open, caring, inclusive environment which encourages individual and community development

and conserving our resources for future generations.
Major Directions:
To provide accessible, affordable, high quality learning opportunities
which meet students’ lifelong learning needs.

History
Central Florida Junior College was established
in 1957 when community leaders and citizens
envisioned an educational resource that would help
Marion, Citrus and Levy counties to grow and
prosper. With foresight and determination those
community leaders planted the seed that has
become the educational hub of the tri-county area.
In 1958, Hampton Junior College opened as
one of the first black, two-year colleges in the
state, and in 1966 the colleges merged. The name
was changed to Central Florida Community
College in 1971 to reflect more accurately the
character and purpose of the college serving a
larger community.
The Ocala Campus was established on a
60-acre tract donated by Atlantic Realty and
Investment Company and the city of Ocala and
over time has grown to include 140 acres. The
attractive campus is at a crossroads of the
growing community, between downtown Ocala
and Interstate 75 on State Road 200. The campus
has been recognized by Marion County for its
beautiful grounds.
In 1982, the Bronson Center opened on a 20-acre
site east of Bronson. In 1993, the campus was
relocated to the Levy Center in Chiefland, where
services and enrollment continue to climb.
The college also offered classes in Citrus County
for many years before partnering with the Citrus
County School Board to establish an educational
complex in Lecanto in 1984. To accommodate a
growing need, a free-standing campus opened in
1996 on 88 acres in Lecanto. Ten acres have been
added to the Citrus Campus, which continues to
expand credit and noncredit course offerings.
CFCC’s Hampton Center opened in 1996 on
the site of the former Florida State Fire College in
west Ocala. The facility was completely rebuilt and
reopened in 2004. The Hampton Center is an
important presence in the west Ocala area,
offering health occupations courses and community
outreach programs.
The college maintained a partnership interest
in the Appleton Museum of Art of Central Florida
Community College for more than a decade
before accepting full responsibility for operations in
2004. The museum has become even more of a
teaching and learning institution, offering classes
and tours, and helping to serve the cultural needs
of the community.
In the last decade, the college has renovated
several key buildings and added others that have
changed the face of the Ocala Campus. The
University Center, Ewers Century Center and
Webber Center Gallery serve students and the
community. Renovations to the C. Farris Bryant
Student Union and the Fine Arts Auditorium have
provided state-of-the-art technology and studentfriendly facilities. The oldest building on campus is
slated for renovations, just in time for the college’s
50th anniversary, and will be renamed Founders’
Hall in 2007.

Hinson, Jr., was interim president from February 18
to November 9, 1996. Dr. William J. Campion held
the presidency from March 1, 1987, until February
16, 1996, succeeding Dr. Henry E. Goodlett, who in
January of 1966 replaced Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce,
appointed in May of 1960. The District Board of
Trustees named Dr. Goodlett President Emeritus
upon his retirement.
Charles H. Hamblen, Jr., served as acting
president between the resignation of Dr. Kenneth
R. Williams in early 1960 and the appointment
of Dr. Fordyce. Dr. Williams had assumed his
duties on January 1, 1958, soon after the Florida
Legislature established the college.
College operations are governed by the Central
Florida Community College District Board of

admission process. Most degree programs at CFCC
require an earned high school diploma, a completed
home school affidavit (1003.21) or GED. Some postsecondary certificate programs do not require a high
school diploma. A candidate for admission is assured
that the application will be reviewed and evaluated
in a fair and impartial manner. No applicant will be
refused admission on the basis of race, age, ethnic
background, religious preference, disability, or gender.
In order to maintain the college ideals of scholarship and demeanor, the right is reserved to deny
admission to applicants for any reason which is
deemed to be in the best interest of the college.
After admission, subsequent registration for
currently enrolled and former students is permitted
when all college obligations have been satisfied.
When limited facilities or programs restrict the
size of enrollment, admission to the college will be
granted in the order in which applications have been
received by the Office of Admissions and Records.
Exceptions to this rule, e.g. Associate in Science
Degree Nursing (ADN) and certain occupational
programs, are listed elsewhere in this catalog.
Guidelines for eligibility into various programs are
found within program descriptions in the catalog.
Additional admission information may be obtained
from the Office of Admissions and Records.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
Florida Resident Information and Requirements
All applicants for admission to Central Florida
Community College, degree-seeking or non-degreeseeking, full-time or part-time, are required to
execute a Statement of Residence if they claim
in-state residence. If the applicant is under 24 years
of age and unmarried, the statement also must be
signed by a parent or legal guardian. These
guidelines implement Sections 1009.21, Florida
Statutes, and Rule 6A-10.044, Florida Administrative
Code, for the purpose of determining residency
18
status for tuition purposes in public community
colleges and universities.
A Florida “resident for tuition purposes” is a person
who has, or a dependent person whose parent or
legal guardian of five years has, established and
maintained legal residence in Florida for at least 12
months immediately prior to the first day of classes
for the term in which residency status is sought.
Anyone not establishing residency by this date
must apply for reclassification in a following term.
Residence in Florida must be a bona fide domiciliary
rather than for the purpose of maintaining a residence
incidental to enrollment at an institution of higher
education. Other persons not meeting the 12-month
legal residence requirement may be classified as
Florida “residents for tuition purposes” only if they
fall within one of the limited special categories
authorized by the Florida Legislature. All other
persons are ineligible for classification as a Florida
“resident for tuition purposes.” To qualify as a Florida
“resident for tuition purposes,” it is necessary to be
a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident alien or a legal
alien granted indefinite stay by the Department of
Homeland Security. Living in or attending school in
Florida will not, in itself, establish legal residence.
Students who depend on out-of-state parents for
support are presumed to be legal residents of the
same state as their parents. Residence in Florida
must be for the purpose of establishing a permanent
home and not merely incidental to enrollment at
an institution of higher education. Documents
supporting the establishment of legal residence
must be dated, issued or filed 12 months immediately prior to the first day of classes of the term for
which a Florida resident classification is sought.
A copy of the most recent tax return or other
documentation may be requested to establish
dependence/independence. A dependent is defined
as a person for whom 50 percent or more of his or
her support is provided by another as defined by
the Internal Revenue Service. An independent is
defined as a person who provides more than 50
percent of his or her own support as defined by the
Internal Revenue Service.
Establishing Residency
A Florida “resident for tuition purposes” must
qualify in one of the following categories:
1. A person, or if that person is a dependent
child, his or her parents, must have
established legal residence in Florida and
must have maintained legal residence in
Florida for at least 12 months immediately
prior to the first day of classes of the term for
which a Florida resident classification is
sought. Anyone not establishing residency by
this date must apply for reclassification the
following term.
8. Full-time instructional and administrative
personnel employed by the state public school
system, community colleges and institutions
of higher education (and spouse/dependent
children.)
2. A dependent person who has resided for five
years with an adult relative other than his or
her parents or legal guardian, and whose
said relative has maintained legal residence
in Florida for a least 12 months immediately
prior to the first day of classes of the term for
which a Florida resident classification is
sought, provided the dependent has resided
continuously with this relative for five years
prior to enrollment.
9. Students from Latin America and the
Caribbean who receive scholarships from the
federal or state government. The student
must attend, on a full-time basis, a Florida
institution of higher education.
3. Married to a person who has maintained
legal residence in Florida for at least 12
months immediately prior to the first day of
classes of the term for which a Florida resident
classification is sought, has established legal
residence, intends to make Florida his or her
permanent home and who has relinquished
legal ties to any other state.
4. Persons who were enrolled as Florida
residents for tuition purposes at a Florida
public institution of higher education, but
who abandon Florida residency and then
re-enrolled in Florida within 12 months of the
abandonment.
5. Active duty members of the armed services
of the United States, residing or stationed in
Florida, and active members of the Florida
National Guard who qualify under S.250.10
(7) and (8) for the tuition assistance program,
(and spouse/dependent child) or military
personnel not stationed in Florida, whose
home of record or state of legal residence
certificated, DD Form 2058, is Florida.
6. Active duty members of the armed services
of the United States, and their spouses
attending a public community college or
university within 50 miles of the military
establishment where they are stationed, if
such military establishment is within a county
contiguous to Florida.
7. United States citizens living on the Isthmus of
Panama, who have completed 12 consecutive
months of college work at the Florida State
University Panama Canal Branch, and their
spouses and dependent children.
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
10. Full-time employees of state agencies or
political subdivisions of the state when the
student fees are paid by the state agency or
political subdivision for the purpose of jobrelated law enforcement or corrections
training.
11. United States citizens living outside of the
United States who are teaching at a
Department of Defense Dependent School or
in an American International School and
who enrolled in a Florida State Board of
Education-approved graduate level
education program which leads to a Florida
teaching certificate.
12. Qualified beneficiaries under the Florida
Pre-Paid Postsecondary Expense Program
per S. 1009.98(2)(a)1.
13. A dependent child, whose parents are
divorced, separated or otherwise living apart
will be considered a resident for tuition
purposes if either parent is a legal resident
of Florida, regardless of which parent claims
the minor for tax purposes.
14. Active duty members of the Canadian military
residing or stationed in Florida under the North
American Air Defense (NORAD) agreement,
and their spouses and dependent children,
attending a public community college or
university within 50 miles of the military
establishment where they are stationed.
NOTE: Documentation in support of the above
qualifications is required.
Documents for Proof of Residency
To qualify as a “resident for tuition purposes,” an
applicant or the dependent applicant’s parent/legal
guardian must establish and maintain legal residency
in Florida. The documents supporting the establishment of legal residency must be dated, issued or

