Statement of Vision, Values and Mission
Mission/Vision Adding value to the lives of our students and enriching our
community
Values Santa Fe Community College is a dynamic, innovative learning
community committed to:
• Academic excellence, academic freedom, and intellectual pursuit
• Individual and social responsibility
• Honesty, integrity, and civility
• Collaboration with our community
• Open access
• Lifelong learning
• Assessment, accountability, and improvement
The Northwest Campus, which opened in 1972, is set on 175 acres in Gaines-
ville 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 rail-
road 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 build-
ing 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
17
www.sfcc.edu
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. Jack-
son 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 learn-
ing 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 Associ-
ate 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 institu-
tion, 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. Commu-
nity 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 semes-
ters, SFCC has classes in a half semester "Flexterm" format, evening and "Ear-
lybird" 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 Lan-
guages Institute, an Honors Program, a speech and debate team, and an Inter-
national 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 refur-
bished 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.
The student-centered learning environment at SFCC is sustained by a network
of counselors, advisors and helpful programs. Academic advisors give
18
advice on classes to take. The student development offices help students decide
College Information
upon a career or further higher education. Academic support programs offer
tutoring and personal attention to help if students have difficulty in a subject.
Veterans are honored with an active ROTC program and a Veterans Affairs of-
fice that serves students at SFCC and the University of Florida.
Campus life is rounded out with a student government, student clubs, activi-
ties 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 communi-
ty. The Dance Theatre of Santa Fe and Theatre Santa Fe hold numerous perfor-
mances 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 Brad-
ford County.
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, fos-
sils and exhibits.
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.

Santa Fe Community College
Blount Center In 1988 the City of Gainesville deeded the old train depot
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
22 responsibility of the Endowment Corporation. All funds for this project came
from the private sector and involved the establishment of a major steering
College Information
committee composed of approximately 20 business and community leaders who
served as "ambassadors of good will" throughout the community.
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
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 eve-
nings. These college classes, along with the regular day classes, make it easier
for individuals to fit a college class into their busy schedules.
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.
Santa Fe Community College
In the spring of 2006 the new Charles L. Blount General Classroom Building
opened. It contains approximately 10,000 square feet, 10 classrooms, a comput-
er 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 profes-
sional 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 support-
ing 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 Edu-
cation division, and the Computer Institute.
23
www.sfcc.edu
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 leader-
ship 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 Heights-
Lake 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 ad-
ditional 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 attend-
ing college from a personal computer via the Internet, students can continue
24
their education while still managing a job, family activities or other classes.
College Information
The calendar is the same as for traditionally delivered classes, starting and
ending on the same dates. However, students can set their daily work schedule
by connecting to the course materials and activities via the Web whenever it is
convenient and from anywhere the Internet can be accessed.
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
site at www.sfcc.edu.
SFCC student benefits including the library, cultural events, computer labs,
and an SFCC e-mail address. All seminar programs are free and open to the
public, members and non-members alike. Visit online at www.sfcc.edu.
Center for Business The Center for Business at Santa Fe Community Col-
lege provides opportunities for professional workforce skill enhancement and
Continuing Education training serving Alachua and Bradford Counties. Classes
at the Center for Business allow individuals to enhance their skills or receive
training to help them achieve or recertify professional licenses. Learning
opportunities are available to anyone regardless of race, color, creed, sex or
marital status. Class subjects range from computer technology training and
time management skills to CPR, child development, insurance and business
skills, as well as industry-specific workforce training. No Sixty Plus waivers are
available for Continuing Education classes. Visit online at www.sfcc.edu.

