receive and process transcripts.

• Proof of high school graduation or equivalent must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.

• If you have attended any other college or university, you must submit all official final transcripts to the Office of Admissions. This includes technical schools, out-of-state schools and even schools attended for less than a year or semester.

4. Submit all required/requested documents and transcripts to the appropriate offices.

• You may view and submit required Financial Aid documents in eSantaFe through My FA Status.

• Official transcripts are submitted to the Registrar's Office.

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

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

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

More information can be found at www.sfcollege.edu/fa.

Where to Get Help

If you have a question or need help with any part of the financial aid process, you may email us at financial.aid@sfcollege.edu, call us at 352-395-5480 or you may visit the Financial Aid Office in R-122. If you need assistance filing the FAFSA, visit the computer lab in R-226 on the NW campus.

Students at locations other than the NW Campus can get help information about their center at www.sfcollege.edu/locations.

After reviewing applicable policies and procedures, students have the right to file a complaint using appropriate protocols outlined by the college.

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.

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).

• 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. *

• Add the SF Federal School code 001519 to the FAFSA.

• Tell your current school about your transfer plans and request that they cancel your aid at that school.

*All 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

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 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 the federal government processes your financial aid application

• 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. 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 by the Cashier's Office 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, register, receive an official transcript for completed course work, diploma, or benefit from other regular college services.

Any student who has paid for course registration fees with a check or e-payment that is dishonored for any reason must make immediate restitution to the college. All returned payments are subject to a returned item fee. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitution is unlikely, the student's registration will be canceled.

Audit Fees

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

Additional College Credit Course Fee

An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in a college credit course more than two times. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to 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)

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.

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 degree. Therefore, a student can only earn one AA degree.

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.

Advisors are available at the Northwest Campus and at the Blount, Andrews, Watson, Davis, Perry, and Kirkpatrick centers. Service hours may vary by location so students ae encouraged to review each location's advisement page for details.

AA students who meet stated requirements have the right to participate in SF2FAMU, SF2NCF, SF2UNF, SF2USF, SF2UVI or SF2UWF. SF2FAMU provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at Florida A&M University, SF2NCF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at New College of Florida, SF2UNF provides guaranteed admission into the University of North Florida, SF2USF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of South Florida, SF2UVI provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of Virgin Islands and SF2UWF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of West Florida. Visit our website https://www.sfcollege.edu/transfer/guaranteed/ 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.

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 Guideline

All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits should register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed credit hours. This does not 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. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss their academic plan.

Academic Standards of Progress

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

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

Academic Probation. Any student who fails to achieve an all-college cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and a term GPA of 2.0 or higher for 2 consecutive terms will be notified via the college's notification system and placed on academic probation. Once a student has been placed on probation, they will be limited to 9 credit hours until they are placed back

into good academic standing except that the student can take 12 credit hours as long as one of the courses is selected from the following list: SLS1101, SLS1301, SLS1601 or SLS1531.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grades and Reports

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

2. At the end of the term, final grades are available on eSantaFe at the SF website, www.sfcollege.edu.

3. Forgiveness Policy: Courses in which a grade of D or F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts marked with a T 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.

4. Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X are not included in total grade point averages.

Forgiveness Policy

Courses in which a grade of D or F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts marked with a T are not included with calculating the cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with an R are included when calculating the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not 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.

Fresh Start

SF Fresh Start enables students to apply to exclude their academic record prior to a specified date from their cumulative grade point calculations at Santa Fe College. Each student may only be granted Fresh Start once. The excluded portion of the academic record must be at least five years old. Application decisions will be made by the college's Fresh Start Review Committee, and appeals will be reviewed by the Vice President for Student Affairs. The President is authorized to establish procedures related to Fresh Start.

Withdrawals

Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or Records Registration Lab (Building R, room 226) 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.

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, including sessions D or G, 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.

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.

Dean's List

Santa Fe College's Dean's List is an academic distinction used to recognize the highest level of scholarship demonstrated by students who meet eligibility requirements. Students are eligible for the Dean's List in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. To qualify, a student must be enrolled in a Vocational Certificate, Associate's, or Bachelor's degree program, enroll full time, and have a minimum 3.5 grade point average for the semester.

Honors Program

The Honors Program fosters academic excellence in Santa Fe College's best, brightest, and most motivated students. The program provides Honors sections of General Education classes, as well as special elective offerings.

