The Santa Fe Community College Endowment Corporation, Inc. is a not-for-profit
College Information
corporation organized under Florida law and is fiscally and organizationally sepa-
rate from the college.
Its purpose is to receive private gifts, bequests, and donations, and to account for,
manage and help appreciate monies or property submitted to the Corporation. Such
donations are totally tax deductible. Funds from the Corporation are distributed to
benefit and advance the college and for the encouragement and subsidization of stu-
dents and faculty of SFCC.
The Endowment Corporation Board of Directors is composed of selected persons
from Alachua and Bradford Counties who represent positive leadership and com-
munity influence and who have expressed an interest and desire to use their influ-
ence on behalf of the college through the Endowment Corporation.
The Endowment Corporation is prepared to support programs and activities of the
college which promote college objectives. Corporation activities and support include
but are not limited to:
• Financial aid for students
• Recognition of outstanding scholarship or leadership
• Recognition of outstanding teaching
• Development of special facilities
• Awards for special achievement
• Management and investment of funds
• Support of the college library
• Procurement of special equipment
• Planning for special college activities and programs
• Development of district-wide interest in support of the college

Alfred B. Watson Family Youth Challenge Scholarship
Francis B. Watson Scholarship Fund
Jeffrey Mattison Wershow Memorial Scholarship
Rosa B. Williams/Shands at UF Minority Scholarship
Hung-sen Wu Memorial Scholarship
Irene Zimmerman Memorial Scholarship
These programs provide funds for more than 475 students annually in the form of
financial assistance to attend college, usually in the form of tuition, books and inci-
dental expenses. These and other funds for the Endowment Corporation are gener-
ously contributed by more than 50 major donors.
The college has expanded education programs by increasing the number of classes
offered by electronic means such as the Internet, cable television, videocassettes and
live broadcasts to the SFCC centers. More than 3,000 students take Internet classes
through the Open Campus.
SFCC has had only four presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was president from
1965 to 1971, when he was succeeded by Alan J. Robertson. Dr. Larry W. Tyree was
named president in 1990 and was succeeded on Jan. 1, 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.
The growth and expansion of the college have two main causes: educational pro-
grams that are designed to meet the needs of students and a helpful learning envi-
ronment 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 pro-
gram intend to transfer to four-year colleges or universities. SFCC sends more stu-
dents to the University of Florida than does any other institution, with 2,500 trans-
ferring to UF each year. Many former SFCC students go to other four-year schools,
public and private, in and out of state.
The Associate of Science degree and certificate programs, called Technology and
Applied Sciences, consist generally of vocational programs that prepare students for
24 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
College Information
or go on to further higher education. Community Education offers non-credit leisure
courses for personal growth. In all its credit programs, the college offers classes in
several schedule formats to meet the needs of students.
Classes are offered to suit the schedules of students. In addition to full semesters,
SFCC has classes in a half semester format and evening and 7 a.m. classes. Weekend
classes are planned.
SFCC's Kirkpatrick Criminal Justice Training Center educates law enforcement
and corrections officer recruits and offers programs to retrain sworn officers. The
Kirkpatrick Center also trains students in the Emergency Medical Services, Fire
Sciences and Aviation Sciences programs. The college is dedicated to economic
development, and its Center for Business custom designs short and long courses for
professionals, business, industry and government.
The student centered learning environment at SFCC is sustained by a network of
counselors, advisors and helpful programs. Academic advisors give advice on class-
es to take. The student development offices help students decide upon a career or
further higher education. Academic support programs offer tutoring and personal
attention to help if students have difficulty in a subject.
Campus life is rounded out with a student government, student clubs, activities and
intramural athletics. The college competes intercollegiately in women's fastpitch
softball, men's baseball, and men's and women's basketball.
SFCC offers many cultural activities to enrich the community's quality of life. The
Santa Fe Gallery, located at the Northwest Campus, features local and contemporary
artists. Concerts, plays and dance performances offer students experience in the
performing arts and enrich the cultural life of the community. The Dance Theatre of
Santa Fe and Theatre Santa Fe hold numerous performances annually both on cam-
pus and at the Phillips Center, serving both the college and the public. Music Santa
Fe sponsors workshops and performances in diverse musical traditions, and the col-
lege's annual Shakespeare Festival has grown into a large community event. SFCC's
In 1983, the historic courthouse in Bradford County and some of the surrounding
properties were contributed to and purchased by the Santa Fe Community College
Endowment Corporation to establish a major academic center in Starke, Florida.
This $2.5 million asset includes a turn-of-the-century facility that is listed in the
National Register of Historic Places. Renovation of the historic courthouse was the
responsibility of the Endowment Corporation, which restored the interior to accom-
modate classrooms, laboratories, offices, a study room and student lounge. In addi-
tion to enhanced educational and cultural opportunities for all citizens of Bradford
County, the Andrews Center is an integral part of downtown redevelopment and
restoration.
In the spring of 1991, the Andrews Center Cultural building, a century old struc-
ture in downtown Starke, was renovated by private donations to the Endowment
Corporation. The $700,000 renovation project provides the college and the commu-
nity with a performing arts auditorium/theater seating 155 people, a facility for the
Eugene L. Matthews Historical Museum, and additional classroom and office space
for a growing Andrews Center.
In the fall of 2002, the Lillian Stump Education Center opened to provide the
Andrews Center with an approximately 4,000 square foot new facility, which
includes four major college classrooms and faculty and staff office space. The Stump

