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 institu-
tions from 11 different countries are League affiliate
members.
The League, founded in 1968, is an educational consor-
tium 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 col-
leges to participate in its workshops, conferences, projects,
and activities.
Accreditation Status
Santa Fe Community College is accredited by the Commis-
sion on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools to award the Associate degree. The college’s
accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools was reaffirmed in December of 2002.In addition,
Santa Fe Community College is accredited by the Florida
State Department of Education. SFC holds membership

The philosophy of Santa Fe College is student-centered.
Consistent with this philosophy, we value cultural diver-
sity and serve all persons regardless of race, color, creed,
national origin, religion, gender, marital status, age or
disability. The college believes that preparing students
for healthy, productive lives in a democratic society is the
chief obligation of the public educational system. There-
fore, 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
12

both our staff and students. The college aspires to trans-
mit these values as well as foster in students the critical
thinking and problem-solving skills, global perspective,
and creativity necessary to make educated and ethical
decisions in all aspects of their lives.

• Assessment, accountability, and improvement
• Sustainable use of environmental, social, and
economic resources
History of the College
Santa Fe College was established by the state government
in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education.
Florida’s legislature, governor and Department of Edu-
cation were responding to a request from Alachua and
Bradford counties’ 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.
Since then, SFC has established programs and services
that enable the college to carry out its mission of educa-
tional 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.
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 added in 2006. All the centers were built with
funds raised in community drives headed by the SFC
Endowment Corporation and operate to bring educational
opportunity to residents in SFC’s Alachua-Bradford County
service district.
The college has expanded education programs by increas-
ing the number of classes offered by electronic means
such as the Internet and live broadcasts to the SFC centers.
Almost 3,000 students take Internet classes through the
Open Campus.
SFC 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. SFC sends more students to the
University of Florida than does any other institution. Many
former SFC 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 sched-
ule formats to meet the needs of students.
Classes are offered to suit the schedules of students. In ad-
dition to full semesters, SFC has classes in a half semester
“flexterm” format, evening and “earlybird” classes that can
be taken after or before a student goes to work, and classes
on Saturdays.
Academic life is highlighted by the SFC-University of
Florida Foreign Languages Institute, an Honors Program,
Phi Theta Kappa, a speech and debate team, and an
International Initiative that features many study abroad
programs.
SFC’s Kirkpatrick Criminal Justice Training Center edu-
cates law enforcement and corrections officer recruits and
offers programs to retrain sworn officers. The Kirkpatrick
Center also trains students in the Emergency Medical Ser-
vices, Fire Sciences and Aviation Sciences programs.
The college is dedicated to economic development.
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 SFC Univer-
sity Center without leaving Gainesville.
The student-centered learning environment at SFC is
College Information
sustained by a network of counselors, advisors and help-
ful programs. Academic advisors give advice on classes
to take. Students can choose group support by joining a
“learning community” in which they take several courses
with the same group of students. 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 offers the Little School, an on-campus
child care center.
Veterans are honored with an active ROTC program and a
Veterans Affairs office that serves students at SFC and the
University of Florida.
Campus life is rounded out with a student government,
student clubs, activities and intramural athletics. The col-
lege competes intercollegiately in women’s fastpitch soft-
ball, men’s baseball, and men’s and women’s basketball.
SFC offers many cultural activities to enrich the com-
munity’s quality of life. The Santa Fe Gallery, located on
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 an-
nually 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 tradi-
tions. SFC’s annual Spring Arts Festival attracts 130,000
visitors to Gainesville and is one of the community’s larg-
est economic events. Santa Fe’s Bradford Fest is a signifi-
cant arts and economic event in Bradford County.
The college also presents sciences to the public. The
“Circle of Science” on the Northwest Campus is composed
of the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium, the Jean Klein Rock Cycle
Garden which is a series of boulders arranged in geological
order with interpretative plaques, and a geological atrium
housing rocks, fossils and exhibits.
Santa Fe’s Teaching Zoo is the only nationally accredited
zoo on a college campus and attracts 39,000 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.
Endowment Corporation
The Santa Fe 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 dona-
tions, and to account for, manage and help appreciate
monies or property submitted to the corporation. Such
donations are totally tax deductible. Funds from the cor-
poration are distributed to benefit and advance the college
and for the encouragement and subsidization of students
and faculty of SFC.
The Endowment Corporation Board of Directors is com-
posed of selected persons from Alachua and Bradford
counties who represent positive leadership and communi-
ty influence and who have expressed an interest and desire
to use their influence on behalf of the college through the 13
Endowment Corporation.
 www.sfcc.edu
The Endowment Corporation is prepared to support pro-
grams and activities of the college that promote college
objectives. Corporation activities and support include but
are not limited to:
• Financial aid for students
• Recognition of outstanding scholarship or leader-
ship

• Awards for special achievement
• Management and investment of funds
• Support of the college library
• Procurement of special equipment

one of several ways and can usually be arranged to achieve
maximum tax benefits for the donor while at the same
time providing generous support to education.
Contributions may be made by gifts of cash, real or per-
sonal property, securities, by provision of a will, by gifts of
insurance policies, or by the establishment of trusts. Gifts
may be awarded for specific purposes or given without
restrictions regarding their use.

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 College Endowment Corpo-
ration to establish a major academic center in Starke. This
$2.5 million asset includes a turn-of-the-century facility
that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Renovation of the historic courthouse was the responsi-
bility 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 Build-
ing, a century-old structure in downtown Starke, was reno-
vated 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 approxi-
mately 4,000 square foot new facility that includes four
major college classrooms plus 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
on NW 6th Street to the SFC 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 from the private sector and involved the
establishment of a major steering committee composed
of approximately 20 business and community leaders who
College Information
served as “ambassadors of good will” throughout the com-
munity.
In the spring of 1993 the SFC 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 an increased student population.
In December 1993 the Downtown Center was named for
Charles L. Blount, its major contributor and fundraiser
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 govern-
ment that occupy the downtown complex
• To provide an opportunity for community meeting
rooms at no cost to civic clubs, business and profes-
sional 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 evenings. 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 SFC East Gainesville Initiative and Community
Outreach offices were relocated to the Charles L. Blount
Center. In the following year Santa Fe’s offices for adminis-
tering the Carl D. Perkins Education Act were also relo-
cated to the center.
In the spring of 2006 the new Charles L. Blount General
Classroom Building opened. It contains approximately
10,000 square feet, seven classrooms, an art classroom, a
computer lab, a testing lab, offices for adult education and
programs, and offices for faculty and academic advisors.
In fall 2006 the college made both interior and exterior
upgrades to the old Gainesville Gas Co. building to develop
SFC’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 SFC Center for Business provides short-term, non-
credit “training for excellence” for people or companies
desiring improvement of skills. The center houses the Cen-
ter for Business and Industry, the Continuing Professional
15
Education division, and the Computer Institute.