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

• Complete at least 15 hours of Honors course work.

• Maintain an overall 3.5 GPA.

Current and transfer students are invited to join the program after meeting the following criteria:

1. A 3.5 academic GPA and a minimum of 12 credit hours in AA degree course work at SF or at another College, and

2. Two faculty recommendations and completion of application; OR

3. Special approval by the Honors Program coordinator.

Dual Enrollment and incoming students with strong high school records and test scores are also accepted. For more information, contact the Honors Program at 352-381-3825.

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 College 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. SF students interested in transient enrollment should review the transient process overview information at https://www.sfcollege.edu/advisement/transient-students/.

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 can "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 is a part of the Statewide Reverse Transfer Articulation Agreement and participates in reverse credit transfer services, through signed agreement with the National Student Clearinghouse. These agreements facilitate 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 College provided they maintain continuous enrollment. SF defines continuous enrollment as completion of at least one course per semester, without having a break in enrollment lasting three or more consecutive semesters. A "break in enrollment" is as a semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer) in which a student did not register for and complete at least one course. Withdrawals are considered completed courses.

Students who fail to maintain continuous enrollment must reapply for admission, will be subject to all admission requirements in effect at the time of reapplication, and will be assigned the catalog year in effect at the time for the readmission term.

Students who change their degree program will be assigned the catalog year in effect at the time of the program change. 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 interested in this option should consult with an academic advisor. Students will not be permitted to go back and graduate from a previous catalog year.

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.

Digital Badges

Starting fall 2022 for the 2022-2023 academic year and thereafter, students who enter Santa Fe College will be awarded

a nationally recognized digital badge upon completion of general education core courses that demonstrate career readiness.

Industry Certification

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

Experiential Learning

Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit for previous experience or training in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to submit requests for such credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments verify with the Office of the Registrar that another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined within each department. Experiential credits based on work experience may require a letter from the student's employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Credit granted through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions. Applications forms for experiential learning are available from the program office in which credit is being requested.

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 seats available on 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

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

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

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

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

Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)

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

Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE)

The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the British system of "A-Levels." Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee's recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of the Registrar (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Excelsior College Examinations

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

Department Credit by Examination

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

the course is taught. Students may not apply for course credit through an SF Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is available. Students should be aware that SF Credit Examinations may not be offered for certain courses due to the nature of a particular course's content.

Students may not take an examination for credit in a course if they have attempted the course at SF (receiving either an A, B, C, D, F, I or W for work attempted) or if they have earned credit for an advanced course in that area. Decisions about the relevancy of advanced courses will be made by instructors giving the examination. Credit by examination will not be counted in student course loads but will be averaged into student grade point averages. Credit by examination will not be available during the period between official college terms or on official college holidays.

Procedure for SF Department Credit by Examination

1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the offices of academic chairpersons and directors.

2. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chair or director. If the application is approved, the chair or director will explain how the examination will be administered according to current procedures. Depending on the discipline or program area, either individual examination dates for each student or a common examination date for all students will be set each term.

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

4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier's window in the Robertson Administration Building for payment of the $30 examination fee.

5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area examiner indicated in step two above.

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

7. Students must then return to the office where the application was made, pick up a copy of the signed form and take it to the Office of 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.

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

Career Pathways College Credit

Career Pathways College credit is a mechanism of accelerated credit that may be implemented during the high school years. Students who have earned sufficiently high grades in Career and Technical Education or career academy classes while in high school, and who have passed an exam formulated and administered by Santa Fe College, will receive credit on a permanent college transcript. For more information, please contact the Career Pathways Office at -352-3955885.

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.

If the student:

...Then excess credit hour charge applies to any credits taken above:

...And the excess surcharge is: For Example:

Began college as an undergraduate between fall 2009 and summer 2011

Began college as an undergraduate between fall 2011 and summer 2012

120% of the required credit hours

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.

115% of the required credit hours

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

110% of the required credit hours

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.

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.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

The purpose of this document is to provide students with a general overview of both their rights and responsibilities as members of the Santa Fe College community. This list of student rights and responsibilities was developed using various documents that mandate College policies, rules, and procedures. This document is not intended to create new or additional rights or responsibilities or to supersede or supplement existing rules and procedures, but merely to serve as a helpful guide for students. In the event a rule or procedure is modified, the terms of that rule or procedure will govern the students' rights and responsibilities rather than this summary document.