classes of the term for which a Florida resident
19
classification is sought. These supporting residency
documents must be received in the Registrar’s
office by the end of the regular posted add/drop
period for that term. All documentation is subject to
verification. Additional documentation, other than
what is stated below, may be requested in some
cases. For this process, a minimum of two copied
documents are required. At least one must be
issued 12 months immediately prior to the first day
of classes of the term for which a Florida resident
classification is sought. NO SINGLE DOCUMENT
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE.

regarding the admissions classification and will
convey to the applicant the final residency
determination.
20
Reclassification
It is important to understand that living in or
attending school in Florida is not sufficient
evidence to establish residency for tuition
purposes. Students must show that they were in
Florida to maintain a bona fide domicile. The
following hard copy evidence may be accepted as
evidence of establishing legal residence in Florida:
A. For independent students, if appropriate,
obtain parent/student tax returns, affidavits,
employment records, bank accounts, etc.,
and at least one document of legal residency
dated at least 12 months immediately prior to
the first day of classes of the term for which
legal residency is sought. (See previous list
of acceptable evidence.)
B. For dependent students, if dependent on a
Florida resident parent/legal guardian, obtain
from parent/legal guardian:
1. Proof of dependent status, and
2. At least two documents of legal residency
pertaining to the parent/legal guardian
that is dated 12 months immediately
prior to the first day of classes for the
term in which residency is sought. (See
previous list of acceptable evidence.)
C. If dependent on out-of-state parent/legal
guardian, student may be reclassified only
under rare circumstances in which the
student’s age and general circumstances
warrant the reclassification (e.g., graduate
student, married, is supporting a dependent
child or adult).
D. For students seeking reclassification under
an exceptional category, hard copy
documentation appropriate to the particular
category (e.g., marriage certificate, military
orders, teaching contract, etc.) is required.
Appeals
The College Registrar will review appeals
regarding the reclassification and will convey to
the applicant the final residency determination and
the reasons.
ALL APPLICANTS
Application and Application Fee
All students must submit a completed application,
along with a non-refundable, one-time application fee.
SUBSTITUTIONS FOR ELIGIBLE
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Eligible students with disabilities may be provided
special considerations for reasonable substitution
for any requirement for admission to the institution,
admission to a program of study or area of interest,
or graduation. Florida State Board of Education
Rule 6A-10.041 authorizes reasonable substitution
for these requirements to any person who has a
hearing impairment, visual impairment or a specific
learning disorder. Substitutions will only be utilized
in cases where the person’s failure to meet the
requirement is related to the disability and where
the failure to meet the requirement does not
constitute a fundamental alteration in the nature of
the program. For procedures regarding substitutions
contact the Coordinator of Access Services (352)
854-2322 ext. 1580, TDD (352) 873-5854.
COLLEGE CREDIT DIVISION
All college credit students must be high school
graduates, GED recipients, home school completers,
or qualified Early Admission/Dual Enrollment students
(see page 30).
Students can be admitted to credit courses
at CFCC under one or more of the following
classifications.
Degree-seeking students can earn either the
Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.) or
Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.).
Non-degree applicants can pursue postsecondary vocational certificate, adult enrichment
or career exploration, teacher certification, renewal
or extension. Courses with a college prep prerequisite are closed to non-degree-seeking students.
Most college credit certificate-seeking students
pursue a one-year program of study.
Transfer students are those who have previously
registered at any other post-secondary institution(s),
regardless of the amount of time spent or credit
earned. They can be degree-seeking or nondegree-seeking. See special requirements on
page 24.
Returning students, or those who have
previously applied and paid an application fee, will
not be charged a second application fee. Students
who return to CFCC who have not been continuously
enrolled (defined as earning one credit hour or
more in one calendar year) will need to complete a
readmission application as well as the academic
requirements of the current catalog in effect. Any
full- or part-time student has five calendar years of
continuous enrollment after he/she returns to
complete degree requirements under the catalog in
effect when returning.
Students seeking to return to the ADN (Associate
in Science Degree Nursing) program must follow
procedures outlined. Veterans see pages 46–48.
International students are those who are
residents of countries other than the United States.
See pages 22–23.
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
Regardless of which classification is appropriate,
the student is considered either full-time (enrolled
for 12 or more credits in a regular 16-week
semester) or part-time (enrolled for fewer than 12
credits in a regular 16-week semester). Also, a
student is considered to be a freshman if 29 or
fewer credit hours have been earned, or a
sophomore if more than 29 credit hours have
been earned.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
See page 36 for information on preadmission testing.
AUDIT Students
A student may register during the Add/Drop
Period (see calendar) for a credit course on a nocredit (audit) basis. An audit student cannot change
to credit status. Exceptions to the audit policy
require approval of the dean and will count as an
attempt. The audit policy is not applicable to Health
Occupations, Criminal Justice, Science Labs, and
college preparatory and dual enrollment students.
(see Forgiveness and Withdrawal policies, pages 65
and 66).
CHILD CARE Students
To comply with Florida state law, Chapter
402.3055, each prospective student must be
fingerprinted and undergo a criminal background
check, reference check and tuberculosis test. The
cost of these procedures is the responsibility of the
student. Information received is confidential and is
required to determine the prospective student’s
ability to work with children.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE Students
See pages 110 and 136.
DEGREE-SEEKING Students
Placement Testing: Degree-seeking applicants
to any university or community college in the Florida
state system must present placement test scores
taken within the last two years as part of the
application process. CFCC accepts any of the three
tests authorized by the state (ACT, SAT or CPT).
21
CPT is the official placement test for community
colleges in the state of Florida. CFCC regularly
offers CPT on its campus. Placement tests provide
information about the reading, English, and
mathematics skills that are required for success in
college. By assessing ability levels in these areas,
placement tests help determine the most appropriate
English, mathematics, and reading courses students
should take. Scoring below the required cut-off
score indicates the student is not ready for collegelevel work in the specific area. Florida requires
these students to complete non-credit college
preparatory course work prior to entering college
level work in the weak areas.
New degree-seeking students may not register
for classes unless CFCC has placement test
scores on file. CPT sample test question booklets
and ACT and SAT registration packets are available
at CFCC’s Ocala Campus Testing Center (Building
7, Room 101), as well as at the Citrus Campus
Counseling office.
INTERNATIONAL Students
Central Florida Community College has an
Office of International Student Services to assist
international students in making the transition from
their home countries to CFCC. The staff will gladly
assist students with immigration regulations,
educational planning, personal problems and other
areas of concern.
Central Florida Community College is authorized
by United States Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) to enroll non-immigrant alien
students. These students are required to complete