Davis Center
In the fall of 2003 the Ron and Norita Davis and Family
Davis Center opened to help 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 educa-
tion and potential vocational training programs locally.
The more than 10,000 square foot facility includes six
general classrooms, a computer lab, ITV classroom, a com-
munity boardroom, faculty and staff offices, and a com-
munity/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 organiza-
tions to provide additional funding for the establishment
of the Davis Center was comprised of more than 26 com-
munity 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 Re-
gion 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 gen-
eral education classrooms, a computer lab, community
boardroom, faculty and staff offices, community/common
meeting area and an office for the Bradford County consti-
tutional 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 North-
west 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 SFC campus location. Students inter-
act 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 their education
16
while still managing a job, family activities or other class-
es. 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.
Community Education Program (Non-Credit)
Santa Fe College is dedicated to lifelong learning. Com-
munity Education at SFC provides educational opportuni-
ties to all members of the community through enrichment
programs. These programs, offered at Santa Fe’s cam-
puses, online, and in community schools, present classes
taught by community members and SFC faculty and staff
who enjoy bringing their special skills to interested stu-
dents. Community Education also offers College for Kids,
a summer camp program for children ages 10-14. Commu-
nity Education non-credit courses are available to anyone
in the community, regardless of race, color, creed, sex or
marital status, although some classes may have special age
limits or other requirements. The classes have no college
admission requirements. Because the Community Educa-
tion program is self-supporting, there are no scholarships
or waivers, except for persons 60 and over when a class
meets certain requirements. Visit online at www.mysfcc.
com.
PrimeTime Institute (Non-Credit)
This membership program, supported by Community
Education, consists of seminars, social events and special
learning opportunities available to all community mem-
bers aged 50 and over. A low membership fee provides
access to many SFC student benefits including the library,
cultural events, computer labs, and Santa Fe student ser-
vices. All seminar programs are free and most are open to
the public, members and non-members alike. Visit online
at www.mysfcc.com.
Center for Innovation and
Economic Development
Inspiration, education and transformation can happen
at the Center for Innovation and Economic Development
(CIED), Santa Fe’s nexus for business, entrepreneurship
and professional development. The CIED is home to SFC’s
Center for Business and the college’s small business incu-
bator. It offers more than 4,000 square feet of comfortable,
affordable, high-tech space ideal for meetings, trainings,
workshops and seminars. Visit online at www.sfcc.edu/
cied.
Center for Business
The Center for Business at Santa Fe College provides
customized corporate and individual training opportu-
nities for professional workforce skill enhancement and
continuing education. Courses are offered online and in
classrooms in both Alachua and Bradford counties. Classes
at the Center for Business allow individuals to enhance
their skills and/or receive training to help them achieve or
recertify professional licenses. 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 waivers
are available for continuing education classes. Visit online
at www.sfcc.edu/cfb.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Students who complete continuing education courses may
earn continuing education units (CEUs). CEUs are gener-
ated when a student completes a non-credit activity. They
are not transferable for college credit. CEUs are standard-
ized, 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 educa-
tion 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/cfb.
Corporate Workforce Education and Training
Corporate (contract) workforce training is the provision
of courses to meet the needs of a particular business or
industry. Training is done at an SFC campus or at the busi-
ness to meet specific requirements in a variety of subject
areas. The course curriculum is customized to meet the
particular needs of the organization and its staff. Corpo-
rate training may include credit or non-credit courses.
In addition, staff members write and administer Quick
Response Training Grants for Workforce Florida. A laptop
computer lab is available for use by the business com-
munity through SFC’s Center for Business. Visit online at
www.sfcc.edu/cfb.
Incubator
SFC’s Incubator helps entrepreneurs grow new companies.
Here they can find small business development support,
administrative assistance, and work and meeting spaces.
Professional Development
Classes are offered as open enrollment opportunities for
those seeking to improve their professional skills, gain a
new skill, or achieve/renew certifications. The program
includes   continuing education courses for nurses, child
development professionals, insurance and real estate
agents and many others. Various computer software,
networking, and special technology skill classes are also
offered through the Center for Business.

Advisement Center
Associate of Arts Degree Advisement
www.sfcc.edu/academicadvisement, click on Associate of Arts
Degree
Santa Fe College is committed to quality advising for all
students. The advising mission is to help students attain
their educational goals. The Advisement Center provides
students with timely and accurate information regarding
Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree graduation requirements.
Advisors 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.
Friday 1-4:30 p.m.
No appointments; students are seen on a walk-in basis.
Advisors are also available at the college centers.
Associate of Arts Degree
If you intend to transfer to one of Florida’s state universi-
ties, the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree is the transferable
degree. The A.A. degree includes the general education
portion (lower division) of the baccalaureate degree. In
order to help 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 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 Cen-
ter). Students must have a major indicated by the comple-
tion of 24 credit hours.

Student Responsibilities Career and Professional Studies Advisement

Students are ultimately responsible for knowing and fulfill-
ing all graduation requirements as well as pre-professional
requirements for their major/program of study. In order to
meet that goal, they are responsible for:
• attending orientation to receive advisement prior to
their first term of enrollment;
• meeting with an advisor on a regular basis about
graduation requirements and understanding admis-
sion requirements for their major;
• reviewing the degree audit to ensure the remaining
degree requirements are fully understood;
• seeking advisement when in academic difficulty;
• maintaining their own personal academic records,
including the catalog of their year of admission to
Santa Fe, transcripts, degree audits, evaluation of
transfer work, and notes from previous advising ses-
sions.
Students who at any time are confused about academic
requirements or their progress toward a degree are encour-
aged and expected to meet with an advisor. Check our Web
site at www.sfcc.edu for the following information:
• General education requirements
• Pre-professional courses (courses required by your
university major)
• SUS foreign language requirement
• University links
• Bulletin board
• Degree audit
Students interested in any of the Career and Professional
Studies programs, which have selective admission re-
quirements, are urged to contact the appropriate program
advisor as early as possible. Admission to the college does
not guarantee entry into any program that has selective
admission requirements. Career and Professional Studies
programs offered at the college are listed on page 59.
High School Dual Enrollment
Program
Santa Fe College, in cooperation with the School Boards of
Alachua and Bradford counties, provides dual enrollment
opportunities for high school students. County articula-
tion 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 trans-
portation and the free and reduced lunch program are
also available to those students affiliated with an Alachua
County public school.
1. Technology and Applied Science Dual Enrollment Se-
lected 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 enroll-
ing in college technology, high school and/or college
academic course work to fulfill high school graduation