Blount Center
In 1988 the City of Gainesville deeded the old train depot on NW 6th Street to
the SFCC Endowment Corporation for the purpose of establishing an educational
center that would be accessible to those living in and around the downtown
area. Renovation of the old train station was the 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 served as "ambassadors of good will" throughout the
community.
In the spring of 1993 the SFCC Endowment Corporation purchased the old
Gainesville Gas Co. Building located on the corner of NW 6th Street and West
University Avenue. Renovation of the building was completed in the fall of 1993.
The project provided the center an opportunity to expand student services and pro-
vide additional upper level classes to our increased student population. In addition
26
to the enhancement of services and classes, the Phase II site houses the learning labs,
College Information
information commons, study-reference area and an art classroom.
In December 1993 the Downtown Center was named for Charles L. Blount, its major
contributor and fund raiser with more than $3 million contributed to establish the
center. Charles Blount and his wife Patsy established a $3 million scholarship pro-
gram at the college. The Blount Center has several purposes:
•To provide an outreach center and educational training facility for the
citizens in the central Gainesville area
•To provide training programs for major businesses, small businesses and
industry in the downtown area
•To provide training and educational programs for existing employees of the
city and county government that occupy the downtown complex
•To provide an opportunity for community meeting rooms at no cost to civic
clubs, business and professional groups, and underserved populations
An opportunity for a college education is offered at the Charles L. Blount Center
by means of a variety of college credit classes Monday through Thursday evenings.
These college classes, along with the regular day classes, make it easier for individu-
als to fit a college class into their busy schedules.
The SFCC Center for Business and Professional Development provides short-term,
non-credit "training for excellence" for people or companies desiring improvement
of skills. The center houses the Center for Business and Industry, the Continuing
Professional Education division, and the Computer Institute.

Watson Center
College Information
In January of 2005 the Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson Center opened
to assist students in southeast Bradford County and the surrounding Keystone
Heights-Lake Region area. The first building includes six general education class-
rooms, a computer lab, community boardroom, faculty and staff offices, community/
common meeting area and an office for the Bradford County Constitutional Officers
and Sheriff. The second building opened in January 2006 with six additional general
education classrooms, faculty offices and a state-of-the-art science laboratory.
The Santa Fe Community College Watson Center facility was made possible by Mr.
Watson’s total donation of $3.4 million. Mr. Watson’s commitment to the college was
further demonstrated by his generous gift which resulted in the establishment of
a $1.4 million permanently endowed Alfred B. Watson, Sr. and Agnes W. Watson
Scholarship.
The Watson Center will promote the advancement of higher education for southeast
Bradford County and the Keystone Heights-Lake Region area.
Open Campus
Beginning in the fall semester of 1998, the college made credit courses available to
students "any place, any time" through the Internet. These courses are administered
through the Open Campus, located in P-237 on the Northwest Campus. A wide
selection of courses is available to help students complete A.A., A.S., and A.A.S.
degrees or Technology and Applied Sciences certificates. All courses carry credit
equal to the same courses taught in traditional classrooms at any SFCC campus loca-
tion. Students interact with their instructor and classmates using discussion boards,
email, 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 arrange-
ments can be made for this at remote sites.
Santa Fe Community College
Because Open Campus classes offer the convenience and flexibility of attending col-
lege from a personal computer via the Internet, students can continue their educa-
tion while still managing a job, family activities or other classes. 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
email. The courses are designed to run with current computer technology and stu-
dents will need good, dependable access to the Internet. Prospective students should
complete the Learner Profile available on the Open Campus Web site: http://www2.

Academic Advisement - Associate of Arts Degree
http://admin.sfcc.edu/~aar/
Santa Fe Community College is committed to quality academic advising for all stu-
dents. The academic advising mission is to assist students in the attainment of their
educational goals. The Office of Academic Advisement is responsible for acting as
an information and referral center with timely and accurate information for students
regarding AA degree graduation requirements. Advisors help AA 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 academic 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: 395-5503
Advising Hours:
Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and
Friday from 1:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
No appointments; students are seen on a walk-in basis. Advisors
are also available at the branch campuses.

Selected eleventh and twelfth grade students who qualify through the CPT,
SAT, or ACT enroll in Technology and Applied Sciences Programs on campus.
Once accepted, students register for our full-time program enrolling in college
technology, high school and/or college academic coursework to fulfill high
school graduation requirements. There are over 30 career related areas from
which students may choose a major. (Technical programs not offered at the
Bradford Vocational Technical Center are available to Bradford High School
juniors and seniors.)
2. College Academic Dual Enrollment
Juniors and seniors who qualify through the CPT, SAT, ACT, and GPA are eli-
gible to become full-time College Academic Dual Enrollment students. These
students take all college academic courses which lead toward an Associate of
Arts degree. College courses also meet high school graduation requirements.
All Associate of Arts degree coursework offered through Dual Enrollment is
transferable to the State University System.
3. Fine Arts Dual Enrollment
Juniors and seniors may enroll in the full-time Fine Arts Dual Enrollment
Program. All students must qualify through the CPT, SAT, or ACT. Once
accepted, students register for College Fine Arts, high school and/or college
academic coursework to fulfill high school graduation requirements. College
Fine Arts courses also apply toward an Associate of Arts degree. College place-
ment scores determine eligibility for college level work. Fine Arts students
select a major and enroll in courses in the areas of studio art, music, dance or