applicants must provide evidence of financial
responsibility and have sufficient funds to
pay college matriculation and tuition fees,
textbook cost, medical and living expenses,
and health insurance. Financial aid is not
available to non-immigrants and CFCC
does not offer scholarships to international
students. The Confidential Financial
Statement and the Financial Support
Information form need to be completed.
A bank letter dated within the past three
months must also be included in the
admissions packet. All of this financial
information must be submitted before the
student will be considered for admission.
A non-immigrant student may not be
employed while attending college in the
United States unless the USCIS has
granted permission. When you request a
student packet of information, a Confidential
Financial Statement and a Financial Support
Information form will be included.
7. Health and Accident Insurance: Insurance
is MANDATORY. International students on
F-1, or M-1 visas must provide proof of
medical insurance in advance of the intended
term of enrollment. This insurance must be
continued for the entire period of enrollment.
International students must provide evidence
of insurance coverage prior to registration each
semester. Contact the Office International
Services at CFCC for details about the
insurance coverage requirements.

ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
NON-DEGREE Applicants
Non-degree applicants are persons who wish to
take selected college courses without intending to
complete an associate degree program. Many
students attend to upgrade employment skills, for
career exploration, teacher recertification, audit, or
for personal objectives. A non-degree applicant
must submit a completed application and a onetime, non-refundable application fee.
A non-degree status student cannot be certified
for financial aid or veterans’ benefits. If a student
wishes to pursue a degree, he or she must contact
the Enrollment Services Center and indicate a
desire to be changed to a degree-seeking status.
Some courses are closed to non-degree-seeking
students.
SUSPENDED Students
A student who has been placed on academic
suspension and is ineligible to return to CFCC or
the previous institution attended must file a petition
for admission to CFCC. The student must schedule
a return from suspension appointment with an
advisor. See page 45 for petitions information.
TRANSFER Students
Transfer students must be eligible to return to
the last institution attended for admission to CFCC
through regular procedures. Those who have been
suspended from another institution or who have a
20 or more grade point deficit are required to file a
petition for admission (see page 45 for petitions
information). Students entering with a grade point
deficit of 1–19 will be on academic probation.
23
Transcript Requirements
High school graduates are required to submit
final official high school transcripts, proof of GED
or home school affidavit to the Enrollment Services
Centers or the Office of Admissions and Records
on any CFCC campus.
Transfer students are required to submit official
transcripts from each institution that they have
previously attended at the time that they apply
or readmit to CFCC. To be considered official,
transcripts may be either sent directly to CFCC
from the issuing institution or be delivered in a
sealed envelope sealed by the issuing institution.
Official transcripts may be submitted to the
Enrollment Services Centers or the Office of
Admissions and Records on any CFCC campus.
The Office of Admissions and Records will
evaluate these transcripts and post all accepted
transfer courses to the student’s permanent
academic record.
Transfer students may also be required to
submit their final high school transcript, proof of
GED or home school affidavit as well.
Transfer students who do not have transcripts
on file showing completion of college prep or
college level English and math will be required to
take a placement test.
Students seeking the Associate in Science
degree who posses an Associate in Arts or higher
degree have already satisfied core requirements as
listed on page 50.
In Associate in Arts degree programs, all
academic work (1000 and 2000–level) transfers in
as well as some 3000 level courses (depending on
course content). In the cases where the content is
the same, the burden of proof is on the student to
provide official course outlines or syllabi. Upper
division courses (4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000–level)
are not applicable to the degree. Any questions
regarding transcript evaluation must be resolved
with the Office of Admissions and Records.
Transfer students from NON-Regionally
accredited institutions. CFCC does not ordinarily
accept transfer credits from institutions not accredited by a regional accrediting agency unless that
institution is participating in an articulation agreement with the state of Florida or CFCC. However,
each transcript will be considered on an individual
basis. The course work accepted must represent
collegiate coursework relevant to the degree, with
course content and level of instruction resulting in
student competencies at least equivalent to those
24
of students enrolled in CFCC’s degree programs.
It is the student’s responsibility to provide the
following information to the Admissions Committee
on a course-by-course basis if they wish for CFCC
to consider awarding credit for courses that were
not transferred during their initial evaluations.
The student must:
1. Provide the teaching credentials (institution,
degrees, and discipline) of the instructor of
each course being reconsidered for credit.
2. Provide the syllabus, course objectives and
course description for each course being
considered for transfer credit.
3. Provide an official transcript to CFCC.
All documents must be provided before the
request will be considered by the Admissions
Committee. Upon receipt of the document, the
Admissions Committee will review all evidence
provided and make a final determination on the
transferability of each course.
International transfer students with course
work from outside of the United States must
submit certified original official high school diplomas
or certified high school transcripts showing subjects
and grades earned, as well as dates of completion.
Official transcripts from any postsecondary school(s)
attended must be provided. An evaluation from a
foreign credentials agency (approved by CFCC)
is required for all postsecondary coursework taken
outside of the United States. Both official transcripts
in the native language, as well as English translations
are required in addition to the foreign credentials
evaluation. Any translation, evaluation or testing
fees are the student’s responsibility.
Transient students must submit a transient
letter showing good standing from the last institution
attended prior to registering at CFCC. The transient
letter must also list those courses in which the
student wishes to enroll, as well as their residency
status for tuition purposes.
Failure to have all transcripts on file will
prohibit the student from registering the following
semester.
Credit By Examination
Central Florida Community College welcomes a variety of students of all ages to our campus. Many
students bring a depth of knowledge to specific subjects. We recognize and honor such knowledge by
awarding credit by examinations. Section 1009.539, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating
Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for such exams. Public
community colleges and universities in Florida are requested to follow the ACC’s recommendation concerning
their examination policies. Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit. Institutions may not
award credit for scores below those listed by the ACC. CFCC students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours
of course credit through any combination of credit by examination (e.g., CLEP, AP, IB, Dantes and/or
Excelsior College). 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. Score minimums, credit hours
awarded and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination without
prior notice.

