President’s Message

Welcome to Santa Fe College.

There are the old and the new. Then there are both.

The name is now Santa Fe College. The new name went into effect when a state
law dropped the word “community” and our institution became Santa Fe College.

The change occurred because Santa Fe will offer its own bachelor’s degrees. SFC’s
two initial degrees are Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Science
and Health Services Administration.

Although new, the degrees spring from the philosophy that has always underlined
every program at Santa Fe: this college exists to offer opportunities to all students
and in doing so enable our state to prosper.

New degrees have not changed Santa Fe’s old traditions. Santa Fe still is an open
admissions college. The college still offers support services to assist students from
every background, Academic Foundations to prepare students for college level
work, and is governed by a local independent board of trustees that understands
our community.

Again, I welcome you to a Santa Fe College that offers new opportunities and
remains committed to our heritage of access, service and an abiding belief in every
student.

Jackson N. Sasser
President, Santa Fe College

District Board of Trustees

College Philosophy and Mission

Statement of Philosophy
The philosophy of Santa Fe College is student-centered. Consistent with this philoso-
phy, we value cultural diversity 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. Therefore, we seek to enable changes in
individuals that allow them to live richer, more rewarding, and more useful lives.
We further believe that educated people should be guided in their behavior by decency
and civility; accordingly, we prize honesty, integrity, and social responsibility among
both our staff and students. The college aspires to transmit 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.

Statement of Vision, Values and Mission

Mission/Vision

12
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 Educa-
tion were responding to a request from the Alachua and
Bradford county Boards of Public Instruction, which had
canvassed the area to find that the community would be
well served if all citizens had more opportunities 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, eco-
nomic development 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. The Perry
Center for Emerging Technologies in the Alachua area is
planned for opening in 2009.
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 addi-
tion of the Lillian Stump Center. The Blount Center opened
in 1990 in the renovated 6th Street railroad depot, expand-
ed in 1993 with the addition of the renovated Gainesville
Gas Co. Building, and again in 2006 with the new Blount
Classroom Building. The Davis Center opened in 2004.
The Watson Center opened in 2005 with a second building
added in 2006. The Perry Center in Alachua is scheduled
for opening in 2009. All the centers were built with funds
raised in community drives headed by the SFC Foundation
and operate to bring educational opportunity to residents
in the college’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. More
than 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 community and a helpful learn-
ing environment that enables students to do their best.
Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe
became a state college in 2008 when it was authorized by
Florida’s Governor and Legislature to offer baccalaureate
degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the
economy. Bachelor of Applied Science programs in Clinical
Laboratory Science and Health Services Administration
are scheduled for opening at SFC in fall 2009.
College Information
The college’s educational offerings still are primarily the
Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Ap-
plied Science, and Community Education programs. The
Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal arts
courses. Many students in this program intend to trans-
fer 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.
Career and Technical Education consists generally of A.S.,
A.A.S. and certificate programs that prepare students for
entry into a career, although some programs are transfer-
able to universities. Surveys show that more than 90 per-
cent of students in these programs either enter a career or
proceed to further higher education. Community Educa-
tion offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth.
In all its programs, the college offers classes to suit the
schedules of students. In addition 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, a Brain Bowl,
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 educates students in the Emergency Medical
Services, Fire Sciences and Aviation Sciences programs.
The college is dedicated to economic development. The
Center for Innovation and Economic Development, located
in a newly refurbished building at University Avenue and
NW 6th Street, custom designs short, long and “eLearning”
online courses for professionals, businesses, industries
and governments, and offers incubator services that en-
able new businesses to establish themselves.
Students seeking bachelor’s degrees from institutions
other than SFC can take classes at several colleges and
universities through the SFC University Center without
leaving Gainesville.
The student-centered learning environment at SFC is
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

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

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
renovated by private donations made to the Endowment
Corporation. The $700,000 renovation project provided the
college and the community with a performing arts audito-
rium/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 facility that includes four major
college classrooms plus faculty and staff office space. The
Stump Education Center, a $400,000 project of the Endow-
ment 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. In
October of 2007 the new Bradford County Public Library
opened adjacent to the Lillian Stump Education Center.
Through financial support from the college, the library
contains a 17 station computer lab for use by Andrews
Center classes and other community groups and organiza-
tions. The college also provided three computers that are
in a dedicated area for access by dual enrollment students.
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
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
16 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
classes, along with the regular day classes, make it easier
for individuals to fit college 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 Center for Innovation and Economic Development
(CIED) opened in the spring of 2007. CIED hosts the col-
lege’s Center for Business and the Entrepreneur Incubator,
and offers rental space for meetings, workshops, and semi-
nars. The SFC Center for Business provides short-term,
non-credit “training for excellence” for people or compa-
nies desiring improvement of skills.
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 have to journey 21 plus miles
to the Northwest Gainesville campus. The center will pro-
mote advancement and enhancement of higher education
and potential vocational training programs locally.
The more than 10,000 square foot facility includes six
general classrooms, a computer lab, ITV classroom, a 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.
Perry Center
The Charles R. and Nancy V. Perry Emerging Technology
Center, located in the City of Alachua, is scheduled to open
for classes in fall 2009. This facility began in 2005 with a
substantial contribution from Charles and Nancy Perry to-
taling more than $1.36 million. The community embraced
the idea and raised an additional $2 million to help with
the construction.
The new 17,367 square foot facility includes two class-
rooms; computer, biology and biotech labs; director’s
office and five faculty offices; plus conference room, clean
lab, prep room and storage area. The center will promote
the advancement of higher education in life sciences and
health education as home of the college’s Associate of Sci-
ence in Biotechnology program and the new Bachelor of
Applied Science degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
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.
Kirkpatrick Center
Institute of Public Safety
The Institute of Public Safety at the Kirkpatrick Center is
located at 3737 NE 39th Avenue, approximately 11 miles
east of the Santa Fe College Northwest Campus. It is home
to the Institute of Public Safety and the Criminal Justice
Selection Center, which is housed on 60 acres on the East
side of Gainesville across from the Gainesville Regional
Airport.
The Institute of Public Safety at the Kirkpatrick Center is a
full-service training center, complete with a firearms and
driving range, providing basic, advanced and specialized
instruction in corrections, emergency medical services,
fire science and law enforcement. Successful completion
of these programs will typically lead to basic certification,
except for fire science, and is designed for those students
seeking immediate employment. Additionally, the college
offers Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Sci-
ence Degrees in Criminal Justice Technology, Emergency
Medical Services and Fire Science.
College Information
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
Career and Technical Education 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
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 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- 17

