Moore Multicultural Center
(Welcome Center • Cocoa Campus • Bldg. #11)
The Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Center for Multicultural Activities commemorates the lives and work of
the Moores, African-American community leaders and
activists who were assassinated in Mims, Florida, in
1951. Harry T. Moore’s life and work exemplified the
"courage to challenge" an oppressive system and served
as a model for Civil Rights leaders who followed.
Since its inauguration in August 1996 on BCC’s
Cocoa Campus, the mission of the Moore Center has been
to improve race relations and human relations through
education, dialogue, and interaction – by creating and
sustaining a greater awareness and appreciation for the
contributions of all races, cultures, and religions
represented in American society.
The Moore Center will continue to build relationships
with other departments to provide services for students,
staff, faculty, and the community in fulfilling its mission
to promote diversity inside and outside the classroom
through co-curricular events. One of the Center’s primary
goals is to provide students opportunities to develop the
cultural competence that is vital to good citizenship in an
increasingly diverse society.
16 – FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
Among the activities of the Moore Center are campuscommunity dialogue groups; workshops for students,
staff, and faculty; and cultural celebrations.
We encourage you to join the Moore Center in its
work, attend our activities, and get to know your
neighbors on campus and in the community. For more
information, contact the Moore Multicultural Center, (321)
632-1111, ext. 63352.
Flexible Scheduling
Brevard Community College recognizes that many
students have family, work and personal commitments that
make on-campus attendance difficult or impossible. BCC’s
courses and programs are designed to assist students in
attaining their academic, personal, and career goals.
Through innovative programs, state-of-the-art resources,
and community involvement, Brevard Community College
maintains its focus on student achievement and success.
In responding to the needs of students who are
interested in non-traditional access to classes and in
expanded approaches to education, BCC has developed
distance learning programs, the “weekend college,” and
other learning opportunities.
Distance Learning Programs
through BCC’s Virtual Campus
BCC uses Blackboard course management software in
Online, Teleweb and Hybrid courses. Blackboard is also
used as a supplement in many on-campus classes.
Teleweb Courses
These courses combine televised lessons, related
reading assignments, on-campus review opportunities,
and minimal on-campus sessions for orientation, discussion, and examinations. Most telecourse instructors have
online classrooms for delivery of information. Telecourses
are broadcast on WBCC TV, UHF Channel 68, Wireless
Broadcast Services (WBS) Channel 21 and Time Warner
Cable Channel 5. Check with your cable company for
availability of WBCC TV. Tapes of these programs are
available for viewing in all BCC libraries. Offerings
vary from term to term and are listed in current
class schedules.
Hybrid Courses
Hybrid courses combine online interaction with
on-campus instruction. These courses meet one or two
days per week in the classroom and the remaining
instructional time and class participation takes place in
an online classroom.
BCC
Academic Policies
Scholarship and Grading
Grading Policies
BCC uses a 4.00 grading scale. Students are awarded
letter grades for course work attempted.
Used in GPA computation are:
A Excellent .................................................4 points
B Good .......................................................3 points
C Satisfactory ..............................................2 points
*D Poor ......................................................1 point
F Failure .....................................................0 points
*A “D” grade earned in English, math, humanities, or social or
behavioral science course work will not satisfy general education
requirements for the AA and some AS Degree programs and will be
counted only as elective credit.
Not used in GPA computation are:
AU ..................………………………………………Audit
I ................……………………………………Incomplete
N ............………Progressed but did not achieve course
objectives. Student must re-enroll.
S ................…………………………………..Satisfactory
U ................……………………………….Unsatisfactory
W ................………………………………... Withdrawal
The following letter grades have special requirements:
AU: Awarded to a student who enrolls in a credit class for
enrichment but not for credit and requests the audit
status in writing. Student must pay the regular
fees and meet appropriate course prerequisite
requirements. No credit is earned. To change
enrollment from credit to audit or audit to credit, a
student must contact the Admissions and Records
Office before the established deadline. Vocational and
college preparatory courses may not be audited.
Note: Financial Aid and Veteran students will not receive
benefits for audit classes.
I: An "I" grade is assigned when the student and the
instructor reach a mutual agreement that the student has
a reasonable chance of successful completion of the
coursework within the time frame prescribed by College
policy. A grade of "I" is not computed in a student's GPA.
BCC policy requires that an "I" grade must be completed
by the end of the next major term or the "I" reverts to an
"F" (summer terms are not considered in this time limit).
An "I" received in the term of graduation will be
calculated as a "F" grade for purposes of computing the
student's GPA for graduation. An "I" cannot be assigned
to a course if the student fails to attend the course, drops
the course, or withdraws from the course. A student who
registers for a course but fails to meet the course
requirements, without officially dropping or withdrawing
from the course, will receive a grade of "F" in the course.
Note: Students who receive Pell Grants must arrange for grade
change within three weeks of the beginning of the following term.
Students who receive an “I” grade in the term they apply to graduate
have three weeks from the end of the term to have the grade changed
to be able to graduate in that term. After that time, students must
reapply for graduation and pay the reapplication fee.
N: Awarded when students have made satisfactory progress
on work attempted, but have not achieved all course
objectives. N grades are awarded only in college
preparatory courses. To earn credit for the class, reenrollment is required.
Note: The “N” grade can be repeated for VA benefits. Veteran
students who receive an “N” grade in a college preparatory class
will be required to repay all benefits unless mitigating
circumstances are determined as excusable by the Department of
Veterans’ Affairs. Students who complete a college preparatory
class or certificate course before the end of the term will have
their benefits reduced accordingly. The instructor will notify the
VA Office by memorandum of the date course was completed.
W: Assigned if a student officially withdraws by the
established deadline in the Schedule of Classes or the
college administratively withdraws the student for
reasons such as non-compliance of rules or extenuating
circumstances. The student will be permitted a
maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon the third
attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw
and will receive a grade for that course.
See Maximum Attempts Per Course, page 29.
Graduation
The College holds two commencement ceremonies for
graduating students: a Spring ceremony in May and a
Summer/Fall ceremony in December. Students who
complete their requirements for graduation during the
summer will continue to be “officially” graduated in August
and the degree or certificate awarded. There will be no
negative impact on a student’s ability to transfer with degree.
All students who complete degree requirements during the
summer are invited to “walk” in the Summer/Fall
commencement ceremony.
Students who are ready to graduate must submit an
Intent to Graduate Application by the prescribed application
deadline during the term in which they plan to graduate. The
application deadline date is published each term in the
Schedule of Classes and is on the Calendar of Events, pages
6-7 of this catalog. A late fee will be assessed for
applications submitted after the deadline. The application
ACADEMIC POLICIES – 27
form must be completed and signed by the student and a
student advisor, who will verify that the student has
completed all degree requirements.
A graduation fee of $20 per degree (or $10 re-application
fee) must accompany the application. Students who
meet all degree requirements but do not apply for graduation
will be automatically graduated through the academic action
process and their degree posted to their transcript. They will
be notified by letter of their eligibility and be given a
deadline to request their graduation not be processed, if they
are continuing coursework. Students who are automatically
graduated will not be issued a diploma until they apply and
pay the $20 fee. See Graduation Fee, page 48.
rigors of traditional classes. Honors Program students
enjoy an environment of scholarly challenge, creative
interaction, and intellectual stimulation through special
sections of general education and elective courses.

Note: An ‘‘F’’ or "I" in any course precludes a student from being
listed on the Dean’s, Honors, or President’s list.
Additionally, students must be recommended for
admission by a high school teacher or guidance counselor,
or by a BCC advisor or faculty member (or faculty from
another college, in the case of transfer students).

For more information or for an application, call the Honors
Program Director at (321) 632-1111, extension, 32850.
Grade Change
All grade changes must be initiated by the instructor,
and approved by the appropriate Department Chair and
Campus President. If the instructor is no longer a member
of the faculty, the Department Chair may initiate the
grade change. Changes must be submitted on a Grade
Change Form. Students who do not agree with an
instructor’s final grade decision must file an academic
appeal through the campus Dean of Educational Services.
Grade changes are processed on the campus where
the course was taken. Grade changes or alterations to the
student’s academic record cannot be made after a
student has graduated.
Grade Forgiveness Policy
Forgiveness Policy per state rule 6A.14.0301:
A course in which a grade of “D” or “F” has been
earned can be repeated up to a maximum of two times for
grade forgiveness purposes. All grades will remain on the
student’s official transcript. The original grade will be
marked with a “T” to indicate that the course has been
repeated, and the repeat course will be marked with an
“R” on the student’s transcripts. The original grade will
always appear on the transcript, but only the repeated
course grade will be calculated into the GPA. A course in
which a satisfactory grade of “A”,”B”, or “C” has been
earned may not be repeated for grade forgiveness or
gpa purposes. No course may be repeated for grade
forgiveness purposes after graduation.
Students may attempt a course only three times
(including original grades, repeat grades, and
withdrawals). Through the academic appeals process,
students with extenuating circumstances may petition for
a fourth attempt. To begin the academic appeals process,
students must contact the appropriate Dean of
Educational Services. All grades from the third attempt,
and any subsequent attempts, will be included when
student’s grade point average is calculated.
This policy went into effect in the Fall of 1997.
Courses taken prior to that term may be forgiven and do
not count in the maximum total attempts.
Note: It is the student’s responsibility to notify the
Admissions Office that a course was repeated for grade
forgiveness purposes.
Maximum Attempts Per Course
Students may withdraw without academic penalty
from any course by the established deadline as follows:
1. A student can have only three attempts per course
including the original grade, repeat grades, and all
withdrawals. A fourth attempt can be allowed only
through an academic appeals process, based on
documented extenuating circumstances and approved
by the campus Dean of Educational Services.
All grades from the third and subsequent attempts will
be calculated in the grade point average. In addition,
students will be assessed full cost of instruction for the
course. Courses taken at institutions other than BCC will
not be counted in determining repeat charges. Students
who want to pursue an appeal should consult an advisor.
2. Some types of financial aid do not cover repeat course
attempts. Students should check with the Financial Aid
Office to determine status.
3. A course can be counted only once toward meeting
graduation requirements, except where permitted by a
course description.
4. Attempts “counted” start with courses taken beginning
Fall of 1997.
Note for AA Degree students: Some senior institutions
count all hours attempted and all quality points earned.
Note for VA Students: VA benefits may not be received for
repeat courses assigned a “D” grade unless a grade of
“C” or higher is required by SBE Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon
Rule).
Standards of Progress:
Under federal regulations, VA educational benefits
will be discontinued for those veterans’ benefit students
whose GPA falls below 2.00 in two consecutive terms.
Additionally, veteran students enrolled in Postsecondary
Vocational Certificate programs will be required to
maintain a minimum level of proficiency/progress that
will insure successful completion of the program.
Proficiency/progress will be monitored, and will be based
on attendance, records, graded course work, test results,
and instructors’ assessments. Veterans benefit students
that are not making progress toward satisfactory completion of the vocational program will have their VA
educational benefits suspended. Students in these
situations should contact the campus VA office
immediately for assistance in applying for reinstatement
of VA educational benefits.
Course Waiver/Substitution
To complete degree requirements, under extenuating
circumstances, a course can be waived or substituted for
the student upon recommendation of the appropriate
Department Chair and approval from the Campus
President. A Petition for Course Waiver or Petition for
Course Substitution form must be filed with the campus
Admissions and Records Office for the waiver or
substitution to be processed. Courses are waived or
substituted for specific degrees only.
A course that is waived or substituted does not
appear on the student’s transcript. Only courses that have
actually been placed on a student’s record appear on
his transcript.
Attendance
Regular class attendance is expected. “EXCESSIVE
ABSENCES” is defined as being absent more than 15% of
class meetings. However, faculty members can establish
more rigorous attendance standards for their individual
classes. Instructors will inform students in writing of their
grading and attendance policy at the beginning of the term.
Students are expected to attend all class sessions for
which they are registered. It is the responsibility of the
student to arrange to make up work missed because of
legitimate class absences and notify the instructor when
an absence will occur. The instructor determines the
effect of absences on grades. However, students who are
receiving financial aid or veteran’s benefits, who are
reported as never attending a course, will be dropped
from the class and benefits adjusted or rescinded.
After the last date to withdraw, the instructor should
assign the grade of ‘‘F’’ to those students who exceed the
established attendance standards for the class. However,
if a student assigned an ‘‘F’’ due to excessive absences
appeals to the instructor for a grade change based on
extenuating circumstances, the instructor may elect to
pursue an exception.
Note: If a veteran student exceeds the maximum
authorized absences after the last date for withdrawal, the
instructor must promptly notify the campus VA office by
memorandum.
It is the policy of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs
that veteran students who withdraw from a class after
the established drop deadline or are administratively
withdrawn will be required to repay all benefits received
for those classes unless mitigating circumstances are
determined as excusable by the Department of Veterans’
Affairs. The only exception to this policy is that the VA
will allow students to withdraw one time for a maximum
of six credit hours without having to furnish mitigating
circumstances and/or repay benefits.
Withdrawal
Per State Board Rule, 6A-14.0301:
Students may withdraw without academic penalty,
from any course, by the designated deadline for the semester. There is an official withdrawal deadline date for
each part of term within the semester. Students who
officially withdraw will be given a grade of “W”. Withdrawals after that date will be granted only through the
campus Dean of Educational Services. Students may
attempt a course only three times (including original
grades, repeat grades, and withdrawals). Through the
academic appeals process, students with extenuating
circumstances may petition for a fourth attempt. To begin
the academic appeals process, students must contact the
appropriate Dean of Educational Services. All grades from
the third attempt, and any subsequent attempts, will
be included when student’s grade point average
is calculated.
Students cannot withdraw from a course taken for the
third time. They must receive a grade for the third
attempts.
Students must pay the full cost of instruction (equal
to out-of-state fees) for credit classes they attempt a third
time and any additional times. If students have extenuating circumstances they may petition the appropriate
campus Dean of Educational Services for an exemption
from paying the full cost of instruction.
This policy went into effect in the Fall of 1997
(199740.) Courses taken prior to that term may be
forgiven and do not count in the maximum total attempts.
Note: It is the student’s responsibility to complete a
Course Withdrawal Form to initiate the process. Students
who withdraw from a course are still responsible for
tuition and fees for the course.
Transcripts
A signature from the student is required to release an
official transcript. A written request for transcripts should
be made to the Admissions and Records Office at least
two weeks before the transcript is required. Fax requests
can be accepted as long as all information is complete
and a legible photo ID is included to verify signature. A
photo I.D. is required. E-mail requests for transcripts
cannot be processed.
There is no charge for transcripts. All financial obligations to the College must be paid before a transcript will
be released.
Official transcripts are sent by BCC through the US
Mail or electronically to Florida State schools only.
Current students can obtain unofficial transcripts at
the Web address www.FACTS.ORG.
Transient Student from BCC
A transient student from Brevard Community College
is one who is currently enrolled at BCC and desires to take
courses at another institution. The campus Supervisor of
Admissions & Records or the campus Director of Enrollment Services may complete the Request for Transient
Student Status form; however, the signature of the Director
of Collegewide Admissions & Records must be on the form.
Transient student status will only be approved if each
of these requirements has been met:
• Student is in good standing at BCC with a minimum
GPA of 2.0
• Student has completed all required preparatory
courses
• Student has completed at least 15 credits at BCC
Student may be approved to take only those courses
that he would be eligible to take at Brevard Community
College (e.g., student who has not completed MAT 1033
would not be approved to take MAC 1105 at BCC or
another institution.)
The transient institution must be a regionally
accredited school from which BCC accepts transfer
credits without exceptions. The student is responsible
for requesting that an official, final transcript be sent
from the transient institution to BCC for posting on
his transcript.
Early Alert
“Early Alert” is a mid-term warning letter, generated by
faculty during the fall and spring terms. It is mailed to
students determined to be in academic jeopardy. The
intent of the letter is to encourage students to take the steps
necessary to successfully complete their course(s).
Credit By Examination
Students may earn a maximum of 45 credits through the
following Credit By Examination mechanisms.
COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP):
Students can earn college credits through this national
examination program. The maximum that can be earned
through the CLEP examination program is 45 credit hours.
Courses earned through CLEP will be recorded with
an ‘‘S’’ grade. No duplicate credit can be earned. A
listing of the CLEP subject exams and their course
equivalents, as well as additional information and
applications are available in the Educational Services
Office on each campus.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT:
Credit toward a BCC degree is offered to those high school
students who earn advanced placement test scores of 3
or higher. The amount of credit awarded depends on the
score received. Credit will be recorded in the same
manner as CLEP.
CREDIT BY INSTITUTIONAL EXAMINATION:
Students may be able to earn credit by Institutional
Examination on course material not covered by CLEP
exams or Advanced Placement exams. The appropriate
Department Chair should be contacted to determine
which courses are eligible for credit by Institutional
Examination. Cost per exam is $50. A grade will be
awarded and appear on the transcript, and the grade
earned will be calculated in the GPA.
DANTES EXAMS:
The Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education
Support (DANTES) program is a test conducted by the
Educational Testing Service (ETS). The DANTES Subject
Standardized Tests (DSSTs) measure earned achievement
in specific college courses and in calculated credit hours.
No duplicate credit can be earned, nor will ETS assign
grades to credits earned. Additional information about
DANTES exams can be obtained from the Educational
Services Office.
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) PROGRAM:
The “IB” program is an advanced level 2-year curriculum
for high school students offered at select high schools.
BCC will award IB diploma students up to 30
semester hours of college credit based upon IB
exam scores. Students must request that official IB exam
scores and high school transcripts be sent to BCC for
evaluation and the awarding of credit per SBE Rule 6A 10.024(8). For specific information, call Ext. 62799.

students who enrolled and successfully completed all
program courses. Verification procedures and additional
information may be obtained from the Allied Health
Division Office.
CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEU’S):
The Council on the Continuing Education Unit defines the
CEU as ten contact hours or participation in an organized
continuing education experience under responsible
sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction.
Ten contact hours equal one CEU. The CEU is awarded
through Continuing and Professional Education for
professionals seeking supplemental vocational seminars or
courses providing job upgrading or retraining.
Family Education Rights
& Privacy Act
Brevard Community College maintains certain
practices and procedures to assure compliance to the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This
law affords students certain rights with respect to their
education records. These rights include:
1) The right to inspect and review the student’s
education records within 45 days of the day the
College receives a request for access. Students
should submit to the campus Dean of Educational
Services, or an appropriate college official, written
requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for
access and notify the student of the time and place
where the records may be inspected. If the records
are not maintained by the College official to whom
the request was submitted, that official shall advise
the student of the correct official to whom the
request should be addressed.
2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s
education records that the student believes is
inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the
College to amend a record that they believe is
inaccurate or misleading. They should write the
College official responsible for the record, clearly
identify the part of the record they want changed, and
specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the
College decides not to amend the record as requested
by the student, the College will notify the student of
the decision and advise the student of his or her right
to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.
Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the student when
notified of the right to a hearing.
3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally
identifiable information contained in the student’s
education records, except to the extent that FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent.
One
exception, that permits disclosure without consent, is
disclosure to school officials with legitimate
educational interests. A school official is defined as
a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff
position (including law enforcement unit and health
staff); a person or company with whom the College
has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or
collection agent); a person serving on the Board of
Trustees; or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a
legitimate educational interest if the official needs to
review an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibility. Upon request, the College
discloses education records without consent to
officials of another school in which a student seeks or
intends to enroll.
4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S.
Department of Education concerning alleged failures
by the College to comply with the requirements of
FERPA. The name and address of the office that
administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-4605
Director of Collegewide Admissions & Records
1519 Clearlake Road
Cocoa, FL 32922
Directory Information
Directory information means information contained in
an education record of a student that would not generally
be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Under the terms of FERPA, Brevard Community College
has established the following as directory information:
• Name, address, telephone listing, electronic mail
address
• Date and place of birth
• Participation in officially recognized activities
and sports
• Major
• Weight and height of athletes
• Enrollment status (full, part time)
• Degrees and awards received
• Dates of attendance
• Most recent previous school attended
• Grade level
Although the above directory information may be
available for release, Brevard Community College does
not routinely release such information to third parties.
The Act states that each student has the right to inform
the College that any or all the information is not to be
released. The College will honor the student’s request to
restrict the release of “Directory Information” as stated
previously. To withhold information, a student must
notify the Admissions and Records Office in writing prior
to the drop/add period each semester. Status of disclosure at the last registration period is binding and all
records will be noted “Confidential.” No information will
be released without the written consent of the student.

Students accepted for Early Admission must earn
sufficient credits at the College to meet high school
graduation requirements. The credits that early admission
students earn count toward both a high school diploma
and a college degree or vocational certificate.
Students who complete sufficient semester hours
with at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA may be awarded a
high school diploma by the high school from which they
transferred. Students whose GPA falls below a 2.00 may
be withdrawn from the program for academic reasons and
returned to their high school program.
In addition to submitting required applications and high
school transcripts, early admission candidates must have a
personal interview with a college representative, present
college-level scores on a state approved placement test, and
meet the minimum cumulative unweighted GPA requirement
for the selected program:
• 3.00 for an Associate in Arts Degree
• 3.00 for an Associate in Science Degree
• 3.00 for a Vocational Certificate

College does not assess fees, including tuition, to early
admission and dual enrollment students.
High school students interested in accelerated
education programs should first contact their high school
guidance counselor to determine eligibility.
Dual Enrollment
The Dual Enrollment Program enables qualified
public, private and home-school students in the 10th,
11th, or 12th grades to enroll in academic and vocational
courses offered by BCC. The credits that students earn
count toward both a high school diploma and a college
degree or vocational certificate.
In addition to submitting required applications,
candidates must meet the minimum cumulative
unweighted GPA requirement for the selected program:
•
3.00 for an Associate in Arts Degree
•
2.50 for an Associate in Science Degree
•
2.00 for a Vocational Certificate
Credit in Escrow
High school students who have completed their
freshman year (9th grade) with a minimum unweighted
GPA of 2.00 can enroll part-time at BCC. A student can
enroll for a maximum of 11 hours during the fall or spring
semester or 6 hours during each summer term.
Students who participate in the Credit in Escrow
option must pay admission fees and tuition, and must
furnish their own textbooks and supplies. Credit earned at
BCC will be held in escrow until the student graduates
from high school and does not count toward high school
graduation requirements.
Advance Standing
Following completion of a semester at BCC, students
who have completed a selected series of high school
vocational/technical courses can petition the Collegewide
Director of Admissions and Records to have advanced
standing credit placed on their permanent transcript. The
student must have a GPA of 2.00 in the program for
which the credit is to be awarded.

Financial Aid & Scholarships
Financial Aid
Brevard Community College makes postsecondary
education possible for all individuals in the community.
The primary purpose of the Financial Aid Department at

those individuals who, without such aid, would be unable
to attend college. For additional information, please call
a BCC Financial Aid Office or visit the website at
www.brevard.cc.fl.us/FinancialAid.

GRANTS are federally or state funded programs that
do not require repayment. This type of aid is generally
awarded to individuals who demonstrate exceptional
financial need.
SCHOLARSHIPS are usually awarded to students who
demonstrate academic excellence or exceptional
talent or skills. Each scholarship has its own criteria,
requires a separate application and does not
require repayment.
LOANS are financial assistance, that must be repaid
usually with interest and in a specific time period.
Often repayment is deferred while the student is
attending college.
EMPLOYMENT programs allow the student to defray
part of the expenses of a college education by
working part-time. Most positions are located on
campus and require 12 hours of work per week.
Financial Aid Search via the Internet
Another source for scholarship information is through
Internet searches. Examples of scholarship search services
include:

www.finaid.org
www.plato.org
www.collegeboard.com/paying
What are the general eligibility requirements for
need-based financial aid?
To qualify for financial aid, the student must prove
that financial assistance is needed. Need is the
difference between the amount the student and the
student’s family can contribute and the cost to attend the
college of choice. A student must meet the following
requirements:
1. Have a high school diploma or a GED, or
demonstrate the ability to benefit from the program
through a federally-approved test
2. Be enrolled in a degree or certificate program of at
least one year in length

permitted. Eligibility resides within a designated program.
Financial Aid will fund only the course work directly
related to the program certificate.
Interested students should contact the Financial Aid
Office on the campus they plan to attend for the financial
aid brochure and application.
FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS – 43
What criteria must transfer students meet in order
to qualify for financial aid?
Transfer students who apply for financial aid must
have at least a 2.00 GPA after transfer credits are evaluated to be eligible to receive financial aid funding. Transfer
students with less than 2.00 GPA must raise their
cumulative GPA to at least 2.00.
What is the application procedure for
financial aid?
1. Obtain and complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). Forms for the following
academic year are available at local community
college/university campuses and public libraries at
the beginning of January. Students can also file
electronically via the Internet. The Internet address is
www.fafsa.ed.gov. The financial aid process is
lengthy, so early application is highly encouraged.
2. While the student awaits the Student Aid Report (SAR)
that will be generated as a result of the filing of the
FAFSA, he/she should contact the Admissions and
Records Office at BCC to make sure records are
complete, including high school transcript, college transcript(s), appropriate testing, and declaration of a major.
3. Once the student receives the SAR, he/she should
contact the Financial Aid Office to see if additional
information is needed to complete his/her financial
aid file.
4. The SAR is not a financial award. Each student will
receive an Award Notice, that informs the student of
the aid for which he/she is eligible.
5. Once the student receives the Award Notice, he/she
should check the aid which he/she wishes to receive and
return the signed Award Notice to the following address:
Financial Aid Office
3865 N. Wickham Road
Melbourne, FL 32935
What academic standards must students meet to
remain eligible to receive financial aid?
Federal and state regulations require that students
must meet minimum standards in order to be eligible to
receive Financial Aid funds. The following minimum
standards at Brevard Community College are applied
uniformly to all Title IV financial aid programs
administered by the College, except those programs
whose eligibility requirements are restricted to
institutional funds or outside donor restrictions:
1. Students must meet an academic performance
requirement of at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.
44 – FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS
2. Students must make progress toward their degree.
Minimum progress toward a degree requires first year
financial aid applicants who have previously attended
the college to have earned 67 percent of registration
attempted at the College.
3. Minimum progress toward a degree requires continuing
financial aid recipients to earn 67 percent of credit
hours attempted during the current academic year for
renewal eligibility. If a continuing financial aid
recipient completes zero credits/hours for any funded
term during the academic year, then he or she will lose
all subsequent financial aid awarded for the academic
year.
4. Students must complete their educational objective
within a given time frame:
a. All AA, AS and AAS degree-seeking students have
a maximum 90 attempted credit hours.
b. All certificate seeking students are limited to no
more than 150% of the published length of the
educational program.
All transfer credits that are accepted by the college
will be included as attempted credit hours as well as all
Brevard Community College attempted coursework
regardless of whether the courses are applicable toward
the student’s degree.
Attendance?
How do incomplete grades, withdrawals, remedial
course work and repeating courses impact a
student’s financial aid?
A student who did not complete any credit hours in a
term and has incompletes in that term has 20 college days in
a full semester (10 in a mini-term) from the first day of
classes of the following term to make up incomplete grades in
order to continue receiving funds. Reinstatement of awards is
contingent on a funds-available basis, and it is the student’s
responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office within the time
frame provided.
If grade changes or incomplete grades made up after
the time frame should affect subsequent terms or
academic year eligibility, students must provide
transcripts reflecting such changes and petition for
resolution through the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.
Withdrawals from any course(s) shall be counted in the
total hours attempted and can result in failure to meet the
standards of progress. Students must follow the official
withdrawal procedures established by the College.
Funding for students assigned for remedial course
work (college preparatory courses) will be limited to 30
credits. Course repeats always count in the total
attempted credits, but the GPA configuration will only
consider the final attempt in the cumulative GPA.
Do I have to repay federal funds if I withdraw
from a course?
Return of unearned funds refers to the return of federal
financial aid dollars that the student did not earn as a
result of totally withdrawing from all classes.
Students who receive federal financial aid funds and
subsequently withdraw from all classes will have a federal
formula applied based on the date of withdrawal,
percentage of the payment, and period attended by the
student. If the formula indicates an amount “unearned,”
a repayment of aid is required.
The institution will notify the student in writing of any
amount(s) to be returned to the Federal Title IV accounts.
Student(s) must repay the amount within 45 days.
Student(s) will not qualify for further federal aid until the
repayment is satisfied.
What is the procedure for reinstating financial aid
that has been suspended or denied?
If a student is denied/suspended from financial aid,
the student must attend a semester without Title IV
federal aid and earn six credits with an all-college
cumulative 2.0 GPA or better. Students who take more
than six hours are required to pass all credits attempted.
The student is required to submit an appeal along with an
updated transcript for further consideration and/or
reinstatement of financial aid.
PROBATION/SUSPENSION (FINANCIAL AID)
Students are monitored for a cumulative 2.0 GPA,
completed credits/hours, and time frame at the end of
every term. Failure to maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA
results in a probationary status that remains until the
final review is performed. Students who complete zero
credits/hours or reach the maximum time frame will be
denied further aid.
DETERMINATION OF CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY
(FINANCIAL AID)
A final review of satisfactory progress occurs at the
end of the student’s academic year. Students who do
not meet the above-stated minimum requirements are
suspended from receiving further financial aid.
What is the procedure for financial aid appeal?
Students whose eligibility has been terminated
(because of failure to meet the standards of satisfactory
progress) can, in certain cases, request a formal review of
the decision to revoke financial aid eligibility.
Circumstances that can be considered for this special
review (appeal) include: death in the student’s immediate
family, medical emergencies, accidents, divorce or separation of parents, personal tragedy, or other documented
circumstances beyond the student’s control that prevented
him or her from meeting the minimum standards.
To appeal the decision on this basis, the following
procedure must be followed:
1. The students must submit a written request to the
Office of Financial Aid. This must include a manual
graduation audit and an unofficial BCC transcript.
2. The circumstances that prevented satisfactory
progress to occur must be clearly stated.
3. The request must include documentation to support
the exceptional circumstances, such as death
certificate, statement from physician, or other
verifiable information.
4. Once the review has been made, the student will be
notified of the result of the review.

enrolled at Brevard Community College?

Academic Policies
Scholarship and Grading
Grading Policies
BCC uses a 4.00 grading scale. Students are awarded
letter grades for course work attempted.
Used in GPA computation are:
A Excellent .................................................4 points
B Good .......................................................3 points
C Satisfactory ..............................................2 points
*D Poor ......................................................1 point
F Failure .....................................................0 points
*A “D” grade earned in English, math, humanities, or social or
behavioral science course work will not satisfy general education
requirements for the AA and some AS Degree programs and will be
counted only as elective credit.
Not used in GPA computation are:
AU ..................………………………………………Audit
I ................……………………………………Incomplete
N ............………Progressed but did not achieve course
objectives. Student must re-enroll.
S ................…………………………………..Satisfactory
U ................……………………………….Unsatisfactory
W ................………………………………... Withdrawal
The following letter grades have special requirements:
AU: Awarded to a student who enrolls in a credit class for
enrichment but not for credit and requests the audit
status in writing. Student must pay the regular
fees and meet appropriate course prerequisite
requirements. No credit is earned. To change
enrollment from credit to audit or audit to credit, a
student must contact the Admissions and Records
Office before the established deadline. Vocational and
college preparatory courses may not be audited.
Note: Financial Aid and Veteran students will not receive
benefits for audit classes.
I: An "I" grade is assigned when the student and the
instructor reach a mutual agreement that the student has
a reasonable chance of successful completion of the
coursework within the time frame prescribed by College
policy. A grade of "I" is not computed in a student's GPA.
BCC policy requires that an "I" grade must be completed
by the end of the next major term or the "I" reverts to an
"F" (summer terms are not considered in this time limit).
An "I" received in the term of graduation will be
calculated as a "F" grade for purposes of computing the
student's GPA for graduation. An "I" cannot be assigned
to a course if the student fails to attend the course, drops
the course, or withdraws from the course. A student who
registers for a course but fails to meet the course
requirements, without officially dropping or withdrawing
from the course, will receive a grade of "F" in the course.
Note: Students who receive Pell Grants must arrange for grade
change within three weeks of the beginning of the following term.
Students who receive an “I” grade in the term they apply to graduate
have three weeks from the end of the term to have the grade changed
to be able to graduate in that term. After that time, students must
reapply for graduation and pay the reapplication fee.
N: Awarded when students have made satisfactory progress
on work attempted, but have not achieved all course
objectives. N grades are awarded only in college
preparatory courses. To earn credit for the class, reenrollment is required.
Note: The “N” grade can be repeated for VA benefits. Veteran
students who receive an “N” grade in a college preparatory class
will be required to repay all benefits unless mitigating
circumstances are determined as excusable by the Department of
Veterans’ Affairs. Students who complete a college preparatory
class or certificate course before the end of the term will have
their benefits reduced accordingly. The instructor will notify the
VA Office by memorandum of the date course was completed.
W: Assigned if a student officially withdraws by the
established deadline in the Schedule of Classes or the
college administratively withdraws the student for
reasons such as non-compliance of rules or extenuating
circumstances. The student will be permitted a
maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon the third
attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw
and will receive a grade for that course.
See Maximum Attempts Per Course, page 29.
Graduation
The College holds two commencement ceremonies for
graduating students: a Spring ceremony in May and a
Summer/Fall ceremony in December. Students who
complete their requirements for graduation during the
summer will continue to be “officially” graduated in August
and the degree or certificate awarded. There will be no
negative impact on a student’s ability to transfer with degree.
All students who complete degree requirements during the
summer are invited to “walk” in the Summer/Fall
commencement ceremony.
Students who are ready to graduate must submit an
Intent to Graduate Application by the prescribed application
deadline during the term in which they plan to graduate. The
application deadline date is published each term in the
Schedule of Classes and is on the Calendar of Events, pages
6-7 of this catalog. A late fee will be assessed for
applications submitted after the deadline. The application
form must be completed and signed by the student and a
student advisor, who will verify that the student has
completed all degree requirements.
A graduation fee of $20 per degree (or $10 re-application
fee) must accompany the application. Students who
meet all degree requirements but do not apply for graduation
will be automatically graduated through the academic action
process and their degree posted to their transcript. They will
be notified by letter of their eligibility and be given a
deadline to request their graduation not be processed, if they
are continuing coursework. Students who are automatically
graduated will not be issued a diploma until they apply and
pay the $20 fee. See Graduation Fee, page 48.
rigors of traditional classes. Honors Program students
enjoy an environment of scholarly challenge, creative
interaction, and intellectual stimulation through special
sections of general education and elective courses.
Students are actively involved in courses structured to
provide an innovative approach to learning.
Honors Program Benefits
As a part of the Honors Programs, students enjoy a
number of benefits:
•
Small classes
•
Environment promoting scholarly research as well as
independent and critical thinking
Grade Point Average (GPA) Computation
•
Priority registration
Each letter grade has a point value. To determine your
grade point average (GPA), multiply the number of points for
each grade earned times the number of the course’s credits. A
“B” (three points) in a three-credit course is worth nine points.
An “A” (four points) in the same three-credit course is worth
12 points.

Scholastic Achievement
Based on the term grade point average, BCC
recognizes students with high academic achievement.
Dean’s List: (Fall and Spring) recognizes students who
have earned six or more credits during the term with a
Honors List: (Fall and Spring) lists all students who have
earned at least six credit hours during the term with a
President’s List: (Fall and Spring) lists all students who
have earned at least six credit hours during the term with
a grade point average of 4.00.
Graduation with Honors: A student completing degree or
certificate requirements with a cumulative grade point
average of 3.50 or higher will graduate with Honors.
Note: An ‘‘F’’ or "I" in any course precludes a student from being
listed on the Dean’s, Honors, or President’s list.
Additionally, students must be recommended for
admission by a high school teacher or guidance counselor,
or by a BCC advisor or faculty member (or faculty from
another college, in the case of transfer students).
Program Options
Students may participate in the Honors Program as
an Honors Student (seeking an Honors Diploma) or as an
Honors Affiliate (simply seeking access to the Honors
classes and program benefits). Both levels require that
students meet the aforementioned qualifications for
admission to the program.
Honors Program
The Brevard Community College Honors Program
offers students an opportunity to participate in an
academic experience that will challenge them beyond the
Honors Students have the goal of completing a minimum
of 18 credit hours of Honors classes while maintaining an
overall GPA of at least 3.5 to receive an Honors Diploma.

Successful completion of the Phi Theta Kappa
sponsored Leadership course
Honors Affiliates do not intend to complete 18 credit
hours of courses, but would simply like the opportunity to
take Honors classes. Admission requirements are the
same, but Honors Affiliates are not required to complete
18 hours of Honors courses, perform the 20 hours of
service, or take the leadership course. Transcripts, of
course, will note the Honors classes. Maintenance of a
3.5 GPA is required.
For more information or for an application, call the Honors
Program Director at (321) 632-1111, extension, 32850.
Grade Change
All grade changes must be initiated by the instructor,
and approved by the appropriate Department Chair and
Campus President. If the instructor is no longer a member
of the faculty, the Department Chair may initiate the
grade change. Changes must be submitted on a Grade
Change Form. Students who do not agree with an
instructor’s final grade decision must file an academic
appeal through the campus Dean of Educational Services.
Grade changes are processed on the campus where
the course was taken. Grade changes or alterations to the
student’s academic record cannot be made after a
student has graduated.
Forgiveness Policy per state rule 6A.14.0301:
A course in which a grade of “D” or “F” has been
earned can be repeated up to a maximum of two times for
grade forgiveness purposes. All grades will remain on the
student’s official transcript. The original grade will be
marked with a “T” to indicate that the course has been
repeated, and the repeat course will be marked with an
“R” on the student’s transcripts. The original grade will
always appear on the transcript, but only the repeated
course grade will be calculated into the GPA. A course in
which a satisfactory grade of “A”,”B”, or “C” has been
earned may not be repeated for grade forgiveness or
gpa purposes. No course may be repeated for grade
forgiveness purposes after graduation.
Students may attempt a course only three times
(including original grades, repeat grades, and
withdrawals). Through the academic appeals process,
students with extenuating circumstances may petition for
a fourth attempt. To begin the academic appeals process,
students must contact the appropriate Dean of
Educational Services. All grades from the third attempt,
and any subsequent attempts, will be included when
student’s grade point average is calculated.
This policy went into effect in the Fall of 1997.
Courses taken prior to that term may be forgiven and do
not count in the maximum total attempts.
Note: It is the student’s responsibility to notify the
Admissions Office that a course was repeated for grade
forgiveness purposes.
Maximum Attempts Per Course
Students may withdraw without academic penalty
from any course by the established deadline as follows:
1. A student can have only three attempts per course
including the original grade, repeat grades, and all
withdrawals. A fourth attempt can be allowed only
through an academic appeals process, based on
documented extenuating circumstances and approved
by the campus Dean of Educational Services.
All grades from the third and subsequent attempts will
be calculated in the grade point average. In addition,
students will be assessed full cost of instruction for the
course. Courses taken at institutions other than BCC will
not be counted in determining repeat charges. Students
who want to pursue an appeal should consult an advisor.
2. Some types of financial aid do not cover repeat course
attempts. Students should check with the Financial Aid
Office to determine status.
3. A course can be counted only once toward meeting
graduation requirements, except where permitted by a
course description.
4. Attempts “counted” start with courses taken beginning
Fall of 1997.
Note for AA Degree students: Some senior institutions
count all hours attempted and all quality points earned.
Note for VA Students: VA benefits may not be received for
repeat courses assigned a “D” grade unless a grade of
“C” or higher is required by SBE Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon
Rule).
Standards of Progress:
Under federal regulations, VA educational benefits
will be discontinued for those veterans’ benefit students
whose GPA falls below 2.00 in two consecutive terms.
Additionally, veteran students enrolled in Postsecondary
Vocational Certificate programs will be required to
maintain a minimum level of proficiency/progress that
will insure successful completion of the program.
Proficiency/progress will be monitored, and will be based
on attendance, records, graded course work, test results,
and instructors’ assessments. Veterans benefit students
that are not making progress toward satisfactory completion of the vocational program will have their VA
educational benefits suspended. Students in these
situations should contact the campus VA office
immediately for assistance in applying for reinstatement
of VA educational benefits.
Course Waiver/Substitution
To complete degree requirements, under extenuating
circumstances, a course can be waived or substituted for
the student upon recommendation of the appropriate
Department Chair and approval from the Campus
President. A Petition for Course Waiver or Petition for
Course Substitution form must be filed with the campus
Admissions and Records Office for the waiver or
substitution to be processed. Courses are waived or
substituted for specific degrees only.
A course that is waived or substituted does not
appear on the student’s transcript. Only courses that have
actually been placed on a student’s record appear on
his transcript.
Attendance
Regular class attendance is expected. “EXCESSIVE
ABSENCES” is defined as being absent more than 15% of
class meetings. However, faculty members can establish
more rigorous attendance standards for their individual
classes. Instructors will inform students in writing of their
grading and attendance policy at the beginning of the term.
After the last date to withdraw, the instructor should
assign the grade of ‘‘F’’ to those students who exceed the
established attendance standards for the class. However,
if a student assigned an ‘‘F’’ due to excessive absences
appeals to the instructor for a grade change based on
extenuating circumstances, the instructor may elect to
pursue an exception.
Note: If a veteran student exceeds the maximum
authorized absences after the last date for withdrawal, the
instructor must promptly notify the campus VA office by
memorandum.
It is the policy of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs
that veteran students who withdraw from a class after
the established drop deadline or are administratively
withdrawn will be required to repay all benefits received
for those classes unless mitigating circumstances are
determined as excusable by the Department of Veterans’
Affairs. The only exception to this policy is that the VA
will allow students to withdraw one time for a maximum
of six credit hours without having to furnish mitigating
circumstances and/or repay benefits.
Withdrawal
Per State Board Rule, 6A-14.0301:
Students may withdraw without academic penalty,
from any course, by the designated deadline for the semester. There is an official withdrawal deadline date for
each part of term within the semester. Students who
officially withdraw will be given a grade of “W”. Withdrawals after that date will be granted only through the
campus Dean of Educational Services. Students may
attempt a course only three times (including original
grades, repeat grades, and withdrawals). Through the
academic appeals process, students with extenuating
circumstances may petition for a fourth attempt. To begin
the academic appeals process, students must contact the
appropriate Dean of Educational Services. All grades from
the third attempt, and any subsequent attempts, will
be included when student’s grade point average
is calculated.
Students cannot withdraw from a course taken for the
third time. They must receive a grade for the third
attempts.
Students must pay the full cost of instruction (equal
to out-of-state fees) for credit classes they attempt a third
time and any additional times. If students have extenuating circumstances they may petition the appropriate
campus Dean of Educational Services for an exemption
from paying the full cost of instruction.
This policy went into effect in the Fall of 1997
(199740.) Courses taken prior to that term may be
forgiven and do not count in the maximum total attempts.
Note: It is the student’s responsibility to complete a
Course Withdrawal Form to initiate the process. Students
who withdraw from a course are still responsible for
tuition and fees for the course.
Transcripts
A signature from the student is required to release an
official transcript. A written request for transcripts should
be made to the Admissions and Records Office at least
two weeks before the transcript is required. Fax requests
can be accepted as long as all information is complete
and a legible photo ID is included to verify signature. A
photo I.D. is required. E-mail requests for transcripts
cannot be processed.
There is no charge for transcripts. All financial obligations to the College must be paid before a transcript will
be released.
Official transcripts are sent by BCC through the US
Mail or electronically to Florida State schools only.
Current students can obtain unofficial transcripts at
the Web address www.FACTS.ORG.
Transient Student from BCC
A transient student from Brevard Community College
is one who is currently enrolled at BCC and desires to take
courses at another institution. The campus Supervisor of
Admissions & Records or the campus Director of Enrollment Services may complete the Request for Transient
Student Status form; however, the signature of the Director
of Collegewide Admissions & Records must be on the form.
Transient student status will only be approved if each
of these requirements has been met:
• Student is in good standing at BCC with a minimum
GPA of 2.0
• Student has completed all required preparatory
courses
• Student has completed at least 15 credits at BCC
Student may be approved to take only those courses
that he would be eligible to take at Brevard Community
College (e.g., student who has not completed MAT 1033
would not be approved to take MAC 1105 at BCC or
another institution.)
The transient institution must be a regionally
accredited school from which BCC accepts transfer
credits without exceptions. The student is responsible
for requesting that an official, final transcript be sent
from the transient institution to BCC for posting on
his transcript.
Early Alert
“Early Alert” is a mid-term warning letter, generated by
faculty during the fall and spring terms. It is mailed to
students determined to be in academic jeopardy. The
intent of the letter is to encourage students to take the steps
necessary to successfully complete their course(s).
Credit By Examination
Students may earn a maximum of 45 credits through the
following Credit By Examination mechanisms.
COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP):
Students can earn college credits through this national
examination program. The maximum that can be earned
through the CLEP examination program is 45 credit hours.
Courses earned through CLEP will be recorded with
an ‘‘S’’ grade. No duplicate credit can be earned. A
listing of the CLEP subject exams and their course
equivalents, as well as additional information and
applications are available in the Educational Services
Office on each campus.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT:
Credit toward a BCC degree is offered to those high school
students who earn advanced placement test scores of 3
or higher. The amount of credit awarded depends on the
score received. Credit will be recorded in the same
manner as CLEP.
CREDIT BY INSTITUTIONAL EXAMINATION:
Students may be able to earn credit by Institutional
Examination on course material not covered by CLEP
exams or Advanced Placement exams. The appropriate
Department Chair should be contacted to determine
which courses are eligible for credit by Institutional
Examination. Cost per exam is $50. A grade will be
awarded and appear on the transcript, and the grade
earned will be calculated in the GPA.
DANTES EXAMS:
The Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education
Support (DANTES) program is a test conducted by the
Educational Testing Service (ETS). The DANTES Subject
Standardized Tests (DSSTs) measure earned achievement
in specific college courses and in calculated credit hours.
No duplicate credit can be earned, nor will ETS assign
grades to credits earned. Additional information about
DANTES exams can be obtained from the Educational
Services Office.
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) PROGRAM:
The “IB” program is an advanced level 2-year curriculum
for high school students offered at select high schools.
BCC will award IB diploma students up to 30
semester hours of college credit based upon IB
exam scores. Students must request that official IB exam
scores and high school transcripts be sent to BCC for
evaluation and the awarding of credit per SBE Rule 6A 10.024(8). For specific information, call Ext. 62799.
Assessment of
Prior Learning
CREDIT FOR PRIOR MILITARY
TRAINING/EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Students who have prior active military service or training
earned in senior division ROTC units may be eligible to
receive elective credit for some of their military service.
The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences
in the Armed Services published by the American Council
of Education shall be the guide for awarding credits for
courses taken in the Armed Services. Credits granted for
all tests and/or service schools shall be limited to one-half
the total number of semester hours needed for the
certificate or degree from Brevard Community College.
CREDIT FOR CORRESPONDENCE COURSES:
Transfer credit can be granted for coursework completed
through correspondence at a regionally accredited institution.
CREDIT FOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING:
BCC has adopted the CAEL (Credit for Adult Experiential
Learning) process for recognition of prior learning. Students
with sufficient learning experience can be recognized
through CAEL by documenting their learning activities and
receiving college credit. Up to 25% of college credit can be
granted for a degree or certificate for specific BCC courses.
Credit is awarded on a course-by-course basis only. For
more information, call ext. 32060.
CREDIT FOR CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL SECRETARY EXAM:
Official certification of CPS exam results must be
submitted to the Campus Admissions and Records Office.
The student must complete three semester hours within
the Associate in Science Degree in the Office Systems
Technology before credit for the CPS exam will be
officially recognized. A minimum of 15 semester hours of
degree requirements must be earned at Brevard
Community College. Credit for the CPS exam will be
recorded on the student’s record in the same manner
as CLEP.
CREDIT FOR MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY:
Credit for competencies demonstrated by credentials that
are not described in semester credit hours can be
awarded upon fulfillment of all the other requirements for
the associate degree in Medical Laboratory Technology.
Applicants must first attain a ‘‘C’’ average in the general
education requirements for the AS Degree. This plan
enables accredited vocational school MLT certificate
graduates or practicing medical laboratory technicians
who hold a Florida HRS license or a national certificate to
acquire an Associate in Science Degree in Medical
Laboratory Technology from BCC. Additional information
and application forms can be obtained from the Allied
Health Division Office.
CREDIT FOR RADIOGRAPHY:
Credit for competencies demonstrated by Certification
from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
will be awarded upon the presentation of necessary
verification. This program enables practicing registered
radiologic technology radiographers to acquire an
Associate in Science Degree in Radiography from Brevard
Community College. Additional graduation requirements
are the same as those of students enrolled in the
program. Verification procedures and additional
information can be obtained from the Allied Health
Division Office.
CREDIT FOR REGISTERED NURSING:
Designed to enable practicing diploma-graduate
registered nurses to acquire an Associate in Science
Degree in nursing from BCC. Credit for competencies
evidenced by licensure (R.N.) from the Florida Board
of Nursing will be awarded in the same manner as
students who enrolled and successfully completed all
program courses. Verification procedures and additional
information may be obtained from the Allied Health
Division Office.
CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEU’S):
The Council on the Continuing Education Unit defines the
CEU as ten contact hours or participation in an organized
continuing education experience under responsible
sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction.
Ten contact hours equal one CEU. The CEU is awarded
through Continuing and Professional Education for
professionals seeking supplemental vocational seminars or
courses providing job upgrading or retraining.
Family Education Rights
& Privacy Act
Brevard Community College maintains certain
practices and procedures to assure compliance to the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This
law affords students certain rights with respect to their
education records. These rights include:
1) The right to inspect and review the student’s
education records within 45 days of the day the
College receives a request for access. Students
should submit to the campus Dean of Educational
Services, or an appropriate college official, written
requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for
access and notify the student of the time and place
where the records may be inspected. If the records
are not maintained by the College official to whom
the request was submitted, that official shall advise
the student of the correct official to whom the
request should be addressed.
2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s
education records that the student believes is
inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the
College to amend a record that they believe is
inaccurate or misleading. They should write the
College official responsible for the record, clearly
identify the part of the record they want changed, and
specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the
College decides not to amend the record as requested
by the student, the College will notify the student of
the decision and advise the student of his or her right
to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.
Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the student when
notified of the right to a hearing.
3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally
identifiable information contained in the student’s
education records, except to the extent that FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent.
One
exception, that permits disclosure without consent, is
disclosure to school officials with legitimate
educational interests. A school official is defined as
a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff
position (including law enforcement unit and health
staff); a person or company with whom the College
has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or
collection agent); a person serving on the Board of
Trustees; or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a
legitimate educational interest if the official needs to
review an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibility. Upon request, the College
discloses education records without consent to
officials of another school in which a student seeks or
intends to enroll.
4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S.
Department of Education concerning alleged failures
by the College to comply with the requirements of
FERPA. The name and address of the office that
administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-4605
Director of Collegewide Admissions & Records
1519 Clearlake Road
Cocoa, FL 32922
Directory Information
Directory information means information contained in
an education record of a student that would not generally
be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Under the terms of FERPA, Brevard Community College
has established the following as directory information:
• Name, address, telephone listing, electronic mail
address
• Date and place of birth
• Participation in officially recognized activities
and sports
• Major
• Weight and height of athletes
• Enrollment status (full, part time)
• Degrees and awards received
• Dates of attendance
• Most recent previous school attended
• Grade level
Although the above directory information may be
available for release, Brevard Community College does
not routinely release such information to third parties.
The Act states that each student has the right to inform
the College that any or all the information is not to be
released. The College will honor the student’s request to
restrict the release of “Directory Information” as stated
previously. To withhold information, a student must
notify the Admissions and Records Office in writing prior
to the drop/add period each semester. Status of disclosure at the last registration period is binding and all
records will be noted “Confidential.” No information will
be released without the written consent of the student.

Accelerated Education Programs
for High School Students
Several educational options are available that enable
qualified students to begin their college education while
still in high school. To qualify for program acceleration
through Early Admission, Dual Enrollment, or Credit in
Escrow, public and private high school students must:
1. Complete a BCC Accelerated Education Programs
Application (each term) and a BCC Application for
Admission (initial term only), and
2. Submit official scores on one of the designated
placement tests, and
3. Meet grade level, GPA and other program requirements.
Private schools must meet requirements of F.S.
229.808 and 232.246 and have an Articulation
Agreement on file with the College in order for their
students to participate in early admission and dual
enrollment programs.
Home-school students must be in compliance with
applicable Florida laws. Along with meeting testing and
GPA requirements, they must submit the following
completed documents:
1. BCC Application for Admission, and
2. BCC Accelerated Programs Application for homeschool students, and
Early Admission
Qualified Brevard County high school students
(public, private and home-school) who have completed
their junior year can enroll at BCC instead of enrolling at
their high school at the beginning of their senior year.
Students accepted for Early Admission must earn
sufficient credits at the College to meet high school
graduation requirements. The credits that early admission
students earn count toward both a high school diploma
and a college degree or vocational certificate.
Students who complete sufficient semester hours
with at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA may be awarded a
high school diploma by the high school from which they
transferred. Students whose GPA falls below a 2.00 may
be withdrawn from the program for academic reasons and
returned to their high school program.
In addition to submitting required applications and high
school transcripts, early admission candidates must have a
personal interview with a college representative, present
college-level scores on a state approved placement test, and
meet the minimum cumulative unweighted GPA requirement
for the selected program:
• 3.00 for an Associate in Arts Degree
• 3.00 for an Associate in Science Degree
• 3.00 for a Vocational Certificate
3. Sworn Affidavit for Compliance with FS-232-0201.
In accordance with Florida law, Brevard Community
College does not assess fees, including tuition, to early
admission and dual enrollment students.
High school students interested in accelerated
education programs should first contact their high school
guidance counselor to determine eligibility.
Dual Enrollment
The Dual Enrollment Program enables qualified
public, private and home-school students in the 10th,
11th, or 12th grades to enroll in academic and vocational
courses offered by BCC. The credits that students earn
count toward both a high school diploma and a college
degree or vocational certificate.
In addition to submitting required applications,
candidates must meet the minimum cumulative
unweighted GPA requirement for the selected program:
•
3.00 for an Associate in Arts Degree
•
2.50 for an Associate in Science Degree
•
2.00 for a Vocational Certificate
Credit in Escrow
High school students who have completed their
freshman year (9th grade) with a minimum unweighted
GPA of 2.00 can enroll part-time at BCC. A student can
enroll for a maximum of 11 hours during the fall or spring
semester or 6 hours during each summer term.
Students who participate in the Credit in Escrow
option must pay admission fees and tuition, and must
furnish their own textbooks and supplies. Credit earned at
BCC will be held in escrow until the student graduates
from high school and does not count toward high school
graduation requirements.
Advance Standing
Following completion of a semester at BCC, students
who have completed a selected series of high school
vocational/technical courses can petition the Collegewide
Director of Admissions and Records to have advanced
standing credit placed on their permanent transcript. The
student must have a GPA of 2.00 in the program for
which the credit is to be awarded.

What criteria must transfer students meet in order
to qualify for financial aid?
Transfer students who apply for financial aid must
have at least a 2.00 GPA after transfer credits are evaluated to be eligible to receive financial aid funding. Transfer
students with less than 2.00 GPA must raise their
cumulative GPA to at least 2.00.
What is the application procedure for
financial aid?
1. Obtain and complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). Forms for the following
academic year are available at local community
college/university campuses and public libraries at
the beginning of January. Students can also file
electronically via the Internet. The Internet address is
www.fafsa.ed.gov. The financial aid process is
lengthy, so early application is highly encouraged.
2. While the student awaits the Student Aid Report (SAR)
that will be generated as a result of the filing of the
FAFSA, he/she should contact the Admissions and
Records Office at BCC to make sure records are
complete, including high school transcript, college transcript(s), appropriate testing, and declaration of a major.
3. Once the student receives the SAR, he/she should
contact the Financial Aid Office to see if additional
information is needed to complete his/her financial
aid file.
4. The SAR is not a financial award. Each student will
receive an Award Notice, that informs the student of
the aid for which he/she is eligible.
5. Once the student receives the Award Notice, he/she
should check the aid which he/she wishes to receive and
return the signed Award Notice to the following address:
Financial Aid Office
3865 N. Wickham Road
Melbourne, FL 32935
What academic standards must students meet to
remain eligible to receive financial aid?
Federal and state regulations require that students
must meet minimum standards in order to be eligible to
receive Financial Aid funds. The following minimum
standards at Brevard Community College are applied
uniformly to all Title IV financial aid programs
administered by the College, except those programs
whose eligibility requirements are restricted to
institutional funds or outside donor restrictions:
1. Students must meet an academic performance
requirement of at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.
2. Students must make progress toward their degree.
Minimum progress toward a degree requires first year
financial aid applicants who have previously attended
the college to have earned 67 percent of registration
attempted at the College.
3. Minimum progress toward a degree requires continuing
financial aid recipients to earn 67 percent of credit
hours attempted during the current academic year for
renewal eligibility. If a continuing financial aid
recipient completes zero credits/hours for any funded
term during the academic year, then he or she will lose
all subsequent financial aid awarded for the academic
year.
4. Students must complete their educational objective
within a given time frame:
a. All AA, AS and AAS degree-seeking students have
a maximum 90 attempted credit hours.
b. All certificate seeking students are limited to no
more than 150% of the published length of the
educational program.
All transfer credits that are accepted by the college
will be included as attempted credit hours as well as all
Brevard Community College attempted coursework
regardless of whether the courses are applicable toward
the student’s degree.
Attendance?
How do incomplete grades, withdrawals, remedial
course work and repeating courses impact a
student’s financial aid?
A student who did not complete any credit hours in a
term and has incompletes in that term has 20 college days in
a full semester (10 in a mini-term) from the first day of
classes of the following term to make up incomplete grades in
order to continue receiving funds. Reinstatement of awards is
contingent on a funds-available basis, and it is the student’s
responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office within the time
frame provided.
If grade changes or incomplete grades made up after
the time frame should affect subsequent terms or
academic year eligibility, students must provide
transcripts reflecting such changes and petition for
resolution through the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.
Withdrawals from any course(s) shall be counted in the
total hours attempted and can result in failure to meet the
standards of progress. Students must follow the official
withdrawal procedures established by the College.
Funding for students assigned for remedial course
work (college preparatory courses) will be limited to 30
credits. Course repeats always count in the total
attempted credits, but the GPA configuration will only
consider the final attempt in the cumulative GPA.
Do I have to repay federal funds if I withdraw
from a course?
Return of unearned funds refers to the return of federal
financial aid dollars that the student did not earn as a
result of totally withdrawing from all classes.
Students who receive federal financial aid funds and
subsequently withdraw from all classes will have a federal
formula applied based on the date of withdrawal,
percentage of the payment, and period attended by the
student. If the formula indicates an amount “unearned,”
a repayment of aid is required.
The institution will notify the student in writing of any
amount(s) to be returned to the Federal Title IV accounts.
Student(s) must repay the amount within 45 days.
Student(s) will not qualify for further federal aid until the
repayment is satisfied.
What is the procedure for reinstating financial aid
that has been suspended or denied?
If a student is denied/suspended from financial aid,
the student must attend a semester without Title IV
federal aid and earn six credits with an all-college
cumulative 2.0 GPA or better. Students who take more
than six hours are required to pass all credits attempted.
The student is required to submit an appeal along with an
updated transcript for further consideration and/or
reinstatement of financial aid.
PROBATION/SUSPENSION (FINANCIAL AID)
Students are monitored for a cumulative 2.0 GPA,
completed credits/hours, and time frame at the end of
every term. Failure to maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA
results in a probationary status that remains until the
final review is performed. Students who complete zero
credits/hours or reach the maximum time frame will be
denied further aid.
DETERMINATION OF CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY
(FINANCIAL AID)
A final review of satisfactory progress occurs at the
end of the student’s academic year. Students who do
not meet the above-stated minimum requirements are
suspended from receiving further financial aid.
What is the procedure for financial aid appeal?
Students whose eligibility has been terminated
(because of failure to meet the standards of satisfactory
progress) can, in certain cases, request a formal review of
the decision to revoke financial aid eligibility.
Circumstances that can be considered for this special
review (appeal) include: death in the student’s immediate
family, medical emergencies, accidents, divorce or separation of parents, personal tragedy, or other documented
circumstances beyond the student’s control that prevented
him or her from meeting the minimum standards.
To appeal the decision on this basis, the following
procedure must be followed:
1. The students must submit a written request to the
Office of Financial Aid. This must include a manual
graduation audit and an unofficial BCC transcript.
2. The circumstances that prevented satisfactory
progress to occur must be clearly stated.
3. The request must include documentation to support
the exceptional circumstances, such as death
certificate, statement from physician, or other
verifiable information.
4. Once the review has been made, the student will be
notified of the result of the review.
May veterans receive VA Education Benefits while
enrolled at Brevard Community College?
Brevard Community College is fully accredited and
approved for veterans training. Veterans eligible for

while enrolled in approved programs of courses leading to
a degree or vocational objective. Random selection of
classes for VA payment is prohibited.
Training time classifications, subject to VA policy, are:

Programs of Instruction
ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE
- University Parallel Program -
The Associate in Arts Degree (AA) is a university parallel degree
designed for students who intend to earn a bachelor's degree from
a four-year college or university. The AA degree is comparable to
the freshman and sophomore years (lower division) of a university
program and requires a total of sixty (60) college-level credit
hours for completion. All AA degree students must also satisfy the
College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) by either taking the
test or qualifying for an exemption.
Within the sixty (60) credit hours, students must successfully
complete thirty-six (36) credit hours of general education courses
from within the subject areas of communications, mathematics,
humanities, behavioral/social sciences, and natural sciences.
A specific number of credit hours are required in each subject
area. A grade of "C" or higher must be earned in all courses
designated as Gordon Rule, see page 50.
(See Associate in Arts Degree Requirements page 51)
The remaining 24 credit hours are electives. Students do not
select a major until they transfer as juniors into a university or
college baccalaureate degree program. To transfer into junior level
work in a specific major, students must have completed the
common program prerequisites for their selected degree within
their AA Degree. It is essential that students work closely with an
academic advisor to choose electives required for their major, in
addition to completing general education requirements.
While BCC does not have a foreign language requirement, the
state university system does have a foreign language requirement
for admission. Two consecutive courses in the same language at
the community college will satisfy that requirement.
Students who earn an AA degree are guaranteed admission to one
of the public Florida universities. They are not guaranteed
admission, however, to a limited access program within the
institution. These programs limit enrollment to a specific number
of applicants and have more rigorous admission standards.
(See Community College Transfer Guarantee below)
Community College Associate in Arts Transfer
Guarantee
Under the Statewide Articulation Agreement (State Board of
Education Rule 6A-10.024), Brevard Community College
Associate in Arts Degree graduates are guaranteed the following
rights:
• Admission to one of the state universities, except to limited
access programs that have additional admission requirements.
• Acceptance of at least 60 credit hours by the state universities
toward the baccalaureate degree.
• Adherence to university requirements and policies based on the
catalog in effect when the student first entered a community
college, provided the student has maintained continuous
enrollment.
• Transfer of equivalent courses under the Statewide Course
Numbering system.
• Acceptance by the state universities of credit earned in
accelerated programs (e.g. CLEP, AP, Dual Enrollment, Early
Admission, and International Baccalaureate).
• No additional General Education Core requirements.
• Advanced knowledge of selection criteria for limited access
programs.
• Equal opportunity with native university students to enter
limited access programs.
Graduation Requirements for the Associate in
Arts Degree
Responsibility for meeting the requirements of graduation rests
with the student. The Associate in Arts Degree is awarded to
those students who have:
• Satisfactorily completed a prescribed course of study totaling
60 semester hours that include 36 semester hours of general
education course work and 24 hours of elective credit,
• Completed at least 25% (15 hours) of the college credit hours
through Brevard Community College,
• Achieved a "C" or higher in all courses used to fulfill
communications, mathematics, humanities and social/behavioral
sciences general education requirements, and
• Achieved a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all college work
attempted. An "I" received in term of graduation is calculated as
an "F" grade for purposes of computing the student's GPA for
graduation. If the course work is completed, resulting in a
passing grade, the student's transcript is amended and a final
GPA calculated,
• Satisfied the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
requirement by either taking and passing the four components
of the test or qualifying for an exemption,
• Filed an Intent to Graduate Application on or before the
published deadline. This includes an advisor's signature and
the payment of graduation fee, and
• Removed all financial obligations to the College.
CATALOG YEAR POLICY: Students can choose to graduate under
requirements of either the:
1) BCC Catalog in effect at the time they began their studies
providing they have been in continuous enrollment.
“Continuous enrollment” is defined as enrolling at least one
term in each academic year, or
2) BCC Catalog in effect during the year in which they have
completed their degree/program requirements.
Two associate degrees will not be conferred upon the same person
unless the second degree represents at least twelve semester
hours of appropriate curriculum credit with all specific degree
requirements met, in addition to those presented for the first
degree. A grade point average of at least 2.00 (“C” average) must
have been earned at BCC in additional work.
A second associate degree can be awarded upon completion of all
courses required in the second program. Applicants will not be
required to repeat courses that are applicable to two programs.

CLAST
College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
The CLAST is an achievement test that measures selected
communications and mathematical skills. Florida Statutes and
State Board of Education rules mandate that students satisfy the
CLAST requirement when pursuing an Associate in Arts Degree
(AA). Students must present scores that meet the minimum
standards in effect at the time they initially took the test.
Students are eligible to register for the CLAST after satisfactorily
completing at least 18 semester hours of college level
coursework. They may retake a subtest of the CLAST in which
they failed to achieve a passing score.
Students are not required to satisfy the CLAST to receive an AS
or AAS degree. However, AS degree graduates who transfer into
a Baccalaureate degree program at a Florida state university
must take the examination prior to completing 36 credit hours
at the university.
Passing scores for the award of an AA Degree and for admission
to upper division status have been established by the State
Board of Education as follows:

Transfer
PREPARING FOR TRANSFER TO A FOUR-YEAR
COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY
Students planning to transfer to a four-year or senior college
with junior standing can complete the graduation requirements
for the Associate in Arts Degree by taking courses at BCC that
also satisfy the Baccalaureate Degree requirements at the
college to which they transfer.
BCC. Working with transfer manuals from senior institutions,
Brevard Community College academic advisors can assist
students in planning to transfer an AA degree program for
virtually any major offered in an upper-division state supported
university and at many private institutions.
It is the student's responsibilitly to ensure that their degree
program at Brevard Community College contains the appropriate
prerequisites for their selected baccalaureate degree programs.
Students can also review on the Internet the prerequisite
requirements for specific majors at Florida public universities at
www.facts.org. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that
his/her degree program at BCC contains the appropriate preprofessional courses. University majors for which students can
prepare include, but are not limited to:
The College strongly urges all students to work closely with an
academic advisor and to obtain transfer requirement information
for their intended major at the beginning of their enrollment at

BCC/UCF 2 + 2 PROGRAMS
University of Central Florida/Brevard Campus
Operates in partnership with the Brevard Community College
campus system and offers undergraduate, graduate and
certificate program courses at the BCC Cocoa, Palm Bay and
Melbourne campuses. The partnership, also known as the 2+2
Program, is designed to facilitate a seamless transition from
BCC to UCF - all without the need to leave Brevard County.
The BCC/UCF 2+2 Program is simple:
BCC provides students with freshman and sophomore-level
classes leading to the Associate of Arts Degree. The University
of Central Florida's Brevard Campus provides BCC graduates
with junior, senior, and graduate-level programs leading to the
bachelor's and master's degree.
Two years at BCC and two years at UCF = the 2+2 Program
Advantages of the BCC/UCF 2+2 Program:
• Easier Transfer - Academic counseling is available to facilitate
a smooth transition
• University Acceptance - The statewide articulation agreement
assures AA graduates of a Florida public community college
acceptance at a state university. In addition, Limited Access
programs require a separate application. Admission to a
Limited Access program is competitive and not guaranteed.
• More Affordable - Tuition and fee charges are more reasonable
since both institutions are state supported. Students get more
for their educational dollar.
• Convenient Class Schedule - Most courses are offered one
evening per week, at times less likely to disrupt work
schedules and family life.
• Close to home - The 2+2 Program enables most students to
complete the four-year degree without leaving Brevard County.
Summer school attendance is not required
Transfer Scholarships – Students graduating from BCC under the
2+2 program are eligible to apply for merit based scholarships
offered by UCF.

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE (AS) & APPLIED SCIENCE (AAS)
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
General AS and AAS Information
Associate in Science (AS) degree and Associate in Applied Science
(AAS) degree programs require a minimum of two years of study
and at least sixty (60) college credit hours. These programs are
designed for students who plan to enter employment as technicians
or semi-professionals, or students who are employed and plan to
use their educational experiences to advance in their career.
A. S. Degree
Both AS and AAS degree programs consist of courses developed to
provide students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies
required for initial employment as well as the general knowledge
and skills necessary to succeed in a technical work environment.
Courses within the degree programs generally include:
1. Technical Major Courses - 25% - 60%
Technical courses provide the specialized skills and knowledge
needed for entry-level employment and are taught by faculty
who have a demonstrated record of successful employment in
the field as well as advanced education.
2. General Education Courses - 25%
General education courses prepare the student with oral and
written communication skills, computational skills, and other
knowledge needed to become an informed citizen and an
effective employee. These courses are taught by faculty with
advanced degrees in the appropriate discipline.
3. Technical Support Courses - 15% - 50%
Technical support courses include knowledge and applied
skills outside the program discipline yet necessary to enter
and advance in employment. Technical support courses are
generally taught by faculty who have earned advanced degrees
in the appropriate discipline.
It is very important that students meet with an academic advisor
to carefully plan their schedule for completing their program
requirements. Certain AS and AAS Degree programs require
students to complete technical courses in a sequence to ensure
learning is maximized. Planning is particularly important because
class availability may be limited.
Both technical degree programs are developed and maintained
with assistance from technical advisory committees. BCC
maintains a standing technical advisory committee for each
technical and vocational program. These committees are actively
involved in reviewing the curriculum, equipment, and facilities,
and preparing recommendations that assist the College in keeping
programs state-of-the-art. Each campus may not offer all AS and
AAS Degree programs of study. Programs and campus locations
are listed on pages 56-59.
AAS and AS students who wish to also complete an AA degree can
complete the remainder of the general education hours at BCC.
The dual degree will be indicated on the student transcript. The
Registrar should be notified that both degrees are desired.
Responsibility to notify the Registrar rests with the students.
All AS & AAS Degree graduates must complete a minimum of 15
general education core credits including coursework from:

Computer Information Technology (AS)
The Computer Information Technology program is designed to prepare
students for careers in the business application of computers. The program
provides students with the option to follow one of five options, which include
Management Information Systems (MIS), Geographic Information Systems
(GIS), Oracle Database Administration, Solutions Developer, and Microsoft
Office User Specialist. The core courses provide training in the basic
concepts, which underlie computing technology, computer programming,
database techniques, analysis and design, and common user applications.
Students select courses from one of the four options. Technical electives
provide students with the opportunity to further their knowledge in the
specific area of choice.
A. S. Degree
The Geographic Information Systems Option provides the opportunity to
study the emerging field of spatial databases. Opportunities for employment
with experience in geographic information systems are plentiful, including
federal and state agencies, local authorities, and a wide range of private
businesses such as marketing, engineering, transportation, and
environmental firms. This option offers a core of GIS courses supported with
the related technologies of Remote Sensing and Global Positioning Systems
that provide the student with the widest possible experience in the
operation, maintenance, and use of spatial databases.
The Management Information Systems Option provides the student with the
knowledge and experience to apply modern data processing techniques to
the operation of businesses through the control and delivery of information.
Typical entry-level positions for graduates of this program include junior
programmer, programmer-analyst, software support specialist, and database
specialist. Individuals who are currently employed can use courses within
this option to upgrade their skills.
The Oracle Database Administrator option provides students with the
training necessary to maintain an Oracle database. This Option prepares
students for the Oracle Database Administrations Certification. Oracle
databases are among the most sophisticated databases currently available
and are used by large corporations to store corporate-wide information. An
Oracle database allows for multiple-user access, control of the level of user
access, and the development of specific procedures for accessing
information. Opportunities for employment for students with experience with
Oracle databases include state and federal government agencies, mediumto-large corporations, and Internet-based companies.
The Microsoft Office User Specialist option will prepare students to fully
utilize the Microsoft suite of office products. In addition, students may
prepare to take the series of certification exams to qualify at the expert or
master level of certification in the MS Office suite of products. Successful
completers will demonstrate overall comprehension of Microsoft desktop or
project applications and the skill necessary to integrate them with other
software applications.

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 common numbering system is used by all public
postsecondary institutions in Florida and by 17 participating
non-public institutions. The major purpose of this system is to
facilitate the transfer of courses between participating
institutions.
Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and
content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of
the course number to indicate the level at which students
normally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three
digits of the course numbers are assigned by members of
faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the
Florida Department of Education in Tallahassee. Individuals
nominated to serve on these committees are selected to
maintain a 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.”
Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as
“course equivalency profiles.”

General Rule for Course Equivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are identified by the
same prefixes and same last three digits of the course number
and are guaranteed to be transferable between participating
institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions.
(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 “Entry-Level General Sociology,” the decade
digit “1” represents “Survey Course,” and the unit digit “0”
represents “Social Problems.”
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 completed SYG 1010 at
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major
division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategory of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify
the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the
content of a course determines the assigned prefix to identify
the course.
Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses
0State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024(19), Florida
Administrative Code, reads:
When a student transfers among postsecondary institutions
that are fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting
agency recognized by the United State Department of
Education and that participate in the common course
designation and numbering system, the receiving institution
shall award credit for courses satisfactorily completed at the
previous participating institutions when the courses are
judged by the appropriate common course designation and
numbering system faculty task forces to be academically
equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution,
including equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of
the public or nonpublic control of the previous institution.
The award of credit may be limited to courses that are
entered in the course numbering system. Credits so awarded
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 transfer. 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
College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses may not
be used to meet degree requirements and are not transferable.
Courses
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.
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.
Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering System and
appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should be
directed to Dr. Judith Bilsky, Associate Vice President for
Educational Services (Brevard Community College, 1519
Clearlake Road, Cocoa, FL 32922), or the Florida Department
of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education Coordination,
1101 Florida Education Center, Tallahassee, Florida 323990400. Special reports and technical information may be
requested by calling telephone number (850) 488-6402 or
