Notice of Equal Access/Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination
Santa Fe College is committed to an environment that embraces diversity, respects the rights of all individuals, is open and accessible, and is
free of harassment and discrimination based on, but not limited to, ethnicity, race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, marital status,
national origin, political opinions or affiliations, veteran status, and genetic information. The College does not discriminate in its programs and
activities, including employment and admissions.
In particular, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. § 1681) is an all-encompassing federal law that prohibits
discrimination based on the sex of students, employees, and third parties when appropriate, of educational institutions which receive federal
financial assistance. Sexual harassment of students, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title
IX. Santa Fe College complies with all aspects of this and other federal and state laws regarding non-discrimination.
Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 protects applicants and employees from discrimination based on
genetic information in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment.
GINA also restricts employers' acquisition of genetic information and strictly limits disclosure of genetic information. Genetic information
includes information about genetic tests of applicants, employees, or their family members; the manifestation of diseases or disorders in family
members (family medical history); and requests for or receipt of genetic services by applicants, employees, or their family members.
Anyone with questions about compliance or a complaint regarding harassment or discrimination, including sexual harassment and
sexual violence as a violation of Title IX, should contact the College's Equal Access/Equal Opportunity Coordinator using the following contact
information:
Lela Frye, Equal Access/Equal Opportunity Coordinator

for such complaints.

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.

College History
Santa Fe College was established by the state government in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education.
Since then, SF has established programs and services that enable the college to carry out its mission of educational opportunity,
responsiveness to the community, economic 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, approximately
18,000 students take credit classes and 12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are offered at the Northwest Campus, Andrews
Center in Starke, Blount Center in downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer, Kirkpatrick Center in east Gainesville, Perry Center for
Emerging Technologies in Alachua and Watson Center in Keystone Heights.
The college has expanded education programs by increasing the number of classes offered by electronic means such as the Internet and live
broadcasts to the SF centers. More than 4,000 students take classes through Open Campus, SF’s online center.
Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe College was authorized by the state of Florida in 2009 to offer bachelor’s degrees
that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. At that time the college changed its name to Santa Fe College.
SF 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 in 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.
College Academics
The college’s educational offerings include the Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.),
Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Vocational Certificate (VC) and Continuing and Community Education
programs.
The Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal arts courses. Many students in this program intend to transfer to four-year colleges
or universities. SF sends more students to the University of Florida than does any other institution. Many former SF students go to other fouryear schools, public and private, in and out of state. Since 2009, the college has offered bachelor’s degrees in several new areas of study.
Santa Fe offers Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) degree programs in Clinical Laboratory Science, Industrial Biotechnology, Health
Services Administration, Multimedia and Video Production Technology, and Organizational Management. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
programs provide degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the
Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. Santa Fe College currently offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood
Education and Nursing. Additional degrees will follow in the future, as specific needs are identified.
Career and Technical Education consists generally of A.S., A.A.S. and certificate programs that prepare students for successful entry into a
career, although some programs are transferable to universities. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of students in these programs either
enter a career or proceed to further higher education.
Continuing Education programs assist professionals looking to advance or change their careers with recertification, additional training or
special course work.
Community Education offers non-credit leisure courses for personal growth. More than 9,000 area residents participate in Community
Education courses each year.
Academic life is highlighted by the Honors Program, Phi Theta Kappa, SF-UF Foreign Languages Institute, Research in Undergraduate
Education Festival, a Model UN team, a Brain Bowl, a Math Team and several international Study Abroad programs.
College Centers
Santa Fe College offers a variety of educational options through its seven different sites conveniently located throughout Alachua and Bradford
counties.
Andrews Center
SF’s Andrews Center in Starke provides the citizens of Bradford and nearby counties an opportunity to gain a college education close to
home. Classrooms are housed in the historic Starke courthouse and two additional educational buildings. The center provides a dual
enrollment program for Bradford County High School students to earn college credit while still in high school, allowing them to jump-start
their college education.
The Andrews Center also houses continuing and community education classes, the Eugene L. Matthews Historical Museum, and a
performance venue that provides enhanced educational and cultural opportunities for all citizens of Bradford and nearby counties. The
center is an integral part of Starke’s downtown redevelopment and restoration.
Blount Center
SF’s Blount Center is located in the heart of downtown Gainesville, convenient to both the east and west sides of the city. Day and
night courses allow students to take a class during lunch break or after work, including prerequisites for SF’s health sciences
programs or classes for a University of Florida requirement.
The Blount Center serves as an outreach and educational facility for citizens in central Gainesville; delivers training programs for
business, industry, and employees of city and county government; and provides free meeting rooms for civic, business and
professional groups and underserved populations.
Adjacent to the Blount Center is SF’s Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED). The college is dedicated to
regional economic development. The CIED custom designs short, long and “eLearning” online courses for professionals, businesses,
industries and governments, and offers incubator services that enable new businesses to establish themselves.
8 www.sfcollege.edu
Davis Center
SF’s Davis Center provides a gateway to college nearby for the residents of Archer and the southwestern part of Alachua County.
The educational building includes general classrooms, a computer lab, offices, and a community/common meeting room.
Students receive help with admission, registration, testing, advisement and financial aid applications. In addition to college classes
the Davis Center offers high school dual enrollment, GED/Adult Education, and community education.
Kirkpatrick Center
SF’s Institute of Public Safety (IPS) is located at the Kirkpatrick Center in northeast Gainesville. The Kirkpatrick Center houses the
Police/Corrections Academy, Criminal Justice Selection Center, Emergency Medical Services and Fire Science Programs, and an
Aviation program. IPS also provides advanced and specialized law enforcement and corrections courses.
Courses at the Institute vary and may lead to employment upon completion, certification and professional advancement, or a twoyear Associate degree.
Northwest Campus
The main SF campus is located in northwest Gainesville adjacent to I-75. The campus is home to Admissions, Administration and
Financial Aid offices, as well as academic, student and athletic centers. New additions to the NW Campus include the Perry
Construction Institute, a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered building; a University of Florida/Santa Fe
College Learning Center for online education; and the Fine Arts Hall, a state-of-the-art performance and educational center.
Perry Center for Emerging Technologies
Santa Fe College’s Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua is focused on giving students hands-on experience in a stateof-the-art laboratory environment to prepare students for careers in the rapidly expanding world of laboratory science. Programs
Include Biotechnology Laboratory Technology, Biomedical Engineering Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science and an expanding
general education curriculum
Watson Center
Santa Fe College’s Watson Center in Keystone Heights offers all of the classes needed to earn an associate’s degree.
If attending a four-year university is your goal, the Watson Center has the resources to prepare you to transfer as a junior into
several different programs. Having many of the county’s public services on campus means convenience few other schools can offer.
If your interest lies in the sciences, the Watson Center has a state-of-the-art organic chemistry lab. As the campus includes a
native Florida sand hill ecosystem, you can study the world—both in the lab and in the natural environment—without leaving the
beautiful 43-acre campus. The Watson Center weather station serves as a data provider for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).
Open Campus (Online Courses)
SF’s online classes in Open Campus offer the flexibility for you to further your education while still managing a job, family, or other
obligations. The course start and end dates are the same as for traditionally delivered classes, but you can set your daily work
schedule to participate in class when it is convenient. You will log in to the college’s learning management system, Canvas, to read
materials, participate in class discussions, take exams, and submit work any time during the day or night.
The number of online courses available at Santa Fe increases every semester. Currently there are many programs, ranging from
certificates to bachelor’s degrees that can be fulfilled completely online. SF students can also pursue the B.S. in Business
Administration from the University of Florida. The US@SF Center, in partnership with the University of Florida, provides counseling
and support for SF and UF students who are pursuing studies online.
College Assets for the Community
SF offers many cultural activities to enrich the community’s quality of life.
The 606 seat, 39,600-square-foot Santa Fe College Fine Arts Hall features concerts, plays, dance performances and workshops offering
students experience in the performing arts, and enriches the cultural life of the community.
The Santa Fe Gallery, located on the Northwest Campus, features local and contemporary artists.
SF’s annual Spring Arts Festival attracts 110,000 visitors to Gainesville and is one of the community’s largest economic events. Santa Fe’s
Bradford Fest, featuring the Boots-N-BBQ competition, is a leading community event in Bradford County.
The Northwest Campus Circle of Science presents a variety of sciences to the college and community. The Kika Silva Pla Planetarium
features two state-of-the-art planetarium projectors. In the Jean Klein Rock Cycle Garden is a series of large boulders arranged in geological

Student Affairs
Admissions
Admissions Office
The Office of Admissions is where staff help students with questions or concerns about getting started, admissions advisement, preliminary
academic advisement, and assistance with residency, New Student Orientation, the difference between types of degree programs, and campus
tours. Students can also apply for admission or pick up and submit required forms at the Office of Admissions. In addition, the Office of
Admissions is responsible for recruitment of prospective students to Santa Fe College and the Student Ambassador Program.
For a helpful checklist of the steps involved in the admissions process categorized by type of student, please visit our website at
www.sfcollege.edu/admissions.
Admissions Criteria
High school graduation (standard diploma) or high school equivalency certificate (GED) issued by a state Board of Education is required for all
applicants seeking admission to college credit programs and courses at SF. There are four exceptions:
• • • • Non-high school graduates 18 years, or older possessing certificates of completion, are eligible to enroll for certain certificate courses
only. These students are not eligible for most forms of financial aid.
Early admission students will be accepted only from the college district upon the recommendation of the Alachua or Bradford County
School Boards in accordance with the regulations set by those organizations.
Alachua or Bradford County senior high school students are permitted to enroll in individual credit courses on recommendation of
their high school principals. Specific units of high school preparation are not required, but students should have completed courses in
English, social studies, mathematic and the natural sciences.
In the case of a student who is home schooled, a signed affidavit submitted by the student’s parents or legal guardian attesting that
the student has completed a home education program pursuant to the requirements of s. 232.02(4) is required. This affidavit must be
accompanied by documentation by the appropriate school board demonstrating that the home school was registered in the county in
which the home school was administered. In the case of a home school “umbrella” organization, a final, official transcript must be
submitted from the umbrella service in addition to the home school affidavit.
High School Transcripts
• • • • • Final, official high school transcripts, copy of GED, or home school affidavit must be received and processed by the Office of
Admissions PRIOR to receiving academic advisement and registering for classes.
Effective July 1, 2011, the United States Department of Education (USDOE) mandates that institutions must determine if a student’s
high school diploma is valid and obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education.
Please contact the Office of Admissions for information regarding admission to the college, deadline dates for submission of
applications, and all forms necessary for admission to the college.
Write Santa Fe College, 3000 NW 83rd Street, Gainesville, Florida 32606; visit our website at www.sfcollege.edu; visit our office on
the Northwest Campus in Building R, room 101, or call 352-395-7322 or 352-395-5000.
Students who have earned a previous Associate of Arts degree or higher must submit their final, official high school transcripts before
receiving financial aid.
Campus Tours
Campus tours are offered through the Office at Admissions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day, excluding college holidays and weekends. Please
schedule your campus tour at www.sfcollege/admissions.
New Student Orientation
Attending New Student Orientation is one of the most vital things you will do to get started on the right foot in college. Orientation is where you
will meet other new students, learn about college policies and procedures, explore college services and organizations, and register for classes.
Students are required to attend New Student Orientation after completing academic advisement and placement testing, if needed. On-campus
New Student Orientation is mandatory for all first-time-in college, in-district (Alachua or Bradford County) students. Students who are out-ofdistrict or transfer students may attend New Student Orientation online through eSantaFe.
Assessment and Placement
The placement testing requirement is intended to provide the college with an indication of a student’s abilities in terms of communication and
computation at the college level.
For information on admissions qualifications and required testing using the Florida's Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT),
please consult our website at www.sfcollege.edu.
11 www.sfcollege.edu
Students whose placement test scores are below college level are encouraged to 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.
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's Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT), provided the scores are less than two years old.
ALL first-time-in-college (freshmen) A.A.-degree seeking students who are exempted from taking the PERT 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.
Students who score below the designated state cut-scores are required to develop college level skills and are encouraged to do so before
they enroll in college level courses. Students whose native language is not English may have additional testing requirements.
Please Note: You might be impacted by state legislation regarding Assessment and Placement, and Developmental Education which
went into effect January 1, 2014. If you graduated from a Florida public high school with a standard diploma in 2007 or later, you may be
exempt from taking a placement test and/or Developmental Education coursework. If interested in learning more about this and to see if you are
eligible for the exemption, please make an appointment to speak with your Academic Advisor as soon as possible. You can find your assigned