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.mysfcol-
lege.com.
In 2008 SFC was selected as one of 15 colleges nationwide
to participate in the Plus 50 three-year initiative, which
will develop and benchmark models for innovative pro-
grams reaching out to students over age 50. The project is
funded with a $3.2 million grant from the Atlantic Philan-
thropies and is led by the American Association of Com-
munity Colleges (AACC).
The grant provides SFC $40,000 over three years toward
curriculum development, staff, and marketing. The grant
is being administered through the Community Education Corporate Workforce Education and Training
program and the PrimeTime Institute. Corporate (contract) workforce training is the provision
of courses to meet the needs of a particular business or
Center for Innovation and industry. Training is done at an SFC campus or at the busi-
ness to meet specific requirements in a variety of subject

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Bookstore

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
18 available on request. Visit online at www.sfcollege.edu/cfb.

Step 3. Placement Testing
Take the CPT (given on a walk-in basis in G-25) or
provide proof of exemption. Visit the Assessment
Center Web site at www.sfcollege.edu for more in-
formation.
Note: ALL first time-in-college/freshman A.A.-degree
seeking students beginning in fall 2009 who are
exempted from taking the CPT based on their ACT or
SAT scores will be required to take the College Level
Math (CLM) portion of the CPT.
Step 4. Orientation
Appointments for orientation are scheduled through
students’ eSantaFe accounts after all paperwork
for admission has been submitted and processed.
Students who attend on-campus orientation will
meet with an advisor and register for classes during
orientation. New students are strongly encouraged
to come on campus for orientation but may com-
plete this program online if necessary. Students may
meet with an advisor only after they have success-
fully completed their online orientation.
Step 5. See Advisor/Register/Pay for Classes
Register for classes online through eSantaFe. Pay-
ments or fee waivers must be processed by the fee
deadline or classes will be dropped. See the aca-
demic calendar on page 7 for dates when fees are
due.
Step 6. Get Student ID Card
Students may pick up their ID cards in S-147 by pre-
senting a picture ID and their fee paid slip.
Transient Students
Students attending other postsecondary institutions who
want 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 before submitting the transient form or let-
ter. Transcripts are not accepted in lieu of transient forms
and paper forms are not accepted for institutions with an
online form. Completion of the application and transient
form does not guarantee a seat in any particular class.
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-
ment of Education Statewide Course Numbering System
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.
Assessment and Placement
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, provided the
scores are less than two years old.
ALL first-time-in-college (freshman) A.A.-degree seeking
students beginning in fall 2009 who are exempted from
taking the CPT based on their ACT or SAT scores will be
required to take the College Level Math (CLM) portion of
the CPT to determine proper mathematics placement.
Potential students are encouraged to apply to the college
and take the CPT as early as possible.
Students who score below the designated state cut-scores
are required to develop college level skills and are encour-
aged to do so before they enroll in college level courses.
Both public and private providers are available. Students
can also take college remediation courses while they at-
tend Santa Fe.
Students whose native language is not English may have
additional testing requirements.
The Santa Fe Assessment Center will administer the CPT
on a walk-in basis, Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and
Friday 8 a.m.-2 p.m. in Building G, room 25. A picture ID is
required (driver’s license, military ID, passport). Exempted
from this testing requirement are the following:
A. All students who have earned an Associate of Arts
degree or higher from an accredited institution in
the United States
B. All students intending to enroll in vocational
Admissions
courses only, special programs and seminars, or
any of the unrestricted courses and programs in any
term’s registration schedule
C. All transfer or readmission students who have satis-
factorily completed College Composition (ENC 1101)
or equivalent and Intermediate Algebra (MAT1033)
or College Algebra (MAC1105) or equivalent with a C
or better.
The placement testing requirement is intended to provide
the college with an indication of the student’s achievement
of college level communication and computation compe-
tencies. Students whose placement test scores are below
college level will enroll in college preparatory courses.
These courses will earn credits, but will not be counted
toward meeting the required or elective credits necessary
for the Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science or
Associate of Arts degree.

for entrance to a particular major. At least 60 credit hours
in courses designated with a P (Parallel) must be success-
fully completed in order to graduate with an A.A. degree.
Associate of Science (A.S.) and Associate of Applied Sci-
ence (A.A.S.) degree programs designed for entry into
employment after completion of the two-year degree. They
include 15-18 credit hours of general education courses
and approximately 42 credit hours specific to the degree
that is being earned.

cupational needs of the community by preparing students
for employment. These programs of instruction are less
than 60 credit hours of college level courses.
New! Fall 2009