Dual Enrollment
The State Board of Education encourages
colleges and school boards to enter into agreements to offer college courses to selected high
school students who have exhausted their school’s
curriculum and qualify for dual enrollment status.
As provided for by current legislation, colleges may
waive the student’s application, tuition and applicable
fees. CFCC has such agreements with Citrus, Levy
and Marion public school districts. Students who
believe they might qualify for the dual enrollment
classes should discuss this possibility with their
high school counselors. High school students can
take dual enrollment courses on some high school
campuses and on the college campus.
Early Admission
Another acceleration opportunity exists in the
college’s early admission program designed for students who have completed the 11th grade and wish
to attend the college as full-time students
(12 credits or more) during the high school senior
year. All dual enrollment and early admission
candidates must submit an application, appropriate
test scores (CPT, ACT, SAT), and a letter of
recommendation from the high school. Once these
materials are on file in the Office of Admissions
and Records, the application will be evaluated and
the student will be notified officially of acceptance.
Public and approved private school students are
exempt from the application fee and tuition.
Experiential Learning
The experiential learning assessment process is
designed to recognize the academic value of learning
through experiences including work experience,
employment-related training programs, seminars,
volunteer work, travel, military service or self-directed study.
Assessment: Assessment involves the following:
• Written or performance tests.
• Preparation of a portfolio describing learning
and how it was acquired.
• Evaluation of certificates and licenses.
• Interviews with faculty members.
• Review of external agency recommendations.
The program area responsible for the courses
for which credit is requested determines the
method of assessment and the amount of credit
awarded. Not all courses are assessable courses.
Courses being assessed must be offered as a
requirement or an elective in an A.S. or A.A.S.
30
degree or certificate program at CFCC. General
education courses are not assessable.
Process: After being admitted to the college and
selecting a program with the help of a counselor or
advisor, the student must:
1. Meet with the appropriate program representative to determine if an assessment process
is available for selected courses.
2. Apply for assessment on forms available
from the department or student affairs.
3. Consult with the department, program manager
or designated faculty evaluator to determine
requirements for assessment and fees required.
4. Discuss student responsibilities in the
assessment process, including:
• Meeting with an instructor for an oral or
written exam
• Preparing for a written exam by reviewing
textbooks
• Arranging for an instructor to interview an
employer, as well as a work site visit
• Presenting certificates and licenses for
authentication
• Developing a portfolio of experience
• Providing ACE recommendations for
military training.
5. Pay necessary fees for assessment. It is
possible that academic credit will not be
awarded as requested, but the cost of
assessment remains the same.
Award of Credit: Depending on the amount of
credit requested and the methods of assessment
required, the assessment process time may vary.
When the process is completed, the results are forwarded to the appropriate dean for final review and
verification. The dean will request, by memo, that
the College Registrar post any awarded credits to
the transcript. Credits awarded are held in escrow
until the student satisfactorily completes 25% of
program coursework (15 credits for the A.A.) at
CFCC. Experiential credit may not be used to meet
the residency requirement of 25% of program
course work required at CFCC for graduation.
This type of credit may not be acceptable for
transfer to other institutions. The receiving
institution would determine transferability.
Credit by Departmental Examination
Evidence of proficiency in a subject area qualifies
a student to request a departmental examination in
departments where exams are provided. Students
may not apply for credit by departmental examination
in a course where they have received 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. Credits earned will not be included on
the official college transcript until the student has
completed a minimum of 12 credits at CFCC.
1. The student must contact the department or
discipline program facilitator/program
manager in the department where
departmental exams are provided.
2. Based on advice from the departmental
contact, the student must complete the
upper portion of the Credit by Departmental
Exam/Experiential Learning registration form.
3. The dean and the discipline program facilitator
will review student’s request with the student.
If approved, the process for completing the
exam will be explained.
4. The student must take the approved
registration form and payment to the
cashier. A per course fee must be paid prior
to the administration of the exam.
5. Upon registration for the departmental exam
and payment of the fee, the student must
schedule the exam within five working days.
6. The departmental representative will schedule
the exam within 10 working days after being
contacted by the student.
7. The dean will monitor the exam process in
order to verify evidence (passing exam
score) of competency.
8. Upon satisfactory completion of the exam,
the dean forwards, by memo, the results
to the Office of Admissions and Records.
A grade of “S” will be submitted for passed
departmental exam.
9. Upon receipt of the memo, Office of
Admissions and Records will notify the
student the grade has been received.
10. Credit by departmental exam may not be
attempted a second time for the same course.
Correspondence and Extension Courses
CFCC offers neither correspondence nor
extension courses, although certain correspondence
courses are acceptable for transfer.

