History
Central Florida Junior College was established
in 1957 as a comprehensive, public, community
junior college serving the state of Florida and,
specifically, the counties of Citrus, Levy and Marion.
Instruction began in the fall of 1958 to a group of
320 students in temporary facilities at the Marion
County Vocational School. Central Florida Junior
College and Hampton Junior College merged on
July 1, 1966. Opened in the fall of 1958, Hampton
Junior College was one of the first black, two-year
colleges in the state.
To accurately reflect the character and purpose
of the college, its name was changed to Central
Florida Community College on July 1, 1971.
The Ocala Campus was established on a 60acre tract of land donated by the Atlantic Realty
and Investment Company and the City of Ocala.
The attractive, wooded complex is located on State
Road 200, west of downtown Ocala and east of
Interstate Highway 75.
In 1974, another 60-acre tract adjacent to the
western edge of the campus was added. In 1994, a
20-acre site adjacent to the southern edge of the
campus was obtained from the Marion County
School Board, and the CFCC Foundation, Inc.,
purchased a 17-acre tract immediately north of the
campus to provide a college residence facility
(College Square), and to allow for future expansion.
In 1995, renovation began on the vacated College
Park Elementary School on land adjoining the eastern side of the campus. Later that year, the Public
Service Division and Criminal Justice Institute were
moved to the newly-renovated buildings in 1996,
several Health Occupations Division programs, along
with college support operations, relocated to this site.
The CFCC University Center and the Ewers Century
Center opened in 2002; and the Enterprise Center
opened in 2004. (see map, page 286).
The Bronson Center in Levy County opened in
January 1982 on a 20-acre site a mile and a quarter
east of Bronson on Alternate U.S. Highway 27.
The Levy County Center was relocated in
November 1993 to Chiefland. See page 14 for
more information on the Levy County Center.
The Citrus County Campus opened in the fall
of 1984 at the Lecanto Joint Use Facility. A new
free-standing campus opened in the fall of 1996,
located on 88 acres in Lecanto in central Citrus
County. With continuing growth, the college is able to
offer a variety of courses to students in Citrus County
(see page 287 for location of the campus).
CFCC’s Hampton Center opened in 1996 at
the site of the former Florida State Fire College in
west Ocala, and was completely rebuilt and reopened
in 2004. See page 14 for more information on the
Hampton Center (location map on page 286).

the presidency from March 1, 1987, until February
11
16, 1996, succeeding Dr. Henry E. Goodlett, who in

ADMISSION
REQUIREMENTS
Access to higher education is a concept held in
high esteem at Central Florida Community College.
While emphasizing this concept, college officials
believe that students should view this access as
an opportunity carrying obligations which ensure
realization of their goals.
Admission for college credit studies is open to all
high school graduates. It is essential that each
applicant satisfactorily complete each phase of the
admission process. Most degree programs at CFCC
require an earned high school diploma or GED. Most
postsecondary certificate programs do not require a
high school diploma. A candidate for admission
is assured that the application will be reviewed
and evaluated in a fair and impartial manner. No
applicant will be refused admission on the basis of
race, age, ethnic background, religious preference,
disability, or gender.
In order to maintain the college ideals of scholarship and demeanor, the right is reserved to deny
admission to applicants for any reason which is
deemed to be in the best interest of the college.
After admission, subsequent registration for
currently enrolled and former students is permitted
when all college obligations have been satisfied.
When limited facilities or programs restrict the
size of enrollment, admission to the college will be
granted in the order in which applications have
been received by the Student Records office.
Exceptions to this rule, e.g. Associate in Science
Degree Nursing (ADN) and certain occupational
programs, are listed elsewhere in this catalog.
Guidelines for eligibility into various programs are
found within program descriptions in the catalog.
Additional admission information may be obtained
from the Student Records office.

obtain parent/student tax returns, affidavits,
employment records, bank accounts, etc.,
and at least one document of legal residency
dated at least 12 months before the first day
of classes of the term for which legal
residency is sought. (See previous list of
acceptable evidence.)
B. For dependent students, if dependent on a
Florida resident parent/legal guardian, obtain
from parent/legal guardian:
1. Proof of dependent status, and
2. At least one document of legal residency
pertaining to the parent/legal guardian
that is dated 12 months before the first
day of classes. (See previous list of
acceptable evidence.)
C. If dependent on out-of-state parent/legal
guardian, student may be reclassified only
under rare circumstances in which the
student’s age and general circumstances
warrant the reclassification (e.g., graduate
student, married, resided in Florida more
than five years). The advice of the Chief
Financial Aid Officer should be sought prior
to reclassifying a student who is dependent
on out-of-state parents.
K. Florida vehicle registration.
L. Florida driver license.
20
D. For students seeking reclassification under
an exceptional category, hard copy
documentation appropriate to the particular
category (e.g., marriage certificate, military
orders, teaching contract, etc.) is required.
Appeals
The Chief Financial Aid Officer will review appeals
regarding the reclassification and will convey to
the applicant the final residency determination and
the reasons.
ALL APPLICANTS
Application and Application Fee
All students must submit a completed application, along with a non-refundable, one-time $20
application fee.
SUBSTITUTIONS FOR ELIGIBLE
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Eligible students with disabilities may be provided
special considerations for reasonable substitution
for any requirement for admission to the institution,
admission to a program of study, or graduation.
Florida State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.041
authorizes reasonable substitution for these
requirements to any person who has a hearing
impairment, visual impairment or a specific learning
disorder. Substitutions will only be utilized in cases
where the person’s failure to meet the requirement
is related to the disability and where the failure
to meet the requirement does not constitute a
fundamental alteration in the nature of the program.
For procedures regarding substitutions contact
the Coordinator of Equal Access Services
(352) 854-2322 ext. 1580, TDD (352) 873-5854.
COLLEGE CREDIT DIVISION
All college credit students must be high school
graduates or GED recipients (a non-graduate of
high school who has satisfactorily completed tests
of general educational development), or qualified
Early Admission/Dual Enrollment students (see
pages 24–25).
Graduates of high schools that are not
regionally accredited may be accepted on a
probationary basis for the first 12 credit hours.
Students can be admitted to credit courses
at CFCC under one or more of the following
classifications.
Degree-seeking students can earn either the
Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.) or
Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.).
Non-degree applicants can pursue postsecondary vocational certificate, adult enrichment
or career exploration, teacher certification, renewal
or extension. Courses with a college prep prerequisite are closed to non-degree-seeking students.
Most college credit certificate-seeking students
pursue a one-year program of study.
Transfer students are those who have previously
registered at any other college, regardless of the
amount of time spent or credit earned. They can be
degree-seeking or non-degree-seeking. See special
requirements on pages 23–24.
Returning students are those who have previously applied and paid an application fee, whether
they attended or not. Although a new application
form may be required, there will be no application
fee. Students seeking to return to the ADN
(Associate in Science Degree Nursing) program
must follow procedures outlined. Veterans see
pages 45–46. Students who return to CFCC
who have not been continuously enrolled (defined
as earning one credit hour or more in one of
the three terms comprising an academic year)
will need to complete the program or academic
requirements of the current catalog in effect. Any
full- or part-time student has five calendar years
after he/she returns to complete degree requirements
under the catalog in effect when returning.
International students are those who are
residents of countries other than the United States.
They must be degree-seeking, full-time students
except in special situations where students are
required to obtain an I-20 from the institution.
International students see pages 22–23.
Regardless of which classification is appropriate,
the student is considered either full-time (enrolled
for 12 or more credits in a regular 16-week
semester) or part-time (enrolled for fewer than 12
credits in a regular 16-week semester). Also, a
student is considered to be a freshman if 29 or
fewer credit hours have been earned, or a
sophomore if more than 29 credit hours have
been earned.
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
See page 33 for information on preadmission testing.
21
AUDIT Students
A student may register during the Schedule
Change Period (see calendar) for a credit course on
a no-credit (audit) basis. An audit student cannot
change to credit status. Exceptions to the audit
policy require approval of the dean and will count
as an attempt. The audit policy is not applicable to
Health Occupations, Criminal Justice, Science Labs,
and college preparatory and dual enrollment
students. (see Forgiveness and Withdrawal policies,
page 64).
CHILD CARE Students
To comply with Florida state law, Chapter
402.3055, each prospective student must be
fingerprinted and undergo a criminal background
check, reference check and tuberculosis test. The
cost of these procedures is the responsibility of the
student. Information received is confidential and is
required to determine the prospective student’s
ability to work with children.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE Students
See pages 107 and 185.
DEGREE-SEEKING Students
Placement Testing: Degree-seeking applicants
to any university or community college in the Florida
state system must present placement test scores
taken within the last two years as part of the
application process. CFCC accepts any of the three
tests authorized by the state (ACT, SAT or CPT).
CPT is the official placement test for community
colleges in the state of Florida. CFCC regularly
offers CPT on its campus. Placement tests provide
information about the reading, English, and
mathematics skills that are required for success in
college. By assessing ability levels in these areas,
placement tests help determine the most appropriate
English, mathematics, and reading courses students
should take. Scoring below the required cut-off
score indicates the student is not ready for collegelevel work in the specific area. Florida requires
these students to complete non-credit college
preparatory course work prior to entering college
level work in the weak areas.
New degree-seeking students may not register
for classes unless CFCC has placement test scores
on file. CPT sample test question booklets and ACT
and SAT registration packets are available at
CFCC’s Ocala Campus Testing Center (Building 7,
Room 101), as well as at the Citrus County
Campus Counseling office.
Transcripts: Degree-seeking students must be
high school graduates or GED recipients and must
22
submit an official high school transcript or official
GED test scores. If the student is a college transfer
student, an official transcript from each college or
university previously attended must also be submitted
immediately.
INTERNATIONAL Students
CFCC is authorized by United States federal law
to enroll non-immigrant alien students, provided
they attend CFCC on a full-time basis. English
proficiency is required and all courses are taught in
the English language. CFCC offers a full-time
language program to teach English as a Second
Language (ESL). The courses can be found in
this catalog and are labeled EAP. We currently
offer courses to specifically improve a student’s
skills in grammar, listening and speaking and in
writing. All ESL courses involve weekly lab time
to reinforce skills learned.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION OFFICE
The International Education office on the Ocala
Campus is maintained to assist international
students in making the transition from their native
lands and educational systems to CFCC. The
staff will gladly assist students with immigration
regulations, health insurance, educational planning,
personal problems, and any other areas of concern.
THE ADMISSIONS POLICY
The applicant must apply for admission and
submit all required admission credentials to the
Student Records office no later than 90 days prior
to the first class day of the term in which he or she
seeks admission. There is a three (3) week
processing time. English language test scores
determine placement into college courses.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS APPLYING FOR
ADMISSION, COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING
Secondary school graduation: A foreign
student must have satisfactorily completed the
secondary school level, which would be required for
university admission in his/her own country.
1. Application and $50.00 non-refundable
application fee (U.S. dollars).
2. Transcripts and proof of graduation:
Certified high school diploma and certified
high school transcripts showing subjects and
grades earned must be provided in English.
Any translation fees are to be paid by the
student. Transcripts from any university outside
the U.S. may be provided if the student wants
to know if any of the credits will transfer to
CFCC. Before the university transcript can
be submitted, it should be sent to an agency
that evaluates foreign credentials. Please
contact the Student Records office if you are
interested in more information about this.
3. TOEFL score requirement: A TOEFL score
of 420 or above on the written test or 110 or
above on the computer test is required for
admission. Only students with scores of 500
or above on the written or 173 or above on
the computer test may enroll in “Academic”
or college credit courses. Students scoring
between 420 and 429 on the written (or
110-172 on the computer) will be required to
enroll in ESL (English as a Second Language)
courses first.
4. Financial security: Non-immigrant students
must provide evidence of financial responsibility and have sufficient funds to pay college
matriculation and tuition fees, textbook
costs, and living expenses. Financial aid is
not available to non-immigrants and
CFCC does not offer scholarships to international students. The Confidential Financial Statement and the Financial Support
Information form need to be completed.
Also, a bank letter must be included,
dated within the past three months.
All of this financial information must be
submitted before the student will be
considered for admission. A non-immigrant
student may not be employed while attending
college in the United States unless the
Immigration and Naturalization Service has
granted permission. When you request a
student packet of information, a Confidential
Financial Statement and a Financial Support
Information form will be included.
5. Health and Accident Insurance: International
students on F-1 or J-1 or M-1 visas must
provide proof of medical insurance in
advance of the intended term of enrollment or
secure insurance coverage through CFCC
upon arrival. This insurance coverage must
continue for the entire period of enrollment.
6. When a student is accepted for admission, a
letter of acceptance with a date for a mandatory
orientation and an I-20 will be sent.
The deadline for all required documents is 90
days before classes begin.
NON-DEGREE Applicants
Non-degree applicants are persons who wish to
take selected college courses without intending to
complete an associate degree program. Many
students attend to upgrade employment skills, for
career exploration, teacher recertification, audit, or
for personal objectives. A non-degree applicant
must submit a completed application and a onetime, non-refundable $20 application fee. Transient
students must submit a transient letter showing
good standing from the last institution attended prior
to registering. The transient letter must also list
those courses in which the student wishes to enroll.
A non-degree status student cannot be certified
for financial aid or veterans’ benefits. If a student
wishes to pursue a degree, he or she must contact
the Enrollment Services Center and indicate a
desire to be changed to a degree-seeking status.
Non-degree-seeking students will be allowed to
register for a maximum of nine semester hours
without participating in the placement testing
program and any subsequent college preparatory
instruction. Some courses are closed to non-degreeseeking students.
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
SUSPENDED Students
A student who has been placed on academic
suspension and is ineligible to return to CFCC or
the previous institution attended must file a petition
for admission to CFCC. The student must schedule
a return from suspension appointment with a
counselor or advisor. See page 43–44 for petitions
information.
TRANSFER Students
Transfer students must be eligible to return to
the last institution attended for admission to CFCC
through regular procedures. Those who have been
suspended from another institution or who have a
20 or more grade point deficit are required to file a
petition for admission (see page 43–44 for petitions
information). Students entering with a grade point
deficit of 1–19 will be on academic probation.
Students are strongly advised to have all (an
official copy from each institution) transcripts sent
to the Student Records office at the time they apply
to the college. A high school transcript or proof of
GED is also required. Failure to have all transcripts
on file will prohibit the student from registering the
following semester.
CFCC does not ordinarily accept transfer credits
from institutions not accredited by a regional
accrediting agency. However, each transcript will be
23
considered on an individual basis. The coursework
accepted must represent collegiate coursework
relevant to the degree, with course content and level
of instruction resulting in student competencies at
least equivalent to those of students enrolled in
CFCC’s degree programs. Students must submit
official high school transcripts to the Student Records
office, in a timely fashion prior to the end of their
first term of enrollment. Official transcripts from all
previously attended colleges and universities must
be received and evaluated prior to registration.
The Student Records office will evaluate these
transcripts and post all accepted transfer courses
to the student’s Web account. Any questions
regarding transcript evaluation must be resolved
with the Student Records office during the term in
which the transcripts are evaluated.
Transfer students who do not have transcripts
on file showing completion of college prep or college
level English and math will be required to take a
placement test. Students may be subject to
additional fees if the transcript evaluation indicates
that students had previously registered in a course
that they are now repeating.
In Associate in Science degree programs, only
courses applicable to the program are acceptable
for transfer. Students seeking the Associate in
Science degree who possess an Associate in Arts
or higher degree have already satisfied core
requirements as listed on page 49.
In Associate in Arts degree programs, all
academic work (1000- and 2000-level) transfers.
Upper division courses (3000- and 4000-level) do
not transfer. In cases where the content is the
same, the burden of proof is on the student to
provide official course outlines or descriptions.
Following evaluation of transcripts, the list of
transferred courses will be visible on the student’s
Web account. Any questions regarding the evaluation
must be resolved during the term in which the work
is evaluated by contacting the Student Records office.