Santa Fe Community College
Admissions
Santa Fe Community College, in cooperation with the School Boards of Ala-
chua 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 af-
filiated 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.
3. Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Juniors and seniors may enroll in the full-time
Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Program. All students must qualify through the
CPT, SAT, or ACT. Once accepted, students register for College Fine Arts,
high school and/or college academic course work to fulfill high school
graduation requirements. College Fine Arts courses also apply toward an
Associate of Arts degree. College placement scores determine eligibility for
college level work. Fine Arts students select a major and enroll in 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 gradu-
ation and an Associate of Arts degree. Eligibility is based on a combina-
tion 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 partici-
pate 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 addi-
tional 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) 395-
5490. 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
Santa Fe Community College has a comprehensive assessment and placement
program to help students succeed in college. Rule 6A-10.315, College Prepa-
ratory 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 registra-
tion, 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 assess-
ment procedures:
38
1. Degree seeking students may submit test scores from one of the state-ap-
Admissions
proved 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) por-
tion 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.
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.
Note: Test scores that are more than two years old are not acceptable for entry
Santa Fe Community College
course placement. New students or readmit students will take the computer lit-
eracy examination as part of their entry.
The purpose of college entry assessment is to determine the appropriate cours-
es 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.

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, math-
ematics and the natural sciences.
• In the case of a student who is home educated, a signed affidavit submit-
ted 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 Ser-
vices Office for an International Student application.
• Official high school transcript or GED diploma.
Transfer Students
Transfer students (those students who have attended any postsecondary insti-
tution) must furnish a complete official transcript or record from each institu-
tion 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 col-
lege preparatory or Gordon Rule course.
40
In accordance with §1001.64(8)(a), F.S., Santa Fe Community College may
Admissions
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 repre-
sent a safety risk to Santa Fe students, employees or property. Applicants/stu-
dents 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.
Residence Classification
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 clas-
sification or the Records Office if you would like to petition to reclassify your
residency status.
42
1009.21 Determination of resident status for tuition purposes
Admissions
Students shall be classified as residents or non-residents for the purpose of
assessing tuition fees in public community colleges and universities.
(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 oc-
cupied 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 guard-
ian 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 depen-
dent 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 main-
taining a mere temporary residence or abode incident to enrollment in an
Santa Fe Community College
Admissions
where, 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 institu-
tion of higher education while classified as a resident for tuition purposes
and who subsequently abandons his domicile in this state shall be permit-
ted to re-enroll at an institution of higher education in this state as a resi-
dent 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 continu-
ously maintains the re-establishment domicile during the period of enroll-
ment. 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 ac-
tive members of the Florida National Guard who qualify under s. 250.10(7)
and (8) for the tuition assistance program.
(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.
(c) United States citizens living on the Isthmus of Panama, who have com-
pleted 12 consecutive months of college work at the Florida State Univer-
sity Panama Canal Branch, and their spouses and dependent children.

Veterans Services
All veterans and other eligible persons are encouraged to call or visit the
Santa Fe Community College
SFCC Veterans Affairs office located in Building R, room 103 on the Northwest
Campus. Santa Fe Community College is approved for the education and train-
ing of veterans and other eligible persons under all public laws now in effect.
Students who may be eligible for educational benefits under any United States
Veterans Affairs program are urged to contact the SFCC office as soon as appli-
cation is made to the college. Students expecting to receive benefits must also
file an application for USVA benefits at the Santa Fe Community College Veter-
ans Affairs office. The college's Veterans Affairs office will certify the student
veteran for educational benefits based on receipt of the student's registration
for class attendance each semester. The student veteran or other eligible person
must provide a registration slip to the SFCC Veterans Affairs office each se-
mester the student desires to be certified for educational benefits. The United
States Department of Veterans Affairs determines eligibility for educational
benefits based on documents provided by the SFCC Veterans Affairs office.

www.sfcc.edu
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.
Student Af fairs
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 Com-
munity 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 voca-
tional 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.
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 partici-
pants 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.
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 circum-
stances 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.