Financial Aid
Financial aid is money provided to assist you in meeting college costs. Federal, state, and Institutional funding are three sources of financial aid.
Funding can also come from private sources such as private scholarships offered by various outside organizations. Different types of financial aid
include grants, scholarships, work-study and loans. You may owe a repayment of Federal Student Aid if you withdraw from the college, stop attending, or fail all classes within the term. You may view the entire federal repayment policy on the Santa Fe College website. We strongly
recommend checking with the Financial Aid office in R-122 before withdrawing from a class.
Who Should Apply?
Most financial aid programs require "financial need" and are based on family income. The US Department of Education determines the formula and criteria that is used to calculate the amount of financial aid for which you are eligible. In addition to need, you must meet the following criteria: • You must be accepted as degree-­seeking in an A.A. degree or A.S. career program, or certificate–seeking in a financial aid eligible vocational training program. At Santa Fe College, this means that you have an admission / catalog year for your program. Students who are "Pending" in a program are not yet fully accepted. • You must be a U.S. Citizen, national or eligible non-­citizen. • You must not be in default on a prior student loan. • You must be registered for Selective Service, if required. • You m ust have a valid high school diploma or equivalent such as a G ED certificate. • You must be meeting standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). If you are unsure about qualifying for financial aid, you are still encouraged to apply using the FASFA at www.FASFA.ed.gov. You can find out more about basic financial aid eligibility at www.studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility/basic-­criteria. Satisfactory Academic Standards (SAP)
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regulations (34 CFR 668.34) require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid. Specific requirements for academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than college Academic Standards, Warning, Probation and Suspension. Federal regulations state that Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether or not aid was received. The student must meet all the minimum standards in order to receive financial aid. Students m ust m eet the following criteria: • Complete 67% of all credits attempted. • Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. • Complete their program of study within 150% timeframe of their degree or eligible certificate program. For example, if a program is 60 credit hours then the student must complete all required coursework within 90 hours. • Students who have zero credits hours completed for any funded term will be suspended if their overall GPA is below a 2.0 and/or their 23 www.sfcollege.edu
completion ratio is below 67 percent. The initial evaluation at SF will be based on all previous institutions attended once the official transcripts are received, evaluated, and posted to the student’s record. Transfer students must have a 2.0 all college cumulative GPA and complete 67% of attempted credits accepted towards their program of study. Note: Dropped, repeated, withdrawn, failed and liquidated coursework is considered attempted but not meeting progress standards for the purposes of financial aid. • Steps to Financial Aid
Please follow the five steps below to make sure your financial aid is awarded without delay: 1. Complete the FAFSA: You must apply for financial aid each academic year, and can apply as early as January. To apply, file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application at www.fafsa.ed.gov. • When filing your FAFSA application, keep the following in mind: • Use SF College School Code 001519. • If you leave your housing plans blank, you will be awarded aid based on a commuter budget. • SF C ollege w ill automatically receive a n e lectronic file w ith your F AFSA information that w ill b e u sed to d etermine your financial a id, if you use School Code 001519. • If you need assistance filing the FAFSA, visit the computer lab in R-­226 on the NW campus. • Once you file the FAFSA, you will be able to access your FASFA application using your FSA ID or federal PIN. 2. Request proof of high school graduation or equivalent, and request all postsecondary transcripts from any and all prior institutions. Start this process as soon as possible because it may take time to receive and process transcripts. • Proof of high school graduation or equivalent must be submitted to the Admissions Office. • Prior school transcripts must be submitted to the Records Office. If you have attended any other college or university, you must submit all official final transcripts to the Records Office. This includes technical schools, out-­of-­state schools and even schools attended for less than a year or semester. 3. Apply for admission to Santa Fe College 4. Furnish all required/requested documents and transcripts to the appropriate offices. • You may view required documents on eSantaFe. • Documents other than transcripts must be turned in to the Financial Aid Office (with name and SF ID on each page) by one of the following methods: • Email to financial.aid@sfcollege.edu • Fax to 352-­381-­7050 • In person in R-­122 of the NW Campus, open M-­F 8:00 am -­ 4:30 pm • An incomplete admission or financial aid file will delay your financial aid. 5. Search for the term "Scholarships" on the Santa Fe College website, or visit the Career Resource Center in Room R-­217 for information regarding scholarships. 6. View your degree audit online before you register for classes, and make an appointment to see your academic advisor or a program advisor if you have questions about your current or desired program. 7. Check your financial aid status on eSantaFe through the Financial Aid section and read your notifications regularly in case additional information is needed. Where to Get H elp If you have a question or need help with any part of the financial aid process, you may email us at financial.aid@ sfcollege.edu, call us at 352-­395-­5480 or you may visit the Financial Aid Office in R-­122. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm The Federal FSA ID (PIN) Starting 2015, a FSA ID will replace the FSA PIN as the login process for federal student websites. Existing users will be able to link their PIN information to the FSA ID. Your federal FSA ID/ PIN allows you to: • Access your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. • Sign your FAFSA electronically or obtain a copy of your FAFSA information. • Complete your Federal Direct Student Loan electronic Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov. (Required for all students who want loans). • Review your grant and loan history on the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at www.nslds.ed.gov. • If you are a dependent student and one of your parents has a PIN, he or she can sign the application electronically using their PIN. Verification
Verification is the process required by the U.S. Department of Education to check the accuracy of the information submitted on the FAFSA. Verification may occur at any time during the application or awarding process. In most cases, applicants are selected for verification by the Department of Education;; however, the college may also select a student. If selected, the federal processor will notify you, and/or SF will notify you via eSantaFe. Students (and parents for dependent students) will be asked to provide additional inform ation and documents. Verification must be completed before any funds are disbursed (paid). 24 www.sfcollege.edu

Visit eSantaFe to view the status of your file or awards received, including the amount and disbursement date of your financial aid.
A Few Things to Know
If you are awarded a Federal Direct Student Loan, you must complete and Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN) if you
have not already done so for a prior Federal Direct Loan.
• Many outside organizations offer scholarships to students who meet certain criteria including, but not limited to their ethnic background, professional affiliations, field of study, and/or place of residence. You can search for the term "Scholarship" at www.sfcollege.edu to find out more. Transfer Students
If you plan to transfer to SF during the year you should: • Have all official final transcripts sent to the Records Office at SF (required) • Have at least a 2.0 GPA and a 67% completion rate after all official transfer course work has been evaluated.* • Add the SF Federal School code 001519 to the FAFSA. • Tell your current school about your transfer plans and request that they cancel your aid at that school. *All transfer credits as well as attempted course work at SF will be included as attempted credit hours. Critical Enrollment Information
Maximum eligibility for funding is based on a full-­time enrollment status;; however, part-­time students are often eligible for financial aid. Financial aid must be calculated by determining a student’s enrollment status based only on course work applicable to the student’s degree or certificate at Santa Fe College. Enrollment status categories for funding are as follows: • Full-­time status is 12 credit hours or more. • Three-­quarter time status is 9 to 11 credit hours. • Half-­time status is 6 to 8 credit hours. • Less than half-­time status is 1 to 5 credit hours. Students who plan to register for less than half-­time enrollment status should pay close attention to the eligibility requirements. Please work with an Academic Counselor if you are uncertain about how many credit hours you can successfully complete. Note that dropped, repeated, withdrawn and liquidated coursework all count as attempts for federal Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. Standard Term and Flexterm Enrollment
A standard term is 16 weeks long. The standard fall term runs from August to December. The flexterm session occurs within the standard
term at an accelerated pace. For example, the fall A flexterm runs from August to the middle of October, approximately eight weeks. Your fall financial aid will be based on your projected enrollment in ALL sessions as of the end of the regular “Drop With A Refund” date,
August 27, 2013, OR the date the federal government processes your financial aid application, the date that your financial aid is initially
calculated by SF, or the date after your program change is finalized, whichever is later. This is referred to as your “lock-in” date for determining
all of your financial aid for the standard term, A flexterm, or B flexterm. This same financial aid awarding process will also apply to the spring and
summer terms of 2014. Spring “lock-in” is January 10, 2014 and summer “lock-in” is May 16, 2014.
The lock-in date for students who attend only the B flexterm will be the end of the regular Drop With A Refund date for the B flexterm or
their processed date, or the date that their financial aid is initially calculated by SF, whichever is later.
If your application is processed by the federal government after the lock-in date for the standard fall term, August 27, 2013, then your
registration will be “locked-in” at the processed date or the date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF, whichever is later. Please plan
accordingly in scheduling your courses for future terms, and for any flexterms within the terms.
Submitting a program change after the “Drop With a Refund” date may delay payment of your financial aid and is not recommended.
Program changes requested and activated before disbursement for the term may result in a recalculation of your awards. Aid may be adjusted
up or down as a result of program changes, and applies to all programs and all students.
Disclaimer The information provided here is a summary of financial aid information. You are responsible for knowing all policies and procedures outlined in the SF 2015-­2016 Financial Aid Handbook. Refunds and Financial Aid Disbursements
Santa Fe College has partnered with Higher One to provide students with free direct deposit of financial aid disbursements and refunds from SF via the SF SmartCard. With the SF SmartCard, payments are delivered in two different forms: Easy Refund to the student’s HigherOne Account or direct deposit to the student’s personal bank account. A check w ill be mailed via US Mail (after 21 days) if no deposit selection is made. Financial aid disbursements are sent to HigherOne for processing approximately three business days after the “Drop With a Refund” date and as soon as aid is available. Financial aid disbursements will not be processed for students with an outstanding financial obligation to the college. If you have questions about a financial obligation, please contact the Cashier’s Office located in the Alan J. Robertson 25 www.sfcollege.edu
Administration Building, room 52. Hours: Monday -­ Friday, 8:15 a.m. – 4 p.m. Deferred Fees A fee deferment is a charge of fees with the promise to pay at the established deadline. It does not automatically pay your fees;; it only delays the payment. Even if your schedule shows a $0.00 balance due that includes the deferment, the fee deferment is based on your estimated available funding and is only a temporary credit until SF receives funds on your behalf. A deferment does not relieve you of the obligation to pay. If for any reason you do not receive your estimated funding (from financial aid, the VA or any other source), you are responsible for the tuition and fees for any classes you are enrolled in after the drop with a refund deadline. You will need to "officially" drop your classes before the deadline in order to not be responsible for tuition and fees. You will be notified in writing that you have a fee deferment. If the total deferred fees are not paid by the deadline, you will be flagged for a financial obligation to the college with a hold on all records and will be turned over to collections. Veterans and other persons who are eligible for fee deferments must have the deferment processed at the cashier’s window in the Robertson Administration Building by the due date. Tuition for financial aid recipients may be deferred if fees are less than or equal to the amount of projected financial aid for the term. Additional information may be found in the Financial Aid Handbook. Student Financial Obligations
You are responsible for your financial obligations to Santa Fe College. Accordingly, if you are delinquent in satisfying any obligations, you will not
be permitted to graduate, register, receive a transcript for completed course work or benefit from other regular college services.
Any student who has paid for course registration fees with a check or e-payment that is dishonored for any reason must make immediate
restitution to the college. All returned payments are subject to a returned item fee. After determination by the Office for Finance that timely
restitution is unlikely, the student’s registration will be canceled. In no instance shall the student’s enrollment be continued beyond the point
where the dishonored check has been rejected by the bank on resubmission.
Audit Fees
Any student in the college may elect to audit a college credit course at the time of registration. You may not switch from credit to audit or from
audit to credit after the drop/add period. No credit is granted when the course is completed, nor can any be given at a future date. Audit
students pay the same tuition fees, application fees, laboratory fees and special fees as credit students.
Additional College Credit Course Fee
An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in a college credit course more than two times. The additional fee to be assessed shall
be equal to the amount of the non-resident tuition fee.
College Preparatory Course Fee
An additional fee will be assessed to students enrolling in certain College Preparatory courses more than two times in order to meet the state
requirement to pay 100 percent of the instructional cost of the course. The additional fee to be assessed shall be equal to the amount of the nonresident tuition fee.