work. CLEP, AP, or IB credits may not be applied
toward grade forgiveness. Students with official
transcripts of credit earned outside a regionally
accredited classroom, issued directly to the college
from the program in question, may be awarded up
to a maximum of 45 semester hours of credit.
Advanced Placement (AP)
It is the policy of Central Florida Community
College (CFCC) to grant college credit to a student
who presents a score of 3, 4 or 5 on one or more
of the advanced placement program examinations
of the College Entrance Examination Board. To be
eligible for credit, the examination must be taken
prior to enrollment in college.
AP credit granted by Central Florida Community
College may be transferable to participating Florida
institutions of higher education. It is the responsibility
of the student to contact the institution to which
he/she expects to transfer to determine the acceptability of this credit. CFCC follows the guidelines in
Florida State Board Rule 6A-10.024(8) for awarding
AP credits.
Dual Enrollment
The State Board of Education encourages
colleges and school boards to enter into agreements to offer college courses to selected high
school students who have exhausted their school’s
curriculum and qualify for dual enrollment status.
As provided for by current legislation, colleges may
waive the student’s application, tuition and applicable
fees. CFCC has such agreements with Citrus, Levy
and Marion public school districts. Students who
feel they might qualify for the dual enrollment
classes should discuss this possibility with their
high school counselors. High school students can
take dual enrollment courses on some high school
campuses and on the college campus.
Early Admission
Another acceleration opportunity exists in the
college’s early admission program designed for
students who have completed the 11th grade and
wish to attend the college as full-time students
(12 credits or more) during the high school senior
year. All dual enrollment and early admission
candidates must submit an application, appropriate
test scores (CPT, Companion, ACT, SAT), and a
letter of recommendation from the high school.
Once these materials are on file in the college
Student Records office, the application will be
evaluated and the student will be notified officially
of acceptance. Public and approved private school
students are exempt from the $20 application fee
and tuition.
International Baccalaureate Program
CFCC grants college credit to a student who
has received a diploma from the International
Baccalaureate program for higher-level and
subsidiary-level subjects with scores of 4 or above,
up to a maximum of 30 semester hours. For those
students who have the IB Certificate only, college
credit will be awarded for higher-level subjects with
scores of 5 or above. CFCC follows the guidelines
in Florida State Board Rule 6A-10.024(9) for
awarding IB credits.
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
Experiential Learning
The experiential learning assessment process is
designed to recognize the academic value of learning
through experiences including work experience,
employment-related training programs, seminars,
volunteer work, travel, military service or selfdirected study.
Assessment: Assessment involves the following:
• Written or performance tests.
• Preparation of a portfolio describing learning
and how it was acquired.
• Evaluation of certificates and licenses.
• Interviews with faculty members.
• Review of external agency recommendations.
The program area responsible for the courses
for which credit is requested determines the
method of assessment and the amount of credit
awarded. Not all courses are assessable courses.
Courses being assessed must be offered as a
requirement or an elective in an A.S. or A.A.S.
degree or certificate program at CFCC. General
education courses are not assessable.
Process: After being admitted to the college and
selecting a program with the help of a counselor or
advisor, the student must:
1. Meet with the appropriate program representative to determine if an assessment process
is available for selected courses.
2. Apply for assessment on forms available
from the department or student affairs.
3. Consult with the department, program manager
or designated faculty evaluator to determine
requirements for assessment and fees required.
4. Discuss student responsibilities in the
assessment process, including:
25
• Meeting with an instructor for an oral or
written exam
• Preparing for a written exam by reviewing
textbooks
• Arranging for an instructor to interview an
employer, as well as a work site visit
• Presenting certificates and licenses for
authentication
• Developing a portfolio of experience
• Providing ACE recommendations for
military training.
5. Pay necessary fees for assessment. It is
possible that academic credit will not be
awarded as requested, but the cost of
assessment remains the same.
Award of Credit: Depending on the amount of
credit requested and the methods of assessment
required, the assessment process time may vary.
When the process is completed, the results are forwarded to the appropriate dean for final review and
verification. The dean will request, by memo, that
the Executive Director of Student Records and
Financial Aid post any awarded credits to the
transcript. Credits awarded are held in escrow until
the student satisfactorily completes 25% of program
coursework (15 credits for the A.A.) at CFCC.
Experiential credit may not be used to meet the
residency requirement of 25% of program course
work required at CFCC for graduation.
This type of credit may not be acceptable for
transfer to other institutions. The receiving
institution would determine transferability.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Students may earn a maximum of 21 credit
hours from the following general examinations:
natural sciences, mathematics, humanities, social
sciences and history. Additional credits may be
earned through various subject examinations.
CLEP credit may not be used to satisfy any General
Education course that is also Gordon Rule
(regardless of degree program) except math. If a
CLEP exam is taken for one of these courses
(such as Psychology), students may use the credit
as elective credit only. CLEP will still be accepted
for math and science in the General Education areas.
Some colleges and universities do not allow credit
for this program. It is the responsibility of the student
to contact the institution to which he/she expects to
transfer to determine the acceptability of this credit.
CFCC follows the guidelines in Florida State Board
Rule 6A-10.024(7) for awarding CLEP credits.
26
Students receiving credit via CLEP for courses
which have Gordon Rule writing requirements
assigned to them as outlined in 6A-10:30, must fulfill
the writing requirement and may be required to take
additional courses.
When a student completes ENC 1102 with a
grade of “A” or “B,” the college will certify the
12,000-word requirement in the Communications
and Fine Arts Division toward the “Gordon Rule” to
that student awarded six hours’ CLEP credit in
English (general college composition or freshman
English). Students presenting CLEP exam scores to
CFCC are required to validate these credits by earning at least nine credit hours in residence at CFCC.
Any student who has satisfied CLEP requirements in mathematics and whose high school
transcript shows successful completion of higher
mathematics course work, including college algebra,
trigonometry, and calculus, shall exempt the mathematics requirement.
Below are acceptable test scores prior to June
30, 2002.

DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST)
The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are not built around
curriculum, but rather are designed to test students’ knowledge on a variety of college-level subjects,
regardless of where they may have learned the material. Exams are developed by committees of college
faculty. Norming forms of DSSTs are administered to college-level students who are completing courses for
credit in various subjects. All DANTES tests listed are accepted at Saint Leo University, some as elective
and some for specific class credit. Pre-approval must be obtained for CFCC credit via DANTES testing.
More information about DSSTs, including descriptions of test content and sample examination questions
is available at http://www.getcollegecredit.com/materials.htm.

departments where exams are provided. Students
may not apply for credit by departmental examination
in a course where they have received either an
“A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” “F,” “I” or “W” for work attempted, or

exam will be explained.
4. The student must take the approved
registration form and payment to the cashier.

Students requesting college credit for all or portions
of the Certified Professional Secretary examination
must meet college admission requirements. Prior
to being awarded any portion of the 18 credits
mentioned above, students must have earned at
least nine credit hours in residence at CFCC.
Servicemember’s Opportunity College
Students may benefit from the college’s special
efforts to aid servicemembers in securing a postsecondary education. The American Association
of Community Colleges has designated Central
Florida Community College as a Servicemember’s
Opportunity College (SOC). Aside from stated and
traditional means of obtaining credit toward most
associate degrees, the following special policies,
procedures, and services are available to activeduty servicemembers, the National Guard, reserves,
new recruits and veterans:
A. Certain credits may be earned by satisfactory
completion of College Level Examinations
(see CLEP, page 26).
B. Credit can be given through relevant validated
military service training, including military
service schools, United States Armed Forces
Institute (USAFI) courses, and acceptable
college-level GED test scores. The recommendation of the American Council on
Education Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services will
be used in evaluating military service training.
C. In recognition of the advanced academic
and technical content of many military
education experiences, CFCC will grant
credit for military education that has been
evaluated and recommended as suitable for
post-secondary credit by the American
Council on Education Guide to the Evaluation
of Educational Experiences in the Armed
Services. After enrollment in the college, a
student may initiate the request for such
credit by providing appropriate documentation
as determined by the college. Recommendations in the A.C.E. Guide are advisory in
nature and are not binding upon the college.
D. Students enrolling in occupational certificate
programs are eligible to satisfy up to 20 percent of the program’s competencies through
military service credit. The competencies will
be awarded after a student satisfactorily
completes eight weeks of instruction in the
appropriate occupational program. Transcripts should be submitted to the Student
Records office for evaluation.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
When submission of the required application
forms has been completed, the student will receive
a letter of acceptance and a notice of dates and
places for orientation and/or scheduling and
registration. Any changes in address, name, marital
status, residency or citizenship should be reported
promptly to the Enrollment Services Center.
REGISTRATION
Registration information, procedures and deadlines
for college credit, occupational, audit, and continuing
education students are published in the Web
registration guide and posted on college bulletin
boards and the Web site as appropriate. In the case
of courses beginning outside the regular academic
terms, posters, flyers, and media announcements
may be used to notify potential students. Each
student, by registering, pledges acceptance of the
rules and regulations of the college.
Online orientation is required for all degree-seeking
students before their first semester of enrollment or
after a five-year absence from the college.
First-time CFCC degree-seeking students
may not register without completing online
orientation. All students who have completed
advisement/orientation and are in good
standing may register online. See the current
Web registration guide for instructions.
Students may register for a maximum of 18
hours in fall and spring semesters, and 18 hours in
summer (nine hours in Summer-A term and nine in
Summer-B term). Non-degree-seeking and transient students register during General Registration.
Students may request permission to exceed the
maximum 18 hour registration limit through the
petitions process. A minimum cumulative grade
point average of 3.0 or above is required.
Schedule Change Period
Courses may be added or dropped only
during periods indicated in the college academic
calendar. Courses dropped at the student’s
initiative after the initial schedule change period
and before the official withdrawal date will be
recorded with the letter “W” on the student’s
permanent record, unless instructors have
previously dropped the student from class
rolls with “F” grades. Students enrolled in
courses that are not part of the college calendar,
as published in the catalog, should determine
drop deadlines through the college Student
Records office.

THE LEARNING THEME
AT CFCC
In 2002-03, Central Florida Community College
inaugurated an institution-wide learning theme,
Integrity: A Value of Community. The learning
theme study promotes connections among the
segments of the CFCC community-students, faculty,
staff, administration—and with the larger community
of which it is a part.
In exploring an annual theme, the college family
becomes more involved in the holistic nature of
learning, developing an awareness of “learning
across the curriculum” and experiencing first-hand
that knowledge and insight cross departmental
barriers. Involving students in a learning theme
also has the benefit of implementing many of the
Institutional Learning Outcomes including
Communication, Critical Thinking and Problem
Solving, Technical Skills, Math, Interpersonal Skills,
and Self-Direction. Students and staff read a book
in common and organize classroom and campus
events around questions related to the theme.
The themes for the first four years are based
on defining the four values in the college vision
statement—integrity, service, responsibility and
dignity—-and determining what these mean to the
CFCC learning community. “Service” was the

FOCUS: STUDENT
DEVELOPMENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Major College Directions: To provide accessible,
affordable, high quality learning opportunities which
meet students’ lifelong learning needs. To provide a
caring environment which supports learning and
development. To contribute to the cultural, social
and economic development of our communities.
To value our employees.
In response to these Major Directions, Central
Florida Community College has become a
student-centered learning institution that provides
opportunities for students to pursue lifelong learning
experiences.
Learning Outcomes
CFCC has identified six major student
development learning objectives and competencies
that describe the student development learning
outcomes for a CFCC graduate. These learning
outcomes can be applied in academic, employment,
social and community contexts and must be crafted
over a lifetime. These learning outcomes and
competencies enable students to set learning
goals and assess learning within and across
academic disciplines and the disciplines of human
inquiry and development.

The Endowed Chairs for Excellence
Program offers donors five distinct categories
to impact learning opportunities on our
campus. The first four categories begin with a
donor gift of $45,000, enabling us to apply for
state match. Earnings from these endowments
honor outstanding faculty, bring speakers and
exhibits to the campus, and provide curriculum,
classroom and other resource materials for
our students and faculty. The fifth category is
a New Initiative Endowment and begins with a
donor gift of $18,000, also enabling us to
apply for state match. The earnings help
develop new courses, programs and services to
provide the best possible learning environment
for our students. Donors may participate in the
naming and selecting criteria. We are pleased
to honor our donors for creating the following