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 carpentry, electrical,
plumbing, masonry, and heating and air conditioning.
After graduation from high school, students will be
eligible for the college’s Apprenticeship Program.
High school students may choose one of two options:
Full-time Dual Enrollment Under this program, stu-
dents will take either high school or college classes to
meet high school graduation requirements, and college
construction classes on the SFC campus.
Part-time Dual Enrollment Students choosing this
option take academic classes at their home high school
during the morning and attend the college in the
afternoon for construction classes. The School Board
of Alachua County provides transportation to public
school students.
For information about this program, call Tony Pavai at
(352) 395-5048 or the Dual Enrollment office at (352)
395-5490.
2. College Academic Dual Enrollment Juniors and
seniors who qualify through the CPT, SAT, or ACT and
their GPA are eligible to become full-time College Aca-
demic Dual Enrollment students. These students take
all college academic courses that lead toward an As-
sociate of Arts degree. College courses also meet high
school graduation requirements. All Associate of Arts
degree course work offered through Dual Enrollment is
22
transferable to the State University System.
3. Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Juniors and seniors may
enroll in the full-time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Pro-
gram. 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 Associ-
ate of Arts degree. College placement scores determine
eligibility for college level work. Fine Arts students se-
lect 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 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 through
twelve may participate in this option.)
5. Part-time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment Eligible juniors
and seniors 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 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
Building R, room 5 or by calling (352) 395-5490. Applica-
tions 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 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, SFC adheres to the following assess-
ment procedures:
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 read-
ing, 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 that he or she 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 (Comput-
erized Placement Tests-CPT). Official course place-
ment 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 ad-
ditional entry assessment, provided that scores are no
more than two years old. However, the College Level
Math (CLM) portion of the CPT must be taken to ascer-
tain proper college level math placement.
4. Students who are transferring from another college
will follow steps 1, 2, or 3, when applicable, or pres-
ent 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’s record and will automatically generate ap-
propriate 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 ac-
ceptable for entry course placement.
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 prepa-
ratory
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). Col-
lege 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. Orien-
tation 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 ori-
Admissions
entation appointments through eSantaFe upon completion
of the placement testing requirement and removal of all
registration holds. On-campus orientation is recommend-
ed for all first-time-in-college students. For more informa-
tion, 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 re-
quired of all applicants seeking admission to college credit
programs and courses at SFC 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 accor-
dance with the regulations set by those organiza-
tions.
• 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 complet-
ed courses in English, social studies, mathematics
and the natural sciences.
• In the case of a student who is home educated, a
signed, notarized affidavit submitted by the stu-
dent’s parent or legal guardian attesting that the
student has completed a home education program
pursuant to the requirements of §232.02(4) F.S. is
required. This affidavit may be obtained in the Of-
fice of Admissions (Building R, room 112) or online
at www.sfcc.edu/admissions.
Note: Students who have earned high school certificates of
completion should contact the Welcome and Admissions
Center in Building R, room 112 for information regarding
college course work.
The following documents are required as part of the ad-
missions process:
• Completed application for admission form. Note:
International students with a non-immigrant visa
must contact the International Student Services of-
fice for an International Student application.
• Official high school transcript or GED diploma.
Transfer Students
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 insti-
tution 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.
Santa Fe College accepts transfer course work from region-
ally accredited institutions. In addition, the college is in
compliance with and participates in the Florida Depart- 23
ment of Education Statewide Course Numbering System
 www.sfcc.edu
for courses at non-regionally accredited institutions under
the state of Florida K-16 Articulation Agreement.
In accordance with §1001.64(8)(a) F.S., Santa Fe 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 ap-
plicants 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 stu-
dents 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 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 an 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 in-
stitution. In order for a transient student to be exempt from
prerequisites, the transient letter must list the courses the
student is authorized to take as well as the term the student
will be taking the courses.
Deadlines and Transcripts
SFC 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 insti-
24
tutions must also provide high school transcripts.
The deadline for applying to the college, with all support-
ing documents for any given term, is the last day of late reg-
istration. For this and other official college dates, check the
calendar online at www.sfcc.edu or contact the Welcome
and Admissions 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 regard-
ing 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.
Any student who does not want this directory informa-
tion 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 speci-
fied 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 SFC 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 re-
quest 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 educa-
tional records:
Vice President for Student Affairs: Portia Taylor
College Registrar: Lynn Sullivan
If students wish to challenge the accuracy of their educa-
tional records, questions may be settled through informal
hearings or upon the request of either party (the educa-
tional 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 con-
taining 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 stu-
dent 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
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 Office of Records
if you would like to petition to reclassify your residency
status.
1009.21 Determination of resident status
for tuition purposes
Students shall be classified as residents or non-residents
for the purpose of assessing tuition fees in public commu-
nity 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 juris-
diction 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 guardian of a dependent child. Ex-
ample: 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 imme-
diately 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
Admissions
than for the purpose of maintaining a mere tempo-
rary 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 pur-
poses 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 qualifi-
cation, 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, super-
vision, 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 indi-
vidual income tax provisions.
(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 dura-
tion 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 pre-
sented 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 reregis-
tering 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 non-resident
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 do-
miciled 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 subse-
quently 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.
25
• In determining the domicile of a married person,
 www.sfcc.edu
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 ascer-
taining domiciliary intent.
(6) Any non-resident person, irrespective of sex, who mar-
ries a legal resident of this state or marries a person
who later becomes a legal resident may, upon becom-
ing 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.
(8) A person who has been properly classified as a resi-
dent 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 depen-
dent 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 res-
ident 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 resi-
dent 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 gradu-
ates 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 pur-
poses 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 main-
tains 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.
(b) Active duty members of the armed services of the
United States and their spouses and dependents
attending a public community college or state uni-
versity within 50 miles of the military establishment
where they are stationed, if such military establish-
ment is within a county contiguous to Florida.
(c) United States citizens living on the Isthmus of Pan-
ama, 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 person-
26 nel employed by state public schools, community
colleges, and institutions of higher education, as
defined in s. 1000.04, and their spouses and depen-
dent 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 cor-
rections training.
(h) McKnight Doctoral Fellows and Finalists who are
United States citizens.
(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 certifi-
cate.
(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 resid-
ing 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 submit-
ted to the Office of Records 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 ses-
sions 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 SFC
except with special permission. Students seeking permis-
sion to enroll in more than 19 semester hours must see the
associate vice president of Academic Affairs or a designee
in room 253 of the Robertson Administration Building on
the Northwest Campus.

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 stu-
dents pay the same tuition fees, application fees, labora-
tory 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 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 and/or
printer, Internet access fees, software purchases, and cost
of maintenance and supplies. Costs of meeting this re-
quirement will be included in financial aid considerations.
No student will be denied access to Santa Fe College be-
cause of an inability to purchase or lease a computer, and
accordingly, the college offers access to computers through
its computer labs and the library.

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
SFC 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 per-
centage 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 withdraw-
ing 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 meet-
ing. 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 comple-
tion, 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-
lege. The college will notify the student and the college will
initiate the refund process.
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.
Social Security
Students should direct inquiries related to Social Security
benefits to their local Social Security office. SFC’s Office of
Records will certify student enrollment for the Social Se-
curity Administration. Educational benefits are awarded
through the Social Security office.
College Expenses
Student Financial Obligations
Students shall be held responsible for their financial
obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, a student
who is delinquent in satisfying such obligations shall not
be permitted to graduate, register, receive a transcript for
completed course work or benefit from other regular col-
lege services. Student financial obligations include, but are
not necessarily limited to:
• fee deferments;
• delinquent loan payments (e.g. Short Term, Perkins,
Nursing);
• unpaid matriculation, tuition, laboratory or other
fees associated with registration;
• unpaid fines or penalties duly assessed by appropri-
ate college authorities;
• checks drawn to the order of the college that have
been returned because of insufficient funds or any
other reason.
Any student who has paid for course registration fees with
a check that is dishonored for any reason must make im-
mediate restitution to the college. After determination by
the Office for Finance that timely restitution is unlikely,
the student’s registration will be canceled. In no instance
shall the student’s enrollment be continued beyond the
point where the dishonored check has been rejected by the
bank on resubmission.

Building R, room 112:

sent students’ interests to the college administration.
The Student Senate is comprised of representatives from
student organizations, academic senators representing
specific majors, and at-large members representing the
general student populace. As the legislative body for SG,

International Students
Application Process
Santa Fe College (SFC) considers anyone who is not a
United States (U.S.) citizen or permanent resident of the
U.S. as international. If residing in the U.S. the student
must also have legal status in the U.S. If the student does
not have legal status the student is considered illegal and
has to complete a special admission process with the Of-
fice of the Registrar. If the student is on an F-2 or B-1/B-2
visa, the student must change status before enrolling at
SFC. International students are required to complete and
submit an international student application, an official
high school diploma (with official high school transcripts)
and official transcripts from any postsecondary school(s),
both in their native language and in an official English
translation. All applicants whose native language or exclu-
sive language of instruction is not English must submit a
recent (two years or less) Test of English as a Foreign Lan-
guage (TOEFL) examination score with a minimum score
of 400 on the paper test, 32 on the Internet-based test, or 97
on the computer-based test. Please refer to the most recent
International Student Admission Checklist.
All necessary paperwork for admission must be received in
the International Student Services office by the deadline
for the term. The only exception is if a student is applying
for the Adult Education Program (4100). Application dead-
lines are as follows:
Application Deadlines for International Students
• Fall 2008 term June 25, 2008
• Spring 2009 term November 6, 2008
• Summer 2009 term March 11, 2009
Check-in Requirement