Placement
Santa Fe Community College has a comprehensive assessment and placement
program to help students succeed in college. Rule 6A-10.315, College Preparatory
Testing, Placement and Instruction, states that first-time-in-college applicants for
admission into degree programs shall be tested for reading, writing and math-
ematics proficiency prior to the completion of initial registration, using the Florida
College Entry-Level Placement Test (CPT). Students who present scores on the SAT
or E-ACT that meet or exceed college-level placement scores may be exempted from
taking the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test. In compliance with this state
law, SFCC adheres to the following assessment procedures:
1. Students who submit no entry test scores will take the reading,
writing and mathematics subtests of the Florida College Entry-Level
Placement Test (Computerized Placement Tests-CPT) prior to registration.
Course placement will be based on these test scores. These scores are valid
for two years prior to initial registration.
2. Students who submit scores on the SAT or E-ACT that do not meet or
exceed college level placement scores in reading, writing and mathematics
will take the complete College Entry Level Placement Test (Computerized
Placement Tests-CPT). Official course placement will be based on the CPT
test scores. The SAT and E-ACT or CPT scores must be no more than
two years old.
3. Degree-seeking students who submit official scores on the SAT or E-ACT
that meet or exceed college level placement scores in all areas are exempt
from any additional entry assessment, provided that scores are no more than
two years old. However, the College-Level Math (CLM) portion of the CPT
must be taken to ascertain proper college-level math placement.
4. Students who are transferring from another college will follow steps 1, 2,
Santa Fe Community College
Test scores from this testing procedure will be entered on the student record and
will automatically generate appropriate flags.
Students who achieve the designated score on the CPT Elementary Algebra Test will
take the CLM for college-level mathematics placement. Transfer students who have
not completed their college-level mathematics requirements must take the CLM.
Note: Test scores that are more than two years old are not acceptable for entry
course placement. New students or readmit students will take the computer literacy
examination as part of their entry.
The purpose of college entry assessment is to determine the appropriate courses for
which students should enroll when they enter the college. Students who score below
the state designated level for placement into college level courses are required to
enroll in appropriate college preparatory courses. These courses earn institutional
credit; however, they are not counted as required or elective credit for the Associate
38 of Arts or Associate of Science degree.
Students with college level reading and English placement scores will enroll in
Admissions
College Composition (ENC1101). College Composition is required of all first semes-
ter 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 Orientation
Attending orientation is one of the most important things you can do to get started
on the right foot in college. Orientation is where you’ll meet other new students,
learn about college policies and procedures, talk with an academic advisor, and reg-
ister for courses. Students are invited to orientation upon completion of the place-
ment testing requirement. For more information, visit the orientation Web site at
http://admin.sfcc.edu/~orientation/.
Admissions Criteria
High school graduation (college-ready or standard diploma) or a high school
equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state Board of Education is required of all
applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SFCC with
four exceptions:
• Non-high school graduates 18 years of age, or older students possessing cer-
tificates of completion, are eligible to enroll for certain certificate courses only.
• Early admission students will be accepted only from the college district upon
the recommendation of the Alachua or Bradford County School Boards in
accordance with the regulations set by those organizations.
• Alachua or Bradford County senior high school students are permitted to
enroll in individual credit courses on recommendation of their high school
the past actions of any person applying for admission or enrollment and may deny
admission or enrollment to an applicant because of misconduct if determined to be
in the best interest of the college. Santa Fe reserves the right to refuse admission or
re-enrollment or to place conditions on admission or re-enrollment of applicants
and students whom Santa Fe determines would be disruptive of the orderly process
of the college’s programs, would interfere with the rights and privileges of other
students or employees, and/or would represent a safety risk to Santa Fe students,
employees or property. Applicants/students have the right to appeal any decision to
the Vice President for Student Affairs within ten calendar days of the date the notice
was received.
Transient Students
Students attending other postsecondary institutions who wish to take courses at
Santa Fe Community College and transfer the credit back to their institutions may
be admitted to Santa Fe as transient students. These students should apply for
admission and pay the application fee. They are also required to present a transient
form or any official statement from their institution that they are in good standing
and that the credits earned will be accepted as part of their degree program at the
home institution. In order for a transient student to be exempt from prerequisites,
the transient letter must list the courses the student is authorized to take.
The deadline for applying to the college, with all supporting documents for any
given term, is the last day of late registration published each term in the college
course registration guide. This date is subject to change without notice. Please refer
to the Enrollment Services Web site for updated information regarding admissions
deadlines.
All students are strongly encouraged to apply early and complete all registration
procedures before the first day of class.
Admissions
directory information exclusion request with the Office of Records (Building R,
room 101). Upon written request from a student, the custodians of educational
records will insure that all access rights specified by this act will be accorded within
three business days after a request has been made.
Each semester, the college prepares a listing containing the name, address, and tele-
phone number of each student enrolled. Copies of that listing are occasionally made
available to companies who wish to contact SFCC students. Any student who wants
his or her information excluded from the college directory must file the request
before the first day of class for the full term. A directory exclusion request will
remain in effect until rescinded in writing by the student. Names of students who
have requested directory exclusion will not be printed in the commencement book
for the graduation ceremony.
The college has designated the following individuals, by virtue of their responsibili-
ties, as custodians of educational records:
Vice President for Student Affairs
Portia Taylor
College Registrar
Lynn Sullivan
If students wish to challenge the accuracy of their educational records, questions
may be settled through informal hearings or upon the request of either party (the
educational institution or the eligible student) through formal proceedings which
will be conducted in compliance with this statute. These procedures are intended
to apply only to challenges to the accuracy of institutional records containing the
grade assigned. Thus, eligible students could seek to correct an improperly recorded
grade, but could not, through the hearing requested pursuant to this law, contest
whether the teacher should have assigned a higher grade because the parents or stu-
dent believe that the student was entitled to a higher grade.
Residence Classification
For the purpose of assessing matriculation and tuition fees, a student shall be clas-
sified as a “resident” or “non-resident” based upon Florida Statute 1009.21. A
complete copy of the state statute follows. Please contact the Office of Enrollment
Services if you have questions about your initial residency classification or the
Records Office if you would like to petition to reclassify your residency status.
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 community colleges and universities.
41
(1) As defined under this section:
Admissions
• The term “dependent child” means any person, whether or not living with his
parent, who is eligible to be claimed by his parent as a dependent under the
Federal Income Tax Code.
• The term “institution of higher education” means any of the constituent
institutions under the jurisdiction of the State University System or the State
Community College System.
• A “legal resident” or “resident” is a person who maintained his residence in
this state for the preceding year, has purchased a home which is occupied by
him as his residence, or has established a domicile in this state pursuant to
222.17.
• The term “parent” means the natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of a
dependent child. Example: A “resident for tuition purposes” is a person who
qualifies as provided in subsection (2) for the in-state tuition rate; a “non-resi-
dent for tuition purposes” is a person who does not qualify for the in-state
tuition rate.
(2) To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes:
• A person or, if that person is a dependent child, his parent or parents must
have established legal residence in this state for at least 12 months immediately
prior to his qualification.
• Every applicant for admission to an institution of higher education shall be
required to make a statement as to his length of residence in this state and, fur-
ther, 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 domi-
cile, rather than for the purpose of maintaining a mere temporary residence or
abode incident to enrollment in an institution of higher education.
• However, with respect to a dependent child living with an adult relative other
than the child’s parent, such child may qualify as a resident for tuition purpos-
es if the adult relative is a legal resident who has maintained legal residence in
Santa Fe Community College
this state for at least 12 months immediately prior to the child’s qualification,
provided the child has resided continuously with such relative for the 5 years
immediately prior to the child’s qualification, during which time the adult rela-
tive has exercised day-to-day care, supervision, and control of the child.
• The legal residence of a dependent child whose parents are divorced, sepa-
rated, or otherwise living apart will be deemed to be this state if either parent
is a legal resident of this state, regardless of which parent is entitled to claim,
and does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent pursuant to federal individual
income tax provisions.
(3) An individual shall not be classified as a resident for tuition purposes and, thus,
shall not be eligible to receive the in-state tuition rate until he has provided such
evidence related to legal residence and its duration as may be required by officials
of the institution of higher education from which he seeks the in-state tuition rate.
(4) With respect to a dependent child, the legal residence of such individual’s parent or
parents is prima facie evidence of the individual’s legal residence, which evidence
may be reinforced or rebutted, relative to the age and general circumstances of the
individual, by the other evidence of legal residence required of or presented by the
individual. However, the legal residence of an individual whose parents are domi-
ciled 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
42 or reregistering at the institution of higher education at which resident status for
tuition purposes is sought.
(5) In making a domiciliary determination related to the classification of a person as
Admissions
a resident or nonresident for tuition purposes, the domicile of a married person,
irrespective of sex, shall be determined, as in the case of an unmarried person, by
reference to all relevant evidence of domiciliary intent. For the purposes of this
section:
• A person shall not be precluded from establishing or maintaining legal resi-
dence in this state and subsequently qualifying or continuing to qualify as a
resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage to a person domi-
ciled outside this state, even when that person’s spouse continues to be domi-
ciled 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 resi-
dence in this state and subsequently to have qualified or continued to qualify
as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason of marriage to a person
domiciled in this state.
• In determining the domicile of a married person, irrespective of sex, the fact of
the marriage and the place of domicile of such person’s spouse shall be deemed
relevant evidence to be considered in ascertaining domiciliary intent.
(6) Any nonresident person, irrespective of sex, who marries a legal resident of this
state or marries a person who later becomes a legal resident may, upon 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 resident for tuition purposes but
who, while enrolled in an institution of higher education in this state, loses his
resident tuition status because he or, if he is a dependent child, his parent or par-
ents establish domicile or legal residence elsewhere, shall continue to enjoy the