Advisement Center
Associate of Arts Degree Advisement
Santa Fe College is committed to quality academic advis-
ing for all students. Our mission is to help students reach
their educational goals from matriculation to graduation.
The A.A. Advisement Center acts as an information and
referral center with timely and accurate information for
students regarding admissions advisement and A.A. degree
graduation requirements. Advisors help A.A. students plan
their program of study for transfer to a four-year university.
All new students (first-time-in-college and transfer) must
attend orientation, either on campus or online, prior to
meeting with an academic advisor. All current and return-
ing students are required to view their degree audit via
24
eSantaFe or meet with an advisor for proper course selec-
tion prior to registration.
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.
Students may make an appointment or be seen on a walk-
in basis. Advisors are also available at the Blount, Andrews,
Watson and Davis Centers.
If you plan to transfer to one of Florida’s state universities,
the Associate of Arts degree (A.A. degree) is the transfer-
able degree. The A.A. degree contains the general educa-
tion portion (lower division) of the baccalaureate degree
(B.A. degree).
To help us advise you properly, please make sure you have
indicated which university you want to transfer to and
what major you would like to study. It is extremely help-
ful to have your academic program fully planned no later
than the beginning of the second term. All A.A. students
must indicate a major or program code by the time they
have completed 24 college level hours (effective summer
registration 2005).
Students who have not indicated a major upon comple-
tion of 24 hours will be blocked from registration. Students
who are still undecided about their major, students who do
not plan to transfer to a university, or students who do not
see their major listed must select one of the three general
interest categories under program codes 1100 (Social &
Behavioral Sciences), 1105 (Science & Engineering), or 1110
(Humanities & Letters).
A.A. students can select their major online via eSantaFe
by selecting Change Major on the menu. Choosing a major
does not commit you to that selection; you can change
your major at any time. The A.A. Advisement Center can
give you specific information about the university and
major of your choice.
If you have questions about a major, please meet with an
advisor in R-201. If you are undecided, please contact a ca-
reer counselor in the Counseling Center, S-255 or visit the
career counselor in the A.A. Advisement Center, R-210.

Career and Technical Education Advisement
Students interested in any of the Career and Technical
Education 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

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

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

Student Responsibilities
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.sfcollege.edu for the following information:
• general education requirements
• pre-professional courses (courses required by your
university major)

for entering freshmen and college transcripts for students
transferring from other colleges or universities. Transfer
students must submit final, official transcripts from all
institutions they have attended. Transfer students with
less than 60 college credit hours from previous institutions
must also provide high school transcripts.

class.

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 articulation
agreements specify eligibility for program options. Tuition
is free and textbooks are loaned free of charge to students
affiliated with a public school. Private and home schooled
students (not affiliated with a public school) must pur-
chase their own college textbooks. The free and reduced
lunch program is available to those students affiliated with
an Alachua County public school.
1. Technology and Applied Science Dual Enrollment
(Career and Technical Programs) Selected eleventh
and twelfth grade students who qualify through the
CPT, SAT or ACT, their GPA and other criteria, enroll
in Career and Technical Programs on campus. Once
accepted, students register for the full-time program
enrolling in college technology, high school and/or
college academic course work to fulfill high school
graduation requirements. There are over 30 career
related areas from which students may choose a major.
(Technical programs not offered at the Bradford Voca-
tional Technical Center are available to Bradford High
School juniors and seniors.)
School of Construction Eleventh and twelfth grade
Alachua County students may enroll in the School of
Construction. This program provides an early entry
opportunity for high school students to study one of
the professional construction trades. The School of
Construction offers courses in 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
for the School of Construction:
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 after-
noon for construction classes. 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, their
GPA and other criteria, are eligible to become full-time
College Academic Dual Enrollment students. These
students take all college academic courses that lead
toward an Associate of Arts degree. College courses
also meet high school graduation requirements. All
Associate of Arts degree course work 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 Pro-
gram. All students must qualify through the CPT, SAT
or ACT, their GPA and other criteria. Once accepted,
students register for college Fine Arts, high school
and/or college academic course work to fulfill high
school graduation requirements. College Fine Arts
courses also apply toward an Associate of Arts degree.
Admissions
College placement scores determine eligibility for
college level work. Fine Arts students select a major
and enroll in courses in the areas of studio art, music,
dance or theatre.
4. Part-time Academic Dual Enrollment Academically
eligible seniors may take college level courses and
apply the credit toward high school 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 courses. 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 at the Northwest Campus will be
accepted beginning in January. Notification of acceptance
begins the end of May. The program fills quickly, so stu-
dents should submit an application and college placement
test results as early as possible.
Family and Student
Educational Rights (FERPA)
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.
27
 www.sfcollege.edu
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
28 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
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 tu-
ition 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 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
 Admissions
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.
• 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 ascer-
taining domiciliary intent.

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.

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.
General Specifications
• Computer with DVD drive
• Internet access
• E-mail
• Web browser—Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2
• Word processor and spreadsheet software (Micro-
soft Office, OpenOffice)
• Contact your program area for discipline-specific
software and software requirements
Recommended Specifications
Personal Computer IntelR CoreTG2 Duo Processor; 2 GB
memory; 160 GB hard drive; 16x DVD RW drive; broad-
band; 19” flat panel monitor; inkjet or laser printer; MS
Windows XP or Vista; virus scanning software.

Minimum Specifications
Open Campus courses, as well as any course using an on-
line component, are delivered by the Angel LMS (Learning
Management System). The Angel LMS supports specific
browsers, namely Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. This
is true for Windows and Mac OS X. Some courses may
require specific software such as Microsoft Office and so
forth. Your computer should be fast enough that you do
not feel hampered by its speed or capabilities. Almost any
computer purchased new in the past five years is capable
of running one of the supported browsers. Support for spe-
cific extra software such as Microsoft Office may require
a specific operating system that will have its own require-
ments. In general, your instructor must be able to open and
view any documents and so forth that you create as part of
your course work. SFC faculty and staff use Microsoft Of-
fice, which is also installed in labs.
Financial Aid
Many students who need financial assistance are able to
obtain help through scholarships, loans, grants and part-
time work. Financial aid programs at SFC include but are
not limited to Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitive-
ness 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.
SFC’s Board of Trustees offers scholarships to outstand-
ing students in the following areas: Athletics, the College
Achievement Program, Academics (Honors and Need
Based), Creative Arts, Public Service, Student Ambassa-
dor, Student Government, and Technology and Applied
Sciences.. Inquiries should be directed to Financial Aid,
Scholarship Office, Building R, in the student services
complex or by calling (352) 395-5470. In addition, there are
privately funded scholarships offered to SFC students by
Santa Fe’s Endowment Corporation. Information may be
obtained from the Office for Development.
Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid by
March 15 for the following academic year starting with the
fall term. Detailed information concerning financial aid is
available in the Financial Aid Handbook. You may obtain
this information by visiting the Financial Aid Web site at
www.sfcollege.edu or writing to the Financial Aid Office,
Building R, room 122, 3000 NW 83rd Street, Gainesville,
Florida, 32606, or by calling (352) 395-5480.
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.