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

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

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

In this example, the student earned six grade points on 13 semester hours. Thus, 13 times two = 26 grade points needed for a C
average. Since only six grade points were earned, this student would have a 20 grade point deficit and, therefore, would be
suspended after just one term.
Academic Warning, Probation and Suspension
To complete degree and certificate program requirements, students must meet SF’s Standards of Academic Progress:
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on academic warning if they have a grade point deficit of 9 or less.
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be placed on academic probation if they have a grade point deficit of 10 or more but less than 20.
• Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or more shall be suspended for one semester (15 weeks).
See the description of the Standards of Academic Progress (SLS1531) course online in the classes section at Student Development
Instruction. This course is intended to help suspended students return to college successfully. Students readmitted after their suspension term,
or those who receive suspension overrides, should enroll in this course.
Academic Dismissal
Students returning from suspension will be on probation. If, at the end of the term they return, their grade point deficit is still 20 or more, they will
be dismissed from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. The student
may then petition the college for possible readmission. 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 performance 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 under suspension from another institution may not earn credit at Santa Fe College, and a student under suspension from Santa Fe
may not earn credits toward a degree from this institution by taking courses at another institution. In each case, it is the student’s 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
Academic Probation
Academic Suspension
1-9 grade point deficit
10-19 grade point deficit
20 or more grade point deficit
Transferring to Santa Fe With Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe’s Standards of Progress using the same criteria applied to non-transfer students. Transfer
students entering with deficit grade points will be assigned to the appropriate category, 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 Records (Building R, room
112) up until the official withdrawal date each term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/session is available in the online calendar
and via eSantaFe.
A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. An attempt is defined as an
enrollment in a course where any grade is assigned or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses that are dropped prior to the drop
with a refund date will not be counted as an attempt.
The student will be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon the third attempt, the student will not be permitted to
withdraw and will receive a grade for that course.
Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on a third attempt, a student must pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal
to the non-Florida resident cost of tuition. Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted by the college registrar for documented
cases of extreme hardship. A petition for waiver of the full fees must be requested before the end of drop/add for the term or session in
which the course is attempted for the third time. No waivers are granted retroactively.
Transient
Santa Fe students wishing to attend another post-secondary institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe College must obtain
permission from SF before enrolling at the other institution. Students should fill out a transient form, seek advisement about courses they
28 www.sfcollege.edu
wish to take, and have their status at SF certified in the Office of Records before enrolling at another institution. Transient forms are
available online at www.flvc.org.

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

Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are required to re-register for the failed course 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 MAT0022 or MAT0028.
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 instruction 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 maintain continuous enrollment in required
College Preparatory course work to maintain eligibility for enrollment in college level courses, students may not drop a College Preparatory
course and remain registered in a college level course.
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 will count 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, Building G, room 18.
29 www.sfcollege.edu
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 English 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

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 Preparatory
students. Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in any Prep ESL (EAP) course. Withdrawal from one of these courses after
the last day to withdraw and receive a refund counts as an attempt.
Cooperative Education
Courses offered by this program allow students to apply knowledge obtained in the classroom in a variety of actual work settings. Students
are able to gain valuable work experience and skills not obtainable in the classroom. Registration for Cooperative Education classes is by
Cooperative Education Department permission only (Building I, room 40).
Each Cooperative Education placement involves the student in the work site search, which often resembles a competitive job search.
The work site may provide experience to the student as a paid job or as volunteer work experience, 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 Cooperative
Education coordinator utilizes experiential-type reports and other assignments submitted by the student at the end of each term, combined
with the performance evaluation submitted by the site supervisor, to determine an appropriate grade. Cooperative Education course hours
designated as occupational (O) are not transferable nor will those hours count toward graduation requirements for the A.A. degree or
impact the student’s GPA.
Degree Programs
Santa Fe College grants five degrees: Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), Associate of Science (A.S.),
Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.), and Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
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.
All incoming A.A. degree seeking students are required to begin progress in meeting 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
semester until they have satisfied the mathematics requirement for their respective degrees.
Associate of Applied Science Degree
The Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to students who successfully complete the Construction and Technical
program. 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 college level courses to
prepare for entry into employment and including 15-18 hours of General Education courses transferable to the State University
System. Some senior institutions have established programs to build on the Associate of Science degree. Students wishing to
transfer to such programs should check with the upper division school to which they expect to apply.
Bachelor of Applied Science Degree
30 www.sfcollege.edu
The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) is the designated degree for baccalaureate programs designed to accommodate the
flexible demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce sectors. B.A.S. programs provide degree completion
opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but primarily those with the Associate of Science degree.
B.A.S. degree programs conform to all articulation conventions (including common course prerequisites, common course
numbering, and faculty credentialing) in accordance with Florida statewide articulation standards. All B.A.S. degree programs at
Santa Fe College include one or more capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the application
of acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies. Currently, SF offers five B.A.S. degree programs--in Clinical Laboratory Science,
Health Services Administration, Industrial Biotechnology, Multimedia and Video Production Technology, and Organizational
Management.
Bachelor of Science Degree
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) is the designated four-year degree for baccalaureate programs comprised of concentrated studies in
the sciences, applied sciences, health sciences, or professional disciplines. Bachelor of Science degree programs provide degree
completion opportunities for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may hold the Associate of Arts
or Associate of Science degree. Currently, Santa Fe College offers two Bachelor of Science degree programs--in Nursing and in
Early Childhood Education.
Graduation
Santa Fe College has an Auto-Graduation process. Students will be notified via the college’s official notification system of their potential
eligibility to graduate and prompted to review and edit their application that will be automatically created. Students will have the ability to
review and edit the graduation application continuously until the end of the eligible term. Students will also have the ability to “Opt Out” of
the Auto-Graduation process if desired. Students who will be graduating in the summer semester may attend either the spring or fall
graduation, but names of summer graduates are printed only in the December commencement program.
Catalog Year
Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements that must be fulfilled for graduation. Students graduate under the catalog in
effect at the time of their initial enrollment at Santa Fe provided they maintain continuous enrollment (registration for, and completion of, at
least one course for one full term in an academic year).
Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment will be assigned the catalog in effect at the time they readmit or resume enrollment.
Students may choose to graduate under the requirements of a later catalog, but they must fulfill all graduation requirements from that
alternative catalog year.
A.A. degree students should consult with an academic advisor.
The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the curriculum requirements appropriate to each student’s catalog year.
However, courses and programs will sometimes be discontinued and requirements may change as a result of curricular review or actions
by accrediting associations and other agencies.
Experiential Learning
Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by experience in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are required to
send requests for experiential learning credit to the appropriate academic program areas following completion of the Previous
Experience/Training Credit form. The academic departments request the appropriate documentation from the registrar to determine that
another institution has not already credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting the experiential credit are determined
within each department. Experiential credits based on work experience require a letter from the student’s employer documenting time in
position, job title, duties, and employer contact information. Experiential credit is usually granted only for internships. Credit granted through
this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to requests from
other institutions. Applications forms for experiential learning are available from the Office of the Registrar, building R room 112, or upon
request at 352-395-5514.
31 www.sfcollege.edu
Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS)
Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System
(SCNS). This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by participating nonpublic institutions. The major
purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions. Students and administrators can use the online
SCNS to obtain course descriptions and specific information about course transfer between participating Florida institutions. This information is
at the SCNS website at http://scns.fldoe.org.
Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of the course
number to indicate the level at which students normally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits of the course numbers are
assigned by members of faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the Florida Department of Education in Tallahassee.
Individuals nominated to serve on these committees are selected to maintain a representative balance as to type of institution and discipline field
or specialization.
The course prefix and each digit in the course number have a meaning in the SCNS. The listing of prefixes and associated courses
is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as “statewide course profiles.”

GENERAL RULE FOR COURSE EQUIVALENCIES
Equivalent courses at different institutions are identified by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course number and are
guaranteed to be transferable between participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions, as listed below in Exceptions to the
General Rule for Equivalency.
For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 84 different public and nonpublic postsecondary institutions. Each
institution uses “ENC_101” to identify its freshman composition 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” represents a laboratory course or the laboratory
part of a course that has the same prefix and course number but 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 a Florida College System institution 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 completed equivalent courses and used by the
receiving institution to determine satisfaction of requirements by transfer students on the same basis as credit awarded to the native students. It
is the prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed that have not been designated
as equivalent.
NOTE: Credit generated at institutions on the quarter-term system may not transfer the equivalent number of credits to institutions on
the semester-term system. For example, 4.0 quarter hours often transfers as 2.67 semester hours.
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategory 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
system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution 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 offered 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 system. 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 disciplines or types of courses have been excepted from the guarantee of
transfer for equivalent courses. These include courses that must be evaluated individually or 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 nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question.
C. Courses in the _900-999 series are not automatically transferable, and must be evaluated individually. These include such courses as
Special Topics, Internships, Apprenticeships, Practica, Study Abroad, Theses, and Dissertations.
D. Applied academics for adult education courses.
E. Graduate courses.
F. Internships, apprenticeships, practica, clinical experiences, and study abroad courses with numbers other than those ranging from
900-999.
G. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance, Interior Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills courses in Criminal Justice
(academy certificate courses) are not guaranteed as transferable. These courses need evidence of achievement (e.g., portfolio,
audition, interview, etc.).
33 www.sfcollege.edu
COURSES AT NONREGIONALLY ACCREDITED INSTITUTIONS
The SCNS makes available on its home page (http://scns.fldoe.org) a report entitled “Courses at Nonregionally Accredited
Institutions” that contains a comprehensive listing of all nonpublic institution courses in the SCNS inventory, as well as each course’s transfer
level and transfer effective date. This report is updated monthly.
Questions about the SCNS and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should be directed to Korona Skipper in the Office
of Curriculum and Scheduling in the Robertson Administration Building, room 12, or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of
Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling
the SCNS office at (850) 245-0427 or at http://scns.fldoe.org.