HEPATITIS B/MENINGITIS
AWARENESS
Florida law now requires that a post-secondary
institution shall provide detailed information
concerning the risks associated with meningococcal
meningitis and hepatitis B and the availability,
effectiveness, and known contraindications of any
required or recommended vaccine to every student,
or to the student’s parent if the student is a minor,
who has been accepted for admission. Meningitis
is a serious disease that affects the brain and spinal
cord. Because bacterial meningitis is a grave illness
and can rapidly progress to death, it requires early
diagnosis and treatment. This is often difficult
because the symptoms closely resemble those of
the flu and the highest incidence of meningitis occurs
during late winter and early spring (flu season).
When not fatal, bacterial meningitis can lead to
permanent disabilities such as hearing loss, brain
damage, or loss of limbs. Hepatitis B is a serious
infectious disease caused by a virus that attacks
the liver. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause
life-long infection that leads to cirrhosis (scarring) of
the liver, liver cancer, or liver failure. There is no
cure for hepatitis B, but the infection can be prevented by vaccination. Each year, about 200,000
people are infected with the virus and 5,000 die.
Although there have been no reported cases of
meningitis or hepatitis B at our college in recent
years, we are taking the proactive step towards
informing and protecting our students.
HOUSING
Convenient housing is provided adjacent to the
Ocala Campus through the CFCC Foundation, Inc.
College Square, a 48-unit, 192-bedroom student
residence center, is directly across from the Ocala
Campus on Airport Road. Inquiries may be made
by contacting the on-site housing office or the
Enrollment Services Center in Bryant Union Building
(5). College-sponsored housing is unusual among
community colleges, but the CFCC administration
believes that a quality residential environment can
add a positive dimension to student educational and
personal development.
I.D. CARDS
All credit students are entitled to photo
identification cards that allow attendance at campus
activities, use of the Learning Resources Center,
and the Learning Support Center. Photo I.D. cards
are required when selling textbooks back to the
bookstore. Ocala Campus students should report to
the campus Public Safety office to have a photograph
taken and a card made. Citrus County Campus
students should report to the Welcome Center to
have a card made. Hours are Monday–Friday,
8:30–11 a.m., and 1:00–2:30 p.m. on Wednesday
and Thursday. Levy County Center students should
inquire at the center business office for information
on photo scheduling.
LOST AND FOUND
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Lost and found items are stored in the Public
Safety office at the Ocala Campus, the Welcome
Center at the Citrus Campus, and the lobby at Levy
Center. Items will be held for sixty (60) days after
the beginning of the semester following the semester
in which the item was received. Sixty (60) days after
the start of each semester (fall, spring, and summer
A/B), unclaimed items will be donated or discarded
as appropriate. To reclaim an item, the party claiming
ownership must provide a picture ID and properly
identify the item.
PARKING
Traffic and parking regulations have been
established to maximize safety and parking
convenience. All vehicles brought on campus by
students or employees must be properly registered
with the Public Safety Department. This can be
accomplished at the Public Safety building on the
Ocala Campus and at the Enrollment Services
Center on the Citrus County Campus. A copy of the
regulations and information on available parking
areas is provided. All vehicles parked on campus
without a current parking decal or special parking
permit properly displayed will be ticketed, booted or
towed at the owner’s risk and expense. See page
70 for information on fines and penalties for violation
of traffic and parking regulations.
PETITIONS,
GRIEVANCES and
ACADEMIC REVIEW
In cases of unusual circumstances where
specific regulations do not seem to be in the best
interest of a student’s academic program, provision
for review has been established through a faculty
committee on student petitions. This committee has
the authority to review matters pertaining to
academic progress and to recommend exceptions
concerning any academic regulation if such
43
exception seems to be in the best interest of the
student and of the college.
Petition forms pertinent to academic progress
and/or academic regulations are available in the
Enrollment Services Center on both the Ocala and
Citrus County campuses and the administrative office
at the Levy County Center. These forms are to be
used by any student who, after discussion with the
assigned advisor or counselor, believes that special
circumstances govern the situation.
The college has established and published in
the FOCUS, a policy for hearing and settling of
student grievances. Any student who feels he or
she has been discriminated against on the basis of
gender, race, color, religion, age, marital status,
or disability in the application of any policy or
procedure of Central Florida Community College
should contact the office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs to file a letter of grievance.
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY
OBSERVANCE
In compliance with federal, state and District
Board of Trustees rules, which provide that there
shall be no discrimination in the treatment of
students and employees on the basis of religion,
the college makes reasonable accommodation for
religious observance. Such accommodation shall
apply to admissions, registration, class attendance
and activities, scheduling of examinations and
official ceremonies, and work assignments.
SEXUAL PREDATORS
ON CAMPUS
Federal and State law requires a person
designated as a “sexual predator or offender” to
register with the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE).
The FDLE then is required to notify the local law
enforcement agency where the registrant resides,
attends or is employed by an institution of higher
learning.
Information regarding sexual predators or
offenders attending or employed by an institution
of higher learning may be obtained from the local
law enforcement agency with jurisdiction for the
particular campus or by calling FDLE hotline
(1-888-FL-PREDATOR) or (1-888-357-7332),
or by visiting the FDLE Web site at
www.fdle.state.fl.us/sexual_predators
44
STUDENT PRIVACY
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
passed in 1974 by the United States Congress
relates to accessibility and confidentiality of student
records. Provisions of the act classify the following
as ‘‘directory information’’ that will be released to
the general public upon request, unless the student
has specifically requested that some or all of the
information not be released: name, address, date
of birth, major field of study, participation in officiallyorganized activities and sports, weight and height
of athletic team members, dates of attendance,
degrees and awards received, and most recent
previous educational institution attended.
A student must submit to the Student
Records office a written notice stating which of
the above items is not to be released to the
general public. All other information not listed above
that relates directly to the student cannot be
released without the student’s written permission.
Under the law, access to student records without
the student’s permission is granted under the
following circumstances: to teachers, administrators
and the like in the same institution; to other
institutions in which the student intends to enroll;
to the Comptroller General of the United States;
in connection with a student’s application for, or
receipt of, financial aid; to organizations such as
Educational Testing Service or the College Entrance
Examination Board involved in testing programs
and student aid; to accrediting organizations; in
compliance with judicial order or pursuant to any
lawfully-issued subpoena. Students are notified by
registered mail prior to records being released
through the action of any lawfully-issued subpoena
duces tecum.
The Executive Director of Student Records and
Financial Aid can provide additional information on
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(Buckley Amendment).
TRANSCRIPTS
Students must make written requests and pay
a $3.00 transcript fee to have official transcripts
issued by the college. Requests should be made at
the Enrollment Services offices, Ocala or Citrus
Campuses. Mailed requests are also honored. The
transcript request form may be downloaded from
www.GoCFCC.com.
VETERANS
INFORMATION
Students who are using their VA education
benefits for the first time must activate their
benefits with the VA. For quickest processing,
it is recommended that veterans and/or
dependents apply using the VONAPP Web site at
www.gibill.va.gov. Hard copies of VA education
benefit applications may also be downloaded from
this Web site. Note: According to the VA regional
processing office, the processing of the hard copy
application will delay the receipt of benefits by
approximately 2-3 months. We strongly suggest
utilization of the online application form.
Computers are available for use in the Enrollment
Services Center on each campus. Students may
also pick up a VA Certification instruction sheet
and a Veteran’s Handbook in the Enrollment
Services Center. These documents provide
detailed step-by-step instructions for application
and use of Veteran’s educational benefits.
Note: Allow a minimum of six to eight weeks for
the VA application or any paperwork to be processed
by the VA regional office from the time the
paperwork is submitted by the veteran to the VA
regional office.
Each chapter 30 or 1606 (active duty or
reserve) veteran must also submit a copy of his/her
DD-214 discharge papers to the Records office to
have HLP 1081 credits posted to his/her official
CFCC transcript. By agreement between CFCC
and the Veteran’s Administration, each chapter 30,
31 and 1606 veteran will receive 4.0 hours of HLP
1081 Personal Wellness credit with a grade of S.
NOTE: Because of this agreement, Chapter 30,
31 and 1606 students should NOT register for
HLP 1081 because it is not covered by the
Montgomery GI Bill VA benefits. 4000 Gordon
rule words will not be credited to HLP 1081
hours with a grade of S.
Chapter 35 (spouse/dependent) students are
eligible to enroll in HLP 1081 at CFCC and this
course is approved only for use by Chapter 35
VA benefit recipients.
Students who have previously used their
benefits at another institution must file a VA
Change of Program or Place of Training form
prior to certification. These may be obtained in
the Enrollment Services Center and should be
returned to the Enrollment Services Center prior to
enrollment certification.
After submission of the VA benefit application, it
generally takes 60–90 days processing time by the
VA regional office before a benefit check is received.
Important: Completion of the enrollment
certification process requires approval of
courses by a counselor or advisor. Veterans
and/or dependents will not be certified without
a counseling appointment to approve their
schedule each term.
Deferments
In accordance with Florida law and college
policy, any eligible veteran or dependent wishing to
pursue an approved program within the parameters
of Chapter 30, 35, or 1606 will have upon request,
60 days after the first day of classes to pay
registration fees. During summer terms, the
deadline for payment of VA deferred fees will be 10
days before the last day of scheduled classes.
Only ONE fee deferment per academic year is
allowed. VA students are responsible for payment
of all deferred fees by the due date regardless of
whether or not they have received benefits from
the VA.
Under Public Law 94.502, veterans cannot be
certified to the VA by CFCC in any program in
which Chapter 30 and Chapter 35 VA recipients
comprise more than 85 percent of the enrollment in
the program. Chapter 35 VA students are included
in the 85:15 percent ratio computation; however,
they can be certified to the VA in any approved
program, regardless of the percentage of veterans
in that program.
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Standards of Progress
The concept of unsatisfactory progress includes
those VA students not progressing at a rate that
will permit graduation within the approved length of
the course, based on the time paid for by the VA.
This provision may be waived if there is a VA finding
of mitigating or extenuating circumstances. Students
placed on VA probation for unsatisfactory progress
will be so notified, in writing, by the college Veterans
Affairs office. If, after one term or its equivalent, the
student fails to achieve satisfactory progress, VA
education benefits will be terminated. The college
notifies both the student and the VA regional office
in Atlanta when this occurs. Once a VA student is
dismissed for unsatisfactory progress, he or she
cannot receive further educational benefits from
the VA until approved by the school and VA.
45
Grades
The VA prohibits payment of educational benefits for a course in which a student receives a
non-punitive grade (“W,” “I,” “N” or “X”), and these
grades cannot be used in computing graduation
requirements. This includes any course from
which the student withdraws, unless there is a
VA finding of mitigating circumstances that
caused the withdrawal. Mitigating circumstances
can be considered if the student can demonstrate
good faith in pursuit of the course up to the point of
withdrawal or completion and if the student submits
evidence that he or she applied for tutorial aid and
consulted a counselor in an attempt to remedy the
unsatisfactory work before withdrawal or completion.
Only classes that apply to the degree or program will be certified to the VA. Minimum training
time requirements for veterans are listed below:
Note: All VA students are required to present
their registration forms (class schedules) to the
CFCC Enrollment Services Center before they can
be certified to the VA regional office for educational
benefits. These schedules must be signed by a
counselor or advisor. It is necessary to schedule
an appointment with the Student Advising
Department, in advance, for this process to
be completed.

Reminder: Any enrollment break of 30 or more

Unsatisfactory Attendance in
Vocational Programs
VA students in vocational programs will be
monitored on a monthly basis for attendance. The
VA will be notified of unsatisfactory attendance at
the point during a term that a vocational veteran
student accumulates three unexcused absences.
The veteran student may not be recertified for
veteran benefits until 30 days of satisfactory
attendance (no more than two unexcused absences
in the 30-day period) has elapsed. Any non-college
degree veteran student who is terminated from
receiving VA educational benefits will be notified in
writing by CFCC.

participants in a dynamic learning community. The
college promotes positive changes in the way
students approach problems, make judgments,
communicate ideas, interact with others, accept
responsibility for their actions, and dedicate their
efforts to the service of others. Growth in these
cognitive, affective, and ethical abilities is measured
by success in the following institutional learning
outcomes: critical thinking and problem solving,
self-direction, interpersonal skills, communications,
mathematics, and computer and information skills.