Official Withdrawal
A student may officially withdraw from one course or from
the college prior to the late withdrawal deadline. For this
and other official college dates, check the calendar online
at www.sfcollege.edu.
The withdrawal procedure is initiated by the student in
the Office of Records and may affect the student’s athletic
eligibility, financial aid or veterans benefits, as well as
benefits received from other federal agencies. Students are
required to obtain signatures from various departments
in order to withdraw, and it is the responsibility of the stu-
dent to deliver a completed withdrawal form to the Office
of Records, Building R, room 101.
Students will not be permitted to routinely withdraw from
college preparatory courses (ENC 0020; REA 0010; MAT
0002; MAT 0024). Special permission for withdrawal must
be obtained from the College Prep advisor or chairperson.
The withdrawal procedure does not guarantee any refund
of money, nor is it related in any way to the refund policy
(see Refund and Adjustment of Fees).
Any student seeking an exception to the withdrawal policy
must request a late withdrawal through the Office of Re-
cords, Building R, room 101. Refunds past published dead-
lines 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 poli-
cy, please visit the Financial Aid Web site at www.sfcollege.
edu or call a financial aid specialist at (352) 395-5480.
Last Day to Drop With Refund
A student who withdraws from the college for one or more
courses during the first five instructional days of fall,
spring and summer terms, or during the first three instruc-
tional days of flexterm, may receive a full refund of fees
paid for the course work officially discontinued. Courses
officially dropped will be removed from the student’s re-
cord. The official deadline date for fee refunds will be pub-
lished in the college academic calendar, online at www.
sfcollege.edu, and in the enrollment guide. These refunds
are automatically processed without further action by the
student. Refund checks will be processed and distributed
as soon as possible; a fair expectation for their receipt
would be approximately three weeks after the deadline.
College Expenses
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.sfcollege.edu. While refund
checks will be processed and distributed as soon as pos-
sible, a fair expectation for their receipt would be approxi-
mately two weeks after the deadline.
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 payments (e.g. Short Term Loan, Per-
kins, Title IV Repayments, Accounts Receivable);
• unpaid matriculation, tuition, laboratory or other
fees associated with registration;
• unpaid fines or penalties duly assessed by appropri-
ate college authorities;
• checks or epayments drawn to the order of the col-
lege that have been returned because of insufficient
funds or any other reason.
Any student who has paid for course registration fees with
a check or epayment that is dishonored for any reason
must make immediate restitution to the college. After
determination by the Office for Finance that timely restitu-
tion 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.
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.
Lab Fees

A student who withdraws from the college for one or
more courses during the first five instructional days of
fall, spring or summer full terms, or during the first three
instructional days of A or B sessions, may receive a full
refund of fees paid for the course work officially discontin-
ued. The official deadlines for fee refunds are on the last
official day of drop/add. These refunds are automatically
processed without action by students. Refund checks will
be processed and distributed as soon as possible; a fair
expectation for their receipt would be about two to four
weeks after the deadline.
Third Attempt Limit
Starting fall term 1997, Florida law requires that any col-
lege credit course that has been repeated and taken the
third time should be regarded as the final attempt.
• Work attempted at all Florida public postsecondary
institutions is not counted. Courses taken at private
institutions or out-of-state institutions are not
counted.
• Courses attempted prior to fall term 1997 are not
counted.
• Attempts include the original grade, repeat grades,
and withdrawals at any point in the semester.
• All grades from the third and subsequent attempts
are part of the GPA.
• A fourth attempt may be allowed only through aca-
demic appeals based on major extenuating circum-
stances.
• Students enrolled prior to fall term 1997 may come
under the old catalog.
Cost of Repeat Courses
(fees subject to change)
Starting fall term 1997, a student enrolled in the same col-
lege credit course more than two times shall pay the full
cost of instruction.
The full cost of instruction is currently $282.05 per credit
hour (the same as non-resident fees), subject to change by
the Florida Legislature.
Repeating Classes With a
Grade of C or Above
Repeat enrollment in courses in which a grade of C or
above has been earned is prohibited.
• Repeating such a course is considered only under
special circumstances. Examples are a need for
teacher recertification, specifications of a regulatory
agency, licensure and program requirements.
• The initial grade and subsequent grade appear on
the transcript. Only the first grade is included in the
GPA with credit earned. The second attempt will not
earn credit, will not be included in the GPA, and the
Grade Forgiveness Rule will not apply.
• Registrations for such a course without approval
will be canceled, the course dropped and fees re-
funded.