the transcript. Attempts marked with a T are not included with calculating the cumulative grade point average; attempts marked with
an R are included when calculating the cumulative grade point average. The student will be allowed only two repeat attempts per
course. Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may not accept a grade of a repeated course, or may compute
the grade originally assigned. Students receiving financial aid of any type are cautioned to check with the Financial Aid office to
ensure that the repeat course will count toward their financial aid award.
4. Grade point averages are determined by computing the ratio of grade points earned to semester hours attempted. Grades of W and X
are not included in total grade point averages.
Academic Honors List
Students in Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree programs are eligible for the Academic Honors List in the fall and spring terms.
Eligible students must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per term, in courses other than supplementary or College Preparatory, and earn a
minimum grade point average of 3.5.
Honors Program
The Honors Program fosters academic excellence in Santa Fe College's best, brightest, and most motivated students. The program provides
Honors sections of General Education classes, as well as special elective offerings.
Qualified students are invited to participate in the Honors Program each term. Every Honors course is specially noted on the official SF
transcript. Upon completion of the program requirements, students receive an Honors designation on the Associate of Arts degree, special
recognition at graduation, and an Honors certificate. In order to graduate from the program with a certificate, students must:
• Complete at least 15 hours of Honors course work.
• Maintain an overall 3.5 GPA.
Admission Requirements
Current and transfer students are invited to join the program after meeting the following criteria:
1. A 3.5 academic GPA and a minimum of 12 credit hours in A.A. degree course work at SF or at another College, and
2. Two faculty recommendations and completion of application;
OR
3. Special approval by the Honors Program coordinator.
34 www.sfcollege.edu
Dual Enrollment and incoming students with strong high school records and test scores are also accepted. For more information,
contact the Honors Program at 352-381-3825.
Individual Study
Individual Study credit may satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate of Applied Science degree, provided that no more than
three semester hours of credit are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts degree, Individual Study credits may not be used to
meet the General Education requirements although it may be used as elective credit.
No more than three semester hours of credit can be applied to any one Individual Study request. An Individual Study may not duplicate any
pre-existing course in the college curriculum. Forms are available in the offices of the academic chairpersons and academic directors.
The Individual Study outline must be typed. The outline must include objectives, texts and/or materials, meeting times with the designated
instructor, and methods of evaluation (exam, term paper, etc.). It is the student’s responsibility, rather than the instructor’s, to prepare the outline.
Individual Study forms must be completed and submitted with the typed outline to the appropriate chairperson or academic director by the first
day of the term in which credit is to be awarded. Students must then submit the form to the Office of Curriculum and Scheduling, located in the
Robertson Administration Building, room 15, to have the course created. Students will register for Individual Study courses with their copy of the
form on or before the last day to add classes for the term that credit is to be awarded. Individual Study credit is awarded and applied to the
transcript at the end of the term.
Specialized Group Study
Specialized Group Study credits may satisfy General Education requirements for the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in the areas
of Communications/Humanities, Math/Science and Social/Behavioral Sciences, provided that no more than three semester hours of such credit
are applied to any one specific area. For the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree and the Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees, however, Specialized
Group Study 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 College students are eligible to enroll in the General Military Course taught at the University
of Florida. Transferring at a later date to one of the more than 140 colleges and universities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon completion
of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
The General Military Course 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 Training Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation by taking this
course of instruction and are eligible to compete for two- and three-year scholarships. These scholarships can 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 commission as a second lieutenant in the Active Army,
Army Reserve or National Guard. Students who do not transfer to an upper division college and who desire to enlist in the Army may be able to
do so at a higher pay level.
To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, contact the Army ROTC Detachment at UF, 352-392-1395.
Fee Waivers
60 Plus Fee Waivers
Santa Fe College will waive registration fees (excluding lab fees, materials, technology, or access fees) for residents of Alachua and Bradford
counties who are 60 years of age or older for all credit courses on a space available basis. “Space available” is defined as the last day of
drop/add for the term/session. Waivers will not be processed in cases where the initial registration for the course was prior to that date. No
waivers are available for any continuing education courses offered through the Center for Business, www.sfcollege.edu/cied/conted/. 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 60 Plus waivers. Verification of age and address by
driver’s license, birth certificate or voter’s registration card must be provided when applying for the waiver.
State Employee Tuition Fee Waivers
In accordance with Section 1009.265, Florida Statutes, Santa Fe College will waive tuition and fees (excluding lab fees, access fees, or
technology 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
35 www.sfcollege.edu
of drop/add). Please note that Section 1009.265(5), F.S. defines state employees as employees of the executive, legislative, and judicial
branches of state government and specifically excludes university employees. Also, proviso language in the General Appropriations Act specifies
that state employees must be “full-time” employees. Waivers will not be granted for courses where the initial registration was prior to the last
date of drop/add. Eligible employees should bring documentation from their employer to the cashier’s office in the Robertson Administration
Building or fax it to 352-381-7020.

equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams. Public
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. SF
students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours of course credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed below; however, a maximum of 30
hours may be awarded for the IB diploma.
Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice.
Credit for all exams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed on the chart