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 Warning, Probation and Suspension To complete degree and

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

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
Non-native speakers of English who place into college preparatory reading and
English are required to register for the ESL (EAP) college preparatory courses.
The courses in this program integrate reading, writing, listening and speaking
activities to prepare non-native speakers of English for college-level work. The
ESL (EAP) program consists of the following courses:
EAP200C ESL Communications for College 1
EAP220C ESL Basic Reading
EAP240C ESL Basic Writing
EAP300C ESL Communications for College 2
EAP320C ESL Intermediate Reading
EAP340C ESL Intermediate Writing
EAP400C Communications for College 3
EAP420C College Preparatory ESL Reading
EAP440C College Preparatory ESL Writing
Grades earned in ESL (EAP) courses will not count toward graduation. These
grades will be included in the students' GPAs and will be included in the calcu-
lation of deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.
Students enrolled in college preparatory ESL (EAP) courses follow the same
registration procedures as all college preparatory students. Students shall not
enroll for more than three attempts in any Prep ESL (EAP) course. Withdrawal
from one of these courses after the last day to withdraw and receive a refund
counts as an attempt.
Cooperative Education
Courses offered by this program allow students to apply knowledge obtained
in the classroom in a variety of actual work settings. Students are able to gain
valuable work experience and skills not obtainable in the classroom. Registra-
tion for cooperative education classes is by Cooperative Education Department
permission only (Building S, room 254).
Each cooperative education placement involves the student in the work site
Santa Fe Community College
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' perfor-
mance during their cooperative education experience. The cooperative educa-
tion coordinator utilizes experiential type reports and other assignments sub-
mitted by the student at the end of each term, combined with the performance

employment and including 15-18 hours of general education courses transfer-
able 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 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
length as approved by the Articulation Coordinating Council.
2. Complete a minimum of 15 semester hours from the following General Edu-
cation areas of study to include at least 3 semester hours from each area:
Communications/Humanities 3 hours
Humanities/Fine Arts 3 hours
Mathematics/Science 3 hours
Social/Behavioral Science 3 hours
The remaining six hours may be taken from the three General Education
areas of study that best suit the individual needs of the selected Technol-
ogy and Applied Sciences program.
3. Complete the last 15 semester hours at Santa Fe Community College.
4. Complete a prescribed course of study with a 2.0 grade point average.
5. Complete the Computerized Placement Examination.
6. File an application for graduation with the Office of Records.
7. Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.
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
Santa Fe Community College
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 enroll-
ment (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.
75
www.sfcc.edu
The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the curriculum require-
ments appropriate to each student’s catalog year. However, courses and pro-
grams 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 cred-
it 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.

General Rule for Course Equivalencies Equivalent courses at different
Academic Af fairs
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 post-
secondary 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” repre-
sents “Entry-Level General Sociology;” the decade digit “1” represents “Survey
Course;” and the unit digit “0” represents “Social Problems.”
In science and other areas, a “C” or “L” after the course number is known as
a lab indicator. The “C” represents a combined lecture and laboratory course
that meets in the same place at the same time. The “L” represents a laboratory
course or the laboratory part of a course, having the same prefix and course
number without a lab indicator, which meets at a different time or place.
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 institu-
tions. 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.
Santa Fe Community College
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.
institutions when the courses are judged by the appropriate common course
designation and numbering system faculty task forces to be academically
equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution, including
equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic
control of the previous institution. The award of credit may be limited to
courses that are entered in the course numbering system. 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

ment of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahas-

lowed only two repeat attempts per course. Students should be aware that
some colleges or universities may not accept a grade of a repeated course,
or may compute the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial
aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Financial Aid office to
ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award.
4. Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade
points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X are not
included in total grade point averages.
Honors Program
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 avail-
able for selected courses.
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 designa-

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 instruc-
tor, 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 award-
ed. 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.

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. mili-
tary forces in the contemporary world with particular attention to the United
States Air Force, its organization and mission. The functions of strategic of-
fensive 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.

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

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 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 As-
sessment 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.
Credit by Examination
Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Com-
mittee (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 universi-
ties 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 du-
plicate other credit. Institutions may not award credit for scores below those
Santa Fe Community College

credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed below; however, a maxi-
mum 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
examination without prior notice.

Mission
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;
94
• promoting the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from
Programs of Study
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.
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.
concerning upper division requirements for the various majors, students are
urged to become familiar with the requirements of the upper division universi-
ties 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 advi-
sors, 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 institu-
tion. 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 compe-
tencies students need to succeed in the workplace, to transfer education, and
in today’s society.
Specifically, the student will
• experience the perspectives of various disciplines that comprise the
arts and sciences and understand their inter-connection;
• gain the necessary foundation and depth and breadth of knowledge to
become an independent, creative, lifelong learner;
• develop effective writing, speaking, reading, listening and interpersonal
skills;
• 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.