education experiences, CFCC will grant
credit for military education in certain cases.
After enrollment in the college, a student
may initiate the request for such credit by
providing appropriate documentation as
determined by the college. Recommendations
in the A.C.E. Guide are advisory in nature
and are not binding upon the college.
D. Students enrolling in occupational certificate
programs are eligible to satisfy up to 20 percent of the program’s competencies through
military service credit. The competencies will
be awarded after a student satisfactorily
completes eight weeks of instruction in the
appropriate occupational program. Transcripts should be submitted to the Office of
Admissions and Records for evaluation.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
When submission of the required application
forms has been completed, the student will receive
a letter of acceptance and a notice of dates and
places for orientation and/or scheduling and
registration. Any changes in address, name, marital
status, residency or citizenship should be reported
promptly to the Enrollment Services Center.
REGISTRATION
Registration information, procedures and deadlines
for college credit, occupational, audit, and continuing
education students are published in the Web
registration guide and posted on college bulletin
boards and the Web site as appropriate. In the case
of courses beginning outside the regular academic
terms, posters, flyers, and media announcements
may be used to notify potential students. Each
student, by registering, pledges acceptance of the
rules and regulations of the college.
Online orientation is required for all transfer
students prior to registration for their first term at
the college. Students who have attended CFCC
before and are returning to the college after a five
year absence must complete online orientation. An
in-person Orientation/Registration session is
required for all first time in college degree-seeking
students before their first semester of enrollment.
First-time CFCC degree-seeking students
may not register without completing a regularlyscheduled Orientation/Registration session.
Advisors will assist students in registering for
the appropriate courses for their first term
based on the student’s Program of Study or
area of interest. All students who have completed
Orientation/Registration and are in good
standing may register online in future terms.
See the Web registration guide for instructions.
Students may register for a maximum of 18
hours in fall and spring semesters, and 18 hours in
summer (nine hours in Summer-A term and nine in
Summer-B term). Students may request permission
to exceed the maximum 18 hour registration limit
through the petitions process. A minimum cumulative
grade point average of 3.0 or above is required
to petition.
Non-degree-seeking and transient students
register during General Registration.
The student identification card and a parking
decal are issued by the campus Public Safety
office when proof of credit registration is available.
Fees may be paid online by credit card via the
MyCFCC Web Portal, in-person at the cashier’s
window on the Ocala and Citrus Campuses and
the Levy Center administrative offices, or by
regular mail.
Students receiving financial aid or veteran’s
assistance should go to the Enrollment Services
Center first for processing of necessary paperwork.
Students will be held in their registered classes
provided fees are paid by the due date or they
have been awarded financial aid.
Third party authorization — If all or part of
your registration fees are being paid by an external
agency (your employer, Florida Prepaid Program,
Vocational Rehabilitation, One-Stop, a government
agency, etc.), you must present your current form
of authorization (letter, card, voucher, etc.) to a
campus business office or Enrollment Services
Center by the fee payment deadline. This authorization must be for the current term and indicate a
specific dollar amount for fees and/or books. You
are responsible for any remaining balance. If the
current authorization is not presented, your
account will not be credited properly and you may
be removed from all of your courses, and/or
responsible to pay the fees.
Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan — Students who
participate in the Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan must
present a valid Florida Prepaid Identification card
and a photo ID to a campus Enrollment Services
Center each semester they register for classes
as well as whenever they make a schedule change
during the add/drop period of each semester. The
card must apply to the appropriate academic year
and be signed by the student. Students participating
in this tuition plan are responsible for any
amounts not covered by their plan, and any
remaining balance must be paid by the fee due
date on the student’s schedule. Students may
check their ‘MyCFCC’ Web portal (www.gocfcc.com)
for a “Florida Prepaid” hold to confirm that their
Florida Prepaid request has been processed.

REGISTRATION
Add/Drop and Withdrawal Periods
Courses may be added or dropped only during
periods indicated in the college calendar on page
six of this catalog. A student may withdraw from a
class after the initial drop period, with no refund of
fees. These withdrawals are permitted up to
the last date to withdraw without an “F.” These
withdrawals will result in a letter grade of “W” being

PROCEDURE
AREA VOCATIONAL EDUCATION SCHOOL
(Occupational Certificate Programs)
A new student seeking an occupational
certificate must:
A. Complete a college application for admission
B. Complete the Test of Adult Basic Education
(TABE); and
C. Pay the appropriate application fee.
After completion of the steps above, if there is
space available in the program, the new applicant
must register through the Workforce division advisor
in Building 17 (Ocala Campus). Students may pay
fees by mail, at the cashier’s window in Bryant
Student Union or at the Citrus Campus or Levy
Center administrative offices.
New degree-seeking students: After the
student’s application has been processed, the
Office of Admissions and Records sends the
student an acceptance letter. Soon thereafter, a
postcard will be sent with information about the
orientation and registration process. If attending
classes primarily on the Citrus Campus or at the
Levy Center, call for information.
Returning students: Appointments for registration
assistance are available through the Student
Advising Department. Students who have not
attended CFCC for one year or longer must
submit a readmission application (no fee required).
Students with a five-year absence must also
complete online orientation.
Non-degree-seeking students: After the
application is processed, the student can complete
the registration process at the Enrollment Services
Center on the Ocala and Citrus Campuses.
Registration occurs during the General
Registration period.
Audit students: Students will follow the
regular registration and payment process. During
the post add/drop period only, students may
submit a request to change to audit status in the
Enrollment Services Center on the Ocala and
Citrus Campuses.
Transient: Students must present a transient
letter from their home college. The letter must
specify the courses that your college has approved
for you to take at CFCC. If you decide to change
your enrollment status to transfer to CFCC, you will
need to complete a “Student Information Update
Form” to change your program of study. You may
only register in person as a transient student in the
Enrollment Services Center during the General
Registration period
Teacher certification: Students may register in
the Enrollment Services Center during General
Registration for any course that does not have a
prerequisite. If we have received and evaluated your
college transcripts, you will have much greater flexibility in course selection.
State employees: Students using the State
Employee Tuition Waiver may register during the
add period ONLY. Check the college calendar on
page six of this catalog for this date. Each term, the
waiver covers six (6) credit hours worth of tuition.
The State Employee Fee Waiver and the State

THE LEARNING THEME
AT CFCC
In 2002-03, Central Florida Community College
inaugurated an institution-wide learning theme,
Integrity: A Value of Community. The learning
theme study promotes connections among the
segments of the CFCC community-students, faculty,
staff, administration—and with the larger community
of which it is a part.
In exploring an annual theme, the college family
becomes more involved in the holistic nature of
learning, developing an awareness of “learning
across the curriculum” and experiencing first-hand
that knowledge and insight cross departmental
barriers. Involving students in a learning theme
also has the benefit of implementing many of the
Institutional Learning Outcomes including
Communication, Critical Thinking and Problem
Solving, Technical Skills, Math, Interpersonal Skills,
and Self-Direction. Students and staff read a book
in common and organize classroom and campus
events around questions related to the theme.
The themes for the first four years were based
on defining the four values in the college vision
statement—integrity, service, responsibility and
dignity—-and determining what these mean to the
CFCC learning community. “Service” was the
theme for 2003–2004, “Responsibility” was the
theme for 2004–2005, and “Dignity” was the theme
for 2005–2006.
FOCUS: STUDENT
DEVELOPMENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Major College Directions: To provide accessible,
affordable, high quality learning opportunities which
meet students’ lifelong learning needs. To provide a
caring environment which supports learning and
development. To contribute to the cultural, social
and economic development of our communities.
To value our employees.
In response to these Major Directions, Central
Florida Community College has become a
student-centered learning institution that provides
opportunities for students to pursue lifelong learning
experiences.
38
Learning Outcomes
CFCC has identified six major student
development learning objectives and competencies
that describe the student development learning
outcomes for a CFCC graduate. These learning
outcomes can be applied in academic, employment,
social and community contexts and must be crafted
over a lifetime. These learning outcomes and
competencies enable students to set learning
goals and assess learning within and across
academic disciplines and the disciplines of human
inquiry and development.
Communication skills
Self direction and self exploration skills
Critical thinking and problem solving skills
Interpersonal skills
Information technology skills
Mathematics
AIDS AND
BLOODBORNE
PATHOGENS
Information on the college policy on HIV
and bloodborne pathogens is available in the
Human Resources office, the Learning Resources
Department, on the college Intranet, and the office

campuses have counselors well versed on the
subject and available to work with persons who have
AIDS or who have questions about AIDS. Information shared is kept in strict confidence. Contact the
Student Advising Department for assistance.
DRUG AND
ALCOHOL POLICY
As a condition of enrollment and employment at
the college, individuals shall certify that they are
not engaged in the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensation, possession or use of illicit drugs
and/or alcohol on the college’s property or as any
part of the institution’s activities. All campuses and
student/employee/alumni activities associated with
the college, whether on or off the campus, shall
be guided by this policy and its procedures. In
accordance with Board Policy, alcoholic beverages
are not permitted on college property. Further