(For students planning to transfer to a four-year
institution after completing two years at CFCC)
Since August 1, 1989, universities in the state of
Florida have required that all undergraduate transfer students admitted have two high school
academic units in a single foreign language or
the equivalent. The equivalent is interpreted as
8–10 semester hours of the same foreign language
taken at college level.
In addition to the General Education common
core requirements noted previously, Associate in
Arts (A.A.) students must:
F. To satisfy SBE Rule 6A-10.30 (the ‘‘Gordon
Rule’’), complete six semester credit hours
of mathematics at the level of College
Algebra–MAC 1105 or Liberal Arts Mathematics–MGF 1106 or higher. This rule is met
when students complete, with a grade of “C”
or better, six or more hours from the courses listed in the mathematics section of the
General Education Course Requirements.
A. Complete at least 60 credit hours, all of
which must be transferable academic work
exclusive of occupational courses and wellness/fitness courses, unless required in program. (15 credits General Education Common
Core, 21 or 22 credits General Education
Requirements, 24 credits General Education
electives). Note: A.A. degree seeking students
who plan to transfer to a four-year institution
should be aware that a “D” grade may not
transfer to the institution of their choice.
B. Achieve a grade point average of at least
2.0 (“C”) in all college work and at CFCC.
C. Complete at least 15 semester hours in
residence at CFCC (minimum 25% of

as college-level credits earned.
Students wishing to take the computer
competency proficiency exam may contact
the ACT Center in the Ewers Century Center,
Room 106D.
H. Complete 24 hours of elective courses,
which include the required prerequisites for
majors at the university. See Enrollment
Services for articulation sheets for each
University. Elective courses should be
determined by the the student’s major and
the requirements of the four-year institution
to which the student plans to transfer. It is
recommended that the student complete
eight semester hours in a foreign language,
American Sign Language, or appropriate
CLEP exam, if the student has not completed
two years of the same foreign language in
high school. Students seeking admission to
the Florida State University System must
have completed two years of foreign language
at the high school level or two courses (eight
credit hours) at the college level. Students
enrolled in foreign language courses at
CFCC must earn a grade of “C” or better
before advancing to the next level.
Note: American Sign Language may satisfy the
entrance requirement, but not the exit requirement,
for most universities. Check with Enrollment
Services to determine acceptability for the college
you plan to attend.
Education Majors*
Students planning to major in education in the
State University System must complete, as a prerequisite for admission, ACT or SAT and three
education courses:
EDF 2005–Introduction to Education

College Preparatory Program
The college preparatory program is oriented
toward individual differences in students, rather
than to academic conformity to the subject matter.
It was developed on the premise that the student in
this program needs simultaneous assistance in
basic academic skills (reading, mathematics,
grammar and composition), personal enrichment,
and adjustment to self and society. The program
provides this assistance through college preparatory
courses drawn from the areas of English, reading,
and mathematics, as well as through individualized
workshops in counseling and communications.
College preparatory students are assigned college
preparatory classes as indicated by placement
scores. The three areas of college preparatory
instruction are mathematics, English (writing), and
reading. Students who are assigned college prep
instruction may take a limited number of collegelevel courses in each curriculum area as follows:
A. A student assigned to college prep
mathematics may not register for any
college-level mathematics course until the
college prep requirement in mathematics is
successfully completed. Additionally, no
course with a mathematics prerequisite or
corequisite may be taken.
B. A student assigned to college prep English
or reading may not register for college-level
English (ENC 1101, Freshman Composition
Skills I) until the college prep requirement
has been successfully completed. In addition,
no course which has ENC 1101 as a prerequisite or corequisite may be taken.
C. A student assigned to college prep reading
may not take any college-level reading
course or ENC 1101 until the college prep
requirement has been successfully completed.
In addition, no course which has ENC 1101
as a prerequisite or corequisite may be taken.
D. ENC 0001C and ENC 0010C (college prep
English) and REA 0001C and REA 0002C
(college prep reading) form the second or
advanced level in the ESL (English as a
Second Language) program. A student
participating in the ESL program may not
take college level courses, except as noted
in item B above.
All students required to enroll in a college
preparatory course may elect to seek an alternative
source for remedial instruction. The alternatives
may include but not be limited to a private provider,
Continuing Education, or the Learning Support
Center.
Any student who tests into any college
preparatory course or who selects an alternative
method of instruction is encouraged to begin
enrolling immediately in the college preparatory
coursework and maintain continuous enrollment in
college preparatory coursework until all college
preparatory requirements have been satisfied.
Once a student completes 12 credit hours of
college level coursework, the student will then be
permitted to enroll only in college preparatory
coursework until all prep requirements have
been satisfied.
Students should enroll in at least one college
preparatory course in their first term. A student
may take other appropriate college-level courses in
addition to college preparatory courses if a student
chooses to do so. However, all college preparatory
courses must be completed prior to enrolling in
more than 12 hours of college-level courses.
Failure to comply with this rule will affect a
student’s ability to enroll in college-level courses
and may affect a student’s financial aid award.
Students enrolled in a college preparatory
course may take the common placement test
(CPT) once every 30 days, after the completion of
their current term of enrollment or at any time
between terms. Students who attain scores that
qualify for entry into regular college credit courses
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
57
will be allowed to register for such courses their
subsequent term of enrollment at CFCC.
Students are required to present passing scores
on a common placement test to show that basic
computation and/or communication skills have
been met.
State law, House Bill 1545, requires CFCC to
charge full cost of instruction on the third attempt
of a college preparatory course taken at CFCC,
since fall 1997, in English, reading, or mathematics.
However, due to financial hardship and/or extenuating
circumstances, a student may be able to qualify for
an exception to the increased fee. An exception
based on extenuating circumstances may be used
only once for each course.
College Preparatory Courses
College preparatory courses do not meet the
General Education requirements and are nontransferable electives. They cannot be used to
meet the 60 hour graduation requirement. College
credit is not given for these courses. Students must
continually enroll in required preparatory courses
until all requirements are completed.

Associate in Arts
Transfer Guarantees
Community college Associate in Arts graduates
are guaranteed certain rights under the statewide
articulation agreement (Rule 6A-10.024). The
articulation agreement governs the transfer of
students from Florida public community colleges
into the State University System. The agreement
addresses GENERAL ADMISSION to the State
58
University System and PROGRAM ADMISSION
to selected programs at a university.
General Admission
Guarantees:
The articulation agreement designates the
Associate in Arts degree as the transfer degree.
In doing so, the agreement guarantees that:
A. Community college A.A. degree holders will
be granted admission to a university within
the State University System, but not necessarily to the university or program of choice.
B. Upon transferring to a state university, A.A.
degree graduates will be awarded 60 credit
hours toward the baccalaureate degree.
C. Generally, the university catalog in effect the
year the A.A. degree student first enrolled at
the community college will remain in effect
for the student’s entire program, provided
the student maintains continuous enrollment
as defined in that catalog and completes the
program within the university’s specified time
frame. Note: Certain changes in law may
affect the catalog.
D. Once a student has completed the general
education requirements and this is so noted
on the transcript, regardless of whether an
A.A. degree is awarded, no other state
university or community college to which the
student may transfer can require additional
courses to the general education requirements.
E. 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.
F. Credits earned through articulated acceleration mechanisms, such as dual
enrollment, International Baccalaureate,
early admission, advanced placement, and
credit by examination, that are earned within
the A.A. degree at the community college,
will be transferable to the state university.
Students without an A.A. degree who are seeking
admission to a state university do not have all the
protection provided by the articulation agreement
and may be denied admission or lose credit when
transferring. In most cases, students without an
A.A. degree will have to meet freshman admissions
standards.
Program Admission
Admission Appeals
General
The universities determine the courses and
prerequisites that must be taken in order to receive
a baccalaureate degree for a chosen program.
Although all credit earned toward an A.A. degree
will transfer to a university, not all credit may satisfy
the program prerequisites or the course requirements
for a baccalaureate degree. Therefore, it is important
to know the program requirements and to take as
many of these courses as possible at the community
college while completing the A.A. degree.
If a student is accepted into a university, but is
denied admission to a program, the university must
state the reasons for the denial. This is usually
done in a letter from the dean of the college,
school or department. Any request for further
clarification should include:
Limited Access
Because of demand or limited resources, most
of the universities have programs that are called
limited access programs. Admission to limited
access programs is granted on a competitive basis.
Consequently, limited access programs have
additional admission requirements that are more
restrictive than the universities’ general admission
requirements. These requirements include one
or more of the following: minimum grade point
averages, test scores, prerequisite courses, auditions
and portfolios.
Guarantees
Neither Associate in Arts graduates nor native
university students are guaranteed admission to
limited access programs. However, the articulation
agreement does provide certain guarantees,
including that:
A. The community college student will have
the same opportunity to enroll in a university
limited access program as the native
university student.
B. Selection and enrollment criteria for a
university limited access program must be
established and published in catalogs,
counseling manuals, and other appropriate
publications. Changes in program enrollment
criteria must be given with sufficient advance
notice for prospective students to adjust their
programs to meet the new criteria.
Should any of these guarantees be denied, the
student has the right to file an appeal. Each state
university and community college has established
appeal procedures. These procedures must be
published in the university catalog. As a general
rule, if a student is denied admission to a university
or a program at the university and wants to appeal,
the appeal must be initiated at the university
admissions office.
A. A copy of the letter of denial.
B. A copy of the student’s transcripts.
C. A copy of the page(s) from the counseling
manual or catalog outlining the program
requirements.
D. A signed statement requesting a review of
the denial.
Students should keep a copy of all correspondence
and a log of all telephone contacts. A copy of all of
the above information should be forwarded to the
university admissions office and the university
articulation officer.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
Articulation Officers
The university articulation officer is responsible
for assisting the community college student seeking
admission to a university. If assistance is needed
with an appeal request or if it appears that a
department is not complying with the statewide
articulation agreement, the university articulation
officer should be contacted. Articulation officers at
the community colleges are also responsible for
assisting in the transfer of students to universities
and can advise students in the interpretation of
the articulation agreement and appealing an
admissions decision.
Appealing to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee
If the denial is upheld at the university level and
there is still a question of potential violation of the
articulation agreement, the student may request
a hearing before the Articulation Coordinating
Committee (Florida Education Center, Tallahassee,
Florida, 32399-0400). All of the avenues available
to the student at the institutional level should be
pursued prior to appealing to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee. The student should keep
a copy of all correspondence and a log of all
telephone contacts. The procedures for filing such
an appeal with the Articulation Coordinating
Committee are as follows:
A. The student submits a statement of the
problem, a copy of the letter of denial from the
59
university, a copy of the transcript in question,
a copy of the page(s) from the catalog or
counseling manual, and a request to have a
hearing before the Articulation Coordinating
Committee for purposes of adjudication.
B. All student appeals and policy concerns
are reviewed by the Articulation Appeals
Subcommittee, which then forwards its
recommendation(s) to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee. Issues not resolved
by the subcommittee are sent to the full
committee for resolution.
C. The Articulation Coordinating Committee
and Articulation Appeals Subcommittee may
request the appearance of representatives
or statements from the receiving or sending
institution to provide additional information
or clarification on the issue.
D. A decision letter on the disposition of an
appeal is written by the chair of the
Articulation Coordinating Committee to the
division deans, and copies are simultaneously sent to all persons involved, including
the student. The decision of the Articulation
Coordinating Committee shall be final.
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE
AND ASSOCIATE OF
APPLIED SCIENCE
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
In addition to common core requirements noted
on page 49, Associate in Science (A.S.) degree
students must:
A. Complete the specified number of hours of
credit in an approved course of study as
outlined for the program.
B. Achieve a cumulative grade point average of
at least 2.0 (“C”).
C. Complete at least 25 percent of semester
hours in residence at CFCC and attend
during the semester the degree is earned.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
A student’s standing at Central Florida
Community 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
60
must earn the grade points necessary to maintain
a 2.0 (“C”) cumulative grade point average while
at CFCC.
Grade Point Deficit
A grade point deficit is the difference between
the grade points needed for a “C” average and the
grade points earned on hours attempted. The
following examples demonstrate this concept.
It should be noted that a student can go from a
position of good standing to academic warning,
probation, or suspension within one term.