www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/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
36 www.sfcollege.edu
of performance on the examinations and the specific courses for which credit may be granted are subject to change according to the decisions of
a statewide committee.
The CLEP examination may be taken at SF, 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 SF Office of Records (Building R, room 112). The results are evaluated and
recorded on the student’s transcript if credit is earned. Transfer students must have all transcripts on file from their previous institutions prior to
having CLEP credit awarded. There is no charge for posting credits. Semester hours toward graduation are recorded as “credit by examination”
with no grades or quality points given. These credits do not affect a student’s grade point average.
Credit for the general and subject examinations may be earned in those areas where students have not already earned academic credit.
Credit for the examinations may be earned, provided the student has not already earned credit for the particular course(s) for which Santa Fe
could give examination credit. Credit is not awarded for a basic course in areas where advanced course credit has been earned. No examination
may be repeated in an attempt to receive credit. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies awarded are subject to
change for any examination without prior notice.
Credit for all exams is awarded based on the recommendation of the State of Florida Articulation Coordinating Committee as listed on the
chart found at www.fldoe.org/articulation/. For more information, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 352-395-5451.
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 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 112) for more information.
Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE)
The AICE program is an international, advanced secondary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the British system of “A-Levels.”
Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit
guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R, room 112) for more information.
Excelsior College Examinations
Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Examination Program) are developed
by Excelsior College, using national committees of faculty consultants and national studies to assess how well the tests measure the
performance of students in actual college courses. Excelsior College Examinations are approved by the American Council on Education, and
Excelsior College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation
Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade
points assigned. Contact the Office of Records (Building R, room 112) for more information.
Department Credit by Examination
Students wishing to earn course credit by passing a departmental examination should consult the department in which the course is taught.
Students may not apply for course credit through an SF Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is available. Students should be aware that
SF Credit Examinations may not be offered for certain courses due to the nature of a particular course’s content.
Students may not take an examination for credit in a course if they have attempted the course at SF (receiving either an A, B, C, D, F, I or W
for work attempted) or if they have earned credit for an advanced course in that area. Decisions about the relevancy of particular advanced
courses will be made by instructors giving the examination. Credit by examination will not be counted in student course loads, but will be
averaged into student grade point averages. Credit by examination will not be available during the period between official college terms or on
official college holidays.
Procedure for SF Department Credit by Examination
1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application available in the offices of academic chairpersons and directors.
2. Completed applications are presented to department or discipline chair or director. If the application is approved, the chair or
director will explain how the examination will be administered according to current procedures. Depending on the discipline or
program area, either individual examination dates for each student or a common examination date for all students will be set
each term.
3. Requests are presented to the appropriate chair or director for approval (signature).
4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier’s window in the Robertson Administration Building for payment of the $30 examination
fee.
5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/program area examiner indicated in step two above.
6. Upon completion of the examination, the examiner will forward the results (application) to the appropriate office and will also
telephone that office to verify the test grade. The completed examination will be placed in the division’s Credit by Examination
file for the discipline or program area.
7. Students must then return to the office where the application was made, pick up a copy of the signed form and take it to the
Office of Records (Building R, room 112) for final recording. Students must allow one week after completion of the examination
before picking up the copy from the appropriate office.
37 www.sfcollege.edu
8. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time after the lapse of one full academic term beyond the term in which the
first attempt was made. Students may not attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in the same course.
Career Pathways College Credit
Career Pathways College credit is a mechanism of accelerated credit that may be implemented during the high school years. Students who have
earned sufficiently high grades in Career and Technical Education or career academy classes while in high school, and who have passed an
exam formulated and administered by Santa Fe College, will receive credit on a permanent college transcript. For more information, please
contact the Career Pathways Office at -352-395-5885.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
The purpose of this document is to provide students with a general overview of both their rights and responsibilities as members of the Santa Fe
College community. This list of student rights and responsibilities was developed using various documents that mandate College policies, rules
and procedures. This document is not intended to create new or additional rights or responsibilities or to supersede or supplement existing rules
and procedures, but merely to serve as a helpful guide for students. In the event a rule or procedure is modified, the terms of that rule or
procedure will govern the students’ rights and responsibilities rather than this summary document.
Academic Freedom. Students have the right to be taught by faculty who have the freedom to 1) teach and discuss any aspect of a topic
pertinent to the understanding of the subject matter of the course that he/she is teaching and 2) act and speak in his/her capacity as a citizen
without institutional censorship or discipline. Santa Fe College has had a long history of responsible academic freedom in which it takes
justifiable pride.
Academic Objectives. Students are responsible for satisfying the entire range of academic objectives as they are defined by the instructor in
any course. Failure to satisfy any of the course objectives may have an adverse effect on the grade earned in the course or may result in the
student receiving no credit in the course. Attendance requirements are included in the academic objectives of each course and shall be
presented in writing by the instructor at the beginning of each term.
Academic Standards of Progress. Students have the right to be informed about academic standards of progress. To be considered in good
standing and continue successfully toward a degree, a student must earn the grade points necessary to maintain a 2.0 ("C") cumulative grade
point average while at Santa Fe. Students not meeting this requirement may be placed on Academic Warning, Academic Probation, or Academic
Suspension.
Articulation Agreement. Students earning the AA degree at Santa Fe College have the right to general admission into one of the state
universities, but not necessarily to the university of choice or to a limited access program, according to the state-wide Community College
Associate in Arts Articulation Agreement. Upon transferring to a state university, AA degree graduates will be awarded at least 60 credit hours
towards the baccalaureate degree. The university catalog in effect the year the AA degree student first enrolled at the community college will
remain in effect for the student's program, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment as defined in that catalog. Once a student has
completed the General Education Core and this is so noted on the transcript, regardless of whether or not an AA degree is awarded, no other
state university or community college to which the student may transfer can require additional courses to the general education core. When
transferring among institutions participating in the Statewide Course Numbering System, a receiving institution must accept all courses taken at
the transfer institution if the same course with the same course number is offered at the receiving institution. Credits earned through acceleration
mechanisms (e.g. College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate, and Dual
Enrollment courses) within the A.A. degree at the community college will be transferable to the state university.
Audit Courses. Students are responsible for indicating whether they intend to receive credit for or audit a college course at the time of
registration. A student may not switch from credit to audit or from audit to credit after the drop/add period. No credit is granted when the course is
completed, nor can any be given at a future date. Audit students pay the same tuition fees, application fees, laboratory fees and special fees as
credit students.
Bus Service. Students have the right to ride buses provided by the Regional Transit System at no additional charge, by
swiping/showing a current SFID. Santa Fe College is regularly serviced by the Regional Transit System (RTS) and buses stop on
campus in front of S building. Bus route information is available in the Robertson Administration Building and S Building.
College Catalog. Students have the right to be governed by the college catalog in effect during the year that they first enrolled at Santa Fe
College. The college catalog in effect the year the AA degree student first enrolled at the College will remain in effect for the duration of the
student's program, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment as defined in that catalog.
Complaints. Students have the right to complain. Santa Fe College seeks to maintain open avenues for students who wish to lodge complaints.
To provide these avenues, the College maintains a responsive system designed to address and resolve student complaints. There are 3 types of
complaints: 1) Informal Complaints 2) Formal Complaints and 3) Appeals. While the College encourages students to resolve issues informally
38 www.sfcollege.edu
whenever possible, it also realizes that informal resolutions are not always practical. When informal means do not resolve the complaint,
students may use the College's formal complaint process.
For Informal Complaints, students are recommended to address the issue directly with party/parties involved; if the issue remains
unresolved, then students are recommended to seek resolution through formal means.
• For Formal Complaints about Discrimination and/or Harassment, students may contact the Equal Access/Equal Opportunity
Coordinator at 3000 NW 83rd Street, R-Annex, Room 105, Gainesville, Florida 32606 or 352-395-5420 or
equity.officer@sfcollege.edu Students may also contact administrators whose responsibilities directly address such issues, such
as: the President or Provost or Vice President, the Director of Human Resources or the Associate Vice Presidents for Academic
Affairs or for Student Affairs.
• For Informal Appeals about Academic Issues, students are recommended to address the issue directly with party/parties involved; if
the issue remains unresolved, then students are recommended to seek resolution through formal means. For Formal Student
Appeals about Academic Issues, students are required to follow the procedures designated for the subject(s) of appeal. Examples
include: Overloads (AVP of Academic Affairs), Exceptional withdrawals (the Petitions Committee) and Access to records (Records).
In addition to these venues and resources, students may seek direction from the FLDOE page http://www.fldoe.org/cc/complaint.asp
devoted to student complaints, College Complaint Procedure Information. This site contains overviews of the complaint process and a link
to a list of the appropriate contact person at each Florida college and university who receives formal student complaints.
Information about filing a complaint with the College’s accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission
on Colleges (SACSCOC), can be found on its website at sacscoc.org/FAQsanswers.asp. Please note that the SACSCOC complaint
process is not intended to be used to involve the Commission in disputes between individuals and member institutions or to cause the
Commission to intervene as a reviewing authority in individual matters; nor does the policy allow the Commission to seek redress on an
individual's behalf. The primary purpose of the SACSCOC complaint procedure is to acquire valuable information regarding an accredited
institution’s possible non-compliance with accreditation standards, policies and procedures rather than to resolve individual disputes.
• Computer Access. Students are responsible for obtaining access to an Internet-connected computer 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, Internet access
fees, software purchases, and cost of maintenance and supplies. Costs of meeting this requirement will be included in financial aid
considerations. No student will be denied access to Santa Fe College because of an inability to purchase or lease a computer, and accordingly,
the College offers access to computers through its computer labs and the library. The College also offers campus WiFi.
Counseling Services. Students have the right to meet with a counselor for personal, academic, career and crisis intervention counseling.
Santa Fe College will provide a staff of professionally trained counselors to help students identify a variety of personal challenges that might be
affecting their performance. Additionally, if a student is facing challenges in the classroom, counselors can help resolve these issues and
improve their academic and personal success as a student. The Counseling Center does provide crisis stabilization and referral resources for
long-term therapy.
Deadlines and Transcripts. Students are responsible for ensuring that SF receives final, official transcripts from the high schools from
which the students graduated and all colleges that students have attended. Final, official transcripts should be on file with the Office of
Records and the Office of Admissions prior to the academic advisement/registration process. The deadline for applying to the college, with
all supporting documents for any given term, is the day before the first day of class. Priority registration is reserved for those applicants
who complete the Admissions process by the Application Priority Dates (April 1 for summer semester, August 1 for fall semester, and
December 1 for spring semester). Financial aid will not be awarded until ALL final, official transcripts are received and processed. For this
and other official college dates, check the calendar online at www.sfcollege.edu or contact the Office of Admissions at 352-395-7322.
These dates are subject to change without notice. Please refer to the Admissions website at www.sfcollege.edu for updated information
regarding admissions deadlines and/or requirements. We strongly encourage you to apply early and complete all registration procedures
before the Priority Dates. Failure to submit the required documentation before the first day of classes may result in your inability to attend
classes for the desired term.
Degree Audit. Students are responsible for accessing the degree audit for degree requirements, graduation status, grades, GPA and university
admission requirements prior to registration. Degree audits are available online via eSantaFe.
Developmental Education. Students who entered a Florida public high school after 2003 and graduated from a Florida public high school with a
standard diploma in 2007 or later and current active duty military students may be exempt from taking a placement test and/or Developmental
Education coursework. If interested in learning more about this and to see if you are eligible for the exemption, please make an appointment to
speak with your Academic Advisor. You can find your assigned advisor and his/her contact information by viewing your Degree Audit in
eSantaFe.
Disabilities. Students have the right to request reasonable substitutions and reasonable accommodations for admission and graduation
requirements based on documented disabilities. Approved accommodations may not fundamentally alter the nature of a course or a program.
Santa Fe College is committed to providing reasonable academic adjustments and auxiliary aids and services to individuals with
disabilities in order to facilitate equal access to the college's facilities, programs, and services. Students with disabilities have the right to
an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from courses, programs, services, and activities offered through the College; to an equal
opportunity to learn, and to receive reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids and services; to appropriate
confidentiality of all disability related information and to choose to whom, outside of the College, disability related information will be disclosed,
except as disclosures are required/permitted by law; and to information, reasonably available in accessible formats. Students registering with the
39 www.sfcollege.edu
Disabilities Resource Center are responsible for self-identifying as an individual with a disability when an accommodation is needed; meeting
qualifications and maintaining essential institutional standards of courses, services, and activities; seeking information, counsel, and assistance
as necessary; demonstrating and/or documenting (from an appropriate professional) how the disability limits their participation in courses,
programs, services, or activities; and following published procedures for obtaining information, services and reasonable accommodations.
Disciplinary Disclosure. Students are responsible for disclosing on their applications for admittance all criminal and disciplinary charges to the
Office of the Registrar. 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 it is determined to be in the best interest of the College. In addition, current
students and former students applying for readmission have a continuing responsibility to disclose to the Office of the Registrar any criminal or
disciplinary charges that occur after their initial admission to the College. Students must use the Disciplinary History Disclosure Form (found on
the Records webpage) for such disclosures and the form must be submitted as soon as possible after any criminal or disciplinary incident.
Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action or revocation of admission. Applicants or students have the right to appeal a decision to deny
admission to the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Discrimination. Students have the right to study and grow in an environment that is free from discrimination. SF is committed to maintaining an
educational and work environment free of discrimination with respect to race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, (including pregnancy,
gender identity, and sexual orientation), marital status, national origin, political opinions or affiliations, genetic information, and veteran status.
Santa Fe College prohibits discrimination in educational programs, services, and activities, and in employment programs, policies, and practices.
This commitment applies both on and off campus to employees, volunteers, students, and, to the extent possible, to third parties, applicants for
admission, applicants for employment, and the general public. Accordingly, Santa Fe College shall take all complaints seriously and will strive to
promptly and thoroughly investigate all complaints within 30 working days. As promptly as possible and within 90 College working days following
an alleged incident, a student who believes that he/she has been the subject of discrimination and who has not resolved the issue with the
alleged offending party must report any offenses to the College’s Equal Access/Equal Opportunity (EA/EO) Coordinator,
equity.officer@sfcollege.edu or 3000 NW 83rd Street, R-Annex, Room 105, Gainesville, Florida 32606 (352) 395-5420. Students are
responsible for cooperating during the course of discrimination investigations. It is a violation of this policy for any student or employee to
knowingly impede, obstruct, or delay the progress of any such investigation.
Drugs and Alcohol. Students have the right to learn in an environment free from drug and alcohol abuse. Santa Fe College recognizes that
substance abuse constitutes a serious threat to the health and well-being of its employees and students and significantly impedes the learning
process. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance or alcohol is prohibited in the
workplace, either on College property or as part of any College activity.
Educational Records. Students have the right to inspect and review educational records within 45 days after the College receives a
request for access. Written requests should be submitted to the College Registrar or Vice President for Student Affairs. Students have
the right to challenge the accuracy of educational records through informal hearings or formal proceedings which will be conducted in
compliance with, but not limited to, the provisions of FERPA and 34 CFR Part 99, and the rules of the State Board of Education.
Facilities. Students have the right to use certain Santa Fe College facilities in accordance with approved procedures when not in conflict with
scheduled College events, functions, or business. Student organizations may use classrooms, meeting rooms, or the campus concourses and
grounds for functions approved by the Director of Student Life.
Fee Deferment. Students have the right to receive fee deferments under certain circumstances. Payment of registration and tuition fees may be
deferred for any student who has qualified for financial assistance from federal or state sponsored financial aid programs when the College
Financial Aid Office has evidence that the financial aid funds have been delayed in being made available to a student through circumstances
beyond the control of that student. An eligible veteran or other person who presents a certificate of eligibility to receive educational benefits from
the Veterans Administration, or applies for such certification through the College, shall be granted, at his/her request, one 60-day deferment for
payment of registration fees. Charges for tuition, fees, books, and supplies may be deferred and held in accounts receivable for students for
which the College has received written authorization for payment from a business, industry, governmental unit, non-profit organization, or civic
organization provided that the Bursar, as the Board's designee, has approved such organization for underwriting such an obligation.
Fee Waivers. Students who are state employees or senior citizens have the right to use fee waivers for courses if they register on the last day of
drop/add for any term/session. Any registrations prior to this date will not be eligible for a fee waiver.
Financial Aid. Students have the right to apply for financial aid. The objective of financial aid at Santa Fe College is to enable students to attend
who would not otherwise have the financial resources to enroll and, therefore, to encourage a student population that is culturally, economically,
socially, and geographically diversified. Students have the right to be informed of: correct procedures to apply for aid; cost of attendance; aid
available; how financial need is determined; criteria for awarding aid; how academic progress is determined; requirements for continuing aid; the
type and amount of assistance; how much need has been met; how and when funds will be disbursed; appeal procedures; the contents in the
financial aid file; the conditions of accepted loans; and the job description and pay rate for any job held or for which one may apply. Students
seeking financial aid are responsible for completing applications correctly and on time; reading and understanding all materials sent from the
Financial Aid Office (FA) and other financial aid agencies or provided on the FA Web site; keeping copies of all submitted forms and materials;
knowing and complying with the rules governing aid; providing all documentation and information requested by FA; complying with the
provisions of any promissory note and all other agreements signed; registering for the number of hours required for aid disbursement;
maintaining satisfactory academic progress; notifying FA of all resources not listed on the award letter; using aid only for expenses related to
attending Santa Fe College; checking eSantaFe accounts often for updated financial aid info; and keeping email and mailing addresses up to
date with Santa Fe College, as well as the state aid and federal aid processors.
40 www.sfcollege.edu
Santa Fe College has partnered with Higher One, a company that specializes in student refund payment services, to provide students with free
direct deposit of Financial Aid checks from Santa Fe via the SF SmartCard. With the SF SmartCard, payments are delivered in the manner the
student chooses – Easy Refund to the student’s OneAccount, ACH transfer (direct deposit) to the student’s bank account, or via a check mailed
via US Mail (after 21 days) if no deposit selection is made. All Financial Aid awards are disbursed through Higher One Bank. SF students are
mailed a Higher One debit MasterCard to the current address on file with the College. The card arrives in a bright lime-green envelope from
Higher One and must be activated as soon as received. This card remains in effect for the duration of enrollment.
Students have the right to appeal financial aid decisions concerning awards, academic progress, and other matters relating to the administration
of financial assistance. A completed appeal form with supporting documentation must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid.
Financial Obligations. Students are responsible for paying all financial obligations and accounts owed to Santa Fe College when due.
Delinquent student accounts may lead to the cancellation or prevention of registration. Registration, graduation, granting of credit, or release of
transcripts may be withheld on any student who has an outstanding financial obligation to the college.
Firearms and Weapons. Students are responsible for knowing and obeying the College firearms and weapons policy on campus. No person,
other than a law enforcement officer or other person as authorized by Florida law or the College shall exhibit or possess any firearm outside of a
locked vehicle. Additionally only law enforcement officers or other person as authorized by Florida law or the College shall exhibit or possess an
electric weapon or device, destructive device, explosive, dangerous chemical, or other weapon, including a razor blade or box cutter, on College
premises. Students are responsible for reporting any sightings or information about the unlawful possession of a firearm, electric weapon or
device, destructive device, explosive, dangerous chemical, or other weapon on College premises to the appropriate College authorities,
including the President, the Provost, the Santa Fe College Chief of Police/designee, any College police officer, any Vice President, Associate
Vice President, or Assistant Vice President, or any director, chair, or coordinator.
Free Speech. Students are responsible for disseminating information on College premises in a way that is consistent with the educational
mission of the College, its orderly operation, cleanliness, aesthetics, and the safety of its students, faculty, and staff. Santa Fe College is
committed to the support of free speech within the appropriate context of time, place, and manner. Students are responsible for knowing and
obeying free speech laws. All entities involved in the dissemination of information on campus are subject to all city, state, and federal laws and
regulations that govern a person in the practice of his or her rights of expression, including those validly limiting the exercise of free speech.
Graduation. Students are responsible for knowing and fulfilling all graduation requirements as well as pre-professional requirements for the
selected program of study. In order to meet that goal, students are responsible for attending New Student Orientation to receive direction prior to
the first term of enrollment; meeting with an advisor on a regular basis about graduation requirements and understanding admission
requirements for advising tracks; reviewing the degree audit to ensure the remaining degree requirements are understood; seeking advisement
when in academic difficulty; maintaining personal academic records, including the catalog of the year of admission to Santa Fe, transcripts,
degree audits, evaluation of transfer work, and notes from previous advising sessions. Students have the right to petition to waive or substitute
graduation requirements. Petitions, signed by an academic advisor, must be presented to the Advisement Office. Students have the right to
graduate with honors. Graduation with honors is awarded to students who have earned a degree and have achieved a 3.5 grade point average
or above on all college work. Autograduation eliminates the requirement for students to apply for graduation during the semester for which they
are eligible to graduate. With autograduation, students who are eligible for graduation have the right to opt-out of graduating. If a student does
not opt out of graduating, then the student is automatically awarded the credential that they have earned.
Harassment. Students have the right to learn and work in an environment that is free from harassment. Santa Fe College will not tolerate any
form of harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and any other physical, verbal, or visual conduct of a
sexual nature; implied or overt threats of physical violence; assault upon another’s property; demeaning jokes, taunting slurs and derogatory
nicknames; or visual displays depicting slurs or derogatory language. This commitment applies both on and off campus to employees,
volunteers, students, and, to the extent possible, to third parties, applicants for admission, applicants for employment, and the general public.
Harassment is demeaning and degrading, may affect an individual’s self-esteem, and may have a negative impact on an individual’s
performance in class or work. Any person determined to have harassed another is subject to disciplinary sanctions up to and including discharge
or expulsion. As promptly as possible and within 90 College working days following an alleged incident, a student who believes that he/she has
been the subject of harassment and who has not resolved the issue with the alleged offending party must report any offenses to the College’s
Equal Access/Equal Opportunity (EA/EO) Coordinator at 3000 NW 83rd Street, R-Annex, Room 105 Gainesville, Florida 32606 352-395-5420
equity.officer@sfcollege.edu. Students are responsible for cooperating during the course of discrimination investigations. It is a violation of this
policy for any student or employee to knowingly impede, obstruct, or delay the progress of any such investigation.
Hazing. Students have the right to learn in an environment that is free from hazing. Hazing, in accordance with Florida Statute 1006.63, includes