tional Student Services office with all of their original
documentation proving their status prior to registering for
classes. Such documentation may include passport, visa,
I-94, I-20, DS-2019, Employment Authorization Document
(EAD Card), I-797 (approval/receipt letters), Asylee Ap-
proval Letters, and so forth.
Housing
Santa Fe does not provide on-campus housing. The Inter-
national Student Services office is unable to make rental
reservations, negotiate lease agreements or act as an agent
for the students. Referral information is made available
solely to aid students in their search for housing. Interna-
tional students desiring more information may contact the
International Student Services office, Building R, room 102,
phone (352) 395-5504 or visit the Web site at www.sfcc.edu.
International Students Requiring
or on F-1 Student Visas
Santa Fe College is authorized by the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to enroll
non-immigrant alien students on F-1 visas. If the student
already has a valid I-20 a transfer form is also required and
34
the new I-20 can only be issued after the release date set
in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System
(SEVIS).
College financial aid is not available to non-immigrant
students on F-1 visas whose parents/legal guardians do
not reside in the U.S. Non-immigrant students may not
be employed while attending college in the United States,
unless the International Student Services office and the
USCIS have granted permission. Normally, employment is
not granted although, occasionally, on-campus employ-
ment is authorized.
To maintain non-immigrant student status, students must
enroll for a minimum of 12 credit hours every fall and
spring term. If summer is their first term, they must enroll
in 12 credits during that summer term. Failure to maintain
enrollment will result in the loss of student status and pos-
sible deportation. Santa Fe has an International Student
Services office to help international students make the
transition from their home countries to Santa Fe Col-
lege. The staff will gladly help students with immigration
regulations, educational planning, personal problems, and
other areas of concern.
Health Insurance for International Students
on F-1 Visas
Students on F-1 visas are required, per SFC Board Rule
7.6, to provide proof of health insurance. The college has
contracted with Insurance for College Students (IFCS) to

program of postsecondary education. Only first genera-
tion, low-income, and students with disabilities with an
academic need are eligible to participate in the program.
Upward Bound
This is a TRIO program that prepares selected students
from Newberry High School and Bradford High School to
compete successfully for postsecondary education oppor-
tunities. Its focus is to generate strong academic skills and
motivation in program participants through the following
services: supplemental instruction in college prep courses
and study skills; college entrance exam preparation; col-
lege campus visits; cultural events exposure; academic,
career and personal counseling; and the development of
leadership and social skills through participation with
other TRIO programs. Upward Bound also sponsors a
six-week, non-residential summer enrichment program
that focuses on students’ class prep for the next academic
school year. Students must meet federal eligibility criteria
set by the U.S. Department of Education. The program
office is located on the Northwest Campus. For more
information call (352) 395-7357 or see the Upward Bound
portion of SFC’s Web site at www.sfcc.edu.
College Reach-Out Program/CROP
This program works to strengthen the educational motiva-
tion and academic preparation of targeted low income and
educationally disadvantaged students in grades 6-12 who
desire and may benefit from postsecondary education.
CROP identifies students who want to understand better
the value of postsecondary education and who are moti-
vated to develop better basic learning skills. It counsels
students and their parents on the benefits of postsecond-
ary education and provides supplemental instruction.
Services include after school programs offering tutoring,
basic skills remediation and study skills instruction, as
well as cultural and campus visits. CROP also offers a four-
week summer academic enrichment program located on
the SFC campus. Rising ninth graders have the opportuni-
ty to spend one of those weeks at the University of Florida
through a residency program. They live in a UF dormitory
and attend classes there. The program office is located on
the Northwest Campus in Building I, room 46B. Call (352)
395-5268 for more information.
Veterans Services
All veterans and other eligible persons are encouraged
to call or visit the SFC Veterans Affairs office located in
Building R, room 110 on the Northwest Campus. Santa
Fe College is approved for the education and training of
veterans and other eligible persons under all public laws
now in effect. Students who may be eligible for educational
Student Affairs
benefits under any United States Veterans Affairs program
are urged to contact the SFC office as soon as applica-
tion is made to the college. Students expecting to receive
benefits must also file an application for USVA benefits at
the Santa Fe College Veterans Affairs office. The college’s
Veterans Affairs office will certify the student veteran for
educational benefits based on receipt of the student’s reg-
istration for class attendance each semester. The student
veteran or other eligible person must provide a registration
slip and degree audit to the SFC Veterans Affairs office
each semester the student desires to be certified for educa-
tional benefits. The United States Department of Veterans
Affairs determines eligibility for educational benefits
based on documents provided by the SFC Veterans Affairs
office.
The SFC 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 per-
sons 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 SFC 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 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 appro-
priate documentation to the SFC 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 pro-
gram 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 pay-
ment of registration fees in each student academic year. 37
This deferment may be extended or granted more than
 www.sfcc.edu
once an academic year due to educational benefit pay-
ment delays beyond the control of the eligible Santa Fe
College student. Each eligible student who receives a de-
ferment 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.
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.
Standards of Progress
In compliance with the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs regarding veterans and other eligible per-
sons’ attendance, progress and certification, the following
procedures are to be followed:
I. Attendance The IHL program participant must notify
the Santa Fe 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.
II. Academic Progress The program participant’s rate of
progress toward his or her educational goal is as fol-
lows:
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 consecu-
tive terms. The college’s Veterans Affairs office is avail-
able 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 advise-
ment, 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 educational benefits for
auditing a course or for a course not used toward gradua-
tion requirements, including any course from which the
student withdraws, unless there is a finding of mitigating
circumstances causing the withdrawal.
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
38
for a course to make up an incomplete grade. The pro-
gram 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 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 College
4. Active duty in military service, including active duty
for training
5. Actions by the program participant such as seeking
tutorial assistance, SFC Veterans Affairs counseling,
and/or Santa Fe 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 col-
lege’s VA office when there are any problems with educa-
tional 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, (888) GI BILL1 or go online to use the
WAVE verificaiton program each month. Student veterans
should also review annual changes to the GI BILL educa-
tional programs at VA.GOV.

Academic Objectives and
Attendance
Santa Fe College is responsible for providing its students
with a learning-centered environment that includes edu-
cationally sound, high-quality programs offered in an eco-
nomical 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 responsibil-
ity as a tax-supported institution.
A student’s standing at Santa Fe College will be determined
by the relationship of hours attempted to grade points
earned. To be considered in good standing and continue
successfully toward a degree, a student must earn the
grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 (C) cumulative
grade point average while at Santa Fe.
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 example demonstrates
this concept. It should be noted that a student could go
from a position of good standing to academic warning,
probation or suspension within one term.
Example 1
New student in first term:
Total
Grade Grade Attempted Grade
Points Hours Points
A 4 multiplied by 3 = 12
B 3 “ “ 3 = 9
C 2 “ “ 3 = 6
D 1 “ “ 3 = 3
12 = 30
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.
Example 2
Same student as example 1, but in second term: student may then petition the college for possible read-
Total
Grade Grade Attempted Grade
Points Hours Points
C 2 multiplied by 4 = 8
D 1 “ “ 3 = 3 a semester GPA of 2.5 or above, will not be suspended even
F 0 “ “ 4 = 0
F 0 “ “ 4 = 0
15 = 11
This student earned 11 grade points in the second term.
Added to the 30 grade points from the first term, the stu-
dent 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
40
placed on academic probation.
Example 3
New student in first term:
Total
Grade Grade Attempted Grade
Points Hours Points
F 0 multiplied by 4 = 0
F 0 “ “ 3 = 0
D 1 “ “ 3 = 3
D 1 “ “ 3 = 3
13 = 6
In this example, the student earned six grade points on
13 semester hours. Thus, 13 times 2 = 26 grade points are
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 certificate program requirements,
students must meet SFC’s Standards of Academic Progress:
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on
academic warning if they have a grade point deficit
of 9 or less.
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on
academic probation if they have a grade point deficit
of 10 or more but less than 20.
• Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or more
shall be suspended for one semester (15 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 overides should enroll in this course.
Academic Dismissal
Students returning from suspension will be on probation.
If, at the end of the term they return, their grade point
deficit is still 20 or more, they will be dismissed from the
college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to
the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. The
mission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear written
evidence of factors that indicate promise of successful
performance.
Students returning after suspension or dismissal, who earn
though they may have an overall deficit of more than 20
grade points. Should this promising level of performance
continue, good academic standing will result. Under these
circumstances, the student will continue on academic
probation.
Earning Credit While Suspended
A student while under suspension from another institu-
tion may not earn credit at Santa Fe College, and a student
while under suspension from Santa Fe may not earn credits
toward a degree from this institution by taking courses at
another institution. In each case, it is the student’s respon-

Academic Affairs
sibility to work with the Registrar’s Office of each college
or university to determine the policies governing credit
earned while under suspension.