A “C” average (equal to 2 grade points per credit hour)
must be maintained to remain in good standing. Total
credits attempted, multiplied by 2, will establish the minimum number of grade points needed. From the grade
record listed above on 12 credit hours, 12 x 2 (for a “C”
average) = 24 grade points. Since 30 grade points were
earned, this student is in good standing.

This student earned 11 grade points in the second
term. Added to the 30 points from the first term, the student has earned 41 grade points. For the 27 credit hours
attempted (12 + 15 = 27), the student would need 54
grade points (27 x 2) to maintain a “C” average. Therefore,
this student has a 13 grade point deficit (54 - 41 = 13) and
will be placed on academic probation.
Academic Warning, Probation
and Suspension
Students with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA
shall be placed on academic warning if they have
a grade point deficit of nine or less.
Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be
placed on academic probation if they have a
grade point deficit of 10 or more but less than 20.
These students must schedule an appointment
with an advisor or counselor for advisement and
registration.
Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or
more shall be suspended for a minimum of one
full semester and then must petition the college
for readmittance. Call the Student Advising
department for assistance.
Academic Dismissal
Students returning after suspension will be
on probation. Any student who is suspended a
subsequent time will be dismissed from the college.
Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to
the college for a minimum of one full calendar year.
The student may then petition the college for possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent
upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate
promise of successful performance.
Students returning from suspension or dismissal
who earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or above will not
be suspended for that particular term, even though
they may have an overall deficit of more than 20
grade points. Their performance shows promise
and, if continued, will result in good academic
standing. Under these circumstances, such a
student will continue on academic probation.
Transferring to CFCC with
Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by these
standards of progress, using the same criteria
used for non-transfer students. Transfer students
entering with deficit grade points will be assigned
to the appropriate category, e.g., academic warning
or probation. They will return to good standing
when sufficient grade points have been earned to
achieve a “C” average.
Earning Credit While Suspended
A student while under suspension from another
institution may not enroll at CFCC, and a student
while under suspension from CFCC may not earn
credits toward a degree from this institution by taking
courses at another institution.
Standards of Progress Summary
Academic Warning . . . . . . . . . . . . .1–9 grade point deficit
Academic Probation . . . . . . . . . .10–19 grade point deficit
Academic Suspension . . . . .20 or more grade point deficit
Provisions for Appeal
Any student who feels there were extraordinary
circumstances that led to a 20 or more grade point
deficit may appeal his or her suspension status to the
Student Petitions and Academic Review Committee.
A student (credit, occupational or audit) who
withdraws from all classes must begin official
withdrawal procedures by contacting a counselor or
advisor. The college calendar gives specific deadlines for withdrawing from college without penalty.
OCCUPATIONAL
CERTIFICATE STUDENTS
A student’s academic standing is determined
by the same method as outlined in the section
under College Credit Division. Program instructors
may authorize a student to re-enroll for one
additional term if the student is suspended after
only one term. Failure to achieve satisfactory
progress during the term of re-enrollment will
result in permanent suspension.
VETERANS
See section on Veterans, pages 45–46, for
specific information.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
Regular, punctual class attendance is the
responsibility of every student who enrolls at
Central Florida Community College. Likewise, the
institution is committed to enforcing the attendance
policy in an effort to assist students in achieving
their educational objectives. The documentation of
student absences will begin the first class day,
regardless of when the student registers. When a
student has a legitimate reason for being absent,
the instructor has the option of permitting the
student to make up work missed and may require
an explanation for absence.
The college reserves the right to evaluate
individual cases of non-attendance. In general,
students are graded on the basis of intellectual
effort and performance. Class participation is a
significant measure of performance, and nonattendance can adversely affect a student’s grade.
Attendance at authorized off-campus student
activities (such as student organization meetings or
athletic events) is permitted to count toward class
attendance or approved absence on the instructor’s
class records. Students must give advance notice
of the intended absence, within guidelines set
by the individual instructor, in order to have the
opportunity to prepare assignments and make up
or avoid missing tests. Faculty members are
expected to establish non-punitive policies toward
attendance at such college-sponsored, off-campus
student activities such as student organization
meetings or athletic events.
If conflicts exist between a student’s regularlyscheduled class and another activity (including the
requirements of other classes), the student’s
61
regularly-scheduled class should receive priority.
Instructors understand that students may be given
extra credit for such events, but no student will be
penalized for non-attendance.
If a student accumulates so many absences
that further enrollment in a course appears to be
of little value, the instructor has the right to drop
the student from the course.
Students enrolled in occupational certificate
programs are permitted two unexcused absences
within any attendance month. Students who exceed
this number of unexcused absences may be placed
on probation and, if additional unexcused absences
occur, dropped from the program. The instructor
determines whether or not an absence is excused,
considering such factors as sickness, accidents and
other contingencies beyond the control of the student.
Students enrolling in certain technical programs,
e.g., nursing, criminal justice, and cosmetology, are
expected to meet specific guidelines.
COLLEGE LEVEL
ACADEMIC SKILLS TEST
(CLAST)
The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
measures the following skill areas: essay writing,
mathematics, English language skills and reading.
CFCC expects all A.A. degree students to take
CLAST as soon as they have earned 18 semester
credit hours (excluding any college prep courses),
and have completed ENC 1101, any college level
math course higher than MAT 1033 (see page 56).
CFCC also makes CLAST available for A.S. degree
students who plan eventually to transfer to a
university in the Florida state system.
CLAST is offered three times a year—in the fall,
winter, and summer terms—on the Ocala and
Citrus County campuses. Required pre-registrations
may be done by calling the Testing Center at the
Ocala campus or the Counseling Office at the
Citrus campus.
There is a one-time $25 charge for first-time
takers and CLAST exemptions. CLAST is offered
three times annually: the first Saturday in October
(unless that is a holiday, in which case the test will
be given the last Saturday in September), the third
Saturday in February, and the first Saturday in June.
Registration closes at 4:30 p.m. Friday, four weeks
prior to the test. Registration information appears
throughout the year on CFCC bulletin boards. CLAST
dates scheduled as the catalog went to press were:
62
Registration Deadline . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Test Date
May 6, 2005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .June 4, 2005

January 20, 2006 . . . . . . . . . . . .February 18, 2006
All CLAST-takers are required to present two
forms of identification, one of which must have a
photo. Also, students must bring their CLAST
admission ticket, Social Security number, two
ballpoint pens, and two sharpened No. 2 pencils.
Free sample booklets are available in the Testing
Center, Building 7, Room 100, Ocala Campus, and
the Welcome Center at the Citrus County Campus.
Approximate test time is five hours, including 70
minutes’ administration time. Students may retest
as often as necessary, but must meet regular
registration deadlines. Only students who failed one
or more subtests may retest. Students may retake
only the subtests they failed. CFCC students
needing to retake the mathematics, English language
skills, and/or reading subtests may now use the
CAT-CLAST (Computer Assisted Testing) in the
college’s Testing Center, Building 7, Room 101.
Essay retesting is available only on regular CLAST
dates. The college does not grant retesting requests
until students have satisfied an approved review
process. Students receive twice the original amount
of time for any subtests they retake.
Note: Beginning January 1, 1996, any student
fulfilling one or more of the listed requirements
before completing his or her Associate in Arts
degree or a baccalaureate degree may exempt
from the CLAST. Education Majors may not exempt.

Students registered in college prep courses who
receive “N” grades must repeat the same course
and complete it with a grade of “C” or better, or
achieve a passing score on the CPT before they
can register for other courses.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
Students are responsible for computing their
own GPA. The grade report should be carefully
checked, and, if discrepancies exist, the office of
Student Records should be notified immediately.
To determine GPA, compute the total number of
grade points earned and divide by the total number
of credit hours attempted. Example:
Course