Transfer Credit. Students have the right to transfer college credits from other institutions upon review and approval. The Records Office of
Santa Fe College provides students with transfer equivalency results. Received transcripts are evaluated and each student is given a record of
all transferred courses, a description of which transferred courses match those at SF and are valid substitutions, and a summary of graduation
requirements.
Transfer Policies. Students have the right to transfer credits from accelerated mechanisms to state universities. Credits earned through
acceleration mechanisms (e.g. College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate, and
Dual Enrollment courses) within the AA degree at the College will be transferable to the state university. Students have the right to automatically
transfer courses that are designated by the Statewide Course Numbering System. When transferring among institutions participating in the
Statewide Course Numbering System, a receiving institution must accept all courses taken at the transfer institution if the same course with the
same course number is offered at the receiving institution. Students have the right to transfer a completed general education core. Once a
student has completed the General Education Core and this is so noted on the transcript, regardless of whether or not an A.A. degree is
awarded, no other state university or community college to which the student may transfer can require additional courses to the general
education core.
Tuition Payment Plan. Students have the right to use the Tuition Payment Plan to pay college tuition and fees. The Tuition Payment Plan
breaks down the tuition balance into smaller monthly payments. While there is no interest charged with the Tuition Payment Plan, students who
use this option are responsible for paying setup fees. To use the Tuition Payment, students may click on View and Pay Fees in eSantaFe.
Withdrawal. Students have the right to officially withdraw from one course or from the College prior to the late withdrawal deadline. Students are
responsible for completing a Santa Fe College withdrawal form to avoid receiving a failing grade for a course that is no longer being attended.
Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive a W may do so via eSantaFe or in the Office of Records up until the official withdrawal
date each term/session. The deadline to withdraw from classes is published in every SF class schedule and is located on the registration dates
webpage. A student may have only three attempts per course including original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. As a result of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, (as amended), a student who completely withdraws may be required to repay a percentage of Title IV Federal Financial
Aid funds received. College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full for course work dropped during the drop/add period or
canceled by the college. However, the federal refund/repayment policy supersedes the college refund policy for students receiving financial aid
and completely withdrawing from the college. Students have the right to petition to adjust records regarding late withdrawal. The college petitions
committee shall meet weekly and have responsibility for reviewing and making decisions on student petitions. A petition form may be secured
from the Office of the Registrar or online, and must be submitted, with all appropriate documentation, at least five business days prior to the
committee's scheduled weekly meeting.

Mission
The Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides the curricula whereby Santa Fe College students satisfy general education requirements and
obtain the prerequisite courses required for transfer to upper-division university programs. This division furthers the college’s mission by providing a
strong liberal arts education leading to the Associate of Arts degree; preparing students with diverse backgrounds and goals for careers, further
academic study and lifelong learning; creating intellectual independence by teaching creative thinking, critical reasoning and problem-solving skills;
building an awareness of self, diverse opinions and cultures, and one’s responsibility within the global community; promoting the attainment of a
balanced core of knowledge drawn from various discipline areas; and providing a personalized, supportive learning environment that challenges
students to achieve high levels of academic performance.
Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree
The college offers the Associate of Arts degree to students wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate program within the Florida College or Florida
State University systems upon completing an Associate’s degree.
In keeping with the Florida statewide articulation agreement, each institution granting the Associate of Arts degree sets its own general
education requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours required for the degree. By law, the articulation agreement provides that every
Associate of Arts graduate of a Florida college be granted admission to the upper division of a state university, except to a limited access or teacher
certification program or a major program requiring an audition. Students earning the Associate of Arts degree and transferring to one of Florida’s
public universities will not be required by the university to take additional general education courses.
Although the Associate of Arts degree does not require the choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised early in their
academic careers to be aware of the upper-division requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be able to choose courses within
45 www.sfcollege.edu
the required general education core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In addition, the Associate of Arts degree requires 24
hours of electives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs of each student upon transfer to the 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 institutions 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 program in a Florida public state institution annually publishes counseling manuals for every
major offered at that institution.
Because of the complicated prerequisites and other requirements associated with fine arts programs, students pursuing an A.A. degree in a fine
arts area should consult with the discipline coordinators of their program for proper academic advisement: Dance, Tari Kendall, 395-5916;
Music/Vocal, Lynn Sandefur, 381-3639; Music/Instrumental, Sheila Forrester, 381-3862, ext. 6317; Theatre, Terry Klenk, 395-5092; Technical
Theatre, Owen Reynolds, 395-5985; Visual Arts, Matthew Newell, 395-5810.
Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree
• • • • • • Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the general education program.
Complete at least 60 semester hours of credit in a prescribed course of study with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
Demonstrate competency in a foreign language.
Select courses from those with an assigned ID code of P (Parallel). Courses designated O (Occupational) are not guaranteed for
acceptance by upper-division institutions and cannot be used as elective credit in the A.A. degree.
Meet Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon Rule). Courses marked with an asterisk (*) will meet a portion of this rule.
Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the college.
General Education
The purpose of general education at Santa Fe College is to foster a disciplined curiosity that leads to empowerment of the student as an intentional
learner and to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. By exploring many aspects of the traditional arts and sciences, students will learn about the
human imagination and the products of cultural history and expression, the interrelationships within and among social and global communities,
models that help to understand the patterns and behaviors of the natural world and social structures, and the values essential to local or global civic
engagement. Specifically, students will encounter these ideas through courses in the sciences, mathematics, communications, the social sciences,
the arts and humanities.
While exploring these disciplines, students will also develop the college-level skills in communication, critical thinking, information literacy,
scientific and quantitative reasoning, and global responsibility necessary for lifelong learning. In this way, the College seeks not only to instill
knowledge, but also to integrate skills and knowledge within the context of cultural and professional competencies.
By design, this practical liberal education is highly concentrated within the core of required arts and sciences courses. However, the
knowledge and skills from these courses are reinforced in many areas of the curriculum, including elective courses, vocational courses and a
variety of capstone learning experiences that interrelate principle and application.

College may specify conditions or requirements for the documentation of such competency in less commonly taught languages.
Currently, Santa Fe College offers classes in American Sign Language, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish and may offer other languages as
well. Through an agreement between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida, SF students may also be able to register for foreign
languages not offered at Santa Fe on a space available basis. For more information about languages offered at UF, please contact the Department
of Humanities and Foreign Languages, Building P, room 152, or call 352-395-5075.
Gordon Rule Writing Courses
The purpose of the Writing-Intensive requirement at Santa Fe College is to assist students refine their college-level writing skills. College-level
writing exhibits critical and analytical skills in discussing a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed, organized, coherent, and
unified; expresses ideas in complete, clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through discipline-appropriate diction, conventions,
and rhetorical strategies.
A Writing-Intensive Course has as major instructional, learning and assessment objectives, a substantial discipline-based writing
component This requires multiple opportunities for students to (1) demonstrate disciplined-based writing competency (2) receive
appropriate feedback and (3) to incorporate that feedback into assignments within the same course and semester. Note that any
work submitted too late in the semester for the instructor comments to be available to the students cannot be used to meet the
writing-intensive requirement. While no specific word-count is required writing must be a central component of the course.
Individual LAS Departments will be responsible for identifying appropriate types of “disciplined-based writing” assignments and providing any
additional guidelines for writing intensive courses in the discipline. However some assignments are unlikely to be suitable for these purposes.
For example, teamwork or writing done by a group or team and class notes are unlikely to satisfy the requirement.
In a Writing-Intensive Course, writing assignments must count at least a significant part of the final course grade. The majority of writing
assignments is assessed by faculty towards refining college level writing skills. Instructors must evaluate written work on its content and
content development (i.e., effectiveness, organization, clarity, and coherence of the writing). General comments about syntax, mechanics, and
usage of standard written English should also be provided, including if necessary, reference to the Writing Lab or other relevant available
resources. Instructors must provide feedback to the student on the written work submitted. Rubrics are available for faculty use in providing
feedback.
47 www.sfcollege.edu
In order to receive credit for a writing intensive course, students must satisfactorily complete the writing portion of a Writing-Intensive Course,
and receive an overall grade of C or higher. If a student does not receive a C AND satisfactorily complete the writing portion of the course, a
course grade of D or below will be assigned. A grade of D or D+ will allow the course to count as an elective, but neither Writing Intensive nor
General Education credit will be given.
Research and Analysis
Students in a Research and Analysis Course will develop a substantial discipline-based research project. Individual LAS Departments will be
responsible for identifying appropriate types of “substantial disciplined-based research projects.” Research & Analysis courses will be writing
intensive as described by the current definition of “writing intensive”
As the General Education Learning Outcome for Research and Analysis Courses is Information Literacy, instructors must assess the student’s
“ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly use and share that
information for the problem at hand.” (AAC&U Information Literacy Value Rubric).
Required General Education Core Courses for the Associate of Arts Degree
Students pursuing a degree should be aware of the prerequisite courses of their intended transfer major when selecting general
education and elective courses.
Note: * Writing Intensive courses require a grade of “C” or higher. A total of 12 hours are required in the Gen Ed package: six hours in
Communications, and six hours from other categories of the Gen Ed program as per state rule 6A-10.030.