Academic Advisement. Students have the right to academic advisement. Academic advisors provide degree-seeking students with information and guidance as they develop a plan to attain their educational goals - including course selection and sequencing, as well as answers to their transfer questions. Students are assigned an academic advisor based on program of study. The name of each student's advisor is listed in eSantaFe.

Academic Freedom. Students have the right to be taught by faculty who have the freedom to 1) teach and discuss any aspect of a topic pertinent to the understanding of the subject matter of the course that he/she is teaching and 2) act and speak in his/her capacity as a citizen without institutional censorship or discipline. Santa Fe College has had a long history of responsible academic freedom in which it takes justifiable pride.

Academic Objectives. Students are responsible for satisfying the entire range of academic objectives as they are defined by the instructor in any course. Failure to satisfy any of the course objectives may have an adverse effect on the grade earned in the course or may result in the student receiving no credit in the course. Attendance requirements are included in the academic objectives of each course and shall be presented in writing by the instructor at the beginning of each term.

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

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

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

Accessibility. Students have the right to access all Santa Fe College's courses, programs, services, and activities. That includes the right to request reasonable substitutions and reasonable accommodations for admission and graduation requirements based on documented disabilities. Approved accommodations may not fundamentally alter the nature of a course or a program. Students with disabilities have the right to an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from courses, programs, services, and activities offered through the College; to an equal opportunity to learn, and to receive reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids and services; to appropriate confidentiality of all disability related information and to choose to whom, outside of the College, disability related information will be disclosed, except as disclosures are required/permitted by law; and to information, reasonably available in accessible formats.

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

AA students who meet stated requirements have the right to participate in SF2FAMU, SF2NCF, SF2UNF, SF2USF, SF2UVI or SF2UWF SF2FAMU provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at Florida A&M University, SF2NCF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at New College of Florida, SF2UNF provides guaranteed admission into the University of North Florida, SF2USF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of South Florida, SF2UVI provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of Virgin Islands and SF2UWF provides guaranteed admission into specific programs at the University of West Florida.

The Counseling Center also provides crisis stabilization and referral resources for long-term therapy. Students may expect counselors to abide by the ethical codes of their respective professional organizations and the legal statues of the State of Florida governing their profession. In keeping with these standards counselors will respect and maintain student privacy, but a counselor may be required to break confidentiality if there is a clear and immediate probability of physical harm to the client/student or others, if there is a report of child abuse, or if there is a report of elder abuse.

Harassment. Harassment is a type of discrimination. Although sexual harassment is addressed more specifically in College Rule 2.8, harassment generally is covered under the policy if: 1) it is based upon race, ethnicity, national origin, color, religion, age, disability, sex, pregnancy status, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, political opinions or affiliations, or veteran status; and 2) such conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it interferes with or limits a person's ability to participate in or benefit from SF's education or work programs or activities (also called hostile environment harassment). Harassing conduct may take various forms, including verbal, non-verbal, graphic, or written statements (including the use of cell phones or the Internet), or other physical conduct that may be threatening, harmful, or humiliating. Whether the conduct creates a hostile environment may depend on a variety of factors, including: the degree to which the conduct affected one or more person's education or employment; the type, frequency, and duration of the conduct; the relationship between the parties; the number of people involved; and the context in which the conduct occurred. Harassment does not have to include intent to harm, be directed at a specific target, or involve repeated incidents. College community members are encouraged to not wait to report conduct of concern until harassment becomes sufficiently serious (i.e., severe, pervasive, or persistent) to create a hostile environment. The Equity Officer/Title IX Coordinator and other College officials can take proactive steps to prevent harassment from continuing or escalating and to protect or otherwise assist the person harassed. The Equity Officer/Title IX Coordinator can help identify conduct that might be a warning sign of or constitute hostile environment harassment prohibited by this policy and address any concerns or complaints appropriately. The College's Title IX Coordinator/Equity Officer can be reached at 3000 NW 83rd Street, R-Annex, Room 113 Gainesville, Florida 32606 352-395-5950 or equity.officer@sfcollege.edu.

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 https://flscns.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 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 (https://flscns.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 https://www.fldoe.org/contact-us/.