HUM 1021

FINAL GRADES
Final grade reports are available on the Web at
the end of each term. Only grades issued at the
end of a term are placed on a student’s permanent
63
record. Final grade reports include a cumulative
grade point average.
GRADE APPEAL POLICY
A grade awarded in a course at the college is
based on the instructor’s professional judgment
about the degree to which students achieve the
learning objectives for the course. If a student
believes a grade has been awarded in error, or
unfairly, the student will first discuss the matter with
the instructor.
In the event the matter cannot be resolved
between the student and the instructor, the student
may discuss the matter with the instructor’s
supervisor, who will try to resolve the issue. If a
resolution cannot be reached at that level, the
student may discuss the matter with the Chief
Academic officer. The Chief Academic Officer will
review the matter and determine if the student’s
concern is sufficient to warrant a full review. If
further review is warranted, a Grade Appeal
Committee (3 faculty and 2 students) will be
appointed by the President to consider the matter.
The committee will make a recommendation to the
Chief Academic Officer. The decision of the Chief
Academic Officer shall be final.
FORGIVENESS POLICY
The forgiveness policy permits a student to
repeat a course in an attempt to improve a grade of
“D” or “F” earned in the course. Only the last grade
earned in a repeated course will be computed into
the student’s grade point average (GPA). On the
transcript a “T” shows the initial attempt and an “R”
indicates the last attempt. The student will be limited
to three attempts (two repeats) per course, with a
grade being given for the third attempt. Withdrawals
and audits count as attempts after drop/add.
Withdrawals will not be used to increase GPA.
A. The student will be limited to repeats of
courses where “D” and “F” grades were
earned.
B. The student will be limited to two repeats
per course.
C. If the student plans to transfer to another
institution, he or she must check with that
institution regarding acceptance of
“forgiveness” courses in the computation
of the student’s GPA.
64
D. The student should check with the
Financial Aid office about the possible
consequences of repeating a course in
regard to financial aid.
E. The third attempt of any course is charged
at the full cost of instruction.
WITHDRAWAL
A. The student can withdraw from any course
by “midpoint” in the semester. Withdrawals
after that date will be granted only through
established institutional procedures. (Check
the appropriate dates in the college calendar
in the front of this catalog.)
B. The student will be permitted a maximum of
three attempts (including attempts made
under the forgiveness policy) per course.
Upon the third attempt, the student will not
be allowed to withdraw, but will instead
receive a grade for that course.
GRADUATION
Graduation Requirements
Students should be aware of the graduation
requirements. These include the core curriculum,
payment of all fees, and any work required in
special programs. It is the student’s responsibility to
determine the courses necessary for transfer to
any upper division college or university and to
meet any prerequisite courses required by those
upper division programs. Students must see an
advisor/counselor for a graduation check.
A. File an application for graduation with the
Enrollment Services Center before the
published deadline and pay the one-time,
non-refundable graduation fee.
B. Fulfill all obligations, financial and other, to
the college.
C. All graduates are encouraged to attend the
graduation ceremony.
D. For subsequent graduations, prospective
graduates must still apply to graduate,
though no additional graduation fee is required.
E. The CLAST measures achievement in
communication and mathematics skills at
the level of college sophomores. It includes
four subtests: essay writing, English
language skills, reading and mathematics.
Students seeking the Associate in Arts
degree must pass all four subtests or be
exempted in order to receive the degree or
to be admitted to upper division status at a
university in the state system.
HONORS PROGRAMS
Honors courses are offered currently in the
following areas of study: communications, science/
technology, social sciences and humanities, as well
as the Leadership Development course and a onecredit Honors Colloquium.
HONORS
RECOGNITION
The President’s List and the Dean’s List
recognize students for outstanding scholastic
work. These lists are produced at the end of each
term—fall semester, spring semester, and
summer semester. Students who carried 12 or
more credit hours of academic work, excluding
college prep hours, or 12 vocational credits, and
attained a grade point average of 4.0 for the
semester will be placed on the President’s List.
Students who carried 12 or more credit hours of
academic work, excluding college prep credit
hours, or 12 vocational credits, and attained a
grade point average of 3.3 for the semester, with
no grade lower than a “C,” will be placed on the
Dean’s List. Students meeting these
requirements in a combination of both summer
terms will be eligible for these honors.
Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor
society. Psi Beta is a national psychology honor
society. Sigma Delta Mu is a national Spanish
honor society. Contacts for information are
described in the Student Handbook Focus.
Graduates who have earned a 3.5 overall GPA
in all work taken at CFCC and an overall 3.5 GPA
on all college work attempted will be graduated
with honors. Honor graduates are recognized at
graduation ceremonies and have the notation
‘‘Graduated with Honors’’ on their permanent records.
COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS
The Community of Scholars, CFCC’s honors
program, offers exceptionally able students the
challenge and opportunity to enhance their academic
talents and careers. Through its curriculum of
enriched studies, the Community of Scholars
emphasizes three goals: to recognize excellence in
scholarship, to reward distinguished achievement,
and to direct intellectual curiosity toward continued
accomplishment.
The Community of Scholars focuses attention
on these areas of study: language and literature,
humanities, history, science and technology.
These honors seminars are currently offered:
AML 2012–Honors American Literature
CGS 1162–Honors Computers in Society
ENL 2000–Honors English Literature I
HUM 1021H–Honors Introduction to the
Humanities
HUM 2310H–Honors Mythological Symbolism in
Art, Philosophy and Religion
HUM 2532H–Honors Western Ideologies
ISC 1004–Integrated Natural Sciences: Honors
REL 2300H–Honors Comparative Religions
WOH 1012H–Honors World Civilizations I
WOH 1022H–Honors World Civilizations II
In addition, SLS 2261–Leadership Development
is required for all “Track I” participants.
All highly-motivated students who plan to work
toward an Associate in Arts degree from CFCC
should seek admission to the Community of
Scholars program. The following guidelines are
used to identify those students who should benefit
most from enriched studies in the honors program.
It should be noted, however, that no single criterion
in the following list is absolute: i.e., a SAT score of
1050 might prove acceptable for a student with
demonstrated successes in other areas.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
A. A composite score of 25 on the ACT or a
total of 1,100 on the SAT.
B. A high school grade point average of at
least 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale) or ranking in the
top 10 percent of their graduating class or a
minimum 3.3 grade point average at CFCC.
C. Outstanding scores on CFCC placement
tests, such as the ACT, SAT and/or CPT.
D. Demonstration of special talents or abilities
through portfolios, projects, papers, awards,
auditions, etc.
The Community of Scholars issues formal
invitations to graduating high school seniors meeting selective admission requirements. The two-year
program requires completion of 18 credit hours in
honors courses while maintaining a minimum
cumulative grade point average of 3.3 Scholarships
for four terms are awarded to as many as 30
selected students yearly.
65
Since 1990, the Community of Scholars program
has also invited outstanding CFCC scholars into a
second track, designed to include students who
did not come to CFCC directly from high school.
These students must earn a minimum of 12 honors
credits. “Track 2” students may become eligible
for partial tuition scholarships after their first term
in the program. For more information on the
Community of Scholars, contact the Director of
the Honors Institute.

FEES AND REFUNDS
College fees and tuition assessments are based
on the applicant’s residence. Fees may be paid
by cash, check, money order or credit card and
must be paid on or before the dates indicated on
the student’s schedule, which is 10 business days
from the date of registration. Exceptions include
special courses with registration and payment
dates to be established by the Executive Director
of Student Records and Financial Aid, veteran fee
deferments and Florida National Guard fee waivers.
Students who have submitted a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or are eligible for
Bright Futures may have their tuition and fees
deferred at the time of registration. However, if
financial aid is denied or the award does not cover
a student’s financial obligation, the student will
be responsible for payment of the outstanding
obligation. All debts incurred due to denial or
insufficient coverage must be satisfied no later
than 60 days after the start of the term.
Student financial responsibilities include library
fines and obligations, traffic fines, returned checks,
student loan repayment, and return of borrowed
college equipment. Unless all fees and financial
responsibilities have been satisfied, a student may
not register for a subsequent term and, in some
cases, the student may be prohibited from attending
classes in the current term. Additionally, official
student transcripts will not be released until all
obligations have been satisfied.
The student fees listed on this page are in
effect at the date of printing of this catalog.
They are subject to change by action of the
Florida Legislature and the college District
Board of Trustees. Each term the college will
have available, prior to registration a listing of
current student fees.
Returned checks must be paid within seven (7)
days from receipt of the notice. The full amount of
the returned check plus a service charge of $20.00
or an amount up to five percent of the face amount
of the check, whichever is greater, will be due.
If the returned check is not paid within the time
specified, it will be given to the State Attorney’s
office for collection.
Note: See Web registration guide each term for
update on fees.
State law, House Bill 1545, requires CFCC to
charge full cost of instruction for a student to
repeat, for the third time, a college preparatory
course in English, reading, or mathematics. However,
due to financial hardship and/or extenuating
circumstances, a student may be able to qualify for
an exception to the increased fee. An exception
based on extenuating circumstances may be used
only once for each course.

The President is authorized to approve fees for
continuing workforce education programs, recreation
and lifelong learning programs on a course-bycourse basis. For continuing workforce education
courses, the President will establish fees that equal
at least 50% of the total annual cost of the supplemental vocational program. The fees for recreation
and lifelong learning programs will generate at
least the direct cost of instruction. The President
will annually report to the District Board of Trustees
the amount of fees collected and the accumulated
cost of the respective programs.