HEPATITIS B/MENINGITIS
AWARENESS
Florida law now requires that a post-secondary
institution shall provide detailed information
concerning the risks associated with meningococcal
meningitis and hepatitis B and the availability,
effectiveness, and known contraindications of any
required or recommended vaccine to every student,
or to the student’s parent if the student is a minor,
who has been accepted for admission. Meningitis
is a serious disease that affects the brain and spinal
cord. Because bacterial meningitis is a grave illness
and can rapidly progress to death, it requires early
diagnosis and treatment. This is often difficult
because the symptoms closely resemble those of
the flu and the highest incidence of meningitis occurs
during late winter and early spring (flu season).
When not fatal, bacterial meningitis can lead to
permanent disabilities such as hearing loss, brain
damage, or loss of limbs. Hepatitis B is a serious
infectious disease caused by a virus that attacks
the liver. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause
life-long infection that leads to cirrhosis (scarring)
of the liver, liver cancer, or liver failure. There is no
cure for hepatitis B, but the infection can be prevented by vaccination. Each year, about 200,000
people are infected with the virus and 5,000 die.
Although there have been no reported cases of
meningitis or hepatitis B at our college in recent
years, we are taking the proactive step towards
informing and protecting our students.
HOUSING
Convenient housing is provided adjacent to the
Ocala Campus through the CFCC Foundation, Inc.
College Square, a 48-unit, 192-bedroom student
residence center, is directly across from the Ocala
Campus on Airport Road. Inquiries may be made
by contacting the on-site housing office or the
Enrollment Services Center in Bryant Student Union
Building (5). College-sponsored housing is unusual
among community colleges, but the CFCC
administration believes that a quality residential
environment can add a positive dimension to student
educational and personal development.
I.D. CARDS
All credit students are entitled to photo
identification cards that allow attendance at campus
activities, use of the Learning Resources Center,
and the Learning Support Center. Photo I.D. cards
are required when selling textbooks back to the
bookstore. Ocala Campus students should report to
the campus Public Safety office to have a
photograph taken and a card made. Citrus Campus
students should report to the Welcome Center to
have a card made. Hours are Monday through
Friday, 8:30–11 a.m., and 1:00–2:30 p.m. on
Wednesday and Thursday. Levy Center students
should inquire at the center business office for
information on photo scheduling.
LOST AND FOUND
Lost and found items are stored in the Public
Safety office at the Ocala Campus, the Welcome
Center at the Citrus Campus, and the lobby at Levy
Center. Items will be held for sixty (60) days after
the beginning of the semester following the semester
in which the item was received. Sixty (60) days after
the start of each semester (fall, spring, and summer
A/B), unclaimed items will be donated or discarded
as appropriate. To reclaim an item, the party claiming
ownership must provide a picture ID and properly
identify the item.
PARKING
Traffic and parking regulations have been
established to maximize safety and parking
convenience. All vehicles brought on campus by
students or employees must be properly registered
with the Public Safety Department. This can be
accomplished at the Public Safety building on the
Ocala Campus and at the Enrollment Services
Center on the Citrus Campus. A copy of the
regulations and information on available parking
areas is provided. All vehicles parked on campus
without a current parking decal or special parking
permit properly displayed will be ticketed, booted or
towed at the owner’s risk and expense. See page
71 for information on fines and penalties for violation
of traffic and parking regulations.
PETITIONS,
GRIEVANCES and
ACADEMIC REVIEW
GENERAL
INFORMATION
In cases of unusual circumstances where
specific regulations do not seem to be in the best
interest of a student’s academic program, provision
for review has been established through a faculty
committee on student petitions. This committee has
the authority to review matters pertaining to
academic progress and to recommend exceptions
concerning any academic regulation if such
exception seems to be in the best interest of the
student and of the college.
Petition forms pertinent to academic progress
and/or academic regulations are available in the
Enrollment Services Center on both the Ocala and
Citrus campuses and the administrative office at the
Levy Center. These forms are to be used by any
student who, after discussion with the assigned advisor
or counselor, believes that special circumstances
govern the situation.
The college has established and published in
the FOCUS, a policy for hearing and settling of
student grievances. Any student who feels he or
she has been discriminated against on the basis of
gender, race, color, religion, age, marital status,
or disability in the application of any policy or
procedure of Central Florida Community College
should contact the office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs to file a letter of grievance.
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY
OBSERVANCE
In compliance with federal, state and District
Board of Trustees rules, which provide that there
shall be no discrimination in the treatment of
students and employees on the basis of religion,
the college makes reasonable accommodation for
religious observance. Such accommodation shall
apply to admissions, registration, class attendance
and activities, scheduling of examinations and
official ceremonies, and work assignments.
45
SEXUAL OFFENDERS
ON CAMPUS
Federal and State law requires a person
designated as a sexual offender or sexual predator
to register with the local law enforcement agency
where the offender resides. Offenders are also
required to notify local law enforcement of their
intent to apply for enrollment or employment at an
institution of higher learning. The local law
enforcement agency is, in turn, required to notify
the college when receiving this information.
Information regarding sexual offenders or
predators attending or employed by an institution
of higher learning may be obtained from the local
law enforcement agency with jurisdiction for the
particular campus or by calling FDLE hotline
(1-888-FL-PREDATOR) or (1-888-357-7332),
or by visiting the FDLE Web site at
www.fdle.state.fl.us/sexual_predators
The College has established a procedure for
sexual offenders and predators who apply to the
college. Sexual offenders are encouraged to selfidentify when applying for admission by calling the
office of the Vice President for Student Affairs
located at the Ocala Campus. Such individuals will
be required to submit specific information to the
Vice President for Student Affairs about their
offense(s), adjudication, sentencing, probation and
treatment, and will be interviewed to determine if
they can be accepted. Conditions may be placed
on their admittance to the college, and instructors
in whose classes they enroll may be notified of
their presence. Sexual predators who apply for
admission will be denied.
STUDENT PRIVACY
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
passed in 1974 by the United States Congress
relates to accessibility and confidentiality of student
records. Provisions of the act classify the following
as ‘‘directory information’’ that will be released to
the general public upon request, unless the student
has specifically requested that some or all of the
information not be released: name, address, date
of birth, fields of study or area of interest, participation
in officially-organized activities and sports, weight
and height of athletic team members, dates of
attendance, degrees and awards received, and most
recent previous educational institution attended.
46
A student must submit to the Office of
Admissions and Records a written notice stating
which of the above items is not to be released
to the general public. All other information not listed