Standards of Academic Progress Summary

Academic Warning 1-9 grade point deficit
Academic Probation 10-19 grade point deficit
Academic Suspension 20 or more grade point deficit

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
of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full fees
if that student’s overall deficit is more than 20 grade points.
must be requested before the end of drop/add for the term
Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher
or session in which the course is attempted for the third
each term, the student will remain enrolled on academic
time. No waivers are granted retroactively.
probation until good academic standing is achieved.

Transferring to Santa Fe Transient Status

with Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe’s Stan-
dards 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,
that is, academic warning or probation. They will return
to good standing when sufficient grade points have been
earned to achieve a C average.
Withdrawals
Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive
a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Office of Re-
cords (Building R, room 101) up until the official with-
drawal date each term/session. The withdrawal date for
each term/session is available in the online calendar and
via eSantaFe.
A student may have only three attempts per course includ-
ing 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 with-
drawals 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 in-
struction, 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
Santa Fe students wishing to attend another postsec-
ondary institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe
College must obtain permission from SFC before enrolling
at the other institution. Students should fill out a tran-
sient form, seek advisement about courses they wish to
take, and have their status at SFC certified in the Office of
Records before enrolling at another institution. Transient
forms are available online at www.facts.org.
Student Learning Outcomes Statements
Santa Fe College is committed to improved student learn-
ing and development with students becoming participants
in a dynamic learning experience. Santa Fe’s student
learning outcomes statements identify actionable priori-
ties in terms of eight (8) broad learning outcomes associ-
ated with observable skill changes in communication,
community, digital technology, information management,
interpersonal, mathematical, personal, thinking and prob-
lem solving. A student’s growth in these cognitive, affec-
tive, and ethical capacities is assessed through measuring
student learning and achievement based on the following
student learning outcomes statements:
• Communication: The student will develop effective
reading, writing, speaking, listening, and nonverbal
communication skills.
• Community: The student will develop an under-
standing of diversity/pluralism in the world com-
munity, an awareness of civic and social participa-
tion, and ethical, informed decision-making.
• Digital Technology: The student will develop com-
puter and Internet skills, and the ability to retrieve,
manage, and evaluate digital information.
• Information Management: The student will develop 41
the skills necessary to collect, verify, document, and
 www.sfcc.edu
organize information from a variety of sources.
• Interpersonal: The student will develop effective
leadership, teamwork, relationship management,
conflict resolution, and workplace skills.
• Mathematical: The student will develop the skills
necessary to understand and apply mathematical
concepts and reasoning and to analyze and inter-
pret various types of data.
• Personal: The student will develop an ability to
understand and manage self, adapt to change,
enhance wellness, and learn effectively, as well as a
framework for aesthetic responsiveness.
• Thinking and Problem Solving: The student will
develop the skills necessary for analysis, synthesis,
evaluation, decision-making, critical and creative
thinking, and the creative process.
Ombudsman
Students having questions about obtaining access to a
course or courses which, if not taken, could impede their
progress toward a degree, should contact Assistant Vice
President for Student Affairs John Cowart, the college’s
ombudsman. The ombudsman works to provide an alter-
nate communication channel that fosters continual dia-
logue in resolving academic and personal issues to bring
about positive, productive changes within the classroom.
The ombudsman’s office is located in Building R, room 211.

Academic Foundations Department
In support of academic achievement, Santa Fe 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 indepen-
dently. Lab instruction is offered on a one-to-one basis
or in small group sessions and is free of charge to SFC
students.
The ESL (EAP) program provides instruction in the spoken
and written language for non-native English students. Stu-
dents participate in small-group instruction and individ-
ual 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 provide pre-CLAST testing and review
of all CLAST skills for students preparing to take CLAST
for the first time and those remediating after failure of any
subtest. Students are required to complete remediation
in the CLAST Lab prior to retesting. A fee is charged for
42
CLAST retakes.
The Learning Labs are located at:
ESL (EAP) Lab I-001
Mathematics Lab G-014
Reading Lab G-036
Writing Lab G-005
Degree-seeking students whose college entry placement
scores are below the state and institutional college level
placement scores shall enroll in the appropriate college
preparatory courses prior to enrolling in college level
courses. The college preparatory courses are:
ENC0001 College Prep Writing 1
ENC0020 College Prep Writing 2
REA0001 College Prep Reading 1
REA0002 College Prep Reading 2
MAT0002 Prep Pre-Algebra
MAT0020 Integrated Arithmetic & Algebra
MAT0024 Elementary Algebra
Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are re-
quired to re-register for 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 or MAT0020.
Rule 6A-10.0315(14)
Florida Administrative Code 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 in-
struction 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 college level courses are
flagged in the course schedule. Since students must main-
tain continuous enrollment in required college prepara-
tory 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-041 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-021.
Grades earned in college prep courses will not count
toward graduation. These grades will be included in the
students’ GPAs and will be included in the calculation of
deficit points for the purpose of academic progress.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
Non-native speakers of English who place into college
preparatory reading and English are required to register
for the ESL (EAP) college preparatory courses. The courses
in this program integrate reading, writing, listening and
speaking activities to prepare non-native speakers of Eng-
lish for college level work. The ESL (EAP) program consists
of the following courses:
EAP0200C ESL Communications for College 1
EAP0220C ESL Basic Reading
EAP0240C ESL Basic Writing
EAP0300C ESL Communications for College 2
EAP0320C ESL Intermediate Reading
EAP0340C ESL Intermediate Writing
EAP0400C Communications for College 3
EAP0420C College Preparatory ESL Reading
EAP0440C 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 calculation of deficit
points for the purpose of academic progress.
Students enrolled in college preparatory ESL (EAP) courses
follow the same registration procedures as all college pre-
paratory 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. Reg-
istration for cooperative education classes is by Coopera-
tive Education Department permission only (Building S,
room 254).
Each cooperative education placement involves the
student in the work site search, which often resembles a
competitive job search. The work site may provide experi-
ence to the student as a paid job or as volunteer work ex-
perience, depending upon the employer’s current staffing
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 work-
ing 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
Academic Affairs
credit. A total of up to nine hours per year may be earned.
Supervisors at the students’ work sites evaluate students’
performance during their cooperative education experi-
ence. The cooperative education coordinator utilizes
experiential-type reports and other assignments sub-
mitted by the student at the end of each term, combined
with the performance evaluation submitted by the site
supervisor, to determine an appropriate grade. Coopera-
tive education course hours designated as occupational
(O) are not transferable nor will those hours count toward
graduation requirements for the A.A. degree or impact the
student’s GPA.
Degrees
Santa Fe College grants three degrees: Associate of Arts
(A.A.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate

The remaining six hours may be taken from the three
general education areas of study that best suit the in-
dividual needs of the selected Technology and Applied
Sciences program.
3. Complete the last 15 semester hours at Santa Fe Col-
lege.
4. Complete a prescribed course of study with a 2.0
grade point average.
5. File an application for graduation with the Office of