Refund Policy (CFCC)
For credit and vocational education classes,
petitions for refunds and withdrawal from the
college are available in the offices of Admissions,
Counseling, the Vice President for Student Affairs,
and the Citrus County Campus Enrollment
Services Office. It is the student’s responsibility to
initiate official withdrawal, and the official date of
withdrawal will be determined by the date the
completed form is returned to the office of the
Vice President for Student Affairs. Regardless of
when the refund is applied for, no refund will be
processed before 30 days have elapsed from
the date of the refund form, or two weeks after
the end of the Add/Drop Date, whichever is the
greater time period.
Credit, occupational and audit students
who officially withdraw and complete a proper
refund petition through the office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs will receive refunds
according to the following schedule:
100 percent: When official drop notification is
received and approved prior to the end of the
published drop/add period.
Up to 100 percent: The refund will be affected
by the portion of the term completed. When a
student drops a course due to circumstances
determined by the college to be exceptional and
beyond the control of the student, which may
include but not be limited to:
A. Illness of the student of such severity or
duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude completion of the course(s).
B. Death of the student or the student’s parent,
spouse, child or sibling.
C. Involuntary call to active military duty.
D. A situation where the college is in error.
E. A change of a course or section(s) initiated
by the college because of cancellation, time
or location.
F. Other circumstances that may be approved
upon timely filing with complete documentation with the division of Student Affairs.
78
For continuing education and corporate training
classes, students must request a refund by the
second scheduled class meeting to receive a full
refund. The refund request must be made in writing.
No refund is available after the second class meeting,
or for non-credit workshops, seminars or clinics.
Pro-Rata Refunds
Campus-based programs will be refunded
using pro-rated formula to comply with federal
regulations defined in Reauthorization of the
Higher Education Act.
Withdrawals and Repayment
of Title IV Funds
When a student who receives a net disbursement of Title IV funds ceases attendance prior to
the 60 percent point in the payment period, CFCC
will determine whether the student must repay a
portion of the net disbursement. A statutory prorata schedule will be used to determine the percentage of Title IV funds the student has earned at
the time of withdrawal. Federal Work Study funds
are excluded in the calculation.
If a student withdraws after completing at least
60 percent of the term, it is assumed that the
student’s living expenses up to the time of withdrawal
exceeded the amount of the funds disbursed and
the student does not owe a repayment. However, if
the disbursement was greater than the student’s
expenses up to the withdrawal date, the student
must repay the excess amount or a portion of the
excess amount as applicable.
The percentage formula is: total number of
calendar days completed in the payment period
divided by the total number of calendar days in the
payment period equals the percentage of Title IV
funds earned.
The institution must return the lesser of the
amount of Title IV funds that the student does not
earn or the amount of institutional charges (tuition
and fees) that the student incurred for the payment
period multiplied by the percentage of funds that
was not earned.
The student (or parent, if a Federal Direct PLUS
loan) must return or repay the remaining unearned
Title IV program grant or loan funds. The student’s
grant repayment is reduced by half when he or she,
rather than the institution, must return grant funds.
CFCC will notify the student, in writing, of the
amount owed, procedure for repayment and
consequences of non-payment within the allotted
time frame.
Order of return of Title IV funds. Unearned
funds returned by the school or student are credited
to outstanding Title IV loan balances for the student
or made on the student’s behalf. Funds must be
credited to outstanding balances in the following order:
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan
Subsidized Federal Direct Loan
Federal Direct PLUS Loan
Remaining funds. If excess funds remain after
repaying all outstanding loan amounts, then the
remaining amount is credited to grant programs in
the following order:
Federal Pell grant
Federal SEOG
Other Title IV assistance
Detailed information on repayments is available
in the Financial Aid office.
FINANCIAL AID
The primary purpose of the financial aid program at Central Florida Community College is to
provide assistance to students who do not have
sufficient resources to meet the cost of attending
school. Aid is awarded on the basis of the student’s
financial need and should be viewed as a supplement to the financial efforts of the student and the
student’s family.
To be given full consideration, financial aid
applications should be filed prior to May 1 of each
calendar year for the following academic year;
however, students may apply as early as January.
Student consumer information and all application
forms are available in the Enrollment Services Center,
as well as at the Citrus County Campus and Levy
County Center. All applicants must also be accepted
for admission and have all required documents on
file in the Student Records office (diplomas, GED
certificates, academic transcripts).
No application will be processed until all required
documents and information are in the student’s
folder. The following forms are the primary ones
that are required for the processing of each financial
aid application:
A. Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA): The FAFSA or renewal FAFSA
supplies the basis for determining a student’s
need for financial assistance. Students
should list CFCC as the college of first
choice (Code 001471). The FAFSA may be
transmitted electronically by using FAFSA on
the Web (apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov).
B. Student Aid Report (SAR): This is the eligibility document for the Federal Pell Grant
program and should be received by the
student one to four weeks after the FAFSA or
Renewal FAFSA is submitted. The student
should retain the SAR for his or her records.
C. Financial Aid Transcript (FAT): Information
will be collected via the National Student
Loan Data System. However, if there are
discrepancies, a transcript will be requested
by CFCC. The student may need to follow up
with the prior school if the requested information
is not received in a timely manner.
D. Other Documents: Students selected for
verification are required to submit additional
documents as requested by the Financial
Aid office.
Students must apply for financial assistance each
calendar year for the next academic year. Financial
aid awards are based on the availability of funds at
the institution, the enrollment status of the student
(priority is given to students enrolled full time), the
student’s financial need for the appropriate year, and
whether or not the student is meeting the Standards
of Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid
Recipients at Central Florida Community College.
(A copy of the Standards of Satisfactory Academic
Progress is available in the Enrollment Services
Center). Students who are enrolled in a vocational
program and do not have a high school diploma or
GED and who are applying for federal or state
financial assistance must pass the College Placement
Test (CPT). For detailed information, contact the
Enrollment Services Center in Ocala, or the
Financial Aid office.

that students maintain satisfactory academic
progress in order to receive financial assistance.
Standards of satisfactory academic progress at

three components:
A. Financial aid recipients must maintain a
minimum cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 2.0 in all courses attempted.
FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
B. Financial aid recipients must successfully
complete 67 percent of all college courses
attempted, regardless of when and where the
courses were taken and whether financial
assistance was received or not. Successful
completion of a course is defined as having
earned a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “S.”
C. Financial aid recipients must complete their
degree or certificate within 96 attempted
credit hours.
Financial aid recipients are evaluated once at the
beginning of each academic year or at the time the
financial assistance is awarded, whichever is later.
Students enrolled in a vocational or certificate
program will be evaluated at the end of each
semester during the academic year.
Financial Aid Suspension
Failure to meet the standards of academic
progress may result in a financial aid recipient
being placed on financial aid suspension.
Financial aid applicants on financial aid
suspension will not be allowed to receive federal or
state financial assistance until they have returned
to satisfactory academic progress.
81
Students on financial aid suspension may
continue to enroll and attend classes so long as
tuition and all other charges are paid.
Students are responsible for requesting reinstatement to financial aid eligibility once they have
again attained satisfactory academic progress.
Any student placed on financial aid suspension
has the right to appeal the suspension. To appeal:
A. Complete the appeal form located in the
Enrollment Services Center. Appeals must be
submitted within 30 days of the suspension
notice.
B. Appeals will be granted for extenuating
circumstances only: the death of a close
relative of the student, an injury or illness of
the student or close family member, or other
special circumstances that affect the student’s
academic performance.
The Financial Aid office will notify each student,
in writing, of the decision. Students notified of
decisions in their favor are placed on financial aid
probation for one semester. At the end of the
semester, upon request, students’ academic
records are reviewed and students are returned to
satisfactory progress or placed on financial aid
suspension. The financial aid suspension will
remain in place for appeals that are not granted.
Students may appeal the decision of the
Executive Director of Student Records and Financial
Aid by submitting a written request to the Vice
President for Student Affairs.
Students on financial aid appeal status are

Associate in Arts Degree
The Associate in Arts degree is designed primarily to meet the requirements for a student to
transfer to the upper division of a college or
university to continue work toward a bachelor’s
degree. Students should also be aware of the
various, specific requirements for the Associate in
Arts degree imposed by state regulations and/or
law. These requirements include courses that
develop reading, writing and computational skills,
the exit test requirement (College Level Academic
Skills Test), and, in some instances, a foreign
language requirement. These requirements are
listed on pages 52–55 of this catalog. Also see
CLAST, pages 62–63. See the Student Advising
Department for articulation sheets.
All majors are open to students who qualify
legally and academically. In some cases,
experience has shown that a student should
have additional qualifications, or that some
students should not enter certain majors. An
example of a limiting factor for students entering
into the Teacher Education field is a conviction
of a felony, pursuant to FL Statute 1012.32(2)(d).
See page 50 for additional information.

COURSE
DESCRIPTIONS
197
Courses in this catalog are listed in alpha-numeric
order. Following is a list of the courses usually
offered. The college reserves the right to determine
minimum enrollments in all courses. The term
“credit” as used in references to courses is equal to
one semester hour. Further, it means credit toward a
degree from CFCC and not necessarily credit
transferable to another institution.
COURSE CLASSIFICATION
All credit courses offered by CFCC are designated
in one of the following classifications:
“Gordon Rule” classes are marked G-4000 or
G-6000 and with ✒ in the course description.
College preparatory courses do not count
toward either an A.A. or an A.S. degree and
receive institutional credit only. They may be
used in calculating full-time status for athletic team
participation, financial aid and veterans benefits.
Occupational courses may not count toward
the A.A. degree. They count in full toward the
appropriate A.S. degree.
Parallel courses count toward the A.A.
degree and should transfer readily to any college
or university.
Dual courses count toward the A.A. degree
as part of the 60 hours only if they are appropriate
for the student’s major. Students should consult
with a counselor prior to enrolling in a designated
dual course.
Students are cautioned against taking excessive
electives or courses out of their major field of study
at the expense of required prerequisites.
FLORIDA’S STATEWIDE
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Courses in this catalog are identified by
prefixes and numbers that were assigned by
Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System.
This numbering system is used by all public
postsecondary institutions in Florida and by 32
participating non-public institutions. The major
purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of
courses between participating institutions.

Sociology,
General
Level Code
(first digit)
1
Freshman level
at this
institution
Century Digit
(second digit)
0
Entry-level
General
Sociology
Terms courses are offered:
198
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 meaning in the Statewide Course
Numbering System (SCNS). The list of course
prefixes and numbers, along with their generic titles,
is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” (See the
example at the bottom of the page.)
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 the participating institutions
that offer the course, with a few exceptions.
(Exceptions are listed below.)
For example, a survey course in social problems
is offered by 31 different postsecondary institutions.
Each institution uses “SYG _010” to identify its
social problems course. The level code is the first
digit and represents the year in which students
normally take the course at a specific institution. In
the SCNS taxonomy, “SYG” means “Sociology,
General,” the century digit “0” represents “EntryLevel General Sociology,” the decade digit “1”
represents “Survey Course,” and the unit digit “0”
represents “Social Problems.”
In science and other areas, a “C” or “L” after the
course number is known as a lab indicator. The “C”
represents a combined lecture and laboratory
course that meets in the same place at the same
time. The “L” represents a laboratory course or the
laboratory part of a course, having the same prefix
and course number without a lab indicator, which
meets at a different time or place.

W = Winter

S = Summer
Transfer of any successfully completed course
from one institution to another is guaranteed in
cases where the course to be transferred is
equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution.
Equivalencies are established by the same prefix
and last three digits and comparable faculty
credentials at both institutions. For example, SYG
1010 is offered at a community college. The same
course is offered at a state university as SYG 2010.
A student who has successfully complete SYG 1010
at the community college is guaranteed to receive
transfer credit for SYG 2010 at the state university if
the student transfers. The student cannot be
required to take SYG 2010 again since SYG 1010 is
equivalent to SYG 2010. 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 which have not
been designated as equivalent.
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for
a major division of an academic discipline, subject
matter area, or sub-category of knowledge. The
prefix is not intended to identify the department in
which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a
course determines the assigned prefix used 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
The following courses are exceptions to the
general rule for course equivalencies and may not
be transferable. Transferability is at the discretion of
the receiving institution:
A. Courses in the 900–999 series (e.g., ART
2905).
B. Internships, practical, clinical experiences,
and study abroad courses.
C. Performance or studio courses in Art,
Dance, Theater and Music.
D. Skills courses in Criminal Justice.
E. Graduate courses.
F. Courses not offered by the receiving
institution.
College preparatory and vocational preparatory
courses may not be used to meet degree
requirements and are not transferable.
Questions about the Statewide Course
Numbering System and appeals regarding course
credit transfer decisions should be directed to:
