League for Innovation in the Community College
Santa Fe Community College is a charter member of the League for Innovation
in the Community College and is one of 19 League Board colleges. More than
750 institutions from 11 different countries are League affiliate members.
The League, founded in 1968, is an educational consortium that functions
specifically to stimulate innovation and experimentation. It is the only organization of its kind in the community college field and has achieved national
recognition for the quality of its programs and activities.
As a national organization with members in all sections of the country, the
League influences community college development throughout North America.
To this end, the League is not only committed to programs that contribute to
the continuing improvement of member colleges, but also to providing opportunities for other community colleges to participate in its workshops, conferences, projects, and activities.
Accreditation Status
Santa Fe Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the Associate Degree.
In addition, Santa Fe Community College is accredited by the Florida State
Department of Education. The college’s accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools was reaffirmed in December of 2002. SFCC holds
membership in the Florida Association of Colleges and Universities and the
American Association of Community Colleges. The college has been approved by
the State of Florida as an institution in which recipients of general scholarship
loans for the preparation of teachers may take their first two years of college

students for healthy, productive lives in a democratic society is the chief
obligation of the public educational system. Therefore, we seek to enable
changes in individuals that allow them to live richer, more rewarding, and
more useful lives. We further believe that educated people should be guided
in their behavior by decency and civility; accordingly, we prize honesty,
integrity, and social responsibility among both our staff and students. The

College Information
critical thinking and problem-solving skills, global perspective, and creativity
necessary to make educated and ethical decisions in all aspects of their lives.
History of the College
Santa Fe Community College was established by the state government in 1965
to offer wide access to quality higher education. Florida's legislature, governor
and Department of Education were responding to a request from the Alachua
and Bradford County Boards of Public Instruction, which had canvassed the
area and learned that the community would be well served if all citizens had
the opportunity for an education and better life.
Enrollment has grown rapidly. Fewer than 1,000 students enrolled when classes
were first offered in September 1966. Today, more than 16,000 students take
credit classes and 12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are
given at the Northwest Campus, Andrews Center in Starke, Blount Center in
downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer and Watson Center in Keystone
Heights. A center for the Alachua area is planned.
The Northwest Campus, which opened in 1972, is set on 175 acres in Gainesville next to Interstate 75. The Andrews Center opened in 1985 in the renovated
Bradford County Courthouse, and expanded in 1991 with the addition of the
restored Cultural Building and again in 2001 with the addition of the Lillian
Stump Center. The Blount Center opened in 1990 in the renovated 6th Street railroad depot, expanded in 1993 with the addition of the renovated Gainesville Gas
Co. Building, and again in 2006 with the Blount Classroom Building. The Davis
Center opened in 2004. The Watson Center opened in 2005 with a second building opening in 2006. All the centers were built with funds raised in community
drives headed by the SFCC Endowment Corp. and operate to bring educational
opportunity to residents in SFCC’s Alachua-Bradford County service district.
The college has expanded education programs by increasing the number of
classes offered by electronic means such as the Internet and live broadcasts
Since then, SFCC has established programs and services that enable the college to carry out its mission of educational opportunity, responsiveness to the
community and innovation in the public interest. The philosophy of the college
during those years has been, and continues to be, one of student-centeredness.

to the SFCC centers. Almost 3,000 students take Internet classes through the
Open Campus.
SFCC has had only four presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was president from
1965 to 1971, when he was succeeded by Alan J. Robertson. Dr. Larry W. Tyree
was named president in 1990 and was succeeded on Jan. 1, 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.
The growth and expansion of the college have two main causes: educational
programs that are designed to meet the needs of students and a helpful learning environment that enables students to do their best.
Educational offerings are primarily the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science,
Associate of Applied Science and Community Education programs. The Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students
in this program intend to transfer to four-year colleges or universities. SFCC
sends more students to the University of Florida than does any other institution, with 2,500 transferring to UF each year. Many former SFCC students go
to other four-year schools, public and private, in and out of state.
The Associate of Science degree and certificate programs, called Technology
and Applied Sciences, consist generally of vocational programs that prepare
students for entry into a career, although some programs are transferable to
universities. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of students in these
programs either enter a career or go on to further higher education. Community Education offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth. In all its
credit programs, the college offers classes in several schedule formats to meet
the needs of students.
Classes are offered to suit the schedules of students. In addition to full semesters, SFCC has classes in a half semester "Flexterm" format, evening and "Earlybird" classes that can be taken before a student goes to work, and classes on
Saturdays.
Academic life is highlighted by the SFCC-University of Florida Foreign Languages Institute, an Honors Program, a speech and debate team, and an International Initiative that features many study abroad programs.
SFCC's Kirkpatrick Criminal Justice Training Center educates law enforcement
and corrections officer recruits and offers programs to retrain sworn officers.
The Kirkpatrick Center also trains students in the Emergency Medical Services,
Fire Sciences and Aviation Sciences programs. The college is dedicated to
economic development, and its Center for Business located in a newly refurbished building at University Avenue and NW 6th Street custom designs short,
long and "eLearning" online courses for professionals, business, industry and
government.
Students seeking bachelor's degrees can take classes at several colleges and
universities through The SFCC University Center without leaving Gainesville.
18
The student-centered learning environment at SFCC is sustained by a network
of counselors, advisors and helpful programs. Academic advisors give
Veterans are honored with an active ROTC program and a Veterans Affairs office that serves students at SFCC and the University of Florida.
Campus life is rounded out with a student government, student clubs, activities and intramural athletics. The college competes intercollegiately in women's
fastpitch softball, men's baseball, and men's and women's basketball.
SFCC offers many cultural activities to enrich the community's quality of life.
The Santa Fe Gallery, located at the Northwest Campus, features local and
contemporary artists. Concerts, plays and dance performances offer students
experience in the performing arts and enrich the cultural life of the community. The Dance Theatre of Santa Fe and Theatre Santa Fe hold numerous performances annually both on campus and at the Phillips Center, serving both the
college and the public. Music Santa Fe sponsors workshops and performances in
diverse musical traditions. SFCC's annual Spring Arts Festival attracts 130,000
visitors to Gainesville and is one of the community's largest economic events.
Santa Fe's Starke Fall Festival is a significant arts and economic event in Bradford County.
College Information
advice on classes to take. The student development offices help students decide
upon a career or further higher education. Academic support programs offer
tutoring and personal attention to help if students have difficulty in a subject.
The college also presents sciences to the public. The "Circle of Science" on the
Northwest Campus is composed of the soon to open Kika Silva Pla Planetarium,
the Jean Klein rock garden which is a series of boulders arranged in geological
order with interpretative plaques, and a geological atrium housing rocks, fossils and exhibits.
Endowment Corporation
The Santa Fe Community College Endowment Corporation, Inc. is a not-for-profit
corporation organized under Florida law and is fiscally and organizationally
separate from the college.
Its purpose is to receive private gifts, bequests, and donations, and to account
for, manage and help appreciate monies or property submitted to the Corporation. Such donations are totally tax deductible. Funds from the Corporation are
distributed to benefit and advance the college and for the encouragement and
subsidization of students and faculty of SFCC.
The Endowment Corporation Board of Directors is composed of selected persons
from Alachua and Bradford Counties who represent positive leadership and community influence and who have expressed an interest and desire to use their
influence on behalf of the college through the Endowment Corporation.
Santa Fe's Teaching Zoo is the only community college teaching zoo in the
nation and attracts 35,000 visitors per year. The college offers to students and
researchers its Geological Studies Field Station, a large network of caverns near
Newberry in rural Alachua County.

Outreach Centers and Programs
Andrews Center In 1983, the historic courthouse in Bradford County
and some of the surrounding properties were contributed to and purchased
by the Santa Fe Community College Endowment Corporation to establish a
major academic center in Starke, Florida. This $2.5 million asset includes a
turn-of-the-century facility that is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. Renovation of the historic courthouse was the responsibility of the
Endowment Corporation, which restored the interior to accommodate classrooms, laboratories, offices, a study room and student lounge. In addition to
enhanced educational and cultural opportunities for all citizens of Bradford
County, the Andrews Center is an integral part of downtown redevelopment
and restoration.
In the spring of 1991, the Andrews Center Cultural Building, a century-old
structure in downtown Starke, was renovated by private donations to the
Endowment Corporation. The $700,000 renovation project provides the college
and the community with a performing arts auditorium/theater seating 155
people, a facility for the Eugene L. Matthews Historical Museum, and additional classroom and office space for a growing Andrews Center.
In the fall of 2002, the Lillian Stump Education Center opened to provide the
Andrews Center with an approximately 4,000 square foot new facility, which
includes four major college classrooms and faculty and staff office space. The
Stump Education Center, a $400,000 project of the Endowment Corporation,
enhances the Andrews Center's dual enrollment program with Bradford County
High School and provides classroom space for college level courses, as well as
community and continuing education classes.
Blount Center In 1988 the City of Gainesville deeded the old train depot
22
on NW 6th Street to the SFCC Endowment Corporation for the purpose of
establishing an educational center that would be accessible to those living in
and around the downtown area. Renovation of the old train station was the
responsibility of the Endowment Corporation. All funds for this project came
In the spring of 1993 the SFCC Endowment Corporation purchased the old
Gainesville Gas Co. building located on the corner of NW 6th Street and West
University Avenue. Renovation of the building was completed in the fall
of 1993. The project provided the center an opportunity to expand student
services and provide additional upper level classes to our increased student
population.
In December 1993 the Downtown Center was named for Charles L. Blount, its
major contributor and fund-raiser with more than $3 million contributed to
establish the center. Charles Blount and his wife Patsy established a $3 million
scholarship program at the college. The Blount Center has several purposes:
• To provide an outreach center and educational training facility for the
citizens in the central Gainesville area
• To provide training programs for major businesses, small businesses
and industry in the downtown area
• To provide training and educational programs for existing employees of
the city and county government that occupy the downtown complex
• To provide an opportunity for community meeting rooms at no cost to
civic clubs, business and professional groups, and underserved
populations

from the private sector and involved the establishment of a major steering
committee composed of approximately 20 business and community leaders who
served as "ambassadors of good will" throughout the community.
In 2005, the SFCC East Gainesville Initiative and Community Outreach offices
were relocated to the Charles L. Blount Center. In the following year the SFCC
offices for administering the Carl D. Perkins Education Act were also relocated
to the center.
In the spring of 2006 the new Charles L. Blount General Classroom Building
opened. It contains approximately 10,000 square feet, 10 classrooms, a computer lab, testing lab, and offices for faculty and academic advisors.
In fall 2006 the college began both interior and exterior upgrades to the old
Gainesville Gas Co. building to develop SFCC’s nexus for business and professional development. The Charles L. Blount Center for Innovation and Economic
Development (CIED) opened in the spring of 2007. The CIED hosts the college’s
Center for Business and the CIED incubator, and offers rental facilities supporting business innovation and training.
The SFCC Center for Business provides short-term, non-credit "training for
excellence" for people or companies desiring improvement of skills. The center
houses the Center for Business and Industry, the Continuing Professional Education division, and the Computer Institute.
An opportunity for a college education is offered at the Charles L. Blount Center
by means of a variety of college credit classes Monday through Thursday evenings. These college classes, along with the regular day classes, make it easier
for individuals to fit a college class into their busy schedules.

Davis Center In the fall of 2003, the Ron and Norita Davis and Family Davis
Center opened to assist people in the southwestern part of Alachua County and
the surrounding Archer area to enroll in classes rather than having to journey
21 plus miles to the Northwest Gainesville campus. The center will promote
advancement and enhancement of higher education and potential vocational
training programs locally.
The more than 10,000 square foot facility includes six general classrooms, a
computer lab, ITV classroom, a community boardroom, faculty and staff offices,
and a community/common meeting room.
The Davis Center facility was made possible by a major contribution from Ron
and Norita Davis, and the Davis family, who made a substantial contribution of
in-kind and property totaling approximately $500,000 (20 plus acres of land)
and a $600,000 cash gift for a total of $1.1 million. A community-wide leadership of individuals and organizations to provide additional funding for the
establishment of the Davis Center was comprised of more than 26 community
leaders.
Watson Center In January of 2005 the Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W.
Watson Center opened to promote the advancement of higher education for
students in southeast Bradford County and the surrounding Keystone HeightsLake Region area. The Watsons donated $3.4 million to make the facility
possible. They also made a gift that resulted in the establishment of the
$1.4 million permanently endowed Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson
Scholarship.
The Watson Center's first building included six general education classrooms,
a computer lab, community boardroom, faculty and staff offices, community/
common meeting area and an office for the Bradford County constitutional
officers and sheriff. The second building opened in January 2006 with six additional general education classrooms, faculty offices and a state-of-the-art
science laboratory.
Open Campus Beginning in the fall semester of 1998, the college made
credit courses available to students "any place, any time" through the
Internet. These courses are administered through the Open Campus, located
in P-237 on the Northwest Campus. A wide selection of courses is available
to help students complete A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees or Technology and
Applied Sciences certificates. All courses carry credit equal to the same
courses taught in traditional classrooms at any SFCC campus location. Students
interact with their instructor and classmates using discussion boards, e-mail,
and online chats within the class itself. Most courses are designed so they can
be completed without having to attend classes on any campus at a fixed time
or place. Some instructors may require attendance on campus for testing, but
arrangements can be made for this at remote sites.

Because Open Campus classes offer the convenience and flexibility of attending college from a personal computer via the Internet, students can continue
Above all, self-discipline and motivation are integral components for success in
Open Campus classes. Students need some previous computer experience with
a high level of competency in Web-browsing, file management, word processing
and e-mail. The courses are designed to run with current computer technology
and students will need good, dependable access to the Internet. Prospective
students should complete the Learner Profile available on the Open Campus Web

not transferable for college credit. CEUs are standardized, based on the number
of hours a class is taught. CEUs allow professional organizations and certifying
agencies to grant recognition for participation in a Continuing Education class
that fosters professional growth. The college keeps a record of each student’s
CEUs and transcripts are available on request. Visit online at www.sfcc.edu.

Advisement Center
Admissions and Associate of Arts Degree Advisement
www.sfcc.edu - select Advisement Center–Associate of Arts Degree
Santa Fe Community College is committed to quality advising for all students.
The advising mission is to assist students in the attainment of their educational goals. The Advisement Center is responsible for acting as an information
and referral center with timely and accurate information for students regarding admissions and Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree graduation requirements.
Advisors help students through the matriculation process to ensure a smooth
transition into Santa Fe and also help A.A. students plan their program of
study in preparation for transfer to a four-year university. All new students
(first-time in college and transfer) must attend orientation (online or on
campus) before they meet with an advisor. Current and returning students
are required to access their degree audit through eSantafe or to see an advisor
each semester for academic planning.
Location: R-201 (NW Campus), phone (352) 395-5503
Advising Hours: Monday - Thursday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and
Friday 1 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
No appointments; students are seen on a walk-in basis. Advisors are also available at the branch campuses.
Associate of Arts Degree If you intend to transfer to one of Florida’s state
32
universities, the Associate of Arts degree (A.A. degree) is the transferable
degree. The A.A. degree contains the general education portion (lower
division) of the baccalaureate degree. In order to assist us in advising you
properly, please make sure you have indicated which university you wish to
transfer to and what major you would like to study. It is extremely helpful to
have your academic program fully planned no later than the beginning of the
second term. If you have not chosen a major, it would be helpful for you to
Admissions
select an area of interest so that the Advisement Office can give you specific
information about the university and major of your choice. Selecting a major
does not commit you to that selection; you can change your major at any time
by seeing an advisor in R-201 or by going to eSantafe and selecting “change
major.” If you are undecided, please contact a career counselor in Building S,
room 255 (Counseling Center). Beginning fall term 2002, entering freshmen
must have a major indicated by the completion of 24 credit hours.

Santa Fe Community College, in cooperation with the School Boards of Alachua and Bradford Counties, provides dual enrollment opportunities for high
school students. County articulation agreements specify eligibility for program
options. Tuition is free and textbooks are loaned free of charge to students affiliated with a public school. Private and home school students (not affiliated
with a public school) must purchase their own college textbooks. School bus
transportation and the free and reduced lunch program are also available to
those students affiliated with an Alachua County public school.
Admissions
High School Dual Enrollment Program
1. Technology and Applied Science Dual Enrollment Selected eleventh and
twelfth grade students who qualify through the CPT, SAT, or ACT enroll
in Technology and Applied Sciences Programs on campus. Once accepted,
students register for our full-time program enrolling in college technology, high school and/or college academic course work to fulfill high school
graduation requirements. There are over 30 career related areas from
which students may choose a major. (Technical programs not offered at the
Bradford Vocational Technical Center are available to Bradford High School
juniors and seniors.)
School of Construction Eleventh and twelfth grade Alachua County
students may enroll in the School of Construction. This program provides
an early entry opportunity for high school students to study one of the
professional construction trades. The School of Construction offers courses

in the areas of studio art, music, dance or theatre.
4. Part-Time Academic Dual Enrollment Academically eligible seniors may
take college level courses and apply the credit toward high school graduation and an Associate of Arts degree. Eligibility is based on a combination of college placement test scores and GPA. The college course load is
dependent on the number of classes a student is registered for at the high
school. (Bradford County students in grades nine to twelve may participate in this option.)
5. Part-Time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Eligible eleventh and twelfth grade
high school students may enroll in college studio art, dance, music or
theatre. Credit earned will apply toward high school graduation and an
Associate of Arts degree.
6. Early Admission This option is available to seniors. Students attend Santa
Fe on a full-time basis and are registered in college courses that apply
toward a high school diploma and an A.A. degree. Eligibility is based on a
3.5 GPA and a college level score on the ACT, SAT, or CPT as well as additional entrance criteria.
The CPT is administered at Santa Fe Community College and is free to
students who apply to the Dual Enrollment Program.
Information concerning the application process can be obtained from the High
School Dual Enrollment Office in uilding R, room 5 or by calling (352) 3955490. Applications for fall enrollment will be accepted beginning in January.
Notification of acceptance begins the end of May. The program fills quickly,
so students should submit an application and college placement test results as
early as possible.
Placement
38
Santa Fe Community College has a comprehensive assessment and placement
program to help students succeed in college. Rule 6A-10.315, College Preparatory Testing, Placement and Instruction, states that first-time-in-college
applicants for admission into degree programs shall be tested for reading,
writing and mathematics proficiency prior to the completion of initial registration, using the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test (CPT). Students who
present scores on the SAT or E-ACT that meet or exceed college-level placement
scores may be exempted from taking the Florida College Entry-Level Placement
Test. In compliance with this state law, SFCC adheres to the following assessment procedures:
Admissions
1. Degree seeking students may submit test scores from one of the state-approved assessment tests – CPTs, SAT or ACT for placement. If the scores on
the ACT or SAT are no more than two (2) years old and the reading, English
and/or math fall below college level, the student will take the CPTs in that
area. If the SAT/ACT score is college level or above, the student may use
that score for placement into college-level courses. If the SAT/ACT math
scores are college level and the student wishes to take a course higher
than MAT1033, it is required they take the College-Level Math (CLM) portion of the CPTs for college math placement.
2. Students who submit scores on the SAT or E-ACT that do not meet or exceed
college level placement scores in reading, writing and mathematics will take
the complete College Entry Level Placement Test (Computerized Placement
Tests-CPT). Official course placement will be based on the CPT test scores.
The SAT and E-ACT or CPT scores must be no more than two years old.
3. Degree-seeking students who submit official scores on the SAT or E-ACT
that meet or exceed college level placement scores in all areas are exempt
from any additional entry assessment, provided that scores are no more
than two years old. However, the College-Level Math (CLM) portion of the
CPTmust be taken to ascertain proper college-level math placement.
4. Students who are transferring from another college will follow steps 1, 2,
or 3, when applicable, or present official documentation of passing grades
in the highest level of college prep or college level reading, writing and/ or
mathematics courses. Official course placement will be based on test scores
and/or transfer course work.
Test scores from this testing procedure will be entered on the student record
and will automatically generate appropriate flags.
Note: Test scores that are more than two years old are not acceptable for entry
course placement. New students or readmit students will take the computer literacy examination as part of their entry.
The purpose of college entry assessment is to determine the appropriate courses for which students should enroll when they enter the college. Students who
score below the state designated level for placement into college level courses
are required to enroll in appropriate college preparatory courses. These courses
earn institutional credit; however, they are not counted as required or elective
credit for the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree.
Students with college level reading and English placement scores will enroll
in College Composition (ENC1101). College Composition is required of all first
semester students pursuing an Associate of Arts degree or enrolling in general
education courses. Associate of Science degree candidates may have a different
freshman English requirement.
Students who achieve the designated score on the CPT Elementary Algebra Test
will take the CLM for college-level mathematics placement. Transfer students
who have not completed their college-level mathematics requirements must
take the CLM.
39
www.sfcc.edu
Orientation
New Student Attending orientation is one of the most important things
you can do to get started on the right foot in college. Orientation is where
you’ll meet other new students, learn about college policies and procedures,
talk with an advisor, and register for courses. Students must schedule their
own orientation appointment through eSantaFe upon completion of the
placement testing requirement and removal of all registration holds. For more
information, visit the orientation Web site at www.sfcc.edu.
Admissions Criteria
High school graduation or a high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued
by a state board of education is required of all applicants seeking admission to
college credit programs and courses at SFCC with four exceptions:
• Non-high school graduates 18 years of age, or older students possessing
certificates of completion, are eligible to enroll for certain certificate
courses only.
• Early admission students will be accepted only from the college district
upon the recommendation of the Alachua or Bradford County School
Boards in accordance with the regulations set by those organizations.
• Alachua or Bradford County senior high school students are permitted to
enroll in individual credit courses on recommendation of their high school
principals. Specific units of high school preparation are not required, but
students should have completed courses in English, social studies, mathematics and the natural sciences.
• In the case of a student who is home educated, a signed affidavit submitted by the student’s parent or legal guardian attesting that the student
has completed a home education program pursuant to the requirements
of s. 232.02(4) is required. This affidavit may be obtained in the Office of
Admissions (Building R, room 112).
Note: Students who have earned high school certificates of completion should
contact the Welcome Center In Building R, room 112 for information regarding
college course work.
The following documents are required as part of the admissions process:
• Completed application for admission form. Note: International students
with a non-immigrant visa must contact the International Student Services Office for an International Student application.
• Official high school transcript or GED diploma.
Transfer Students
40
Transfer students (those students who have attended any postsecondary institution) must furnish a complete official transcript or record from each institution attended. Credits for any course taken at another regionally accredited
institution will be transferred, provided a grade of D or better was obtained.
Grades of D or lower will not be accepted to satisfy requirements for any college preparatory or Gordon Rule course.
Admissions
In accordance with §1001.64(8)(a), F.S., Santa Fe Community College may
consider the past actions of any person applying for admission or enrollment
and may deny admission or enrollment to an applicant because of misconduct if
determined to be in the best interest of the college. Santa Fe reserves the right
to refuse admission or re-enrollment or to place conditions on admission or
re-enrollment of applicants and students whom Santa Fe determines would be
disruptive of the orderly process of the college’s programs, would interfere with
the rights and privileges of other students or employees, and/or would represent a safety risk to Santa Fe students, employees or property. Applicants/students have the right to appeal any decision to the Vice President for Student
Affairs within 10 calendar days of the date the notice was received.
Transient Students
Students attending other postsecondary institutions who wish to take courses
at Santa Fe Community College and transfer the credit back to their institutions
may be admitted to Santa Fe as transient students. These students should apply
for admission. They are also required to present a transient form or any official
statement from their institution that they are in good standing and that the
credits earned will be accepted as part of their degree program at the home
institution. In order for a transient student to be exempt from prerequisites, the
transient letter must list the courses the student is authorized to take.
Deadlines and Transcripts
The deadline for applying to the college, with all supporting documents for any
given term, is the last day of late registration. For this and other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcc.edu or contact the Welcome
Center or askSantaFe. This date is subject to change without notice. Please
refer to the Admissions Web site at www.sfcc.edu for updated information
regarding admissions deadlines.
All students are strongly encouraged to apply early and complete all registration procedures before the first day of class.
Family and Student Educational Rights
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
and Florida Statutes (Privacy Rights of Parents and Students), the college has
identified as "directory information" a student's name, local address, telephone
number, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized
activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of
attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. This information is available to the public. Other information about students can be released only when
a written authorization, signed by the student, is presented to the college.
SFCC requires official transcripts from all entering students as a part of the application for admission. Transcripts should be on file with the Office of Records
and Admissions prior to registration. This includes high school transcripts for
entering freshmen and college transcripts for students transferring from other
colleges or universities. Transfer students with less than 60 credit hours from
previous institutions must also provide high school transcripts.
41
www.sfcc.edu
Any student who does not want this directory information released must file a
directory information exclusion request with the Office of Records (Building R,
room 101). Upon written request from a student, the custodians of educational
records will insure that all access rights specified by this act will be accorded
within three business days after a request has been made.
Each semester, the college prepares a listing containing the name, address, and
telephone number of each student enrolled. Copies of that listing are occasionally made available to companies who wish to contact SFCC students. Any
student who wants his or her information excluded from the college directory
must file the request before the first day of class for the full term. A directory exclusion request will remain in effect until rescinded in writing by the
student. Names of students who have requested directory exclusion will not be
printed in the commencement book for the graduation ceremony.
The college has designated the following individuals, by virtue of their responsibilities, as custodians of educational records:
Vice President for Student Affairs: Portia Taylor
College Registrar: Lynn Sullivan
If students wish to challenge the accuracy of their educational records, questions may be settled through informal hearings or upon the request of either
party (the educational institution or the eligible student) through formal
proceedings which will be conducted in compliance with this statute. These
procedures are intended to apply only to challenges to the accuracy of institutional records containing the grade assigned. Thus, eligible students could seek
to correct an improperly recorded grade, but could not, through the hearing
requested pursuant to this law, contest whether the teacher should have assigned a higher grade because the parents or student believe that the student
was entitled to a higher grade.
Parents or guardians desiring access to the records of a student who is their
dependent should ask the student to grant permission in writing to the college. Without written permission from the student, the parents or guardians
must certify in writing to the Office of Records that the student is economically dependent upon them as defined by Section 152 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, and must document this dependency by providing a copy of the
previous year's income tax return.
Residence Classification
42
For the purpose of assessing matriculation and tuition fees, a student shall be
classified as a “resident” or “non-resident” based upon Florida Statute 1009.21.
A complete copy of the state statute follows. Please contact the Office of
Enrollment Services if you have questions about your initial residency classification or the Records Office if you would like to petition to reclassify your
residency status.
(1) As defined under this section:
• The term “dependent child” means any person, whether or not living with
his parent, who is eligible to be claimed by his parent as a dependent
under the Federal Income Tax Code.
• The term “institution of higher education” means any of the constituent
institutions under the jurisdiction of the State University System or the
State Community College System.
• A “legal resident” or “resident” is a person who maintained his residence
in this state for the preceding year, has purchased a home which is occupied by him as his residence, or has established a domicile in this state
pursuant to 222.17.
• The term “parent” means the natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of a dependent child. Example: A “resident for tuition purposes” is a
person who qualifies as provided in subsection (2) for the in-state tuition
rate; a “non-resident for tuition purposes” is a person who does not
qualify for the in-state tuition rate.
(2) To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes:
• A person or, if that person is a dependent child, his parent or parents
must have established legal residence in this state for at least 12 months
immediately prior to his qualification.
• Every applicant for admission to an institution of higher education shall
be required to make a statement as to his length of residence in this
state and, further, shall establish that his presence or, if he is a dependent child, the presence of his parent or parents in the state currently is,
and during the requisite 12-month qualifying period was, for the purpose
of maintaining a bona fide domicile, rather than for the purpose of maintaining a mere temporary residence or abode incident to enrollment in an
institution of higher education.
• However, with respect to a dependent child living with an adult relative
other than the child’s parent, such child may qualify as a resident for tuition purposes if the adult relative is a legal resident who has maintained
legal residence in this state for at least 12 months immediately prior to
the child’s qualification, provided the child has resided continuously with
such relative for the 5 years immediately prior to the child’s qualification, during which time the adult relative has exercised day-to-day care,
supervision, and control of the child.
• The legal residence of a dependent child whose parents are divorced,
separated, or otherwise living apart will be deemed to be this state if
either parent is a legal resident of this state, regardless of which parent is
entitled to claim, and does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent pursuant to federal individual income tax provisions.
Admissions
Students shall be classified as residents or non-residents for the purpose of
assessing tuition fees in public community colleges and universities.
1009.21 Determination of resident status for tuition purposes
43
www.sfcc.edu
(3) An individual shall not be classified as a resident for tuition purposes and,
thus, shall not be eligible to receive the in-state tuition rate until he has
provided such evidence related to legal residence and its duration as may
be required by officials of the institution of higher education from which
he seeks the in-state tuition rate.
(4) With respect to a dependent child, the legal residence of such individual’s
parent or parents is prima facie evidence of the individual’s legal residence, which evidence may be reinforced or rebutted, relative to the age
and general circumstances of the individual, by the other evidence of
legal residence required of or presented by the individual. However, the
legal residence of an individual whose parents are domiciled outside this
state is not prima facie evidence of the individual’s legal residence if that
individual has lived in this state for 5 consecutive years prior to enrolling
or reregistering at the institution of higher education at which resident
status for tuition purposes is sought.
(5) In making a domiciliary determination related to the classification of a
person as a resident or nonresident for tuition purposes, the domicile of a
married person, irrespective of sex, shall be determined, as in the case of
an unmarried person, by reference to all relevant evidence of domiciliary
intent. For the purposes of this section:
• A person shall not be precluded from establishing or maintaining legal
residence in this state and subsequently qualifying or continuing to
qualify as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage
to a person domiciled outside this state, even when that person’s spouse
continues to be domiciled outside of this state, provided such person
maintains his legal residence in this state.
• A person shall not be deemed to have established or maintained legal
residence in this state and subsequently to have qualified or continued
to qualify as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage
to a person domiciled in this state.
• In determining the domicile of a married person, irrespective of sex, the
fact of the marriage and the place of domicile of such person’s spouse
shall be deemed relevant evidence to be considered in ascertaining
domiciliary intent.
(6) Any nonresident person, irrespective of sex, who marries a legal resident
of this state or marries a person who later becomes a legal resident may,
upon becoming a legal resident of this state, accede to the benefit of the
spouse’s immediately precedent duration as a legal resident for purposes of
satisfying the 12-month durational requirement of this section.
(7) A person shall not lose his resident status for tuition purposes solely by
reason of serving, or if such person is a dependent child, by reason of his
parent or parents’ serving, in the armed forces outside this state.
44
(8) A person who has been properly classified as a resident for tuition purposes but who, while enrolled in an institution of higher education in this
state, loses his resident tuition status because he or, if he is a dependent
Admissions
child, his parent or parents establish domicile or legal residence elsewhere, shall continue to enjoy the in-state tuition rate for a statutory
grace period, which period shall be measured from the date on which the
circumstances arose that culminated in the loss of resident tuition status
and shall continue for 12 months. However, if the 12-month grace period
ends during a semester or academic term for which such former resident is
enrolled, such grace period shall be extended to the end of that semester
or academic term.
(9) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or who graduates from an institution of higher education while classified as a resident for tuition purposes
and who subsequently abandons his domicile in this state shall be permitted to re-enroll at an institution of higher education in this state as a resident for tuition purposes without the necessity of meeting the 12-month
durational requirement of this section if that person has re-established his
domicile in this state within 12 months of such abandonment and continuously maintains the re-establishment domicile during the period of enrollment. The benefit of this subsection shall not be accorded more than once
to any one person.
(10)The following persons shall be classified as residents for tuition purposes:
(a) Active duty members of the armed services of the United States residing
or stationed in this state, their spouses, and dependent children, and active members of the Florida National Guard who qualify under s. 250.10(7)
and (8) for the tuition assistance program.
(c) United States citizens living on the Isthmus of Panama, who have completed 12 consecutive months of college work at the Florida State University Panama Canal Branch, and their spouses and dependent children.
(d) Full-time instructional and administrative personnel employed by state
public schools, community colleges, and institutions of higher education,
as defined in s. 1000.04, and their spouses and dependent children.
(e) Students from Latin America and the Caribbean who receive scholarships
from the federal or state government. Any student classified pursuant to
this paragraph shall attend, on a full-time basis, a Florida institution of
higher education.
(f) Southern Regional Education Board’s Academic Common Market graduate
students attending Florida’s state universities.
(g) Full-time employees of state agencies or political subdivisions of the state
when the student fees are paid by the state agency or political subdivision
for the purpose of job-related law enforcement or corrections training.
(h) McKnight Doctoral Fellows and Finalists who are United States citizens.
(b) Active duty members of the armed services of the United States and their
spouses and dependents attending a public community college or state
university within 50 miles of the military establishment where they are
stationed, if such military establishment is within a county contiguous
to Florida.
45
www.sfcc.edu
(i) United States citizens living outside the United States who are teaching
at a Department of Defense Dependent School or in an American International School and who enroll in a graduate level education program which
leads to a Florida teaching certificate.
(j) Active duty members of the Canadian military residing or stationed in
this state under the North American Air Defense (NORAD) agreement, and
their spouses and dependent children, attending a community college or
state university within 50 miles of the military establishment where they
are stationed.
(k) Active duty members of a foreign nation’s military who are serving as
liaison officers and are residing or stationed in this state, and their
spouses and dependent children, attending a community college or state
university within 50 miles of the military establishment where the foreign liaison officer is stationed.
Petitions for reclassification of residency status and all necessary accompanying documentation must be submitted to the Records Office before the first day
of class for the term in which residency status is sought. Retroactive changes
and refunds for prior terms will not be made.
Student Course Loads
A full-time student for fall, spring, and summer terms is one who enrolls in 12
or more semester hours or any combination of 12 or more hours in the full or
mini sessions within the individual term. Credit hours for courses audited are
counted toward a full load. Students may not register for more than 19 semester
hours in any term at SFCC, except with special permission. Students seeking
permission to enroll in additional course work may inquire at the Records Office
(Building R, room 101). Permission is granted by the vice president of academic
affairs or a designee.

Audit Fees
Any student in the college may elect to audit a college credit course at the
time of registration. A student may not switch from credit to audit or from
audit to credit after the drop/add period. No credit is granted when the course
is completed, nor can any be given at a future date. Audit students pay the
same tuition fees, application fees, laboratory fees and special fees as credit
students.
Computer Access Policy
In the 21st Century, ongoing use of an Internet-connected computer is a requirement for successful completion of college programs. Santa Fe Community
College expects and requires that all students acquire access to the computer
hardware and software necessary for their programs. The cost of meeting
this requirement varies from student to student, but may include purchase
or lease of a computer, Internet access fees, software purchases, and cost of
maintenance and supplies. Costs of meeting this requirement will be included
in financial aid considerations. No student will be denied access to Santa Fe
Community College because of an inability to purchase or lease a computer,
and accordingly, the college offers access to computers through its computer
labs and the library.

Official Withdrawal
A student may officially withdraw from one course or from the college prior
to the late withdrawal deadline. For this and other official college dates,
check the calendar online at www.sfcc.edu.
Many students who need financial assistance are able to obtain help through
scholarships, loans, grants and part-time work. Financial aid programs at SFCC
include Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Student Loan, Santa
Fe Scholarship, Florida Student Assistance Grant, Florida Bright Futures Scholarships, and Federal Plus Loan. These programs are financed by federal, state
and institutional funds. Awards are made on an academic year basis and the
amount of assistance is determined by individual need, student eligibility, and
availability of funds.
49
www.sfcc.edu
The withdrawal procedure is initiated by the student in the Office of Records
and may affect the student's athletic eligibility, financial aid or veterans
benefits, as well as benefits received from other federal agencies. Students are
required to obtain signatures from various departments in order to withdraw,
and it is the responsibility of the student to deliver a completed withdrawal
form to the Office of Records, Building R, room 101.
Students will not be permitted to routinely withdraw from college preparatory
courses (ENC 0020; REA 0010; MAT 0002; MAT 0024). Special permission for
withdrawal must be obtained from the College Prep advisor or chairperson.
The withdrawal procedure does not guarantee any refund of money, nor is it
related in any way to the refund policy (see Refund and Adjustment of Fees).
Any student seeking an exception to the withdrawal policy must request a
late withdrawal through the Office of Records, Building R, room 101. Refunds
past published deadlines are seldom given. Exceptions are by petition, and
only documented extenuating circumstances are considered.
Refund and Adjustment of Fees
Students who wish to withdraw from the college or who seek refunds of fees
paid may do so via eSantaFe or at the SFCC Records Office, Building R, room 101.
Refund/Repayment Policy As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1998,
a student who completely withdraws may be required to repay a percentage of
Title IV Federal Financial Aid funds received.
College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full for course work
dropped during the drop/add period or canceled by the college. However, the
federal refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiving financial aid and completely withdrawing from the college.
For specific information about the refund/repayment policy, please visit the
Financial Aid Web site at www.sfcc.edu or call a financial aid specialist at
(352) 395-5480.
Final Drop Day
Final drop day is the last day upon which a student may drop a course and be
eligible for a full refund of fees paid for that course. Courses officially dropped
will be removed from the student's record. The final drop day will be scheduled
so that every student will have an opportunity to drop a course on or after the
first scheduled class meeting. For the deadline date for dropping courses each
term, check the calendar online at www.sfcc.edu.

If the college cancels a class at any time prior to its completion, the student's
enrollment in that class will be canceled and the student will be entitled to a
100 percent refund of fees paid for that class, less any indebtedness to the col-
Refunds will be processed after the fee refund deadline dates. For these and
other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcc.edu. While
refund checks will be processed and distributed as soon as possible, a fair expectation for their receipt would be approximately two weeks after the deadline.

local Social Security office. SFCC's Office of Records will certify student enrollment for the Social Security Administration. Educational benefits are awarded
through the Social Security office.

The SFCC Veterans Affairs office has been established to help campus veterans
and other eligible persons attain their educational goals and to help them in
applying for educational benefits. The office will provide eligible persons with
information on programs and offerings such as work study, tutorial assistance
and solving USVA related eligibility issues.
Standards of Conduct Conduct standards for veterans at SFCC are the
same as those for all students and are set forth in the Student Handbook. If
a veteran is suspended or dismissed from the college, action will be taken by
the college to terminate the veteran's VA educational allowance.
Credit Awarded for Armed Services Educational Experiences
Veterans and other eligible persons have all prior credit/prior military credit
evaluated and the equivalency credits recorded in the student's folder and
permanent record. Cumulative permanent academic records are kept on the
common transcript form showing all credits attempted and earned to include
grades earned and incompletes.
In recognition of the academic and technical content of many military
educational experiences, Santa Fe Community College will grant credit for
military education. Credit awarded must be recommended as suitable for
postsecondary credit by the American Council on Education's Guide to the
Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Service (ACE Guide),
and be applicable to the student's program objective. Credit will be awarded
provided the current catalog lists comparable courses and/or the student has
not already earned credit for the particular course. After enrollment in the
college, the student must initiate the request for such credit by providing
the appropriate documentation to the SFCC Veterans Affairs office for review.
Recommendations in the ACE Guide are advisory in nature and are not
binding upon the college.
Deferred Tuition Payments
Deferment of tuition for veterans and other eligible program participants
is set forth in Statute 240.345; 6A-14.054, Florida Administrative Code. The
F.A.C. allows eligible program participants one 60-day deferment for the payment of registration fees in each student academic year. This deferment may
be extended or granted more than once an academic year due to educational
benefit payment delays beyond the control of the eligible Santa Fe Community
College student. Each eligible student who receives a deferment shall first sign
a promissory note made payable to the college for the amount of the deferred
fees. Such notes are exempt from the State of Florida documentary stamp
requirements.
64
Students receiving a tuition deferment shall be required to pay the amount
due by the due date for EVERY class deferred. Students may petition for late
withdrawal if they have stopped attending a class; however, the tuition for
each deferred class must be paid first.
In compliance with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs regarding
veterans and other eligible persons' attendance, progress and certification, the
following procedures are to be followed:
I.
Attendance The IHL program participant must notify the Santa Fe Community College Veterans Affairs office of any change in student status.
Student withdrawal from a class will be reported to the USVA within 30
days of the withdrawal. The NCD program participant enrolled in a vocational certificate program who accumulates three (3) or more unexcused
absences during any calendar month will be interrupted for USVA benefits.
The USVA will be notified by the college's VA office to suspend benefits
due to lack of attendance. Three unexcused tardinesses will count as one
absence.
Student Af fairs
Standards of Progress
II. Academic Progress The program participant's rate of progress toward his
or her educational goal is as follows:
The program participant may be certified to repeat a course in which an
unsatisfactory grade has been received. USVA educational benefits will
be terminated when the student's GPA is below 2.0 for two consecutive
terms. The college's Veterans Affairs office is available to assist program
participants in reinstatement of educational benefits following successful
completion of one semester attaining above a 2.0 GPA. Program participants are encouraged to seek academic advisement, attend tutorial labs or
seek assistance from the college's Veterans Affairs office to avoid academic
suspension of USVA educational benefits.
Reporting of Academic Progress The USVA prohibits payment of
All W grades are considered to be punitive and will be reported as required to
the USVA. The USVA may adjust the amount paid to the program participant
when W grades change the student status to less time attended, such as from
full time to three-quarter time. The payment of adjustments is retroactive to
the first day of the term in which they are recorded, unless mitigating circumstances are submitted and accepted by the USVA.
All incomplete (I) grades must be completed in accordance with the department
chairs. A student may not register for a course to make up an incomplete grade.
The program participant must complete the course requirements within one
semester, changing the incomplete to a letter grade.
Mitigating Circumstances Mitigating circumstances are situations that
directly hinder a program participant's pursuit of a course and are judged
to be beyond the student's control. Students are encouraged to contact the
college's Veterans Affairs office to discuss mitigating circumstances and to file
educational benefits for auditing a course or for a course not used toward
graduation requirements, including any course from which the student
withdraws, unless there is a finding of mitigating circumstances causing the
withdrawal.

them with the USVA. The following are some general categories of mitigating
circumstances (the list is not all-inclusive):
1. Serious illness of the program participant or in the program participant's
immediate family
2. Financial obligations, which require a change in terms, hours, or
placement of employment precluding pursuit of a course
3. Discontinuance of a course by Santa Fe Community College
4. Active duty in military service, including active duty for training
5. Actions by the program participant such as seeking tutorial assistance,
SFCC Veterans Affairs counseling, and/or Santa Fe Community College
academic counseling in an attempt to remedy the unsatisfactory work
before withdrawal or completion
General Information The Montgomery GI Bill and other eligible programs
conducted by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs offer many
first generation college students a way to pay for their college education.
Generally, students should not expect to receive educational payments for up
to 90 days when applying for benefits for the first time, although payment is
made as of the first day of class. All program-eligible students are encouraged
to apply for student financial aid and all eligible military veterans are
encouraged to apply for the financial aid to enhance their GI Bill-earned
educational benefits.
All program-eligible participants have tutorial assistance and work study
available, provided by the USVA, and are encouraged to learn more about these
programs by contacting the college's Veterans Affairs office at (352) 395-5505.
Students are also encouraged to notify the college's VA office when there are
any problems with educational benefits.
Program participants are encouraged to monitor their educational benefits
by contacting the Atlanta Regional office of the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs at (888) 442-4551 or (888) GI BILL1.

Academic Objectives and Attendance
Santa Fe Community College is responsible for providing its students with a
learning-centered environment that includes educationally sound, high-quality
programs offered in an economical and efficient format. The continuation of
students who lack the ability, preparation or maturity to succeed is inconsistent
with the college's mission and its responsibility as a tax-supported institution.
A student's standing at Santa Fe Community College will be determined by the
relationship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in
good standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must earn
the grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 (C) cumulative grade point average while at Santa Fe.
Grade Point Deficit A grade point deficit is the difference between the
grade points needed for a C average and the grade points earned on hours
attempted. The following examples demonstrate this concept. It should be
noted that a student can go from a position of good standing to academic
warning, probation or suspension within one term.

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

This student earned 11 grade points in the second term. Added to the 30 grade
points from the first term, the student has earned 41 grade points. For the 27
credit hours attempted (12 + 15 = 27), the student would need 54 grade points
(27 times 2) to maintain a C average. Therefore, this student has a 13 grade
point deficit (54 -41 = 13) and will be placed on academic probation.

In this example, the student earned six grade points on 13 semester hours.
Thus, 13 times 2 = 26 grade points needed for a C average. Since only six grade
points were earned, this student would have a 20 point grade point deficit and,
therefore, would be suspended after just one term.
Academic Af fairs
Academic Warning, Probation and Suspension To complete degree and
certificate program requirements, students must meet SFCC's Standards of
Academic Progress:
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA will be placed on academic warning if
they have a grade point deficit of one to nine points.
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA will be placed on academic probation if
they have 10 or more, but fewer than 20, deficit points.
• Students with 20 or more deficit points will be suspended for one full semester (16 weeks).
• See the description of the Standards of Academic Progress (SLS1531) course
online in the classes section at Student Development Instruction.
This course is intended to help suspended students return to college successfully. Students readmitted after their suspension term or those who receive
suspension overrides should enroll in this course.
Withdrawals Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W
A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade,
repeat grades and withdrawals. An “attempt” is defined as an enrollment in
a course where any grade is assigned or the student withdraws and receives a
W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be
counted as an attempt.
The student will be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon
the third attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw and will receive a grade for that course.
Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on a third attempt, a
student must pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal to the Non-Florida
Resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be
granted by the college registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A
petition for waiver of the full fees must be requested before the end of drop/add
for the term or session in which the course is attempted for the third time. No
waivers are granted retroactively.
may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Records Office (Building R, room 101)
up until the official withdrawal date each term/session. The withdrawal date
for each term/session is available in the online calendar and via eSantaFe.

Academic Dismissal A student returning after suspension will be on
probation. If, at the end of the term he or she returns, the grade point deficit
is still 20 or more, the student will be dismissed from the college. Such a
student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one
full calendar year. After that time has passed, the student may petition the
college for possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear
written evidence of factors that indicate promise of successful performance.
Exception to the Academic Dismissal rule: A student who earns a semester GPA
of 2.5 or higher in the first semester after returning from suspension or dismissal will not be suspended, even if that student's overall deficit is more than
20 grade points. Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher
each term, the student will remain enrolled on academic probation until good
academic standing is achieved
Returning after Suspension/Dismissal A student returning after
suspension or dismissal will be on probation. If, at the end of the term he
or she returns, the grade point deficit is still 20 or more, the student will be
dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted
to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. After that time
has passed, the student may petition the college for possible readmission.
Favorable action is dependent upon clear written evidence of factors that
indicate promise of successful performance.
Exception to above rule: A student who earns a semester GPA of 2.5 or higher
in the first semester after returning from suspension or dismissal will not be
suspended, even if that student's overall deficit is more than 20 grade points.
Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher each term, the student will remain enrolled on academic probation until good academic standing
is achieved.
Transferring to Santa Fe with Deficit Grade Points All transfer
students will be evaluated by Santa Fe's Standards of Progress using the same
criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer students entering with
deficit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e. academic
warning or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade
points have been earned to achieve a C average.
Transient Status Santa Fe students wishing to attend another postsecondary
institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe Community College must
obtain permission from SFCC before enrolling at the other institution. Students
should fill out a transient form, seek advisement about courses they wish
to take, and have their status at SFCC certified in the Records Office before
enrolling at another institution. Transient forms are available online at

College Preparatory Program
Academic Foundations Department In support of academic achievement,
SFCC provides learning labs that offer individualized academic support in
mathematics, reading and writing. This service is offered to students at
all levels. Students may be referred to the labs by instructors or may seek
additional help independently. Lab instruction is offered on a one-to-one basis
or in small group sessions and is free of charge to SFCC students.
The ESL (EAP) program provides instruction in the spoken and written language for non-native English students. Students participate in small-group instruction and individual practice to develop the English language skills needed
to succeed in academic and vocational classes. Listening, speaking, reading,
writing and cultural adaptation are emphasized.
The Learning Labs are located at:

the failed course the following semester.
Students who complete REA0002 are required to register for REA2205 the
following semester. Students are strongly recommended to enroll in College
Composition (ENC1101) immediately after they complete college preparatory
reading and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to enroll
in MAT1033 after they complete MAT0024.
Rule 6A-10.0315(14) states that students enrolled in college preparatory
courses may be permitted to take courses concurrently in other curriculum
areas for which they are qualified. Students who test into college prep instruction must successfully complete the required college preparatory studies by
the time they have accumulated 12 hours of college credit course work or they
must maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory course work each
semester until the requirements are completed while performing satisfactorily
in the degree earning course work.
College preparatory students may not enroll in college credit courses that
require skills that are beyond the skill level of the student. Restricted collegelevel courses are flagged in the course schedule. Since students must maintain
continuous enrollment in required college preparatory course work to maintain
eligibility for enrollment in college-level courses, students may not drop a college preparatory course and remain registered in a college-level course.
The College Prep advisors located in G-41 are available to advise all college prep
and ESL (EAP) students.
Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in each college preparatory course. Withdrawal from a college preparatory course after the last day to
drop and receive a refund counts as an attempt. Since the state will fund only
two college preparatory attempts, students will pay the full tuition cost for the
third attempt, which is equivalent to out of state tuition. Exemptions may be
granted for extenuating circumstances. Petitions may be submitted at the College Prep Office, G-21.

Cooperative Education
Each cooperative education placement involves the student in the work site
search, which often resembles a competitive employment job search. The work
site may provide experience to the student as a paid job or as a volunteer work
experience, depending upon the employer's current human resource needs and
financial resources. Once a site is established, the student will work a minimum
of 10-20 hours per week and will receive financial compensation (if a paid site
has been developed) and one to three semester hours of credit for each co-op
work assignment. The student working 10-14 hours per week will receive one
semester hour of credit. The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive
two semester hours of credit. The student working 20-35 hours per week will
receive three semester hours of credit. A total of up to nine hours per year may
be earned. Supervisors at the students' work site evaluate students' performance during their cooperative education experience. The cooperative education coordinator utilizes experiential type reports and other assignments submitted by the student at the end of each term, combined with the performance
Courses offered by this program allow students to apply knowledge obtained

Degrees and Graduation
Santa Fe Community College grants three degrees: the Associate of Arts (A.A.),
the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate of Science (A.S.).
The Associate of Arts degree is awarded to those students who successfully
complete a program of study that is primarily designed to prepare them for
transfer to a senior institution. Students wishing to transfer should obtain
additional academic advisement from the upper division school to which they
expect to apply.
The requirements of the Associate of Arts degree are:
1. Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the General Education Program
(see Division of Arts and Sciences).
2. Complete at least 60 semester hours of credit in a prescribed course of
study with a minimum 2.0 grade point average (transfer students to SFCC
must have a 2.0 GPA on all A.A. course work attempted at SFCC as well as a
cumulative 2.0 GPA on all A.A. college course work attempted).
3. Complete the last 15 semester hours of course work at Santa Fe Community
College.
4. Complete the Computer Placement Examination (CPE).
5. Complete the CLAST.
6. File an application for graduation with the Office of Records.
7. Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.
The Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to students who successfully complete one of the Business, Health Sciences, Construction and Technical, Public Safety, or Information Technology Education Programs. These areas
of study are primarily designed to prepare students for immediate employment.
74
The requirements for the Associate of Applied Science degree are:
1. Complete an approved program of study of at least 60 semester hours, in
accordance with Florida standard credit hour length.
2. Complete a minimum of 15 semester hours from the following General

5. Complete the Computerized Placement Examination.
Students who wish to graduate in a given semester are expected to apply for
graduation at the Records Office before the semester deadline. Graduation
deadlines are noted in the SFCC calendar in this catalog. Graduating students
are invited to attend the graduation ceremonies, which are held in May and
December. Students who will be graduating in the summer semester may attend
either the spring or fall graduation, but names of summer graduates are printed
only in the December commencement program.
Catalog Year
Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements that must be fulfilled
for graduation. Students graduate under the catalog in effect at the time of
their initial enrollment at Santa Fe provided they maintain continuous enrollment (registration for and completion of at least one course for one full term in
an academic year).
Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment will be assigned the
catalog in effect at the time they readmit or resume enrollment. Students may
choose to graduate under the requirements of a later catalog but they must
fulfill all graduation requirements from that alternative catalog year.
A.A. degree students should consult with an academic advisor.
Academic Af fairs
The requirements for the Associate of Science degree are:
1. Complete an approved program, as specified, of at least 60 semester hours.
Program length will depend upon the established standard credit hour

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

The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the curriculum requirements appropriate to each student’s catalog year. However, courses and programs will sometimes be discontinued and requirements may change as a result
of curricular review or actions by accrediting associations and other agencies.
Experiential Learning
Santa Fe Community College recognizes and awards credit by experience in
some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send
requests for experiential-learning credit to the appropriate academic program
areas, following completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit Form.
The academic departments request the appropriate documentation from the
registrar to determine that another institution has not already credited the
student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit
are determined within each department. Experiential credits based on work
experience require a letter from the student's employer documenting time in
position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Experiential credit is usually granted only for internships. Credit granted through this process
is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential-learning
forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions.
Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS)
Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System. This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by 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 a 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.”

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.”
Academic Af fairs
General Rule for Course Equivalencies Equivalent courses at different
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 Course Prefix The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major
division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or sub-category of
knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which
a course is offered. Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned
prefix to identify the course.
Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses
Florida Department of Education Rule 6A-10.024(23) 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 States 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
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, SYG1010 is offered at a community college. The same course
is offered at a state university as SYG2010. A student who has successfully
completed SYG1010 at the community college is guaranteed to receive transfer
credit for SYG2010 at the state university if the student transfers. The student
cannot be required to take SYG2010 since SYG1010 is equivalent to SYG2010.
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 to offer transfer credit for
courses successfully completed which have not been designated as equivalent.

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. Credit so awarded
shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credit 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. HUM2905)
B. Internships, practica, clinical experiences and study abroad courses
C. Performance or studio courses in Art, Dance, Theater and Music
D. Skills courses in Criminal Justice
E. Graduate courses
F. Courses not offered by the receiving institutions
College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses may not be used to
meet degree requirements and are not transferable.
Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering System and appeals regarding
course credit transfer decisions should first be directed to Martha Morton in
SFCC's Curriculum, Scheduling, and Information Office, or the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be

or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial
aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Financial Aid office to
ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award.
4. Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade
points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X are not
included in total grade point averages.
Academic Honors List
Students in Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree programs are
eligible for the Academic Honors List in the fall and spring terms. Eligible
students must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per term, in courses other
than supplementary or college preparatory, and earn a minimum grade point
average of 3.5.
Honors Program
Qualified students are invited to participate in the Honors Program each term.
Every Honors course is specially noted on the official SFCC transcript. Upon
completion of the program requirements, students receive an Honors designation on the Associate of Arts degree, special recognition at graduation, and an
Honors Certificate. In order to graduate from the program with a certificate,
students must:
• complete at least 15 hours of Honors course work and
• maintain an overall 3.5 GPA
Admission Requirements
Current students are invited to join the program after meeting the following
criteria:
1. a 3.5 academic GPA and a minimum of 12 credit hours in A.A. degree or
A.S. degree course work at SFCC, and
2. two faculty recommendations and completion of application; OR
3. special approval by the Honors Program coordinator
Incoming students with strong high school records and test scores are also
accepted. Dual Enrollment and transfer students who are interested in Honors
courses are encouraged to meet with the Honors coordinator, Marisa McLeod, in
Building P, room 148.
The Honors Program offers the challenges and benefits of an enriched academic
experience to highly motivated students with outstanding records. The program
provides Honors sections of General Education or Business Programs classes as
well as special elective offerings. There are also Honors Option Contracts available for selected courses.

Individual Study
Individual Study will satisfy general education requirements for the Associate of Applied Science degree provided that no more than 3 semester hours of
credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts degree,
Individual Study may not be used to meet the general education requirements
although it may be used as elective credit.
No more than 3 semester hours of credit can be applied to any one Individual
Study request. An Individual Study may not duplicate any preexisting course
in the college curriculum. Forms are available at the Curriculum, Scheduling,
and Information Web site.
The Individual Study form and outline must be typed. The outline must include
objectives, texts and/or materials, meeting times with the designated instructor, and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student’s
responsibility rather than the instructor’s to prepare the outline. Individual
Study forms must be completed and submitted to the appropriate chairperson
or academic director by the first day of the term in which credit is to be awarded. Students must then submit the form to the Curriculum, Scheduling, and
Information Office, RAB-15, to have the course created. Students will register
for Individual Study courses with their copy of the form on or before the last
day to add classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual Study
credit is awarded and applied to the transcript at the end of the term.
Military Science
Air Force ROTC The Air Force Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) was
established to select and prepare students to serve as officers in the United
States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program is divided into two phases: the
first two years constitute the General Military Course and the last two the
Professional Officer Course. Full-time Santa Fe Community College students
are eligible to enroll in the General Military Course taught at the University of
Florida. Transferring at a later date to one of the more than 140 colleges and
universities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion of that course,
to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
The General Military Course, a two-year course, examines the role of U. S. military forces in the contemporary world with particular attention to the United
States Air Force, its organization and mission. The functions of strategic offensive and defensive forces, general purpose and aerospace support forces are
covered. The development of air power over the last 200 years is examined by
tracing the various concepts of employment of air power and by focusing on
factors which prompted research and technological change. A variety of events
and elements in the history of air power are stressed, especially where these
provide significant examples of the impact of air power on strategic thought.
80
To learn more or enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force
ROTC Detachment at the University of Florida, (352) 392-1355.
Training Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation by
taking this course of instruction and are eligible to compete for two- and
three-year scholarships. These scholarships can only be used at the University
of Florida or any other four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The
scholarships pay all tuition, textbooks, laboratory fees and other purely
educational expenses.
Students who successfully complete two years of college and the basic course
will be given a certificate of training allowing them, upon transfer, to enroll in
the Army ROTC Advanced Course. This leads to a reserve or regular commission
as a second lieutenant in the Active Army, Army Reserve or National Guard.
Students who do not transfer to an upper division college and who desire to
enlist in the Army may be able to do so at a higher pay level. To learn more or
enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Army ROTC Detachment at the
University of Florida, (352) 392-1395.

Fee Waivers
Sixty Plus Fee Waivers Santa Fe Community College will waive registration
fees (not lab, materials or access fees) for residents of Alachua and Bradford
Counties who are sixty years of age or older for all credit courses they enroll
in at the college on a space available basis. “Space Available” is defined as
the last day of drop/add for the term/session. Waivers will not be processed
in cases where the initial registration for the course was prior to that date.
No waivers are available for any Continuing Education courses. For Community
Education, registration waivers are available after pre-registration, if a class
has space available and has covered 125 percent of its operating costs. Some
Community Education classes do not offer Sixty Plus waivers. Verification of
age and address by driver's license, birth certificate or voter's registration card
must be provided when applying for the waiver.
Florida Statutes, Santa Fe Community College will waive tuition and fees
(excluding application, lab fees, or access fees) for state employees to enroll
for up to 6 credit hours of courses per term on a space-available basis (defined
as the last date of drop/add). Please note that Section 1009.265(5), F.S.
defines state employees as employees of the executive, legislative, and judicial
branches of state government and specifically excludes university employees.
Also, proviso language in the General Appropriations Act specifies that state
employees must be “full-time” employees. Waivers will not be granted for
courses where the initial registration was prior to the last date of drop/add.
Eligible employees should bring documentation from their employer to the
cashier’s office in the Robertson Administration Building.
Specialized Group Study
Specialized Group Study will satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in the areas of Communications/Humanities, Math/Science and Social/Behavioral Sciences, provided that no more

than three semester hours of such credit are applied to any one specific area.
For the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree and the Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees, however, Specialized Group Study may not be used to meet the General
Education requirements, although it may be used as elective credit.
Testing and Examinations
The Assessment Center in G-25 provides college entry assessment and other assessment activities, including CLAST advisement and registration.
College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) The College Level
Academic Skills Test (CLAST) is a part of the Florida system of educational
accountability. The CLAST measures students' achievement of college-level
communication and mathematics skills. It consists of four subtests: essay,
English language skills, reading and mathematics.
SFCC students need to take the CLAST when they earn 18 A.A. degree hours,
including grades of C or better in ENC1101, ENC1102 and a college-level mathematics course at MAC1105 or higher. Students are required to pass all four
subtests or earn exemptions in accordance with the Rule to earn an Associate of Arts degree and to be admitted to most upper division programs in the
Florida State University System.
Students who fail any subtest are required to remediate skills in the CLAST Lab
prior to retaking the CLAST. A fee is charged for CLAST retakes. State financial
aid students who fail to take the CLAST by the time they have earned 60 hours
jeopardize their financial aid status.
For further CLAST information, contact the CLAST office in G-25.

Students may take the English Language Skills, Reading and Mathematics
portions of the CLAST at their own convenience in the Assessment Center once
they have completed preparation in the CLAST Lab. To take the CLAST in the
Assessment Center, students are required to submit authorization from the
CLAST Lab. This authorization is granted after students work in the CLAST Lab
and demonstrate that they are ready to take the test. The Essay portion is only
administered three times a year on the above dates. Students must register for
the Essay by the above registration deadlines.
the 21st century, Santa Fe Community College has implemented a Computer
Placement Exam (CPE) for all degree-seeking students entering, transferring,
or readmitting in Fall 2001 or later. Computer or online courses that are less
than 3 years old may exempt the student from taking the CPE. Students who
are exempt based on courses will see a 992 on their transcript for the CPE. The
CPE requirement reflects the college's recognition that computer literacy is an
indispensable skill for academic achievement as well as for a successful career
after graduation.

The Computer Placement Exam (CPE) As a graduation requirement for
The CPE, administered by computer in the Assessment Center, covers basic
knowledge of a PC with Windows and Microsoft Word, sending e-mail, and
navigating the Internet through Internet Explorer. A score of 70 percent is
considered passing. The CPE can be taken all year on a walk-in basis at the Assessment Center in G-25 or by appointment at the Blount, Davis and Andrews
Centers.
Incoming students must take the CPE prior to completing 24 credit hours at
SFCC. Students are required to pass the CPE prior to graduation. Students who
do not pass the CPE the first time are offered options for remediation, including
a self-paced tutorial that can be purchased in the SFCC Bookstore. Students may
also take a tutorial through the Big Open Lab (BOL) in N-216.
For more detailed information, visit the CPE Web page at www.sfcc.edu.
Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for
Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College-Level
Examination Program (CLEP) exams. Public community colleges and universities in Florida are required to award credit for AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES, AICE, and
Excelsior College exams as designated. Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit. Institutions may not award credit for scores below those
listed by the ACC. SFCC students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours of course
credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed below; however, a maximum of 30 hours may be awarded for the IB diploma. Score minimums, credit
hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of examinations
developed by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) that allows students to
demonstrate competency in certain subjects and earn college credit for those
courses without attending classes. The required levels of performance on the
examinations and the specific courses for which credit may be granted are
subject to change according to the decisions of a statewide committee.
The CLEP examination may be taken at SFCC, the University of Florida or any
center authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board. The student
is responsible for having all scores submitted to the SFCC Office of Records
(Building R, room 101). The results are evaluated and recorded on the student's
transcript if credit is earned. Transfer students must have all transcripts on
file from their previous institutions prior to having CLEP credit awarded. There
is no charge for posting credits. Semester hours toward graduation are recorded
as "credit by examination" with no grades or quality points given. These credits do not affect a student's grade point average.
Credit for the general and subject examinations may be earned in those areas
where students have not already earned academic credit. Credit for the examinations may be earned as listed in the following table, provided the student
has not already earned credit for the particular course(s) for which Santa Fe
could give examination credit. Credit is not awarded for a basic course in areas
where advanced course credit has been earned. No examination may be repeated in an attempt to receive credit. Score minimums, credit hours awarded,
and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination

Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)
The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement,
are not built around curriculum, but rather are designed to test students’
knowledge of a variety of college-level subjects, regardless of where they may
have learned the material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount
of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned.
Contact the Records office for further information.
Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE)
The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and
assessment program equivalent to the British system of “A-Levels.” Transfer
of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended
minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with
no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Records office for further
information.
Excelsior College Examinations Excelsior College Examinations (formerly
known as the Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Examination
Program) are developed by Excelsior College using national committees
of faculty consultants and national studies to assess how well the tests
measure the performance of students in actual college courses. Excelsior
College Examinations are approved by the American Council on Education,
and Excelsior College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association of
College and Schools (MSACS). Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation
Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum
amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points
assigned. Contact the Records office for further information.
Department Credit by Examination Students wishing to earn course
credit by passing a departmental examination should consult the department
in which the course is taught. Students may not apply for course credit
through an SFCC Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is available.
Students should be aware that SFCC Credit Examinations may not be offered
for certain courses due to the nature of a particular course's content.
Students may not take an examination for credit in a course if they have attempted the course at SFCC (receiving either an A, B, C, D, F, I or W for work
attempted) or if they have earned credit for an advanced course in that area.
Decisions about the relevancy of particular advanced courses will be made by
instructors giving the examination. Credit by examination will not be counted
in student course loads, but will be averaged into student grade point averages.
Credit by examination will not be available during the period between official
college terms or on official college holidays.
Procedure for SFCC Department Credit by Examination
90
1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the
offices of academic chairpersons and directors.
Academic Af fairs
2. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chair or
director. If the application is approved, the chair or director will explain
how the examination will be administered according to current procedures.
Depending on the discipline or program area, either individual examination dates for each student or a common examination date for all students
will be set each term.
3. Requests are presented to the appropriate chair or director for approval
(signature).
4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier's window for payment of the $15
examination fee.
5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area
examiner indicated in Step 2 above.
6. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner will forward results
(application) to the appropriate office and telephone that office to verify
the test grade. The completed examination will be placed in the division's
Credit by Examination file for the discipline or program area.
7. Students must then return to the office where the application was made,
pick up a copy of the signed form and take it to the Office of Records for
final recording. Students must allow one week after completion of the
examination before picking up the copy from the appropriate office.
8. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time after the lapse of
one full academic term beyond the term in which the first attempt was
made. Students may not attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in
the same course.
Tech Prep Acceleration Credit Tech Prep credit is a mechanism of
accelerated college credit that may be employed during the high school years.
Students who have earned sufficiently high grades in Tech Prep classes while
in high school and who have passed an exam formulated and administered
by Santa Fe Community College may receive college credit upon request after
registering at SFCC. Santa Fe Community College will not accept Tech Prep
credit that is earned at a high school with whom we have no prior articulation
agreement.

Mission
94
The Liberal Arts and Sciences further the college's mission by
• providing a strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate of Arts degree;
• preparing students with diverse backgrounds and goals for careers, further academic study, and lifelong learning;
• creating intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills;
• building an awareness of self, diverse opinions and cultures, and one's responsibility within the global community;
• promoting the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline areas; and
• providing a personalized, supportive learning environment that
challenges students to achieve high levels of academic performance.
Purpose
The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for students to
• attain a broad-based education through courses in written and oral
communication, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, history,
humanities and creative arts;
• complete programs of study that will lead to the Associate of Arts degree;
• complete their general education courses, electives, and prerequisites for
Associate of Science and certificate programs;
• pursue university-parallel programs of study leading toward a
baccalaureate degree; and
• become lifelong learners.
Programs of Study
Philosophy
The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences believes all students deserve
the opportunity to strive for academic excellence in an environment
that both respects and supports diverse learners. The division provides a
multidisciplinary breadth of knowledge from the perspectives of a wide range
of academic subjects. This foundation prepares students for success in higher
education, career and personal goals.
Associate of Arts Degree
In keeping with the articulation agreement between state universities and public community colleges in Florida, each institution granting the Associate of
Arts degree sets its own general education requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours required for the degree. By law, the articulation agreement provides that every Associate of Arts graduate of a Florida community
college be granted admission to the upper division of a state university except
to a limited access or teacher certification program or a major program requiring an audition. Students earning the Associate of Arts degree and transferring
to one of Florida's public universities will not be required by the university to
take additional general education courses.
Although the Associate of Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or
area of concentration, students are advised early in their academic careers to
be aware of the upper division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within the required general education
core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition,
the Associate of Arts degree requires 24 hours of electives, which should be
carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to upper division. Although the college will make every attempt to advise students
The college offers the Associate of Arts degree to students wishing to transfer
to a four-year college upon graduation from Santa Fe Community College.
95
www.sfcc.edu
concerning upper division requirements for the various majors, students are
urged to become familiar with the requirements of the upper division universities to which they plan to transfer. Students must select a program major by
the time they complete 24 college credit hours. With the help of their advisors, students should choose electives that will be most advantageous in the
pursuit of their intended bachelor's degrees. Each upper division university
annually publishes counseling manuals for every major offered at that institution. Each state university has a designated articulation officer to facilitate
the transfer of community college graduates to the State University System.
Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree
• Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the general education program.
• Complete at least 60 semester hours of credit in a prescribed course of study with a minimum 2.0 grade point average. Select courses from those assigned "P" (Parallel) and "D" (Dual). Courses designated "O" (Occupational) are usually not accepted by upper division institutions.
• Meet Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon Rule). Courses marked with an asterisk (*)
will meet a portion of this rule.
• Pass or earn exemptions from all subtests of the College Level Academic
Skills Test (CLAST).
• Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.
• File an application for graduation with the Office of Records.
General Education
General education is the core preparation for lifelong learning. It fosters a
disciplined curiosity that leads to exploring the foundations and ranges of
knowledge in the arts and sciences. The general education program at Santa Fe
Community College develops the student's professional, intellectual and social
skills, thereby facilitating understanding of, and involvement in, cultural,
political and natural environments. General education provides critical competencies students need to succeed in the workplace, to transfer education, and
in today’s society.
Specifically, the student will

learn how to acquire, organize, evaluate, verify, present, interpret and
use information from various programs of study;
sharpen problem-solving skills through deductive and inductive
reasoning, analysis, synthesis, and collaboration;
develop the skills necessary to evaluate social, political, cultural and
scientific bodies of knowledge, their historical development and their
continuing influence;
gain an appreciation for diversity in the world community; and
understand the importance of civic and social participation and
informed decision making.
1. In addition to assessments that may be adopted by the State Board of Education or Board of Governors to measure student achievement in collegelevel communication and computation skills, other assessment requirements shall be met by successful completion of course work in English and
mathematics. For the purposes of this rule, a grade of C or higher shall be
considered successful completion.
2. Prior to receipt of an Associate of Arts degree from a public community
college or university or prior to entry into the upper division of a public
university or college, a student shall complete successfully the following.
a. Six (6) semester hours of English course work and six (6) semester hours
of additional course work in which the student is required to demonstrate
college-level writing skills through multiple assignments. Each institution shall designate the courses that fulfill the writing requirements
of this section. These course designations shall be submitted to the
Statewide Course Numbering System. An institution to which a student
transfers shall accept courses so designated by the sending institution as
meeting the writing requirements outlined in this section.
b. Six (6) semester hours of mathematics course work at the level of college
algebra or higher. For the purposes of this rule, applied logic, statistics
and other such computation course work, which may not be placed within
a mathematics department, may be used to fulfill three (3) hours of the
six (6) hours required by this section.
c. Students awarded college credit in English based on their demonstration
of writing skills through dual enrollment, advanced placement, or international baccalaureate instruction pursuant to Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., and
students awarded college credit based on their demonstration of mathematics skills at the level of college algebra or higher through one (1) or
more of the acceleration mechanisms in Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., shall be
considered to have satisfied the requirements in subsection 6A-10.030(2),
F.A.C., to the extent of the college credit awarded.
3. Exemptions and Waivers. Any public community college or university
desiring to exempt its students from the requirements of subsection 6A10.030(2), F.A.C., shall submit an alternative plan to the Department of
Education. Upon approval of the plan by the Department, the plan shall
be submitted to the State Board of Education or the Board of Governors as
appropriate. Upon approval by the State Board of Education or the Board of
Governors, said plan shall be deemed effective in lieu of the requirements
of subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C.

Gordon Rule (6A-10.030)
The general education requirements at Santa Fe Community College are met
by a minimum of 36 credit hours representing communication and mathematical skills and introductions to, or surveys of, the academic areas of history,
humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, and creative arts. A focus on the
diversity of the human condition can be accomplished from the perspective of
any one of these areas.
97
www.sfcc.edu
Gordon Rule Writing Courses Santa Fe Community College has established
the following rationale for identifying writing intensive courses that may
be used to satisfy the college-level writing portion of the Gordon Rule (2a
above):
A writing-intensive course is a content specific course that has as major
instructional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial disciplinebased writing component that consists of teacher assessed college level writing assignments. College-level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills
to discuss a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appropriate diction,
conventions, and rhetorical strategies.
In a writing-intensive course, students are expected to produce a substantial
amount of disciplined-based writing of which the majority is assessed by faculty towards refining college level writing skills in a specific discipline.

Degree and Certificate Programs
Automotive Service Management Technology 2604
The Santa Fe Community College A.A.S. degree in Automotive Service Management
Technology is a two-year program designed to upgrade the technical competence
and the professional level of the incoming technician. The curriculum is designed
by the college in cooperation with local dealership personnel and independent
repair facility owners.
The program involves not only classroom lectures and laboratory experiences on
modern vehicles and components at the college, but also requires the student to
work at a local dealership or independent repair facility. The program is unique
in design and is divided between specific periods of on-campus study and training followed by an equal amount of work experience at the sponsoring agency.
For example, the first semester involves eight weeks of classroom and lab time on
campus followed by eight weeks of work experience time. Then the student returns
to SFCC for eight weeks of study in another specialized area followed by eight weeks
of related work experience. This rotation continues until the two-year program is
completed. The cooperative work experience is a paid experience and the work time
can be credited toward the ASE certification work experience requirement.

Earn while you learn is the philosophy of SFCC's Apprenticeship Program. The
construction industry needs carpenters, plumbers, and A/C and heating technicians. Because it does, you have worlds of opportunity when you learn a valuable trade through one of these apprenticeships. You can expect to earn a good
salary as you work your way up to the level of contractor.
Apprenticeships provide the individual who is working in the field an opportunity to learn the technical aspects of a trade in the classroom while applying
this knowledge on the job. The combination of these two aspects prepares the
apprentice to advance through the trade at an accelerated rate. Apprentices
earn a guaranteed wage throughout the training with incremental steps at various stages in the program.
Programs of Study
Apprenticeship Program
Students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. The
length of the program is four years. Classroom activities in conjunction with
on-the-job training prepare the students to perform as tradesmen upon completion. Students not currently employed in the field will be assisted in seeking
employment with sponsoring contractors. The program is sponsored by the
Builders Association of North Central Florida (BANCF).

Cardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with three of the most serious health problems
in the United States today—heart, lung, and vascular diseases.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is five semesters of classroom, laboratory, and clinical instruction. The final two semesters are spent in clinical specialization rotations in cardiovascular and pulmonary laboratories throughout
the Southeast. Students who complete the program are awarded an Associate
of Science degree in Cardiovascular Technology. Excellent career opportunities
await graduates.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is one of the oldest and most established programs of its type in the United States. It is accredited by the Joint
Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology and the Florida
Department of Health. Program instruction is consistent with curriculum
frameworks as administered by the Florida Department of Education. Graduates
are eligible to take national certification examinations.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program consists of four specialty areas:
Invasive Cardiology
Working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the technologist helps
the physician perform invasive diagnostic tests to assess the condition of a
patient's cardiovascular system. Additionally, the technologist helps the physician with interventional techniques such as balloon angioplasty and pacemaker
implantation procedures designed to help alleviate existing cardiac problems.
Pulmonary Functions Testing
The technologist working in the pulmonary functions testing laboratory uses
computer supported equipment in performing diagnostic tests to detect the
presence and severity of pulmonary diseases. Tests performed include spirometry, lung volume testing, diffusion studies, arterial blood gas analysis, bronchoscopy, polysomnography (sleep studies), and exercise metabolic studies.
Cardiac Ultrasound
150
In the non-invasive cardiology laboratory, the technologist uses ultrasound
technology to produce an image of the heart. The cardiac ultrasound study or
echocardiogram can help identify normal heart structure and function and cardiac abnormalities such as valvular problems, flow irregularities, and decreased
cardiac function. Associated tests include electrocardiography (ECG), Holter
monitoring and assisting the physician with exercise stress testing, stress
echocardiography, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultrasound imaging, Doppler, spectral analysis and a variety of physiologic testing procedures to image
and evaluate blood flow in the veins and arteries throughout the body. These
diagnostic modalities are particularly useful in evaluating patients who are at
risk for strokes and peripheral vascular diseases. Recent advancements in vascular ultrasound include transcranial Doppler, dialysis access site evaluation, renal
ultrasound, and abdominal vascular ultrasound.

Dental Hygiene/Traditional/Bridge
The role of the dental hygienist is a challenging and demanding one requiring developed critical thinking skills. While the primary focus of the dental
hygienist is maintenance of oral health, the hygienist may also participate in
supportive and expanded functions as delegable by the State Dental Practice
Act. Preventive and maintenance services include scaling and polishing, sealants, X-rays, fluoride treatment, patient education, and specialized therapies of
root planing and curettage.
The Associate of Science degree program in Dental Hygiene offers two opportunities to complete the program. The Dental Hygiene Traditional program is a
two-year program with class and clinic commitments of 35-40 hours per week
with some evening clinics and classes. The Dental Hygiene Bridge program is a
15-month program with class and clinic commitments of 35-40 hours per week
with some clinics and classes in the evening. The Bridge program is designed
for graduates of American Dental Association accredited dental assisting programs who have a minimum of one year chair-side dental assisting work experience after graduation from the program and who are currently certified by the
Dental Assisting National Board (DANB). Each Bridge student must demonstrate
competency in all dental assisting skills.
The Dental Hygiene program is designed to educate the dental hygiene student
to work in private practice, research, institutional, or public health settings.
Course work includes knowledge of the dental health care system, anatomic,
biological and applied sciences and dental public health. The program offers
clinical experiences in settings such as the Veterans Administration health care
facility, the University of Florida College of Dentistry, and the ACORN Clinic in
addition to the SFCC Dental Clinic. Graduates of the Traditional Dental Hygiene
program earn an A.S., a certificate in Florida Expanded Functions and are eligible to take the Dental Assisting National Board Examination. Upon completion
of the Dental Hygiene program students are eligible to sit for Dental Hygiene
National Boards and state licensure examinations.
Applicants should contact the Health Sciences Counseling office (W-002) or call
(352) 395-5650. Approximate enrollment and expense information are included in
the materials available from the counseling office or Web site at www.sfcc.edu.

Nuclear Medicine Technology
Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) is a medical specialty in which low-level radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) are used for diagnosis and treatment
of disease. Nuclear medicine technologists work in three major areas: organ imaging, radionuclide analysis of biological specimens, and radionuclide therapy.
The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in
Nuclear Medicine Technology and the State of Florida Department of Education, and is conducted in cooperation with Shands at AGH, Shands at UF,
North Florida Regional Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Munroe
Regional Medical Center, Ocala Regional Medical Center, and several outpatient
cardiac practices.
The NMT Program’s mission statement is: To provide a comprehensive, competency based, accredited nuclear medicine technology curriculum to prepare
a diverse group of students with entry level skills needed to perform quality
nuclear medicine procedures; while helping to provide all patients with the
best possible care. Thus a goal of the NMT Program is to develop competent
and professional nuclear medicine technologists, who by virtue of theory and
practice are proficient in contemporary facets of nuclear medicine technology,
are capable of passing the certification examination, and have a high degree of
adaptability in a changing technology. A further aim is to develop qualities of
leadership necessary for teaching and health care administration.
Students are admitted in the fall term each year and complete twenty-two (22)
months of combined academic and clinical education. Based upon a 40 hour per
week schedule, students spend an average of 40 percent of their time in professional and general education courses at the college. The remaining time is spent
in the college laboratory or in hospitals, obtaining a complete range of supervised clinical experience.
162
Upon completion of the program, students receive an Associate of Science
degree and a program certificate from Santa Fe Community College. Graduates
are eligible to take the national certification examinations administered by the
American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. Persons passing the national examination(s) qualify
for a Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist License from the State of Florida
without additional testing.

Radiography
Radiographers exercise initiative and independent judgment in the performance
of X-ray examinations for diagnosis of disease and injury. They also assist
radiologists in fluoroscopic and special vascular procedures. Radiographers are
in demand in nearly every community—in hospitals, physicians’ offices, clinics,
government, education, industry and research.
Radiographers operate X-ray equipment, provide patient care, provide radiation
protection, position patients for examination, select technical factors for optimum radiographic quality, produce and process radiographs, maintain quality
control and maintain patients’ records. Other duties include use of mobile X-ray
equipment in the emergency room, operating room and at the patient’s bedside.
Other imaging modalities used by radiographers include ultrasound, CT scanning, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
The Radiography Program’s mission statement is: “To provide a comprehensive,
competency-based radiologic curriculum to prepare a diverse group of graduates with entry-level skills needed to perform quality radiologic procedures and
provide the patient with the best possible care.”
The goal of the program is to develop competent, entry-level radiographers who
have the necessary knowledge to pass the certification examination and can
adapt to changing technology. The Radiography Program also aims to develop
leadership qualities necessary for teaching and health care administration.
The program is conducted in cooperation with Shands at AGH, Shands at UF,
North Florida Regional Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and several hospital-affiliated outpatient imaging facilities. The Radiography Program
is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and by the State of Florida Department of Education.
Students are admitted in the fall term each year and complete twenty-two (22)
months of combined academic and clinical education. Based upon a 40 hour per
week schedule, students spend an average of 40 percent of their time in professional and general education courses at the college. The remaining time is spent
in the college laboratory or in hospitals, obtaining a complete range of supervised clinical experience including the latest imaging modalities.
164
Upon completion of the program, students receive an Associate of Science
degree and are eligible to take the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). ARRT certified radiographers qualify to obtain a Certified General Radiographer License
from the State of Florida without additional testing.

Sonography, better known as Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) at Santa Fe
Community College, is a 12-month certificate program conducted in cooperation
with local hospitals, imaging centers and hospitals in surrounding urban and
rural settings. The program correlates classroom theory and laboratory experiences to provide a balance of courses to set the stage for students’ clinical
competencies. Students’ clinical competency performance expectations increase
with their tenure in the program.
The program was designed to accept those individuals already certified in an
imaging science (Cardiovascular Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, and
Radiography). However, it has expanded to include nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, and persons possessing baccalaureate degrees (the expanded
group must complete required prerequisite course work).
Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examinations offered
by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and the American
Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
Diagnostic medical sonography is a dynamic entity of the imaging sciences,
which has grown rapidly over the past few years. The growth of sonography
is projected to continue, which will lead to many employment opportunities
nationwide. Salaries are very competitive when compared to other professions
requiring similar levels of education.
Typically, sonographers are employed in clinics, hospitals, imaging centers, and
physicians’ offices. Following additional academic preparation, other career
opportunities may become available in areas such as education, management,
research and technical advisement.

Respiratory Care is a specialty instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, management and preventive care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems. These
patients may suffer from a variety of acute and chronic respiratory conditions
which may be life threatening or disabling, such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema, emphysema, congenital defects, drowning, hemorrhage, shock,
and trauma. Through proper respiratory care and management, many patients
who might not have survived can now return to active lives. The respiratory
therapist is a life-support specialist. During emergency calls, which often are
life or death situations, respiratory therapists are responsible for life support of
the patient through airway management, artificial ventilation, external cardiac
massage, and additional sophisticated emergency support measures. Respiratory
therapists manage mechanical ventilators—machines that can provide all of the
breathing for patients who can't breathe on their own. Respiratory therapists
must be proficient in many areas, including the administration of oxygen and
therapeutic aerosols, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary
function studies, blood gas retrieval and analysis, and physiologic monitoring.
Programs of Study
Respiratory Care
The Respiratory Care Program at Santa Fe Community College is fully accredited
by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care. The program prepares
its graduates to take virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by
the National Board for Respiratory Care. The program provides a sound technical
and theoretical base from which the student can have the educational advantage of lateral and upward mobility. An advanced standing policy is available
for those applicants and students with previous respiratory therapy experience
and/or education.

The Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a key member of the surgical team who
anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges
during surgery in an efficient manner. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST
may be involved in holding retractors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the
operative site, or cutting suture material. The surgical technologist must perform
under pressure in stressful and emergency situations, have a strong sense of responsibility, considerable patience, manual dexterity and physical stamina. CSTs ensure
that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly,
and that the operative procedure is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may
act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound,
suturing and other technical functions.
Programs of Study
Surgical Technology
Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical
team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulatory care centers. Employment opportunities exist in medical
sales and management roles in surgical services. In addition, CSTs are employed
directly by surgeons as "private scrubs" and/or surgical first assistants. They
are utilized in clinics, physicians' offices, and in home health care. Combining a
broad educational background with a specialized focus, CSTs may work in cardiac
catheterization laboratories, delivery rooms, medical sales, product development,
management roles in surgical services and research. Laser technology, biomedical
engineering, technical writing, photography, illustration, and medical-legal auditing are other areas in which their education has valuable application. They have
served in the Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number are
instructors and directors of surgical technology programs.

Emergency Medical Services Programs
Associate Director, Louis Mallory, M.B.A., REMT-P
Program Advisor:
Mr. Louis Kalivoda
Faculty:
The Emergency Medical Services Programs at Santa Fe Community College consist
of a First Responder course, First Aid, the Emergency Medical Technician Certificate Program, the Paramedic Certificate Program and Emergency Medical Services A.S./A.A.S. degree. These programs prepare individuals to deliver patient care
at the scene of an emergency, in an ambulance, with fire rescue, in an emergency department, in the military and in many other areas of health care.
The A.S./A.A.S. degree in EMS is also applicable for people who are currently
employed in these fields and who want to improve their skills for career development. Students must demonstrate competency in reading, writing, oral communication, and fundamental mathematical and computer skills. The program
advisor will provide details when the student enters the degree track.
The emergency medical technician is a professional who delivers basic life support care. The EMT certificate is a one-semester college credit program consisting of classroom, lab, hospital emergency department, and ambulance clinical
components. Although this is considered a part-time program, at least 25 hours
per week and a flexible schedule are required. Upon successful completion of
all components of the EMT program, the student may be eligible to take the
National Registry and/or the State of Florida EMT Certification Examination.
186
The Paramedic Program is a college credit certificate program, which is a minimum of 1100 clock hours in length (one year). The student will learn advanced
life support patient care and procedures. The program consists of classroom,
lab, hospital clinical and ambulance clinical components. This program, like
EMT, requires a strong desire and commitment to the profession. Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, the student may
be eligible to take the National Registry and/or the State of Florida Paramedic
Certification Examination. The Paramedic Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the
Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical
Services Professions (CoAEMSP).

Paramedic Program
Program Advisor:
Mr. Louis Kalivoda
Faculty:
The Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit program that is a minimum of 1100 clock hours in length and takes three full semesters to complete.
Current Florida certification as an emergency medical technician is required
prior to applying for entry into the Paramedic Program. The program begins in
August of each year and requires a special application and acceptance process.
Paramedics utilize advanced medical skills combined with the skills learned
in EMT to render care in a variety of situations and settings. A paramedic is
a member of the health care team that provides advanced life support to save
lives jeopardized by trauma, cardiac events or other illnesses. Paramedics often
make critical patient care decisions in situations where seconds and minutes
can mean the difference between life and death. Paramedics are often called
upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make
decisions, defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, and function under tremendous stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to have
a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build. Santa Fe Community
College’s Paramedic Program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee
for the Accreditation of EMT-Paramedic Programs.
Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program,
students may take the State of Florida Paramedic Certification or the National
Registry Examination. Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification, Anatomy and Physiology** course (as either BSC2084/L OR BSC2085/L
and 2086/L), Medical Terminology (HSC2531) and American Heart Association
health care provider CPR, or its equivalent.
**Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semester Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).