Educator Preparation Institute
Director Dr. Tyran Butler
Program Advisor Leslie Mojeiko B-217, 352-395-5322
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 classroom situation and pass on
the skills they have learned.
More educators are needed to offset the state’s projected teacher shortage. Santa Fe’s EPI seeks people who are qualified to teach in
high-need subject areas like reading, mathematics and science. The program also seeks minorities underrepresented in the teaching
profession. For more information, visit www.sfcollege.edu/epi.

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

Applied Welding Technologies - Certificate 7623
83 www.sfcollege.edu
Welding plays a vital role in American industry. Some method of welding is utilized in over 50 percent of the products that make up the gross
national product of the United States. Skilled pipe welders are among the highest paid craftspeople in the world.
Santa Fe College offers a 1 ½ year, 1,170-contact hour program that consists of shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding (often
called MIG), flux core arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding (often called TIG or Heliarc), gas welding, brazing and cutting, blueprint reading
and power tool and equipment operation. The training helps prepare a student to pass nationally recognized welding certification tests.
Students in the Applied Welding Program must take one American Welding Society (AWS) Certification test (during PMT 0131) as a
requirement for graduation. The test will be administered and evaluated by an AWS/CWI (AWS Certified Welding Inspector) at Santa Fe's
accredited test facility. Successful completion of the test would allow a student to carry the title of “certified welder.”
Scholarships will be awarded annually to provide financial assistance to eligible graduating high school seniors from Alachua and Bradford
counties who attend Santa Fe College. Call 352-395-5362 for more details on scholarships.

Apprenticeship Programs
“Earn while you learn” is the philosophy of Santa Fe’s Apprenticeship Program. The construction industry needs electricians, carpenters,
plumbers, and A/C and heating technicians. Because of this demand, worlds of opportunity open to those who learn a valuable trade through
one of these apprenticeships. Expect to earn a good salary while working up to the level of journeyperson.
Apprenticeships provide the individual who is working in the field an opportunity to learn the technical aspects of a trade in the classroom
while applying this knowledge on the job. The combination of these two aspects prepares the apprentice to advance through the trade at an
accelerated rate. Apprentices earn a guaranteed wage throughout the training with incremental raises at various stages in the program.
Students attend class two nights a week during the fall and spring terms. The length of most of the programs is four years with the exception
of carpentry, which is two years. Classroom activities in conjunction with on-the-job training prepare the students to perform as tradespersons
upon completion. Students not currently employed in the field will be helped in seeking employment with sponsoring contractors. The program
is sponsored by the Builders Association of North Central Florida. For more information, call Justin MacDougall at 352-395-5251 or email
justin.a.macdougall@sfcollege.edu.

Cardiovascular Technology
Director Sharon Whitcraft
Faculty M. Chadek, E. Hushelpeck, L. Decubellis
Cardiovascular Technology is a medical specialty dealing with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from some of the most
serious health problems in the United States today—stroke, heart, and vascular disease.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is five semesters of classroom, laboratory and clinical instruction. The final two semesters are
spent in clinical specialization rotations in cardiovascular laboratories. Students who complete the program are awarded an Associate of
Science degree in Cardiovascular Technology. Excellent career opportunities await graduates.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is one of the oldest and most established programs of its type in the United States. It is accredited
by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology and the Florida Department of Health. Program instruction is
consistent with curriculum frameworks as administered by the Florida Department of Education. Graduates are eligible to take national
certification examinations.
The Cardiovascular Technology Program consists of three specialty areas:
Invasive Cardiology
Working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the technologist works alongside the physician performing invasive diagnostic exams.
Additionally the technologists assist the physician with interventional procedures, such as angioplasty, stent deployment, pacemaker
implantation and other advanced procedures designed to alleviate cardiac anomalies.
Cardiac Ultrasound
In the non-invasive cardiology laboratory, the technologist works independently to use ultrasound technology to create diagnostic images of
the heart. The cardiac ultrasound or echocardiogram can identify anatomical structures, both normal and abnormal, and display cardiac
function. Associated tests include exercise stress testing and transesophageal echocardiography.
Peripheral Vascular Studies
The technologist performs diagnostic studies using ultrasound imaging, Doppler sonography, spectral analysis and a variety of physiologic
testing procedures to image and evaluate blood flow in the veins and arteries throughout the body. These diagnostic modalities are
particularly useful in evaluating patients who are at risk for strokes and peripheral vascular diseases. Recent advancements in vascular
technology include transcranial Doppler and dialysis access evaluation.

Respiratory Care
Program Director Sharon Whitcraft, Interim
Clinical Coordinator Leah Carlson
Respiratory Care – Associate of Science 3310
Respiratory care is a specialty that is instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and preventive care of patients with
cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may suffer from a variety of acute and chronic respiratory conditions which may be life threatening
or disabling, such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema, emphysema, congenital defects, drowning, hemorrhage, shock and trauma.
Through proper respiratory care and management, many patients who might not have survived can now return to active lives.
The respiratory therapist is a life-support specialist. During emergency calls, which often are life or death situations, respiratory therapists
are responsible for life support of the patient through airway management, artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage and additional
sophisticated emergency support measures. Respiratory therapists manage mechanical ventilators (machines that can provide all of the
breathing for patients who can’t breathe on their own). Respiratory therapists must be proficient in many areas, including the administration of
oxygen and therapeutic aerosols, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway
management, pulmonary function studies, blood gas retrieval and analysis and physiologic monitoring.
The Respiratory care Program at Santa Fe College (#200215) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care
(www.coarc.org) to award an Associate of Science Degree in Respiratory Care at its Northwest Campus.
Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care 1248 Harwood Road Bedford TX, 76021-4244, (817) 283-2835.
The program prepares its graduates to take virtually all of the credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory
Care, and also provides a sound technical and theoretical base from which the student can have the educational advantage of lateral and
upward mobility. An advanced standing policy is available for those applicants and students with previous respiratory therapy experience
and/or education.

Surgical Technology
Program Director Sharon Whitcraft, Interim
Program Coordinator Diane May
Surgical Technology - Certificate 7338
The certified surgical technologist (CST) is a key member of the surgical team who anticipates the needs of the surgeon and passes
instruments, sutures, and sponges in an efficient manner during surgery. Under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST may be involved in
holding retractors or instruments, sponging or suctioning the operative site, or cutting suture material.
The surgical technologist must perform under pressure in stressful and emergency situations; have a strong sense of responsibility,
considerable patience, manual dexterity, and physical stamina. CSTs ensure that the operating room environment is safe, that equipment
functions properly, and that the operative procedure is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize patient safety. With additional
specialized training or education, a CST may act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in exposure of the wound, suturing and other
technical functions.
Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile member of the surgical team, other job opportunities include work in
delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambulatory care centers. There are also jobs in medical sales, product development, and
management roles in surgical services and research. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons as “private scrubs” and/or surgical
first assistants. They have served in the Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the military. A number of them are instructors and directors
of surgical technology programs.
The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review Committee on Surgical Technology Education. Graduates are qualified
to take the NBSTSA National Certification Examination. Achieving the CST credential is crucial for professional recognition and advancement.

Emergency Medical Services Programs
The Emergency Medical Services Programs (EMS) at Santa Fe College consist of a First Responder course, Emergency Medical Responder,
the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Certificate Program, the Paramedic Certificate Program, and the Emergency Medical Services A.S.
degree. These programs prepare EMS professionals to deliver patient care at the scene of an emergency or while working in an ambulance,
with a fire rescue agency, in a hospital emergency department, in the military, with a law enforcement agency, and in many other areas of
health care.
The A.S. degree in EMS is also applicable for people who are currently employed in these fields and who want to improve their knowledge,
skills, and abilities for career development. Students must demonstrate competency in reading, writing, oral communication and fundamental
mathematical and computer skills. The program advisor will provide details when the student enters the degree track.
The EMT is a professional who delivers basic life support care. The EMT certificate is a one-semester college credit program consisting of
classroom, lab, hospital emergency department, and ambulance clinical components. Although this is considered a part-time program, at least
25 hours per week and a flexible schedule are required. Upon successful completion of all components of the EMT program, the student may
be eligible to take the National Registry and/or the State of Florida EMT Certification Examination.
The Paramedic Program is a one-year college credit certificate program, which is three semesters, 43-credit hours (minimum of 1,100 clock
hours in length). The student will learn advanced life support patient care and procedures. The program consists of classroom, lab, hospital
116 www.sfcollege.edu
clinical and ambulance clinical components. This program, like EMT, requires a strong desire and commitment to the profession. Upon
successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, the student may be eligible to take the National Registry and/or the State
of Florida Paramedic Certification Examination. Santa Fe College’s Paramedic Program is nationally accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency
Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).
Admission Requirements
Emergency Medical Services programs have limited class sizes to enhance learning and practical exercise opportunities for our students.
An additional application process is in place to ensure our classes are optimally attended to provide our students the best opportunity for success in
this program. Please review our website at sfcollege.edu/centers/kirkpatrick/ems/ to review the eligibility requirements and application deadlines for
entry into this program.

Note: Emergency Vehicle Operator’s Course (EMS1335) is not a requirement to graduate from the Emergency Medical Services A.S. program.
However, EMS1335 is a requirement for employment as an emergency medical technician for most fire rescue and ambulance agencies
in Florida.
Students who have completed EMT and paramedic course work from a Joint Review Committee (JRC) accredited paramedic program, a
CoAEMSP accredited program, and who have current certification may receive credit for the professional core requirements.
Students must achieve a grade of C or higher in all courses leading to the Associate of Science degree in Emergency Medical Services.
Additional information for students wishing to transfer to the University of Florida: All applicants must have completed two sequential
courses of foreign languages in secondary school or between 8 and 10 semester hours at the post-secondary level, or document an equivalent
level of proficiency.
Students must achieve a passing score on the College Level Academic Skills Test after completion of all of their General Education
requirements.
Paramedic Program
The Paramedic Program is a college credit certificate program, which is three semesters, 43-credit hours (minimum of 1100 clock hours) in
length (one year). Current Florida certification as an emergency medical technician is required prior to applying for entry into the Paramedic
Program. The Program typically begins in January and August of each year and requires a special application and acceptance process.
Paramedics utilize advanced medical skills combined with the skills learned in EMT to render care in a variety of situations and settings. A
paramedic is a member of the health care team that provides advanced life support to save lives jeopardized by trauma, cardiac events or
other illnesses. Paramedics often make critical patient care decisions in situations where seconds and minutes can mean the difference
between life and death. Paramedics often are called upon to intervene in situations requiring the ability to reason, rapidly make decisions,
defuse anxiety, lead groups of people, and function under tremendous stress. It is essential for an EMT entering the Paramedic Program to
have a strong foundation of basic skills upon which to build.
Santa Fe College’s Paramedic Program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee for the Accreditation of EMT-Paramedic
Programs, the Commission on Accreditation of AlliedHealth Education Programs (CAAHEP), and the Committee on Accreditation of
Emergency Medical Services Programs (CoAEMSP)
Upon successful completion of all components of the Paramedic Program, students may be eligible to take the State of Florida Paramedic
Certification and/or the National Registry Examination.
Prerequisites to the program are: current Florida EMT Certification, Anatomy and Physiology* course (as either BSC2084/L OR
BSC2085/L and 2086/L), and American Heart Association health care provider CPR, or its equivalent.
*Students anticipating transfer to a four-year baccalaureate institution should take the two-semester Anatomy/Physiology sequence
(BSC2085/L and BSC2086/L).