Official College Notifications
Santa Fe College (SFC) uses eSantaFe to send official
notifications to students including, but not limited to,
notifications regarding financial aid, student records, ad-
missions, registration, and academic status. Students are
responsible for accessing their student records and student
notifications via eSantaFe. All SFC students are expected
to access their eSantaFe account from SFC’s home page for
important information regarding their student records. An
e-mail reminder is sent to students informing them of any
notifications; however, it is strongly advised that students
regularly and frequently check their eSantaFe account and
keep their e-mail address up to date in Santa Fe’s student
records system. Failure to do so may cause students to miss
critical information that may affect a student’s status.
Petitions Committee
The college Petitions Committee reviews student peti-
tions to adjust records and makes recommendations to the
college registrar for approval or denial. The committee is
composed of SFC faculty and staff. Students may petition
through the committee to drop a course with a full refund
or to withdraw from a course after the published with-
drawal date.
Petitions to Drop With a
Refund or for Late Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from one or more classes after the
last date to drop and receive a refund who wish to have the
course removed from their record and to receive a refund,
or who wish to withdraw from a course after the published
withdrawal date for reasons of extreme hardship that can
be documented, may consult the Office of Records (Build-
38 ing R, room 101) about petitioning for removal of the course
record and refund of fees or a late withdrawal. College Rule
7.16 establishes, pursuant to Florida State Rule 6A-14.54,
conditions under which fees may be refunded to students.
The college rule states: Fees may also be refunded when a
student drops a course due to any of the following emer-
gency circumstances beyond the control of the student:
A. Illness of a student of such severity or duration, as
confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude
completion of the course(s).
B. Death of the student or death in the immediate fam-
ily (parent, spouse, child, or sibling).
C. Involuntary call to active military duty.
D. A situation where the college is in error.
E. A change of a course or section(s) initiated by the
college because of a cancellation, time, and/or loca-
tion.
F. Other emergency circumstances that may be
approved by the college president or his/her
designee(s).
Petition forms are available in the Office of Records, Build-
ing R, room 101, or on the Petitions Web site. The student
is expected to present a clear and convincing written
rationale along with supporting documentation for the
petition. Written support from physicians, instructors and
others may be necessary. Each petition is considered on an
individual basis. Please visit the Petitions Web site at www.
sfcollege.edu for additional procedural information and to
print the appropriate forms.
The SFC Petitions Committee meets weekly to review stu-
dent petitions. Students submitting petitions are welcome
to appear before the committee at the time their petitions
are heard. Notification of the committee’s decision is made
via the college’s official notification system, which may be
accessed through eSantaFe.
Petitions for Graduation Waivers
or Course Substitutions
The committee that considers petitions for graduation
waivers or course substitutions consists of advisors from
the Office of Academic Advisement. Students may petition
to substitute a course(s) within discipline areas toward
completion of their degree. Please refer to the Petitions
Web site for additional information regarding procedures
and to obtain the appropriate form(s).
Student Conduct Code
Students enrolled at Santa Fe College are expected to con-
duct themselves in a manner that will reflect favorably on
the college, the community and themselves. Each student
is advised to become familiar with the Student Conduct
Code and to abide by it. The Student Conduct Code can be
found at www.sfcollege.edu. A copy of the Student Conduct
Code may be obtained from the vice president for Student
Affairs office in Building R, room 211. If found guilty of vio-
lating the Student Conduct Code, a student may be subject
to one or more penalties as described in the Student Con-
duct Code, in accordance with procedures adopted by the
college’s president for handling student disciplinary cases.

Student Government (SG)
Student government is the representative body for stu-

the college administration through active participation
in institutional decision making. SG is comprised of three
branches: an executive board, a student senate, and stu-
dent government programming.
The executive board, elected each spring by the student
body, is charged with the overall administration of SG.
The four executive officers work with an executive cabinet
to ensure a student presence on various committees to
student organizations, academic senators representing
specific majors, and at-large members representing the
general student populace. As the legislative body for SG,
the senate votes on resolutions, allocates funding, and ap-
proves the charters for new student organizations. Senate
meetings, held each Wednesday at 4 p.m. in S-29/30, are
open to everyone.
Student government programming (SGP) puts on large-
scale programs open to all students. A sampling of this
year’s programs includes: Hispanic Heritage Month food
tasting, movie nights, Fall Fest, Black History Month block
party, spring concert series, Casino Night, Art on the
Grove, and trips to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal
Studios. The SGP leadership team is always looking for
additional members to help plan and implement these fun
programs. SGP meets every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in S-141.

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
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. Contact james.schwartz@sfcol-
lege.edu for additional 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
benefits under any United States Veterans Affairs program
are urged to contact the SFC 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 College Veterans Affairs office. The college’s Veterans
Affairs office will certify the student veteran for education-
al benefits based on receipt of the student’s registration
for class attendance each semester. The student veteran
or other eligible person must provide a registration slip
and degree audit to the SFC Veterans Affairs office each
semester the student desires to be certified for educational
benefits. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs
determines eligibility for educational benefits based on
documents provided by the 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. 43
 www.sfcollege.edu

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.
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 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 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 Veter-
ans Affairs regarding veterans and other eligible persons’
attendance, progress and certification, the following pro-
cedures 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 partici-
pant enrolled in a vocational certificate program
who accumulates five (5) or more unexcused ab-
sences during any calendar month will be inter-
rupted 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
44 will count as one absence.
II. Academic Progress The program participant’s rate
of progress toward his or her educational goal is as
follows:
The program participant may be certified to repeat
a course in which an unsatisfactory grade has been
received. USVA educational benefits will be termi-
nated 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 encour-
aged to seek academic advisement, attend tutorial
labs or seek assistance from the college’s Veterans
Affairs office to avoid academic suspension of USVA
educational benefits.
Reporting of Academic Progress
The USVA prohibits payment of 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 ad-
justments is retroactive to the first day of the term in which
they are recorded, unless mitigating circumstances are
submitted and accepted by the USVA.
All incomplete (I) grades must be completed in accordance
with the department chairs. A student may not register for
a course to make up an incomplete grade. The program
participant must complete the course requirements within
one semester, changing the incomplete to a letter grade.
 Student Affairs
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 preclud-
ing 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 finan-
cial aid and all eligible military veterans are encouraged to
apply for the financial aid to enhance their GI Bill-earned
educational benefits.
All program-eligible participants have tutorial assistance
and work study available, provided by the USVA, and
are encouraged to learn more about these programs by
contacting the college’s Veterans Affairs office at (352) 395-
5505. Students are also encouraged to notify the college’s
VA office when there are any problems with educational
benefits.
Program participants are encouraged to monitor their
educational benefits by contacting the Atlanta Regional of-
fice of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs at
(888) 442-4551, (888) GI BILL1 or go online to use the WAVE
verification program each month. Student veterans should
also review annual changes to the GI BILL educational
programs at VA.GOV.