Financial Aid
College Expenses
Many students who need financial assistance are able to obtain help through schol-
arships, loans, grants and part-time work. Financial aid programs at SFCC include
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant, Federal Work-Study,
Federal Direct Student Loan, Santa Fe Scholarship, Florida Student Assistance Grant,
Florida Bright Futures Scholarships, and Federal Plus Loan. These programs are
financed by federal, state and institutional funds. Awards are made on an academic
year basis and the amount of assistance is determined by individual need, student
eligibility, and availability of funds.
SFCC’s Board of Trustees makes a number of scholarship awards to outstanding
students, including scholarships for Athletics, the College Achievement Program,
Academics (Honors and Need-Based), Creative Arts, Public Service, Student
Ambassador, Student Government, and Technology and Applied Sciences scholar-
ships. In addition, there are privately funded scholarships offered to SFCC stu-
dents by Santa Fe's Endowment Corporation. Inquiries should be directed to the
Scholarships Office, Building R, room 132, in the student services complex or by
calling (352) 395-5470.
Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid by March 15 for the following
academic year starting with the fall term. Detailed information concerning finan-
cial aid applications is available in the financial aid handbook. You may obtain
this information by visiting the Financial Aid Web site at http://admin.sfcc.edu/
~financialaid/, or writing to the Financial Aid Office, 3000 NW 83rd Street, Building
R, room 122, , Gainesville, Florida, 32606, or by calling (352) 395-5480.
Official Withdrawal
A student may officially withdraw from one course or from the college prior to the
late withdrawal deadline published each term in the college course registration
guide.
As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1998, a student who completely with-
draws may be required to repay a percentage of Title IV Federal Financial Aid funds
received.
College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full for coursework
dropped during the drop/add period or canceled by the college. However, the feder-
al refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiv-
ing financial aid and completely withdrawing from the college.
For specific information about the refund/repayment policy, please visit the
Financial Aid Web site at http://admin.sfcc.edu/~financialaid/fedrepay.htm or call a
financial aid specialist at (352) 395-5480.