Developmental Education and English as a Second Language

Developmental Education

In support of academic achievement, Santa Fe College has a Learning Commons that provides academic support in mathematics, reading, writing, and other disciplines. This service is offered to students at all levels. Students may be referred to the Learning Commons by instructors or may seek additional help independently. All tutoring and other Learning Commons supports are free of charge to SF students.

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

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

The College Preparatory courses are:

• ENC 0025 - Developmental Writing 2

• ENC 0027 - Developmental Reading and Writing 2

• REA 0017 - Developmental Reading 2

• MAT 0018 - Developmental Mathematics 1

• MAT 0022 - Integrated Arithmetic and Algebra

• MAT 0028 - Developmental Mathematics 2

Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are required to re-register for the failed course the following semester. Students are strongly recommended to enroll in College Composition (ENC 1101) immediately after they complete College Preparatory reading and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to enroll in MAT 1033 after they complete MAT 0022 or MAT 0028.

Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in each College Preparatory course. Withdrawal from a College Preparatory course after the last day to drop and receive a refund will count as an attempt. Since the state will fund only two College Preparatory attempts, students will pay the full tuition cost for the third attempt, which is equivalent to outof-state tuition.

Grades earned in Development Education courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the students' GPAs and will be included in the calculation of Standards of Academic Progress (SOAP).

English as a Second Language (ESL) English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Non-native speakers of English who place into College Preparatory reading and English are required to register for the ESL (EAP) College Preparatory courses. The courses in this program integrate reading, writing, listening and speaking activities to prepare non-native speakers of English for college level work.

The ESL (EAP) program consists of the following courses:

• EAP 0200C - ESL Communication for College 1

• EAP 0220C - ESL Basic Reading

• EAP 0240C - ESL Basic Writing

• EAP 0300C - ESL Communication for College 2

• EAP 0320C - ESL Intermediate Reading

• EAP 0340C - ESL Intermediate Writing

• EAP 0400C - ESL Communication for College 3

• EAP 0420C - ESL College Preparatory Reading

• EAP 0440C - ESL College Preparatory Writing

Grades earned in ESL (EAP) courses will not count toward graduation. These grades will be included in the students' GPAs and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.

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

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 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 an intended transfer 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.

Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree

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

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

• average.

• Demonstrate competency in a foreign language.

• 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.

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

General Education

The purpose of general education at Santa Fe College is to foster a disciplined curiosity that leads to empowerment of the student as an intentional learner and to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. By exploring many aspects of the traditional arts and sciences, students will learn about the human imagination and the products of cultural history and expression, the interrelationships within and among social and global communities, models that help to understand the patterns and behaviors of the natural world and social structures, and the values essential to local or global civic engagement. Specifically, students will encounter these ideas through courses in the sciences, mathematics, communications, the social sciences, and 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, whether it be within the academy or in the professional world. 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, we expect that students will find the knowledge and skills from these courses are reinforced in many areas of the curriculum, including elective courses, vocational courses, and a variety of capstone learning experiences that interrelate principle and application.

General Education Learning Outcomes

Each general education course at Santa Fe is expected to address one of six learning outcomes. The table below describes these six outcomes and the competencies associated with them in greater detail.

• Communication

o Written Communication. Written communication is the development and expression of ideas in writing. Written communication involves learning to work in many genres and styles. It can involve

working with many different writing technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images. Written communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.

o Oral communication. Oral communication is a prepared, purposeful presentation designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change in the listeners' attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors.

• Critical Thinking 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.

• Scientific Reasoning Understanding scientific concepts and reasoning and analyzing and interpreting various types of scientific data. The current definition of scientific reasoning is based on a description by the American Association for Higher Education and Accreditation whereby scientific reasoning is divided into the reductionist and integrative approaches to the understanding and improvement of student learning.

• Quantitative Reasoning Is a "habit of mind," competency, and comfort in working with numerical data. Individuals with strong QL skills possess the ability to reason and solve quantitative problems from a wide array of authentic contexts and everyday life situations. They understand and can create sophisticated arguments supported by quantitative evidence and they can clearly communicate those arguments in a variety of formats (using words, tables, graphs, mathematical equations, etc., as appropriate).

• Information Literacy The 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. Adopted from the National Forum on Information Literacy.