Apprenticeship Program
Programs of Study
Earn while you learn is the philosophy of SFCC's Apprenticeship Program. The
construction industry needs carpenters, plumbers, and A/C and heating techni-
cians. Because it does, you have worlds of opportunity when you learn a valu-
able 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 opportu-
nity 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 vari-
ous stages in the 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 comple-
tion. 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).

Ms. Christie Jordan, Ms. Janet Waldron
Cardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diag-
nosis 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, labora-
tory, and clinical instruction. The final two semesters are spent in clinical spe-
cialization 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 estab-
lished 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 physi-
cian with interventional techniques such as balloon angioplasty and pacemaker
implantation procedures designed to help alleviate existing cardiac problems.
Cardiac Ultrasound
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 car-
diac 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).
150
Peripheral Vascular Studies
Programs of Study
The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultrasound imaging, Dop-
pler, 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 vascu-
lar 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 requir-
ing 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, seal-
ants, 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 oppor-
tunities to complete the program. The Dental Hygiene Traditional program is a

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 pro-
grams who have a minimum of one year chair-side dental assisting work experi-
ence 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 eli-
gible 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.

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.
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 profes-
sional and general education courses at the college. The remaining time is spent
in the college laboratory or in hospitals, obtaining a complete range of super-
vised clinical experience including the latest imaging modalities.

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 expe-
riences 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, respira-
tory 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, man-
agement 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, pul-
monary 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), cardiopul-
monary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary
function studies, blood gas retrieval and analysis, and physiologic monitoring.
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 advan-
tage 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 respon-
sibility, 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 maxi-
mize patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may
act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound,
suturing and other technical functions.
Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical
team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency depart-
ments, 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 audit-
ing 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.
The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Committee on Surgical
Technology Education and graduates are qualified to take the Certification Exami-
nation in Surgical Technology. Achieving the CST credential is crucial for profes-
sional recognition and advancement.

Associate of Science Graphic Design Technology 3619
Programs of Study
The Associate of Science degree program in Graphic Design Technology offers
instruction in the theory and practice of graphic design to prepare graduates
for entry-level jobs in this expanding career field.
Students in the Graphic Design Technology program choose between a Print Me-
dia specialization or an Interactive Media Production specialization. Print Me-
dia students are admitted twice a year, in the fall and spring terms; students in
the Interactive Media Production track are admitted only in the fall. Students
also have the option to take the Interactive Media Production Specialization
group of courses as a certificate degree after finishing the complete Print Media
track, for a more complete preparation for today’s evolving job market. Admis-
sion is competitive. Potential students must apply for admission to the Graphic
Design Technology program in addition to applying to the college. Admission is
based on faculty rankings of the departmental applications.
Potential students must take the College Placement Test and complete all re-
quired prep classes before applying for admission to Graphic Design Technology.
Because the Graphic Design Technology department offers classes only in the
fall and the spring terms (no summer classes) it is recommended that students
plan to take their general education courses during the summer terms. For this
reason it is not a requirement that students complete their general education
requirements before applying for admission to Graphic Design Technology. Once
admitted to Graphic Design, students take classes full time in a specific, or
lockstep, sequence.
The program emphasizes creative thinking and problem solving in combination
with hands-on instruction on industry standard computer hardware and soft-
ware. The students learn illustration, computer graphics, desktop publishing,
Web page design, electronic imaging, and presentation techniques, photography
and design, magazine and newspaper advertising layout, logo, brochure, news-
letter, packaging, and direct mail design, outdoor advertising and point-of-pur-
chase display, printing methods, and electronic prepress production techniques.
The Interactive Media Production track also teaches the basic skills needed to
author, design, organize, and deliver multimedia presentations.

The Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit program that is a mini-
mum 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 tremen-
dous 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 Cer-
tification, 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-semes-
ter Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).