Students should direct inquiries related to Social Security benefits to their local
Social Security office. SFCCs Office of Records will certify student enrollment for the
Social Security Administration. Educational benefits are awarded through the Social
Security office.

insufficient funds or any other reason.
Any student who has paid for course registration fees with a check that is dishon-
ored for any reason must make immediate restitution to the college. After deter-
mination 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 contin-
ued beyond the point where the dishonored check has been rejected by the bank on
resubmission.
Student Fees
If you are not currently attending Santa Fe Community College you must submit
one of the following to the Office of Admissions, Building R, room 112:
• An original application with $30.00 fee, if you have never submitted a credit
application to SFCC. Or

B or summer C terms pay the following fees:
• Florida residents $66.85 per credit hour
• Non-Florida residents $252.55 per credit hour

International Students
Santa Fe Community College is authorized by the United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) to enroll non-immigrant alien students. These stu-
dents are required to complete and submit an international student application, an
official high school diploma (with official high school transcripts) and official tran-
scripts from any postsecondary school(s), both in their native language and an offi-
cial English translation. All applicants whose native language or exclusive language
of instruction is not English must submit a recent (two years or less) Test Of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination score with a minimum score of 400
on the paper test or 97 on the computer-based test. Please refer to the most recent

verify that they have sufficient funds to pay full college matriculation and tuition
fees, textbook costs, medical and living expenses, and health insurance. College
financial aid is not available to non-immigrant students. A non-immigrant stu-
dent 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-

Veterans Services
Student Affairs
All veterans and other eligible persons are encouraged to call or visit the SFCC
Veterans Affairs office located in Building R, room 103 on the Northwest Campus.
Santa Fe Community College is approved for the education and training of veter-
ans and other eligible persons under all public laws now in effect. Students who
may be eligible for educational benefits under any United States Veterans Affairs
program are urged to contact the SFCC office as soon as application is made to the
college. Students expecting to receive benefits must also file an application for USVA
benefits at the Santa Fe Community College Veteran's Affairs office. The college's
Veteran's Affairs office will certify the student veteran for educational benefits based
on receipt of the student's registration for class attendance each semester. The stu-
dent veteran or other eligible person must provide a registration slip to the SFCC
Veteran's Affairs office each semester the student desires to be certified for educa-
tional benefits. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs determines eligi-
bility for educational benefits based on documents provided by the SFCC Veterans
Affairs office.
The SFCC Veterans Affairs office has been established to help campus veterans and
other eligible persons attain their educational goals and to help them in applying
for educational benefits. The office will provide eligible persons with information
on programs and offerings such as work study, tutorial assistance and solving USVA
related eligibility issues.
Standards of Conduct
Conduct standards for veterans at SFCC are the same as those for all students
and are set forth in the Student Handbook. If a veteran is suspended or dismissed
from the college, action will be taken by the college to terminate the veteran's VA
educational allowance.
65 65
Deferred Tuition Payments
Student Affairs
Deferment of tuition for veterans and other eligible program participants is set
forth in Statute 240.345; 6A-14.054, Florida Administrative Code. The F.A.C.
allows eligible program participants one 60-day deferment for the payment of
registration fees in each student academic year. This deferment may be extended
or granted more than once an academic year due to educational benefit payment
delays beyond the control of the eligible Santa Fe Community College student.
Each eligible student who receives a deferment shall first sign a promissory note
made payable to the college for the amount of the deferred fees. Such notes are
exempt from the State of Florida documentary stamp requirements.
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 with-
drawal 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 persons' attendance, progress and certification, the fol-
lowing procedures are to be followed:
I. Attendance
The IHL program participant must notify the Santa Fe Community College
Veterans Affairs office of any change in student status. Student withdrawal
from a class will be reported to the USVA within 30 days of the withdrawal.
The NCD program participant enrolled in a vocational certificate program
who accumulates three (3) or more unexcused absences during any calendar
month will be interrupted for USVA benefits. The USVA will be notified by the
college's VA office to suspend benefits due to lack of attendance. Three unex-
cused tardinesses will count as one absence.
II. Academic Progress
Santa Fe Community College
The program participant's rate of progress toward his or her educational goal
is as follows:
The program participant may be certified to repeat a course in which an
unsatisfactory grade has been received. USVA educational benefits will be
terminated when the student's GPA is below 2.0 for two consecutive terms.
The college's Veterans Affairs office is available to assist program participants
in reinstatement of educational benefits following successful completion of
one semester attaining above a 2.0 GPA. Program participants are encouraged
to seek academic advisement, attend tutorial labs or seek assistance from the
college's Veteran's Affairs office to avoid academic suspension of USVA educa-
tional benefits.
66 66
All W grades are considered to be punitive and will be reported as required to
Student Affairs
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 by the end of the next major term. A
student should not re-register for a course to make up an incomplete grade. The
program participant must complete the course requirements, changing the incom-
plete to a letter grade..
Mitigating Circumstances
Mitigating circumstances are situations that directly hinder a program partic-
ipant'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 Community College;
4. Active duty in military service, including active duty for training;
5. Actions by the program participant such as seeking tutorial assistance, SFCC
Veterans Affairs counseling, and/ or Santa Fe Community College academic
counseling in an attempt to remedy the unsatisfactory work before withdrawal
or completion.