Digital Badges for General Education:

Students entering in 2022-23: Pursuant to s. 1007.25(4), F.S., all students initially entering a public postsecondary institution in the 2022-23 academic year (fall 2022) and thereafter and enroll in general education core courses are eligible for the awarding of a digital badge. This is inclusive of dual enrollment students who complete core courses while in high school in the 2022-23 academic year and thereafter. Minimally, institutions must award badges to students meeting these criteria.

Effective Communication: Effective written communication is the ability to communicate ideas, information, and perspectives clearly, adapting a message to different audiences and situations, and using the appropriate style to convey meaning in various written contexts. Students who complete ENC1101 with a grade of C or higher will receive this badge.

Learning Outcomes: By completing the college course associated with this badge, you will demonstrate information literacy, comprehension of written material, and conveying information in writing for a variety of rhetorical purposes and audiences. Some of the learning outcomes associated with the college course that results in this badge include:

• Examining and analyzing written material.

• Synthesizing information and ideas.

• Developing content relevant to the purpose.

• Demonstrating the ability to write to a specific audience.

• Presenting a perspective informed by research and critical thinking.

• Revising written communication based on feedback.

Importance in Workplace

• Enhances an employee's ability to interpret and evaluate a wide variety of written material

• Promotes research, critical thinking, and problem solving.

• Advances the development of clearly written material relevant to the intent.

• Enhances the use of appropriate language for the intended audience.

• Increases the competent, effective, and responsible use of information.

Civics Literacy Requirements

Students starting in the Florida College or University System in the 2021-2022 school year and thereafter must demonstrate competency in civics literacy by achieving a passing score on an assessment and by successfully completing a civics literacy course (AMH2020 or POS2041).

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 Guideline

All AA degree seeking students who are either registering for 12 or more credits or who have earned 12 or more credits should register for a math course each term until they have met their general education math requirements of 6 completed credit hours. This does not 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. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss their academic plan

Writing Intensive 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. 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 for 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 Learning Commons 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.

Construction and Technical Programs

Program Chair Rodney Thomas Program Advisor Tom Mason

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

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

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

For more information, call Tom Mason at 352-395-5362 or email tom.mason@sfcollege.edu. For information on High School Dual Enrollment, call the Dual Enrollment office at 352-395-5490.

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 except for carpentry, which is two years. Classroom activities in conjunction with on-the-job training prepare the students to perform as tradespersons upon completion. Students not currently employed in the field will be helped in seeking employment with sponsoring contractors. The program is sponsored by the Builders Association of North Central Florida. For more information, call Justin MacDougall at 352-395-5251 or email justin.a.macdougall@sfcollege.edu.

New trainees for all apprenticeship programs must first complete the core curriculum, which provides a basic introduction to construction skills and covers the following:

• Basic Safety (OSHA 10)

• Introduction to Construction Mathematics

• Introduction to Hand Tools

• Introduction to Power Tools

• Introduction to Blueprints

• Basic Riggings

• Material Handling

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. Call 352-395-5362 for more details on scholarships.

Respiratory Care, AS

Program Code: 3310

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

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

The Respiratory care Program at Santa Fe College (#200215) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www.coarc.com) to award an Associate in Science Degree in Respiratory Care at its Northwest Campus. Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care 264 Precision Blvd., Telford, TN, (817) 283-2835.

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

Surgical Technology, Certificate

Program Code: 7338

The Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a key member of the surgical team who anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges in an efficient manner during surgery. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST may be involved in holding retractors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the operative site, or cutting suture material.

The surgical technologist must perform under pressure in stressful and emergency situations; have a strong sense of responsibility, considerable patience, manual dexterity, and physical stamina. CSTs ensure that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound, suturing and other technical functions.

Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulatory care centers. There are also jobs in medical sales, product development, and management roles in surgical services and research. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons as "private scrubs" and/or surgical first assistants.

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

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/locations/kirkpatrick-center/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 healthcare team that provides advanced life support to save lives jeopardized by trauma, cardiac events, or other illnesses. Paramedics often make critical patient care decisions in situations where seconds and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Paramedics often are called upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, 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 a certification exam offered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians.

Prerequisites to the program are: Current Florida EMT Certification, completion of BSC-2085 Anatomy and Physiology with lab (or equivalent course and lab) with grades of "C" or higher," and American Heart Association healthcare 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).

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.