6. Pay all fees and discharge all other financial
obligations to the college.
Graduation
Students who wish to graduate in a given semester are
expected to apply for graduation at the Office of Records
before the semester deadline. Graduation deadlines are
noted in the SFC 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 pro-
44
gram.
Catalog Year
Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements
that must be fulfilled for graduation. Students gradu-
ate 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.
The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the
curriculum requirements appropriate to each student’s
catalog year. However, courses and programs will some-
times be discontinued and requirements may change as
a result of curricular review or actions by accrediting as-
sociations and other agencies.
Experiential Learning
Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by experi-
ence 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 appro-
priate 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. Experien-
tial credits based on work experience require a letter from
the student’s employer documenting time in position, job
title, duties, and employer contact information. Experien-
tial 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 institu-
tions.
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 33 par-
ticipating 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 com-
mittees are selected to maintain a representative balance
as to type of institution and discipline field or specializa-
tion.
The course prefix and each digit in the course number
have a meaning in the Statewide Course Numbering Sys-
tem. 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.
Example of course identifier:
Prefix Level Century Decade Unit Lab transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully
Code Digit Digit Digit Code accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency
(first (second (third (fourth
digit) digit) digit) digit)
SYG 1 0 1 0   system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institu-
Sociology, Freshman Entry- Survey Social No lab
General level at level Course Problems component
this General in this
i nstitution Sociology course
General Rule for Course Equivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are identi-
fied by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the
course number and are guaranteed to be transferable be-
tween 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 35 different postsecondary institutions. Each institu-
tion 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.
In science and other areas, the letter 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 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 suc-
cessfully complete SYG1010 at the community college is
guaranteed to receive transfer credit for SYG2010 at the
state university if the student transfers. The student can-
not be required to take SYG2010 again 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 require-
ments by transfer students on the same basis as credit
awarded to the native students. It is the prerogative of the
receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for
courses successfully completed that have not been desig-
nated as equivalent.
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major
division of an academic discipline, subject matter area,
or sub-category of knowledge. The prefix is not intended
to identify the department in which a course is offered.
Academic Affairs
Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned
prefix to identify the course.
Authority for Acceptance of
Equivalent Courses
Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states: Any student who
recognized by the United States Department of Education
and that participate in the statewide course numbering
tion for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at
the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the
courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course
numbering system faculty committees representing school
districts, public postsecondary educational institutions,
and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational
institutions to be academically equivalent to courses of-
fered at the receiving institution, including equivalency of
faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic
control of the previous institution. The Department of
Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a
receiving institution are generated in courses for which the
faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those
required by the accrediting association of the receiving
institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses
that are entered in the statewide course numbering sys-
tem. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall
satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as
credits awarded to native students.
Exceptions to the General Rule
for Equivalency
The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for
course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability
is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution
B. Courses with the last three digits ranging from
900-999 (e.g., ART 2905)
C. College preparatory and vocational preparatory
courses
D. Internships, practica, clinical experiences, and
study abroad courses with numbers other than
those ranging from 900-999
E. Applied performance or studio courses in Art,
Dance, Interior Design, Music and Theatre
F. Skills courses in Criminal Justice
G. Graduate courses
H. For courses at non-regionally accredited institu-
tions, courses offered prior to the established trans-
fer date of the course

2. At the end of the term, final grades are available on
eSantaFe at the SFC Web site, www.sfcc.edu.
3. Forgiveness Policy: Courses in which a grade of D or
F was earned may be repeated for credit. All courses
attempted will appear on the transcript. Attempts
marked with a T are not included with calculating the
cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with
an R are included when calculating the cumulative
grade point average. The student will be allowed only
two repeat attempts per course. Students should be
aware that some colleges or universities may not ac-
cept 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 Finan-
cial Aid office to ensure that the repeat course will
46 count toward their financial aid award.
4. Grade point averages are determined by computing the
ratio of grade points earned to semester hours attempt-
ed. 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 mini-
mum grade point average of 3.5.
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 available for selected courses.
Qualified students are invited to participate in the Honors
Program each term. Every Honors course is specially noted
on the official SFC transcript. Upon completion of the pro-
gram requirements, students receive an Honors designa-
tion 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
• 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 SFC, and
2. two faculty recommendations and completion of ap-
plication;
OR
3. special approval by the Honors Program coordinator
Incoming students with strong high school records and
students who are interested in Honors courses are encour-
ing, room 253.
Individual Study
Individual Study will satisfy general education require-
ments for the Associate of Applied Science degree pro-
vided that no more than three 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 three semester hours of credit can be ap-
plied to any one Individual Study request. An Individual
Study may not duplicate any preexisting course in the col-
lege curriculum. Forms are available in the offices of the
chairs and academic directors.
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 meth-
ods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the stu-
dent’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 and Scheduling Office, located in the Robert-
son Administration Building, room 15, to have the course
created. Students will register for Individual Study courses
with their copy of the form on or before the last day to add
classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual
Study credit is awarded and applied to the transcript at the
end of the term.
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 Col-
lege 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 univer-
sities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion of
that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in the
United States Air Force.
The General Military Course examines the role of U.S.
military forces in the contemporary world with particular
attention to the United States Air Force, its organization
and mission. The functions of strategic offensive and
defensive forces, general purpose and aerospace support
forces are covered. The development of air power over the
last 200 years is examined by tracing the various concepts
of employment of air power and by focusing on factors
which prompted research and technological change. A
variety of events and elements in the history of air power
are stressed, especially where these provide significant
examples of the impact of air power on strategic thought.
To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course,
contact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at the UF, (352)
392-1355.
Army ROTC
Santa Fe College offers the Army Reserve Officer’s Train-
ing Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military
obligation by taking this course of instruction and are
eligible to compete for two- and three-year scholarships.
These scholarships can be used at any four-year institution
that offers Army ROTC. The scholarships pay all tuition,
textbook, laboratory fees and other purely educational
expenses.
Students who successfully complete two years of college
and the basic course will be given a certificate of training
allowing them, upon transfer, to enroll in the Army ROTC
Advanced Course. This leads to a reserve or regular com-
mission as a second lieutenant in the Active Army, Army
Academic Affairs
Reserve or National Guard. Students who do not transfer
to an upper division college and who desire to enlist in the
Army may be able to do so at a higher pay level.
To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course,
contact the Army ROTC Detachment at UF, (352) 392-1395.
Fee Waivers
Sixty Plus Fee Waivers
Santa Fe College will waive registration fees (not lab, ma-
terials 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 offered through the Center for Busi-
ness. For Community Education, registration waivers are
available after the pre-registration period ends, and if a
class has space available and has covered 125 percent of its
operating costs. Some Community Education classes do
not offer 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.
State Employee Tuition Fee Waivers
In accordance with Section 1009.265, Florida Statutes,
Santa Fe College will waive tuition and fees (excluding
application, lab fees, or access fees) for state employees to
enroll for up to six 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 ex-
cludes 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 may 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.

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 math-
ematics.
SFC 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 6A-10.0311, FAC, 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 appropriate academic support labs prior to re-
taking 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 more CLAST information, contact the CLAST office in
G-25 or call 395-5791.

Credit by Examination
Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articula-
tion 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.
SFC students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours of course
credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed be-
low; 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 examination without prior notice.

Defense Activity of
Non-Traditional Education
Support (DANTES)
The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike
Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum.
Rather, they are designed to test students’ knowledge of a
variety of college level subjects, regardless of where they
may have learned the material. Transfer of credit is based
on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recom-
mended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit
guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade
points assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R,
room 101) for further information.
Advanced International
Certificate of Education
Program (AICE)
The AICE program is an international, advanced second-
ary 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 guar-
anteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points
assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R, room
101) for further information.
Excelsior College Examinations
Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the
Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Exami-
nation Program) are developed by Excelsior College using
national committees of faculty consultants and national
studies to assess how well the tests measure the perfor-
mance of students in actual college courses. Excelsior Col-
lege Examinations are approved by the American Council
on Education, and Excelsior College itself is accredited
by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinat-
ing Committee’s recommended minimum scores and
maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no
letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of
Records (Building R, room 101) for further information.
Department Credit by
Examination
Students wishing to earn course credit by passing a de-
partmental examination should consult the department
in which the course is taught. Students may not apply for
course credit through an SFC Credit Examination if a CLEP
examination is available. Students should be aware that
SFC 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 SFC (receiv-
ing 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 examina-
52
tion. 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 dur-
ing the period between official college terms or on official
college holidays.
Procedure for SFC Department Credit by
Examination
1. Students complete a Credit by Examination applica-
tion available in the offices of academic chairper-
sons and directors.
2. Completed applications are presented to depart-
ment or discipline chair or director. If the applica-
tion is approved, the chair or director will explain
how the examination will be administered ac-
cording to current procedures. Depending on the
discipline or program area, either individual exami-
nation dates for each student or a common exami-
nation date for all students will be set each term.
3. Requests are presented to the appropriate chair or
director for approval (signature).
4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier’s window
in the Robertson Administration Building for pay-
ment of the $15 examination fee.
5. The application is returned by students to the dis-
cipline/program area examiner indicated in step 2
above.
6. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner
will forward the results (application) to the appro-
priate office and will also telephone that office to
verify the test grade. The completed examination
will be placed in the division’s Credit by Examina-
tion 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 (Building R,
room 101) for final recording. Students must allow
one week after completion of the examination be-
fore 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 be-
yond 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 College
may receive college credit upon request after registering at
SFC. Santa Fe College will not accept Tech Prep credit that
is earned at a high school with whom the college has no
prior articulation agreement.

Administrative Assistant Danielle Paulsen, B-213, The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences believes all
54
(352) 381-3646 students deserve the opportunity to strive for academic
excellence in an environment that both respects and sup-
ports diverse learners. The division provides a multidisci-
plinary breadth of knowledge from the perspectives of a
wide range of academic subjects. This foundation prepares
students for success in higher education, career and per-
sonal goals.
Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree
The college offers the Associate of Arts degree to students
wishing to transfer to a four-year college upon graduation
from Santa Fe College.
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 re-
quired 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 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 ad-
visors, students should choose electives that will be most
advantageous in the pursuit of their intended bachelor’s
degrees. Each upper division university annually pub-
lishes counseling manuals for every major offered at that
institution. Each state university has a designated articula-
tion 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 gen-
eral 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 with
an assigned ID code of P (Parallel). Courses des-
ignated O (Occupational) are not guaranteed for
acceptance 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).
Programs of Study
• Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obliga-
tions 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 College develops the student’s professional, intellectual
and social skills, thereby facilitating understanding of, and
involvement in, cultural, political and natural environ-
ments. General education provides critical competencies
students need in today’s society, to succeed in the work-
place, and to transfer education.
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, listen-
ing 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, po-
litical, cultural and scientific bodies of knowledge,
their historical development and their continuing
influence;
• gain an appreciation for diversity in the world com-
munity; and
• understand the importance of civic and social par-
ticipation and informed decision making.
The general education requirements at Santa Fe College
are met by a minimum of 36 credit hours representing
communication and mathematical skills and introduc-
tions 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.
Gordon Rule (6A-10.030)
1. In addition to assessments that may be adopted by
the State Board of Education or Board of Governors to
measure student achievement in college-level com-
munication 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 55
public community college or university, or prior to
 www.sfcc.edu
entry into the upper division of a public university or
college, a student shall complete successfully the fol-
lowing:
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 assign-
ments. 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 pur-
poses 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 interna-
tional baccalaureate instruction pursuant to Rule
6A-10.024, Florida Administrative Code (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 re-
quirements in subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C., to the
extent of the college credit awarded.
3. Exemptions and Waivers. Any public community col-
lege or university desiring to exempt its students from
the requirements of subsection 6A-10.030(2), F.A.C.,
56 shall submit an alternative plan to the Department of
Education. Upon approval of the plan by the Depart-
ment, the plan shall be submitted to the State Board
of Education or the Board of Governors as appropri-
ate. 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 Writing Courses
Santa Fe 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 discipline-based writing compo-
nent 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-appro-
priate diction, conventions, and rhetorical strategies.
In a writing intensive course, students are expected to pro-
duce 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.

Biotechnology (BTN) -
Associate of Science 3621
The Biotechnology Laboratory Technology Program at
Santa Fe College provides for new career opportunities
through enhanced science and technical education. In
addition to meeting the need of the emerging regional bio-
technology industry for entry-level laboratory technicians,
the program provides a sound basis for further education
in the sciences by giving students hands-on biotechnol-
ogy laboratory experience. The program is sustained by a
formal partnership between SFC, the University of Florida,
and industries related to biotechnology. The curriculum,
faculty and facilities were established with guidance from
local employers to meet student needs.
The goal of the Biotechnology Laboratory Technology Pro-
gram is to develop competent and professional laboratory
technicians proficient in entry-level techniques that have
a high degree of adaptability. A further aim is to develop
the qualities of leadership and scholarship that will allow
qualified graduates to pursue baccalaureate educational
opportunities. The program is administered in compli-
ance with the curriculum frameworks as governed by the
State of Florida Department of Education.
Admission to the program requires a 2.0 overall GPA on
college transcripts, and successful completion of two se-
mesters of a chemistry sequence, basic mathematics, core
biology, and microbiology. Students interested in the A.S.
degree in Biotechnology Laboratory Technology should
apply after their first academic year, and should complete
the program in three semesters. Students may apply to
the program for admission during the semester they take
BSC1404C, and students who have completed a techni-
cal certificate in biotechnology at their high school may
qualify for advanced placement.
Upon completion of the core program, students earn an
Associate of Science degree from Santa Fe College. Gradu-
ates are prepared to seek entry-level employment as labo-
ratory technicians competent in preparing solutions and
reagents, operating scientific instrumentation, preparing
samples for analysis, using recombinant DNA techniques,
culturing mammalian cells, purifying and/or character-
izing DNA and proteins, and collecting and assessing data.
These competencies are fundamental to the development
of products from biological systems and basic research.
In addition, with proper course selection and additional
course work, students can earn an Associate of Arts (A.A.)
degree, and be prepared to apply to various upper divi-
sion programs for further education. Students who have
previously completed a degree program and have the
prerequisite course work in mathematics, chemistry, and
biology can complete an Advanced Technical Certificate in
Biotechnology Manufacturing.
Students interested in the Biotechnology Laboratory Tech-
64 nology Program should complete an application for admis-
sion to SFC. This requires that students arrange for official
transcripts from high school, as well as official transcripts
from any postsecondary institution attended, to be sent to
the Office of Records. Unofficial transcripts may be used
for initial advisement purposes only and will not be used
for program admission consideration.

The purpose of the Construction and Technical Pro-
grams is to prepare individuals for initial employment
and upgrading or retraining in a wide range of industrial
occupations. Individuals completing Construction and
Technical Programs are qualified to function as skilled
or semi-skilled workers. Instruction is provided: (1) in
a classroom setting for technical-related theory, safety,
mathematics, and science; and (2) in a laboratory and shop
setting for manipulative skill development and on-the-job
experience. The college also utilizes apprenticeship and
cooperative methods of instruction.
The programs provide a wide range of opportunities to
enhance current employment and to provide a career lad-
der for advancement. Students who choose to change their
majors at SFC may have their transcripts evaluated for
credit toward our degrees. It is possible for students who
have partially completed general education requirements
toward an A.A. degree to transfer these credits toward the
A.S. or A.A.S. degree.
A program advisor is available in the Construction and
Technical Program director’s office to provide information
about the programs as well as admission, advisement and
registration assistance to prospective, currently enrolled
and returning students. For an appointment call (352)

Automotive Service Management Technology
- Associate of Applied Science 2604
The Santa Fe College A.A.S. degree in Automotive Service
Management Technology is a two-year program designed
to upgrade the technical competence and the professional
Programs of Study
level of the incoming technician. The curriculum is de-
signed by the college in cooperation with local dealership
personnel and independent repair facility owners.
The program involves not only classroom lectures and lab-
oratory experiences on modern vehicles and components
at the college, but also requires the student to work at a lo-
cal 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 class-
room and lab time on campus followed by eight weeks of
work experience time. Then the student returns to SFC for
eight weeks of study in another specialized area followed
by eight weeks of related work experience. This rotation
continues until the two-year program is completed. The
cooperative work experience is a paid experience and the
work time can be credited toward the ASE certification
work experience requirement.
The automotive industry has become an exciting and
challenging field with the advent of advanced electronic
control systems. This program is designed to raise the skill
level of the potential automotive technician to beyond that
of general automotive training programs. Although the
program requires much effort and dedication on the part
of the student, the rewards awaiting the program complet-
er are well worth the time and effort.
Santa Fe College’s Automotive Program is “Master Certi-
fied” by the National Automotive Technicians Education
Foundation (NATEF) to meet the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) standards of quality.
The program has received state and national awards from
the Automotive Industry Planning Council (AIPC), com-
posed of members of the National Association for Career
and Technical Education (ACTE), representatives of the au-
tomobile manufacturing industry (AAM) and the National
Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
Scholarships will be awarded annually to provide financial
assistance to eligible graduating seniors from Alachua and
Bradford counties who attend Santa Fe College.

The mission of the Building Construction Program at
Santa Fe College is to promote and improve construction
education in our geographic area by providing construc-
tion management training for entry-level practitioners in
residential and light commercial construction.
Growth in the state of Florida and changes in the construc-
tion industry mandate that builders and their supervisory
employees have business and management skills in addi-
tion to being knowledgeable in the construction trades and
the construction process. Associate of Applied Science de-
gree graduates from the Building Construction Program at
Santa Fe understand basic principles of business and have
knowledge of the technical aspects of the construction in-
dustry. Graduates are able to function in the construction
office environment and on the job site.
The Building Construction Program at Santa Fe offers
building construction courses for three different types
of students. The Associate of Applied Science degree in
Building Construction Technology gives graduates techni-
cal skills required in the industry and blends business
management training for light construction in a two-year
degree program.

designed to prepare the graduate to transfer to a four-year
university and to pursue a bachelor’s degree in build-
ing construction. Several courses taught in the Associate
of Applied Science degree program transfer to four-year
institutions as either electives or as required upper divi-
sion courses with the graduate’s A.A. degree. Please check
degree requirements and transfer courses accepted by
BCN programs at upper level universities.

Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and
Heating Technology Certificate 7601
Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics
and installers held about 292,000 jobs in 2006; about 55
percent worked for plumbing, heating, and air-condition-
ing contractors. The rest were employed in a variety of
industries throughout the country, reflecting a widespread
dependence on climate-control systems. Some worked for
fuel oil dealers, refrigeration and air-conditioning service
and repair shops, schools, and stores that sell heating and
air-conditioning systems. Local governments, the federal
government, hospitals, office buildings, and other organi-
zations that operate large air-conditioning, refrigeration,
or heating systems also employed these workers. About 13
percent of these workers were self-employed. With average
job growth and numerous expected retirements, heating,
air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and install-
ers should have excellent employment opportunities.
To meet this demand for skilled mechanics, SFC offers a

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 gradu-
ates.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is one of the old-
est 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 consis-
tent 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 diag-
nostic tests to assess the condition of a patient’s cardio-
vascular system. Additionally, the technologist helps the
physician with interventional techniques such as balloon
angioplasty and pacemaker implantation procedures de-
signed 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, arte-
rial blood gas analysis, bronchoscopy, polysomnography
(sleep studies), and exercise metabolic studies.
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 cardiac abnormalities such as valvular problems, flow
irregularities, and decreased cardiac function. Associated
tests include electrocardiography (ECG), Holter monitor-
ing, exercise stress testing, stress echocardiography, and
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
Peripheral Vascular Studies
The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultra-
sound imaging, Doppler sonography, 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
Programs of Study
vascular ultrasound include transcranial Doppler, dialysis
access site evaluation, renal ultrasound, and abdominal
vascular ultrasound.

sociation 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 compe-
tency in all dental assisting skills.
The Dental Hygiene program is designed to educate the
dental hygiene student to work in private practice, re-
search, 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 SFC Dental Clinic.

sional 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 fall term each year and complete
twenty-two (22) months of combined academic and clini-
cal 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 clini-
cal experience.
Upon completion of the program, students receive an As-
sociate of Science degree and a program certificate from
Santa Fe College. Graduates are eligible to take the nation-
al certification examinations administered by the Ameri-
can Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear
Medicine Technology Certification Board. Persons passing

Respiratory Care
Program Director: Mr. Paul Stephan

Respiratory Care - Associate of Science 3310
Respiratory care is a specialty instrumental in the diag-
nosis, 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,
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
sage, 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
intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), cardio-
pulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway
management, pulmonary function studies, blood gas
retrieval and analysis, and physiologic monitoring.
The Respiratory Care Program at Santa Fe College is fully
accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respi-
ratory Care. The program prepares its graduates to take
virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by
the National Board for Respiratory Care, and also provides
a sound technical and theoretical base from which the
student can have the educational advantage of lateral and
upward mobility. An advanced standing policy is available
for those applicants and students with previous respiratory
therapy experience and/or education.

Surgical Technology Certificate 7338
The certified surgical technologist (CST) is a key mem-
surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges in
an efficient manner during surgery. Under the supervision
of the surgeon, a CST may be involved in holding retrac-
tors 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, consider-
able 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 departments,
and ambulatory care centers. There are also jobs in medi-
cal sales, product development, and management roles
in surgical services and research. In addition, CSTs are
employed directly by surgeons as “private scrubs” and/
or surgical first assistants. They have served in the Peace
Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number
of them are instructors and directors of surgical technol-
ogy programs.
The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation
Review Committee on Surgical Technology Education.
Graduates are qualified to take the NBSTSA National
Certification Examination. Achieving the CST credential is
crucial for professional recognition and advancement.

Sonography, better known as diagnostic medical sonog-
raphy (DMS) at Santa Fe College, is a 12-month certificate
program conducted in cooperation with 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. This expanded
group must complete required prerequisite course work.
Graduates are eligible to take the national certification
examinations offered by the American Registry of Diag-
nostic 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 con-
tinue, 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 ad-
ditional academic preparation, other career opportunities
may become available in areas such as education, manage-
ment, research and technical advisement.

Graphic Design Technology -
Associate of Science 3619
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 Media specialization or an Interac-
tive Media Production specialization. Both specializations
are admitted into the program twice a year. Students also
have the option to take the Interactive Media Produc-
tion group of courses as a certificate, after completing the
Print Media track, for a more thorough preparation for
today’s evolving job market. Admission is competitive. The
Graphic Design Technology program requires a separate
application beyond initial acceptance to Santa Fe College.
Admission is based on faculty rankings of the departmen-
tal applications.
Potential students must take the College Placement Test
and complete all required 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 edu-
cation 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 software. The
students learn illustration, computer graphics, desktop
publishing, Web page design, electronic imaging, presen-
tation techniques, photography and design, and magazine
and newspaper advertising layout. Students learn about lo-
gos, brochures, newsletters, packaging, direct mail design,
outdoor advertising, point-of-purchase 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.
Graduates work for profit and non-profit agencies in a
variety of professional settings including entertainment,
advertising, marketing, merchandising, management,
education, science, technology, and sales. Designers may
choose to specialize in desktop publishing and computer
graphics, Web page design, digital photo manipulation,
illustration, or electronic prepress.

Paramedic Program
The Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit pro-
gram that is a minimum of 1100 clock hours in length and
takes three full semesters to complete. Current Florida cer-
tification 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 College’s Paramedic Program is fully ac-
credited by the Joint Review Committee for the Accredita-
tion of EMT-Paramedic Programs.
Upon successful completion of all components of the
Paramedic Program, students may be eligible to take the
state of Florida Paramedic Certification and/or the Na-
tional 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), 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/Physiol-
ogy sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).

Educator Preparation Institute

Coordinator: Frank Lagotic
The Educator Preparation Institute is an alternative
teacher certification program that trains nontraditional
students as K-12 teachers. EPI enrollees must have at least
a bachelor’s degree and Florida Department of Education
approval to teach in their subject area. Classes meet at
night and on weekends to accommodate those who work
full time. The program, which is short but intense, can be
completed in a year or less.
The college lends course textbooks to EPI students, which
saves them money. EPI instructors work or have worked for
the local school board, so they know the school system and
what the community needs. They also understand the re-
alities of today’s classroom situation and pass on the skills
they have learned.
More educators are needed to offset the state’s projected
teacher shortage. Santa Fe’s EPI seeks people who are
qualified to teach in high-need subject areas like reading,
mathematics and science. The program also seeks minori-
ties underrepresented in the teaching profession. For more
information visit www.sfcc.edu/epi.