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

college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to
the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. The
student may then petition the college for possible read-
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 a semester GPA of 2.5 or above, will not be suspended
even though they may have an overall deficit of more than
20 grade points. Should this promising level of perfor-
mance continue, a status of good academic standing may
be restored. 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 cred-
its toward a degree from this institution by taking courses
at another institution. In each case, it is the student’s
responsibility 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
if that student’s overall deficit is more than 20 grade points.
Should the student continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher
each term, the student will remain enrolled on academic
probation until good academic standing is achieved.
Transferring to Santa Fe
With Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe’s 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-
Academic Affairs
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
of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full fees
must be requested before the end of drop/add for the term
or session in which the course is attempted for the third
time. No waivers are granted retroactively.
Transient Status
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
the skills necessary to collect, verify, document, and
organize information from a variety of sources.
• Interpersonal: The student will develop effective
leadership, teamwork, relationship management,
conflict resolution, and workplace skills. 49
 www.sfcollege.edu
• 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
CLAST retakes.
The Learning Labs are located at:
ESL (EAP) Lab I-001
Mathematics Lab G-014
Reading Lab G-036
50 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 working 10-
14 hours per week will receive one semester hour of credit.
The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive two
semester hours of credit. The student working 20-35 hours
per week will receive three semester hours of credit. A total
of up to nine hours per year may be earned. Supervisors
at the students’ work sites evaluate students’ performance
during their cooperative education experience. The coop-
erative 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
Academic Affairs
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.
Degree Programs
Santa Fe College grants four degrees: Associate of Arts
(A.A.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate
of Science (A.S.). Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) de-
gree programs in Clinical Laboratory Science and Health
Services Administration begin fall 2009.
Associate of Arts Degree
The Associate of Arts degree is awarded to those students
who successfully complete a program of study that is
primarily designed to prepare them for transfer to a senior
institution. Students wishing to transfer should obtain
additional academic advisement from the upper division
school to which they expect to apply.
Note: Beginning fall 2009 all incoming A.A. degree seek-
ing students will be required to begin progress in meet-
ing their mathematics requirement for graduation. This
means that students must register for a math course their
first semester and continue to do so each subsequent se-
mester until they have satisfied the mathematics require-
ment for their respective degrees.
Associate of Applied Science Degree
The Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to
students who successfully complete one of the Business,
Health Sciences, Construction and Technical, Public Safe-
ty, or Information Technology Education programs. These
areas of study are primarily designed to prepare students
for immediate employment.
Associate of Science Degree
The Associate of Science degree is awarded to students
who complete programs of instruction consisting of col-
lege level courses to prepare for entry into employment
and including 15-18 hours of general education courses
transferable to the State University System. Some senior
institutions have established programs to build on the
Associate of Science degree. Students wishing to transfer
to such programs should check with the upper division
school to which they expect to apply.
Bachelor of Applied Science
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is the designated
degree for flexible baccalaureate programs that are
designed to accommodate the unique demands for entry
and advancement within specific workforce sectors. BAS
programs provide degree completion opportunities for
students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but
primarily those with Associate of Science degrees or the
equivalent. BAS degree programs conform to all articula-
tion conventions (including common course prerequisites,
common course numbering, and faculty credentialing in
accordance with the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools). BAS degree programs typically include capstone
experiences that provide opportunities for students to
demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills,
and competencies. 51

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.

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 freshman composition skills course is
offered by 55 different postsecondary institutions. Each
institution uses “ENC_101” to identify its freshman com-
position skills 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,
“ENC” means “English Composition,” the century digit “1”
represents “Freshman Composition,” the decade digit “0”
represents “Freshman Composition Skills,” and the unit
digit “1” represents “Freshman Composition Skills I.”
In the sciences and certain other areas, a “C” or “L” after
the course number is known as a lab indicator. The “C”
represents a combined lecture and laboratory course that
meets in the same place at the same time. The “L” repre-
sents 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
participating 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, ENC 1101 is offered at a community college. The
same course is offered at a state university as ENC 2101. A
student who has successfully completed ENC 1101 at the
community college is guaranteed to receive transfer credit
for ENC 2101 at the state university if the student transfers.
The student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 again
since ENC 1101 is equivalent to ENC 2101.
Transfer credit must be awarded for successfully complet-
ed equivalent courses and used by the receiving institu-
tion to determine satisfaction of requirements by transfer
students on the same basis as credit awarded to the native
students. It is the prerogative of the receiving institution,
however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully
completed that have not been designated 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.
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
transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully
accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency
recognized by the United States Department of Education
and that participate in the statewide course numbering
Academic Affairs
system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institu-
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
Since the initial implementation of the SCNS, specific dis-
ciplines or types of courses have been excepted from the
guarantee of transfer for equivalent courses. These include
varying topics courses that must be evaluated individually,
or applied courses in which the student must be evaluated
for mastery of skill and technique. 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. For courses at non-regionally accredited institu-
tions, courses offered prior to the established trans-
fer date of the course in question.
C. Courses in the _999-_999 series are not automati-
cally transferable, and must be evaluated individu-
ally. These include such courses as Special Topics,
Internships, Practica, Study Abroad, Thesis and
Dissertations.
D. College preparatory and vocational preparatory
courses.
E. Graduate courses.
F. Internships, practica, clinical experiences and study
abroad courses with numbers other than those
ranging from _999-_999.
G. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance,
Interior Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills
courses in Criminal Justice are not guaranteed as
transferable.