Academic Affairs
Santa Fe Community College is responsible for providing its students with a learn-
ing-centered environment that includes educationally sound, high-quality programs
offered in an economical and efficient format. The continuation of students who lack
the ability, preparation or maturity to succeed is inconsistent with the college's mis-
sion and its responsibility as a tax-supported institution.
A student's standing at Santa Fe Community College will be determined by the rela-
tionship of hours attempted to grade points earned. To be considered in good stand-
ing 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.
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
Santa Fe Community College
establish the minimum number of grade points needed. From the grade record list-
ed 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:
Total
Grade Grade Attempted Grade
Points Hours Points
C 2 multiplied by 4 = 8
D 1 “ “ 3 = 3
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 student has earned 41 grade points. For the 27 credit
hours attempted (12 + 15 = 27), the student would need 54 grade points (27 times 2)
to maintain a C average. Therefore, this student has a 13 grade point deficit (54 -41 =
13) and will be placed on academic probation.
70 70
Example 3
Academic Affairs
New students 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 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.
Withdrawals
Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via
eSantaFe (web) or in the Records Office (Building R, room 101) up until the offi-
cial withdrawal date each term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/ses-
sion is available in the course registration guide and via eSantaFe.
A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade,
repeat grades and withdrawals. An “attempt” is defined as an enrollment in a
course where any grade is assigned or the student withdraws and receives a W.
Courses that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be count-
ed as an attempt.
The student will be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon
the third attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw and will receive
a grade for that course.
Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on a third attempt, a
student must pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal to the Non-Florida
Resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted
by the College Registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A petition for
71 71
waiver of the full fees must be requested before the end of drop/add for the term
Academic Affairs
or session in which the course is attempted for the third time. No waivers are
granted retroactively.
Academic Dismissal
A student returning after suspension will be on probation. If, at the end of the
term he or she returns, the grade point deficit is still 20 or more, the student will
be dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to
the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. After that time has passed,
the student may petition the college for possible readmission. Favorable action
is dependent upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate promise of suc-
cessful performance.
Exception to the Academic Dismissal rule: A student who earns a semester GPA
of 2.5 or higher in the first semester after returning from suspension or dismissal
will not be suspended, even if that student's overall deficit is more than 20 grade
points. Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher each term, the
student will remain enrolled on academic probation until good academic stand-
ing is achieved
pended, even if that student's overall deficit is more than 20 grade points. Should
the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher each term, the student will
remain enrolled on academic probation until good academic standing is achieved.
All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe's Standards of Progress using the
same criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer students entering with defi-
cit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e. academic warning
or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade points have
been earned to achieve a C average.
Transient Status
All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe's Standards of Progress using
the same criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer students entering with
deficit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, i.e. academic
warning or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient grade
points have been earned to achieve a C average.
72 72
Earning Credit While Suspended
Academic Affairs
A student while under suspension from another institution may not enroll at
Santa Fe Community 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.
Ombudsperson
Students having questions about obtaining access to a course or courses which,
if not taken, could impede their progress toward a degree, should contact the
college's ombudsman located in Building R, room 211. Assistant to the Vice
President for Student Affairs, Mr. John Cowart, is the college's ombudsman.
73 73
College Preparatory Program
Academic Affairs
74 74
Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in each college preparatory
Academic Affairs
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 pre-
paratory 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 cir-
cumstances. Petitions may be submitted at the College Prep Office, G-21.
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.
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. Registration for coop-
erative education classes is by Cooperative 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 employment job search. The work site may
provide experience to the student as a paid job or as a volunteer work experi-
ence, depending upon the employer’s current human resource needs and financial
resources. Once a site is established, the student will work a minimum of 10-20
hours per week and will receive financial compensation (if a paid site has been
75 75
developed) and one to three semester hours of credit for each co-op work assign-
Academic Affairs
ment. The student working 10-14 hours per week will receive one semester hour of
credit. The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive two semester hours of
credit. The student working 20-35 hours per week will receive three semester hours
of credit. A total of up to nine hours per year may be earned. Supervisors at the
student’s work site evaluate student performance during their cooperative education
experience. The cooperative education coordinator utilizes experiential type reports
and other assignments submitted by the student at the end of each term, combined
with the performance evaluation submitted by the site supervisor, to determine an
appropriate grade. Cooperative 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 GPA.

Catalog Year
Academic Affairs
Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements that must be fulfilled for
graduation. Students graduate under the catalog in effect at the time of their initial
enrollment at Santa Fe provided they maintain continuous enrollment (registration
for and completion of at least one course for one full term in an academic year).
Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment will be assigned the catalog in
effect at the time they readmit or resume enrollment. Students may choose to gradu-
ate 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
sometimes be discontinued and requirements may change as a result of curricular
review or actions by accrediting associations and other agencies.
Experiential Learning
Santa Fe Community College recognizes and awards credit by experience in some
vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to send requests for
experiential-learning credit to the appropriate academic program areas, following
completion of the Previous Experience/Training Credit Form. The academic depart-
ments request the appropriate documentation from the registrar to determine that
another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning.
Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined within each department.
Experiential credits based on work experience require a letter from the student's
employer documenting time in position, job title, duties, and employer contact infor-
mation. Experiential credit is usually granted only for internships. Credit granted
through this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps expe-
riential-learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from other institutions.

Attempts marked with a T are not included with calculating the cumulative
grade point average; attempts marked with an R are included when calculat-
ing 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 accept a grade of a repeated course, or may compute the
grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cau-
tioned to check with the Financial Aid office to ensure that the repeat course
will count toward their financial aid award.

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
Individual Study will satisfy general education requirements for the Applied
Associate of Applied Science degree provided that no more than 3 semester hours
of credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts degree,
Individual Study may not be used to meet the general education requirements
although it may be used as elective credit.
No more than 3 semester hours of credit can be applied to any one Individual
Study request. An Individual Study may not duplicate any preexisting course in
the college curriculum. Forms are available at the Curriculum, Scheduling, and
Information Web site.
The Individual Study form and outline must be typed. The outline must include
objectives, texts and/or materials, meeting times with the designated instructor,
and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student’s responsibility
rather than the instructor’s to prepare the outline. Individual Study forms must be
completed and submitted to the appropriate chairperson or academic director by
the first day of the term in which credit is to be awarded. Students must then submit
the form to the Curriculum, Scheduling, and Information Office, P-155, 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-
Santa Fe Community College
time Santa Fe Community College students are eligible to enroll in the General
Military Course taught at the University of Florida. Transferring at a later date to
one of the more than 140 colleges and universities offering Air Force ROTC can
lead, upon completion of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in
the United States Air Force.
The General Military Course, a two-year course, examines the role of U. S. mili-
tary forces in the contemporary world with particular attention to the United
States Air Force, its organization and mission. The functions of strategic 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 enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Air Force
ROTC Detachment at the University of Florida, (352) 392-1355.