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Sciences adheres to the State of Florida common course prerequisites and
curriculum frameworks. All BAS degree seeking students are required to complete the same basic requirements as traditional
baccalaureate students, including 36 hours of General Education, and demonstration of foreign language competence. The entrance
requirements for this program require students choose specific courses in biological sciences (16 credit hours), chemistry (16 credit
hours), and mathematics within their lower division coursework to finish the degree in an appropriate timeframe. Therefore, students are
strongly advised to consult with an advisor as early as possible to plan their progress through this degree program.
Baccalaureate students will enroll in courses full-time and will complete a clinical internship in the five specialty license areas in their final
year at affiliated laboratories. Part time students will be allowed to take courses if space is available. The clinical affiliate internships will
only be offered on a full time basis after completion of all didactic coursework and serve as an evaluation point at which the students
must demonstrate mastery of the program's learning outcomes. To ensure equity across sites, the SF Clinical Director works closely with
all affiliate institutions to ensure that students gain proficiency in the skills needed to enter the Clinical Laboratory workforce.
If starting as a freshman, the suggested course sequence for this program schedules a full load of classes each semester including
summers over four years for a total of 125 semester credit hours. If starting as a junior with the required prerequisites, the suggested
sequence of courses takes two years including summers to complete. Students from other colleges and universities requesting to enter the
upper division portion of the program must document comparable prerequisite course work before admission to the program.
Upon completion of all program requirements, students will graduate with a Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
accredited Bachelor of Applied Sciences degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Note: This degree is not contingent on passing any
external exams or licensures. Graduates are then eligible for certification as a medical technologist by the American Association of

CJK0001 V INTRODUCTION TO LAW ENFORCEMENT (0.3)
Law enforcement officers have the authority to enforce laws and maintain civil order. This responsibility
must never be taken lightly. Officers must always act within the boundaries of their authority and uphold the
182 www.sfcollege.edu
recognized standards of their profession’s code of ethics. This chapter provides an overview of the law
enforcement training program and the requirements for students to become sworn officers; gives students
instruction on basic criminal justice values and ethics; defines sexual harassment and ways to avoid
compromising interactions with other officers and the public; and emphasizes the command structure within

This course is the Human Issues section of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice
Standards and Training Commission new basic law enforcement recruit training program. CMS BRT
program, version 2008. This is course 4.
CJK0012 V LEGAL (2.1)
Law enforcement officers’ duties include a variety of responsibilities, such as answering citizen calls,
patrolling, determining violations of law, making arrests, using force, and conducting investigations. All of
these require a foundational knowledge of the law and the ability to apply that law to specific incidents. To
act properly and effectively as law enforcement officers, without infringing on individual rights, students
must have an understanding of federal, state, and local laws. You should also become familiar with case
law and how it interprets and further explains enacted laws. This chapter will provide a solid legal
foundation from which students may function as law enforcement officers.
CJK0013 V INTERACTIONS IN A DIVERSE COMMUNITY (1.3)
Law enforcement officers perform their duties effectively by interacting with the diverse members of their
communities. In any communication with another person, there are three main components: the sender, the
message, and the receiver. It is imperative that officers in the field are capable of adapting their
communication styles to meet the needs of the people they are interacting with, eliminating potential
miscommunications that may jeopardize an officer’s effectiveness or safety.
CJK0014 V INTERVIEWING AND REPORT WRITING (1.9)
This chapter covers note taking, interviewing, and report writing principles and mechanics. These are
critical tasks that law enforcement officers must perform every day. During any investigation, the most
important thing an officer can find is the truth. Lawful and effective interviews can lead an officer directly to
the truth; therefore, it is crucial to justice that officers develop effective interviewing techniques and note
taking skills. In addition, officers must develop effective report writing skills. A poorly written report that
contains inadequate or inaccurate information can discredit the best of investigations and demean the
writer’s competence and professionalism. The terms incident report and report will be used interchangeably
throughout this chapter.

CMS LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLE OPERATIONS (1.6)
183 www.sfcollege.edu
The operation of a motor vehicle in a law enforcement setting is a dynamic and challenging task. The ability
to drive in emergency mode, communicate with dispatch, and remain aware of the actions of other drivers
presents complexities not experienced in normal driving. This course is designed to help officers
understand a vehicle's limits as well as their personal limits. An officer's awareness of the effects of
physiological and psychological stressors on his or her driving is critical. It is also important that officers
understand how the public views them as drivers. This course will help officers to develop the skills
required to operate a motor vehicle safely.
CJK0031C V CMS FIRST AID CRIMINAL JUSTICE OFFICERS (1.3)
As the first person on the scene of an emergency, you have a special role. You can make a difference in a
life-threatening situation. By appropriately applying your knowledge, skills, and abilities, you can stabilize
patients and possibly prevent the deterioration of their conditions until EMS arrives. Your ability to assist
with emergency medical situations and your ability to remember legal guidelines are important skills, as are
your sound judgment and good common sense. When called to respond to an emergency, be aware of
your attitude, appearance, and behavior at all times. As a criminal justice officer, convey the message that
you are competent and trustworthy. A professional and confident manner will reassure and comfort the
patient, family, and bystanders in times of panic or chaos.
CJK0040C V CMS CRIMINAL JUSTICE FIREARMS (2.7)
Officers face many dangers as part of their jobs. Yet, danger can come fromthe most unexpected place,
such as an officer's own firearm. Failure to cautiously and consistently follow rules of firearm handling can
result in injury or death. Every officer must acquire proper training on the specific model of firearm he or
she will carry and use before touching, handling, or loading any firearm.
CJK0051C V CMS CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEFENSIVE TACTICS (2.7)
The public often focuses its attention on the daily work of criminal justice officers and their methods for
controlling subject resistance when there is a question of the officer's use of force. Whether meeting
resistance on the street or in a correctional facility, officers must be prepared to respond appropriately to
control a situation where the officer and the safety of the public are in danger. The defensive tactics
curriculum offers criminal justice basic recruits effective, tactically sound, and legally defensible training in
defensive tactics and control techniques. This course teaches recruits to select and properly execute
techniques that are reasonable and necessary given the circumstances and factors of a situation.

CJK0065 V CALLS FOR SERVICE (1.2)
Most law enforcement officers spend the majority of their time patrolling an assigned area. While patrolling,
officers will respond to a variety of calls for service, which will vary between noncriminal and criminal
incidents. A noncriminal call for service may range from a request for information to performing a security
check of a structure. Criminal calls for service are any incidents involving an alleged violation of criminal
law. This chapter provides an overview of the more common calls for service that an officermay encounter.
Officers must maintain professionalism and situational awar eness at all times when responding to any call
for service.

Justice Standards and Training Commission new basic law enforcement recruit training program. CMS
BRT program, version 2008. This is course 8.
CJK0077 V CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS (1.6)
An officer’s role has grown beyond the traditional law enforcement duties to fulfilling the ever-changing
needs of the community. It is a common occurrence to hear someone state that officers are “a jack of all
trades.” Officers perform their duties and withstand intense scrutiny from the media, professional standard
review boards, and the court of public opinion. Of all the tasks assigned to a law enforcement officer, none
is more important than conducting an impartial investigation to bring a suspect to justice. This is the main
reason officers have earned the public’s trust over years of service. The quality of an investigation will
undergo scrutiny beginning with the supervisor’s review of the initial report and ending with the appeal
process. Officers must conduct each investigation with attention to accuracy, detail, and professionalism.
Officers will establish a reputation in court and in public based upon the quality of their work.
CJK0078C V CRIME SCENE TO COURTROOM (1.2)
Upon arriving at an incident or crime scene, an officer will take a sequence of steps to protect all parties:
gather information; identify, separate, and interview subjects; and complete the initial investigation
successfully. The single most significant part of the initial stage of a criminal investigation is the processing
of the crime scene. Identify types of evidence that might be present at a scene, based on an evaluation of
the incident or type of crime. Know when and how to get help in searching the scene. The first priority is to
secure, protect, and preserve the scene to avoid contaminating the evidence. The second priority must be
to search for, identify, document, collect, and maintain the physical evidence, or the prosecution ofthe
suspect may be in jeopardy. Victims and witnesses must be located, ide ntified, and separated to obtain
detailed information about what happened. Identify and arrest the offender if he or she is on the scene. If
the offender has fled, initiate a Be On the Look Out (BOLO). Often, law enforcementofficers think that the
arrest is the end of their participation in a crim inal case; however, an arrest is only a suspect?s entrance
into the criminal justice system. Officers remain an integral part of the prosecution process until the case is
resolved through entry of a plea, a conviction, or an acquittal after trial.
CJK0084 V DUI TRAFFIC STOPS (0.8)
Law enforcement officers make numerous traffic stops daily. All too often, drivers are impaired by the use
of alcohol or drugs, making them a hazard to themselves and other motorists. This chapter will train officers
to detect impaired driving, administer field sobriety tests, make arrests when appropriate, and record the
evidence of a DUI offense.

CJK0087 V TRAFFIC STOPS (1)
An officer’s primary responsibility in making traffic stops is to encourage voluntary compliance with traffic
laws and improve driver judgment and future behavior. The end results of traffic stops should be driver
education and safer roads.
CJK0088C V TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATIONS (1.1)
Law enforcement officers conduct traffic crash investigations by following a step-by-step approach that
encompasses the initial response to the scene, scene assessment and protection, the identification and
analysis of information gathered from witnesses, the thorough investigation of the crash, the evaluation of
physical evidence collected, returning the crash scene to normal, taking appropriate enforcement action,
and documenting the crash.
CJK0092 V CRITICAL INCIDENTS (1.4)
Officers must be prepared to address many situations in the course of patrolling their assigned areas. This
chapter provides an overview of law enforcement techniques and tactics employed in confronting large
scale or critical incidents. One of the techniques used to maintain organization and complete response
objectives is the Incident Command System (ICS). ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards approach
to incident management that integrates the operation of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and
communications under a common organizational structure. There are many types of large-scale situations
that an officer may encounter in relation to critical incidents. These include active shooters, natural
disasters, hazardous materials exposure, explosive devices, and weapons of mass destruction.

component will be recorded separately and retained as part of your training record.
CJK0200 V OVERVIEW OF CORRECTIONS (0.5)
Like a judge is to the court and police officers are to the streets, correctional officers are the most important
members of the correctional system. Correctional Officers are responsible for their own safety and that of
others. An officer's personal perspective, based on his or her culture, heritage, values, and ethics, affects
his or her decisions that, in turn, impact the well-being of others. This training program will expose students
to the most critical features of being a correctional officer in a Florida jail or state correctional institution.
CJK0205 V LAW ENFORECEMENT CROSS-OVER TO CORRECTION RESPONDING TO
INCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES (0.4)
One of the most important duties of a correctional officer is to apply knowledge, training, and reasonable
judgment during an emergency. An officer's first priority is the safety and security of all individuals. Any
incident can develop into an emergency; the officer is expected to be effective in the use of equipment,
crime scene control, chain of custody procedures, and documentation of involvement. The officer should be
aware of agency policies, procedures, and emergency plans, as well as post orders, which are job-specific
documents that outline how to handle daily responsibilities and operations.