Specialized Group Study
Specialized Group Study credits may satisfy general
education requirements for the Associate of Applied Sci-
ence (A.A.S.) degree in the areas of Communications/Hu-
manities, 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 Associ-
ate of Arts (A.A.) degree and the Associate of Science (A.S.)
degrees, however, Specialized Group Study credits may
not be used to meet the general education requirements,
although they may be used as elective credits.
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 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
Academic Affairs
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
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 (excluding
lab fees, materials or access fees) for residents of Alachua
and Bradford counties who are 60 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 pro-
cessed in cases where the initial registration for the course
was prior to that date. No waivers are available for any con-
tinuing education courses offered through the Center for
Business. 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, San-
ta Fe College will waive tuition and fees (excluding 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 Sec-
tion 1009.265(5), F.S. defines state employees as employees
of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of state
government and specifically excludes university employ-
ees. Also, proviso language in the General Appropriations
Act specifies that state employees must be “full-time” em-
ployees. 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 Adminis-
tration Building or fax it to 352-381-7020.

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. Credit for all ex-
ams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State
of Florida Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed
on the chart found at: http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/.

clep/about.html
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series
of examinations developed by the Educational Testing
Service that allows students to demonstrate competency in
certain subjects and earn college credit for those courses
without attending classes. The required levels of perfor-
mance on the examinations and the specific courses for
which credit may be granted are subject to change accord-
ing to the decisions of a statewide committee.
The CLEP examination may be taken at SFC, the University
of Florida or any center authorized by the College Entrance
Examination Board. The student is responsible for having
all scores submitted to the SFC 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 gradu-
ation are recorded as “credit by examination” with no
grades or quality points given. These credits do not affect a
student’s grade point average.
Academic Affairs
Credit for the general and subject examinations may be
earned in those areas where students have not already
earned academic credit. Credit for the examinations may
be earned as listed in the following table, provided the
student has not already earned credit for the particular
course(s) for which Santa Fe could give examination cred-
it. 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 equivalen-
cies 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
57
courses due to the nature of a particular course’s content.
 www.sfcollege.edu

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-
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.

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 universi-
ties to which they plan to transfer. Students must select a
program major by the time they complete 24 college credit
hours. With the help of their advisors, students should
choose electives that will be most advantageous in the
pursuit of their intended bachelor’s degrees. Each upper
division university annually publishes counseling manu-
als for every major offered at that institution. Each state
university has a designated articulation officer to facilitate
the transfer of community college graduates to the State
University System.

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.

Programs of Study
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 interconnection;
• 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.

(Career and Technical Education)
Director Linda Lanza-Kaduce, R-008, (352) 395-5493
In cooperation with the School Board of Alachua County,
dual enrollment opportunities in the college’s Technol-
ogy and Applied Sciences Programs (Career and Technical
Education) are provided for qualified eleventh and twelfth
grade students. The purpose of this educational program is
to provide high school students an opportunity to acquire
a technical education at Santa Fe College while in high
school. Students can earn both high school and college
credit while attending SFC’s High School Dual Enrollment
Program. Once accepted, students register for college tech-
nology, high school, and/or college academic course work
to fulfill high school graduation requirements. Students
whose college placement test scores and academic history
are competitive with those of college students may enroll
in college level academic courses that count as both high
school and college credit. Students in the High School
Dual Enrollment Program graduate from their home high
schools. Students may participate in extracurricular activi-
ties offered at their home high schools. College tuition
is free to dual enrollment students. Required textbooks
are provided free of charge for public school students
and home school students affiliated with a public school.
Transportation is available through the county school bus
system, and free and reduced cost meals are provided for
eligible students. For further information about this pro-
gram call (352) 395-5490.

Tech Prep Program

The Alachua/Bradford/Santa Fe College Tech Prep Pro-
gram provides career awareness, academics, and technical
preparation. The purpose of the program is to broaden
the educational, career, and economic opportunities of all
students. This approach combines academic learning in
the classroom with hands-on learning at a work site or in a
simulated work setting.
The Tech Prep program also promotes a system of con-
necting activities that link Santa Fe College, the school
districts of Alachua and Bradford counties, Bradford-
Union Area Career and Technical Center, and business
and civic partners. The University of Florida, St. Leo Uni-
versity, and other private colleges and universities are also
partners in Tech Prep education. Students benefit from
Tech Prep educational programs by acquiring knowledge
and skills that prepare them for opportunities to earn ac-
celerated placement through credit by exam in Career and
Technical Education programs. Visit the Web site at www.

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
one-year certificate in Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and
Heating. This program is designed to enable persons to
acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level
employment.

Nuclear Medicine Technology
Nuclear medicine technology (NMT) is a medical specialty
in which low-level radioactive materials (radiopharma-
ceuticals) are used for diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Nuclear medicine technologists work in three major areas:
organ imaging, radionuclide analysis of biological speci-
mens, and radionuclide therapy.
The program is accredited by the Joint Review Commit-
tee on Education in Nuclear Medicine Technology and the
state of Florida Department of Education, and is conducted
in cooperation with Shands at AGH, Shands at UF, North
Florida Regional Medical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical
Center, Munroe Regional Medical Center, Ocala Regional
Medical Center, and several outpatient cardiac practices.
The NMT Program’s mission statement is: To provide a
comprehensive, competency based, accredited nuclear
medicine technology curriculum to prepare a diverse
group of students with entry-level skills needed to perform
quality nuclear medicine procedures while helping to
provide all patients with the best possible care. Thus a goal
of the NMT Program is to develop competent and profes-
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 adapt-
ability 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
22 months of combined academic and clinical education.
Based upon a 40 hour per week schedule, students spend an
average of 40 percent of their time in professional and gen-
eral education courses at the college. The remaining time is
spent in the college laboratory or in hospitals, obtaining a
complete range of supervised clinical experience.
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 national
certification examinations administered by the Ameri-
can Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear
Medicine Technology Certification Board. Persons passing
the national examination(s) qualify for a Certified Nuclear
Medicine Technologist License from the state of Florida
without additional testing.