Army ROTC
Academic Affairs
Santa Fe Community College offers the Army Reserve Officer’s Training Corps
(ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation by taking this course
of instruction and are eligible to compete for two-and three-year scholarships.
These scholarships can only be used at the University of Florida or any other
four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The scholarships pay all tuition,
textbooks, laboratory fees and other purely educational expenses.
Students who successfully complete two years of college and the basic course
will be given a certificate of training allowing them, upon transfer, to enroll in
the Army ROTC Advanced Course. This leads to a reserve or regular commis-
sion as a second lieutenant in the Active Army, Army Reserve or National Guard.
Students who do not transfer to an upper division college and who desire to
enlist in the Army may be able to do so at a higher pay level. To learn more or
enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Army ROTC Detachment at the
University of Florida, (352) 392-1395.

Academic Affairs
As a graduation requirement for the 21st century, Santa Fe Community College
has implemented a Computer Placement Exam (CPE) for all degree-seeking
students entering, transferring, or readmitting in Fall 2001 or later. Computer or
online courses that are less than 3 years old may exempt the student from tak-
ing the CPE. Students who are exempt based on courses will see a 992 on their
transcript for the CPE. The CPE requirement reflects the college's recognition that
computer literacy is an indispensable skill for academic achievement as well as
for a successful career after graduation.
The CPE, administered by computer in the Assessment Center, covers basic
knowledge of a PC with Windows and Microsoft Word, sending email, and navi-
gating the Internet through Internet Explorer. A score of 70 percent is considered
passing. The CPE can be taken all year on a walk-in basis at the Assessment
Center in G-25 or by appointment at the Blount, Davis and Andrews Centers.
Incoming students must take the CPE prior to completing 24 credit hours at
SFCC. Students are required to pass the CPE prior to graduation. Students who
do not pass the CPE the first time are offered options for remediation, including
a self-paced tutorial that can be purchased in the SFCC Bookstore. Students may
also take a tutorial through the Big Open Lab (BOL) in N-216.

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

The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike Advanced Placement, are
not built around curriculum, but rather are designed to test students’ knowledge of
a variety of college-level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned the
material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s
recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to
transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Records office
for further information.

Procedure for SFCC Department Credit by Examination
Academic Affairs
1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the offices
of academic chairpersons and directors.
2. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chairper-
sons. If the application is approved, chairpersons will explain how the exami-
nation will be administered according to current procedures. Depending on
the discipline or program area, either individual examination dates for each
student or a common examination date for all students will be set each term.
3. Requests are presented to the appropriate dean/chairperson/coordinator for
approval (signature).
4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier's window for payment of the $15
examination fee.
5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area exam-
iner indicated in Step 2 above.
6. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner will forward results (appli-
cation) to the appropriate office and telephone that office to academic affairs
verify the test grade. The completed examination will be placed in the divi-
sion's Credit by Examination file for the discipline or program area.
7. Students must then return to the office where the application was made, pick
up a copy of the signed form and take it to the Office of Records for final
recording. Students must allow one week after completion of the examination
before picking up the copy from the appropriate office.
8. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time after the lapse of
one full academic term beyond the term in which the first attempt was made.
Students may not attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in the same
course.

Mission
The mission in Liberal Arts and Sciences is to conduct every activity and center
every goal on that of the college's mission: to add value to the lives of our stu-
dents and to enrich our community. The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences
facilitates learning through:
• a strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate of Arts degree;
• career preparation, further academic study, and lifelong learning by students
with diverse backgrounds and goals;
96 96
• intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning, and
Programs of Study
problem-solving skills;
• the development of the individual by fostering an awareness of self, of diverse
opinions and cultures, and of one's responsibility within the global commu-
nity;
• the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline
areas; and
• a personalized, supportive learning environment that challenges students to
achieve high levels of academic performance.
Purpose
The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for students to:
Philosophy
The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences believes all students deserve the opportu-
nity to strive for academic excellence in an environment that both respects and sup-
ports diverse learners. The division provides a multidisciplinary breadth of knowl-
be able to choose courses within the required general education core that meet the
prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition, the Associate of Arts degree
requires 24 hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future
needs of each student upon transfer to upper division. Although the college will
make every attempt to advise students 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. Thus, with the help
of their advisors, students should choose electives that will be most advantageous
in the pursuit of their bachelor's degrees. Each upper division university annually
publishes counseling manuals for every major offered at that institution. Each state
university has a designated articulation officer to facilitate the transfer of commu-
nity college graduates to the state university system.
General Education
Santa Fe Community College
General education is the core preparation for life-long learning. It fosters a disci-
plined curiosity that leads to exploring the foundations and ranges of knowledge
in the arts and sciences. The general education program at Santa Fe Community
College develops the student's professional, intellectual and social skills, thereby
facilitating understanding of, and involvement in, cultural, political and natural
environments. General education provides critical competencies students need to
succeed in the workplace, to transfer education, and in today’s society.
Specifically, the student will:
• experience the perspectives of various disciplines that comprise the arts and
sciences and understand their inter-connection;
• gain the necessary foundation and depth and breadth of knowledge to become
an independent, creative, lifelong learner;
• develop effective writing, speaking, reading, listening and interpersonal skills;
• learn how to acquire, organize, evaluate, verify, present, interpret and use
information from various programs of study;
• sharpen problem-solving skills through deductive and inductive reasoning,
analysis, synthesis, and collaboration;
98 98
• develop the skills necessary to evaluate social, political, cultural and scientific
Programs of Study
bodies of knowledge, their historical development and their continuing influ-
ence;
• gain an appreciation for diversity in the world community; and
• understand the importance of civic and social participation and informed deci-
sion making.
The general education requirements at Santa Fe Community College are met by a
minimum of 36 credit hours representing communication and mathematical skills
and introductions to, or surveys of, the academic areas of history, humanities, natu-
ral 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.

high skills/high wage careers. Many Career and Professional Studies programs also
provide academic and technical preparation for completion of baccalaureate degrees
at four-year colleges and universities.
Local employers advise Career and Professional Studies program administrators
and instructors about trends in business and industry for which students must be
prepared. The curriculum is continuously upgraded to meet employer specifica-
tions.
Course requirements for each Career and Professional Studies program at the col-
lege are updated each year. To obtain the latest copy of course requirements, contact
the appropriate program advisor. Program advisors for Career and Professional
Studies programs are listed under the program advisor section below.

remaining six hours will be determined by the program of study. Some senior
institutions have established programs to build on the Associate of Science
degree. The General Education courses for the Associate of Science degree must
be selected from Associate of Arts courses that are designated transferable to
upper division institutions. Students wishing to transfer to senior institutions
should check with the upper division school which they expect to attend. See the

The purpose of the Construction and Technical Programs 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 employ-
ment and to provide a career ladder for advancement. Students who choose to
change their majors at SFCC may have their transcripts evaluated for credit toward
our degrees. It is possible for students who have partially completed general educa-
tion 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) 395-5361, email tom.mason@sfcc.edu or come by our
office on the Northwest Campus Building I, room 50.
The program involves not only classroom lecture and laboratory experiences on
modern vehicles and components at the college, but also requires the student to
work at a local dealership or independent repair facility. The program is unique
in design and is divided between specific periods of on-campus study and train-
ing followed by an equal amount of work experience at the sponsoring agency. For
example, the first semester involves eight weeks of classroom and lab time on cam-
pus followed by eight weeks of work experience time. Then the student returns to
SFCC for eight weeks of study in another specialized area followed by eight weeks
of related work experience. This rotation continues until the two-year program is
completed. The cooperative work experience is a paid experience and the work time
can be credited toward the ASE certification work experience requirement.

Carpentry Apprenticeship (7674)
Programs of Study
"Earn while you learn" is the philosophy of the Carpentry Apprenticeship Program.
The construction industry needs carpenters. Because it does, you have worlds of
opportunity when you become a carpenter. The carpenter works in virtually all
types of construction projects. You can expect to earn a good salary as you work
your way up to a successful career.
Apprenticeships provide the individual who is working in the field an opportunity
to learn the technical aspects of a trade in the classroom while applying this knowl-
edge on the job. The combination of these two aspects prepares the apprentice to
advance through the trade at an accelerated rate. Apprentices earn a guaranteed
wage throughout the training with incremental steps at various stages in the pro-
gram.
Students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. Classroom
activities in conjunction with on-the-job training prepare the students to work at
the journey level. Students not currently employed in the field will be assisted in
seeking employment with sponsoring contractors. The program is sponsored by the
Greater Gainesville Area Association for Technical Training (GGAATT).

Pulmonary Functions Testing
Programs of Study
The technologist working in the pulmonary functions testing laboratory uses com-
puter supported equipment in performing diagnostic tests to detect the presence
and severity of pulmonary diseases. Tests performed include spirometry, lung vol-
ume testing, diffusion studies, arterial blood gas analysis, bronchoscopy, polysom-
nography (sleep studies), and exercise metabolic studies.
Cardiac Ultrasound
In the non-invasive cardiology laboratory, the technologist uses ultrasound technol-
ogy to produce an image of the heart. The cardiac ultrasound study or echocardio-
gram can help identify normal heart structure and function and cardiac abnormali-
ties such as valvular problems, flow irregularities, and decreased cardiac function.
Associated tests include electrocardiography (ECG), Holter monitoring and assisting
the physician with exercise stress testing, stress echocardiography, and transesopha-
geal echocardiography (TEE).
Peripheral Vascular Studies
The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultrasound imaging, Doppler,
spectral analysis and a variety of physiologic testing procedures to image and
evaluate blood flow in the veins and arteries throughout the body. These diagnostic
modalities are particularly useful in evaluating patients who are at risk for strokes
and peripheral vascular diseases. Recent advancements in vascular ultrasound
include transcranial Doppler, dialysis access site evaluation, renal ultrasound, and
abdominal vascular ultrasound.

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

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

The Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a key member of the surgical team who
anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes instruments, sutures, and sponges
during surgery in an efficient manner. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST
may be involved in holding retractors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the
operative site, or cutting suture material. The surgical technologist must perform
under pressure in stressful and emergency situations, have a strong sense of respon-
sibility, considerable patience, manual dexterity and physical stamina. CSTs ensure
that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment functions properly, and
that the operative procedure is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize
patient safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST may act in
the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound, suturing
and other technical functions.
174 174
Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical
Programs of Study
team, other job opportunities include work in delivery rooms, emergency depart-
ments, and ambulatory care centers. Employment opportunities exist in medical
sales and management roles in surgical services. In addition, CSTs are employed
directly by surgeons as "private scrubs" and/or surgical first assistants. They are uti-
lized in clinics, physicians' offices, and in home health care. Combining a broad edu-
cational background with a specialized focus, CSTs may work in cardiac catheteriza-
tion laboratories, delivery rooms, medical sales, product development, management
roles in surgical services and research. Laser technology, biomedical engineering,
technical writing, photography, illustration, and medical-legal auditing are other
areas in which their education has valuable application. They have served in the
Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number are instructors and
directors of surgical technology programs.
The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Committee on
Surgical Technology Education and graduates are qualified to take the Certification
Examination in Surgical Technology. Achieving the CST credential is crucial for pro-
fessional recognition and advancement.

The Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit program that is a minimum
of 1100 clock hours in length and takes three full semesters to complete. Current
Florida certification as an Emergency Medical Technician is required prior to apply-
ing 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 healthcare 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 abil-
ity 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
Santa Fe Community College
Program to have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build. Santa Fe
Community College’s Paramedic Program is fully accredited by the Joint Review
Committee for the Accreditation of EMT-Paramedic Programs.
Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students
may take the State of Florida Paramedic Certification or the National Registry
Examination. Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification,
**Anatomy and Physiology course (as either BSC2084/L OR BSC2085/L and 2086/
L), Medical Terminology (HSC2531) and American Heart Association Healthcare
Provider CPR, or its equivalent.
** Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semes-
ter Anatomy/Physiology sequence (BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).