Sonography
Co-directors: Ms. Reeda Fullington,
Ms. Barbara Konter
Faculty: Ms. L.yn Reed, Ms. S. Rollyson, Ms. T. Ashley
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 imag-
ing 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.

digital media to prepare graduates for entry-level jobs in
this expanding career field.
Students in the Digital Media Technology program choose
between a Graphic Design specialization or an Interac-
tive Media Design specialization. Both specializations are
admitted into the program twice a year. Students also have
the option to take the Interactive Media Design group of
100
courses as a Vocational Certificate degree after completing
the Graphic Design track, for a more thorough preparation
for today’s evolving job market. Admission is competitive.
The Digital Media 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 Digital Media Technol-
ogy. Because the Digital Media Technology department
offers classes only in the fall and the spring terms (no
summer classes) it is recommended that students plan to
take their general education courses during the summer
terms. For this reason it is not a requirement that students
complete their general education requirements before ap-
plying for admission to Digital Media Technology. How-
ever, we strongly recommend that applicants take classes
in the Fine Arts Department before being admitted to
Digital Media. Some of these classes may also cover some
of their general education requirements (please contact
our department for more information about classes we rec-
ommend). Once admitted to Digital Media, 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 in-
dustry standard computer hardware and software.
The students in the Graphic Design Specialization track
learn illustration, computer graphics, desktop publish-
ing, Web page design, electronic imaging, presentation
techniques, photography and design, and magazine and
newspaper advertising layout. Students learn about logos,
brochures, newsletters, packaging, direct mail design,
outdoor advertising, point-of-purchase display, printing
methods, and electronic prepress production techniques.
Students completing this degree will be prepared for
employment in advertising agencies, reproduction firms,
Web-related enterprises and publishing firms as graphic
designers, illustrators and desktop publishers.
The Interactive Media Design track also teaches the basic
skills needed to author, design, organize, and deliver mul-
timedia presentations including all forms of media that
rely on a sequence of imagery and sound. Students will
learn how to create and develop media and applications
from concept to production. Such applications include
DVD authoring, 2-D and 3-D modeling and animation,
computer-based training and audio production. Students
will learn to deliver this media content via DVD, CD-ROM,
broadcast, digital video and the Internet.
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 as well as digital video
and dynamic content for the Internet.

Educator Preparation
Institute
Director: Ed Bonahue
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 realities of today’s class-
room 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.sfcollege.edu/epi.

Bachelor of
Applied Science
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is the designated
degree for flexible baccalaureate programs that are
designed to accommodate the unique demands for entry
and advancement within specific workforce sectors. BAS
programs provide degree completion opportunities for
students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but
primarily those with Associate of Science degrees or the
equivalent. BAS degree programs conform to all articula-
tion conventions (including common course prerequisites,
common course numbering, and faculty credentialing in
accordance with the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools). BAS degree programs typically include capstone
experiences that provide opportunities for students to
demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills,
and competencies.
Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS) –
Bachelor of Applied Science 5200
Program Director: Dr. Kelly Gridley
Program Advisor: Denise Remer
Faculty: Dr. Kelly Gridley
The Clinical Laboratory Science Program at Santa Fe Col-
lege is located in the Department of Laboratory Tech-
nology at the Charles R. and Nancy V. Perry Center for
Emerging Technologies in Alachua, Florida, and offers a
Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Sci-
ence.
Programs of Study
Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS, also referred to as Medi-
cal Technology) applies basic science to medical diagnos-
tics. It is a profession of highly knowledgeable and skilled
individuals who perform clinical laboratory tests on blood,
body fluids, or tissue samples. This is a critical part of
health care, as the results provided by these laboratory
professionals are a vital tool for physicians in their diagno-
sis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Many clinical laboratory scientists (or medical technolo-
gists) work in hospitals, clinics, and medical centers, but
positions are also available in industrial settings, public
health, reference and research laboratories. These indi-
viduals may practice as generalists, typically covering the
areas of serology, microbiology, clinical chemistry, hema-
tology, and immunohematology, or they may specialize in
one scientific area. After experience within the field, there
are opportunities for advancement into management or
teaching positions. Industry also offers opportunity in the
area of sales, public relations, research and development.
There are channels for continued academic specialization
and advanced degrees which in turn bring further employ-
ment opportunities and benefits.
Admission to the BAS in Clinical Laboratory Science pro-
gram requires a 2.5 overall GPA on all college coursework;
the completion of the CLS program course prerequisites
with a minimum grade of C (STA 2023, BSC 2010/L, CHM
2211/L, MCB 2010/L); the completion of an associate’s de-
gree (AA, AS or AAS); the completion of all program course
prerequisites; and the completion of the College Level
Academic Skills Testing exam with passing scores (un-
less otherwise appropriately exempted). Applicants must
complete an SFC application for admission or readmission,
a separate application to the CLS program, and submit a
500 word personal statement essay addressing their profes-
sional and personal goals. It is not necessary to complete
all of the Common Degree Program Prerequisite Require-
ments before admission (these courses are designated with
an asterisk.)
This limited access program is work-intensive and courses
include clinical practice in a variety of settings. Due to
this, it is strongly recommended that students be at least
one-year post high school and complete their foreign
language requirement prior to applying to the program. An
FDLE background check and Board of Clinical Lab Person-
nel trainee license are required to complete clinical intern-
ship courses. Students with concerns or questions should
seek advisement from program advisor Denise Remer at
(352) 395-5839 or program faculty at (352) 381-3750.
Applications, forms and procedures, and contact informa-
tion can be found online at www.sfcollege.edu in the Index
under Clinical Laboratory Science.
Degree Requirements
The courses designated in sections 1, 2, and 3 below may
be transferred from other community colleges, colleges,
and universities, and most of the coursework shown in 1