above that relates directly to the student cannot be
released without the student’s written permission.
Under the law, access to student records without
the student’s permission is granted under the
following circumstances: to teachers, administrators
and the like in the same institution; to other
institutions in which the student intends to enroll;
to the Comptroller General of the United States;
in connection with a student’s application for, or
receipt of, financial aid; to organizations such as
Educational Testing Service or the College Entrance
Examination Board involved in testing programs
and student aid; to accrediting organizations; in
compliance with judicial order or pursuant to any
lawfully-issued subpoena.
The College Registrar can provide additional
information on the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment).
CFCC TRANSCRIPTS
Students must make written requests and pay a
$3.00 fee per transcript to have official transcripts
issued by the College. Transcript request forms
may be downloaded from the Office of Admissions
and Records web page at www.GoCFCC.com or
picked up in CFCC’s Enrollment Services Center.
Completed requests may be submitted at the
Enrollment Services Center nearest you before
visiting the Cashier Office for payment or by mailing
a request to: Central Florida Community College
Office of Admissions and Records, P.O. Box 1388,
Ocala, FL 34478. All transcript requests take three
business days to process from the date of the
request. Please allow one week for transcript
requests to be processed from archives (courses
taken prior to 1992.) Transcript requests will not be
processed if there is an outstanding financial
obligation to the College.
VETERANS
INFORMATION
Students who are using their VA education
benefits for the first time must activate their
benefits with the VA. For quickest processing,
it is recommended that veterans and/or
dependents apply using the VONAPP Web site at
www.gibill.va.gov. Hard copies of VA education
benefit applications may also be downloaded from
this Web site. Note: According to the VA regional
processing office, the processing of the hard copy
application will delay the receipt of benefits by
approximately 2-3 months. We strongly suggest
utilization of the online application form.
Computers are available for use in the Enrollment
Services Center on each campus. Students may
also pick up a VA Certification instruction sheet
and a Veteran’s Handbook in the Enrollment
Services Center. These documents provide
detailed step-by-step instructions for application
and use of Veteran’s educational benefits.
Note: Allow a minimum of six to eight weeks for
the VA application or any paperwork to be processed
by the VA regional office from the time the
paperwork is submitted by the veteran to the VA
regional office.
Each chapter 30 or 1606 (active duty or
reserve) veteran must also submit a copy of his/her
DD-214 discharge papers to the Records office to
have HLP 1081 credits posted to his/her official
CFCC transcript. By agreement between CFCC
and the Veteran’s Administration, each chapter 30,
31 and 1606 veteran will receive 4.0 hours of HLP
1081 Personal Wellness credit with a grade of S.
NOTE: Because of this agreement, Chapter 30,
31 and 1606 students should NOT register for
HLP 1081 because it is not covered by the
Montgomery GI Bill VA benefits. 4000 Gordon
rule words will not be credited to HLP 1081
hours with a grade of S.
Chapter 35 (spouse/dependent) students are
eligible to enroll in HLP 1081 at CFCC and this
course is approved only for use by Chapter 35
VA benefit recipients.
Students who have previously used their
benefits at another institution must file a VA
Change of Program or Place of Training form
prior to certification. These may be obtained in
the Enrollment Services Center and should be
returned to the Enrollment Services Center prior to
enrollment certification.
After submission of the VA benefit application, it
generally takes 60–90 days processing time by the
VA regional office before a benefit check is received.
Important: Completion of the enrollment
certification process requires approval of
courses by a counselor or advisor. Veterans
and/or dependents will not be certified without
a counseling appointment to approve their
schedule each term.
VA Deferments
In accordance with Florida law and college
policy, any eligible veteran or dependent wishing to
pursue an approved program within the parameters
of Chapter 30, 35, or 1606 will have upon request,
60 days after the first day of classes to pay
registration fees. During summer terms, the
deadline for payment of VA deferred fees will be 10
days before the last day of scheduled classes.
Only ONE fee deferment per academic year is
allowed. VA students are responsible for payment
of all deferred fees by the due date regardless of
whether or not they have received benefits from
the VA.
Veteran and dependent students receiving a VA
deferment will be expected to pay their tuition and
fees by the date on their VA deferment contract. If
the fees are not paid by the due date on the VA
Deferment contract, the following may occur:
GENERAL
INFORMATION
1) The student may be barred from class
attendance.
2) The student may be administratively
withdrawn from current class enrollment and
earn no grades or credits for the term.
3) No grades, transcripts or other academic
records will be issued from the Office of the
Registrar.
4) The student’s VA benefits will be terminated
along with current semester enrollment and
reported to the VA. This will result in an
overpayment status with the Veteran’s
Administration and any received VA funds
may need to be returned to the VA.
5) The student will be in a repayment status to
CFCC and be held responsible for tuition
and fees owed even if the student earns no
credit for their term.
6) The student will be barred from future
registration until fees are paid.
7) If fees remain unpaid, the student’s account
will be turned over for collection.
8) The student will forfeit eligibility to receive
any future VA deferments while attending
CFCC.
Under Public Law 94.502, veterans cannot be
certified to the VA by CFCC in any program in
which Chapter 30 and Chapter 35 VA recipients
comprise more than 85 percent of the enrollment in
the program. Chapter 35 VA students are included
47
in the 85:15 percent ratio computation; however,
they can be certified to the VA in any approved
program, regardless of the percentage of veterans
in that program.
VA Standards of Progress
The concept of unsatisfactory progress includes
those VA students not progressing at a rate that
will permit graduation within the approved length of
the course, based on the time paid for by the VA.
This provision may be waived if there is a VA finding
of mitigating or extenuating circumstances. Students
placed on VA probation for unsatisfactory progress
will be so notified, in writing, by the college Veterans
Affairs office. If, after one term or its equivalent, the
student fails to achieve satisfactory progress, VA
education benefits will be terminated. The college
notifies both the student and the VA regional office
in Atlanta when this occurs. Once a VA student is
dismissed for unsatisfactory progress, he or she
cannot receive further educational benefits from
the VA until approved by the school and VA.
VA Grades
The VA prohibits payment of educational benefits for a course in which a student receives a
non-punitive grade (“W,” “I,” “N” or “X”), and these
grades cannot be used in computing graduation
requirements. This includes any course from
which the student withdraws, unless there is a
VA finding of mitigating circumstances that
caused the withdrawal. Mitigating circumstances
can be considered if the student can demonstrate
good faith in pursuit of the course up to the point of
withdrawal or completion and if the student submits
evidence that he or she applied for tutorial aid and
consulted a counselor in an attempt to remedy the
unsatisfactory work before withdrawal or completion.
Only classes that apply to the degree or program will be certified to the VA. Minimum training
time requirements for veterans are listed below:

Reminder: Any enrollment break of 30 or more
days could result in an interruption of benefits.
Unsatisfactory Attendance in
Vocational Programs
VA students in vocational programs will be
monitored on a monthly basis for attendance. The
VA will be notified of unsatisfactory attendance at
the point during a term that a vocational veteran
student accumulates three unexcused absences.
The veteran student may not be recertified for
veteran benefits until 30 days of satisfactory
attendance (no more than two unexcused absences
in the 30-day period) has elapsed. Any non-college
degree veteran student who is terminated from
receiving VA educational benefits will be notified in
writing by CFCC.
Note: All VA students are required to present
their registration forms (class schedules) to the
CFCC Enrollment Services Center before they can
be certified to the VA regional office for educational

General Education Core:
A Statement of Purpose
The CFCC General Education basic core will
consist of the following components which address
student achievement of learning outcomes: written
communications, social sciences, natural science,
humanities and mathematics. In addition, students
are expected to complete college advisement/
orientations, and to achieve skills in basic computer
use. The purpose of the common core is to expose
all degree-seeking students to a diversity of
disciplines while meeting the institutional learning
outcomes to provide for the following:
a. Minimum level of adult literacy.
b. Foundation for advanced study.
c. Inquiry and scholarship through the
improvement of basic and critical
thinking skills.
d. Increased knowledge and appreciation of
human experiences and achievements in
the arts and sciences.
e. Better understanding of individuals and their
cultures, both in America and abroad.
CFCC INSTITUTIONAL
LEARNING OUTCOMES
CFCC is committed to the development of
individuals within the traditions of our democratic
society. Through the richness of cumulative learning
experiences, individually and collectively, we become
participants in a dynamic learning community. The
college promotes positive changes in the way
students approach problems, make judgments,
communicate ideas, interact with others, accept
responsibility for their actions, and dedicate their
efforts to the service of others. Growth in these
cognitive, affective, and ethical abilities is measured
by success in the following institutional learning
outcomes: critical thinking and problem solving,
self-direction, interpersonal skills, communications,
mathematics, and computer and information skills.
GENERAL EDUCATION COMMON CORE
I. A Common Core consists of 15 credit hours of courses from the following disciplines which addresses the
Institutional Learning Outcomes: written communications, social sciences, humanities, mathematics and
natural sciences. All degree seeking students must successfully complete the common core with
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better.

DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS
(For students planning to transfer to a four-year
institution after completing two years at CFCC)
Since August 1, 1989, universities in the state of
Florida have required that all undergraduate transfer students admitted have two high school
academic units in a single foreign language or
the equivalent. The equivalent is interpreted as
8–10 semester hours of the same foreign language
taken at college level.
In addition to the General Education common
core requirements noted previously, Associate in
Arts (A.A.) students must:
A. Complete at least 60 credit hours, all of
which must be transferable academic work
exclusive of occupational courses and wellness/fitness courses, unless required in program. (15 credits General Education Common
Core, 21 or 22 credits General Education
Requirements, 24 credits General Education
electives). Note: A.A. degree seeking students
who plan to transfer to a four-year institution
should be aware that a “D” grade may not
transfer to the institution of their choice.
B. Achieve a grade point average of at least
2.0 (“C”) in all college work and at CFCC.
C. Complete at least 15 semester hours in
residence at CFCC (minimum 25% of
semester hours) and attend during the
semester that the degree is earned.
D. Take and pass the state’s College Level
Academic Skills Test (CLAST), if required, or
qualify for an exemption. Passing scores
are: Reading, 295; English Language
Skills, 295; Mathematics, 295; Essay, 6.
See page 58 for important information.
E. To satisfy F.A.C. Rule 6A-10.30 (the ‘‘Gordon

Descriptions section.)
F. To satisfy F.A.C. Rule 6A-10.30 (the ‘‘Gordon
Rule’’), complete six semester credit hours
of mathematics at the level of College
Algebra–MAC 1105 or Liberal Arts Mathematics–MGF 1106 or higher. This rule is met
when students complete, with a grade of “C”
or better, six or more hours from the courses listed in the mathematics section of the
General Education Course Requirements.
G. Effective Fall 2005, competency in the use
of computers is a requirement for all degreeseeking students. This requirement may be
satisfied through one of the following
options:
• Satisfactory completion of a high school
or technical center computer course.
• Satisfactory completion of an approved
college computer course
• Satisfactory completion of a proficiency
examination
Students are strongly recommended to
meet the computer competency requirement
through one of the three options listed
above prior to the completion of 24 college
level credit hours.
Courses that meet the computer competency
requirement are:

ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
51
H. Complete 24 hours of elective courses, which
include the required prerequisites for degree
programs at the university. See Enrollment
Services for articulation sheets for each
University. Elective courses should be
determined by the student’s area of interest
and the requirements of the four-year
institution to which the student plans to
transfer. It is recommended that the student
complete eight semester hours in a foreign
language, American Sign Language, or
appropriate CLEP exam, if the student has
not completed two years of the same foreign
language in high school. Students seeking
admission to the Florida State University
System must have completed two years of
foreign language at the high school level or
two courses (eight credit hours) at the
college level. Students enrolled in foreign
language courses at CFCC must earn a
grade of “C” or better before advancing to
the next level.
Note: American Sign Language may satisfy the
entrance requirement, but not the exit requirement,
for most universities. Check with Enrollment
Services to determine acceptability for the college
you plan to attend.
Area of Interest: Education
Students planning to study education in the
State University System must complete, as a
prerequisite for admission, ACT or SAT and three
education courses:
EDF 2005–Introduction to Education
EDG 2701–Introduction to Multicultural
Education: Teaching Diverse Populations
EME 2040–Introduction to Educational
Technology
A minimum of 15 hours of supervised volunteer
field experience in a school setting is required for
EDF 2005 Introduction to Education and EDG
2701 Introduction to Multicultural Education. Prior
to the first day of class, students must obtain
criminal background screening. Students must
present proof of criminal background screening
to the instructor on the first day of class. (F.S.
1012.32(2)(d).) Students who have undergone
criminal background screening as a condition of
current employment do not need to repeat this
process. However, proof of screening must be
52
provided at the first class meeting. Criminal background screening results are valid up to three
years from the date of the initial screening. Any
student who does not pass the criminal background
screening and is deemed not employable by their
respective school system may choose to withdraw
from the course and forfeit all fees. (F.S. Statute
435.04 and 1012.32).
An additional six hours of courses with an
international or diversity focus is also required.

COLLEGE LEVEL
ACADEMIC SKILLS TEST
(CLAST)
The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
measures the following skill areas: essay writing,
mathematics, English language skills and reading.
CFCC expects all A.A. degree students to take
CLAST as soon as they have earned 18 semester
credit hours (excluding any college prep courses),
and have completed ENC 1101, any college level
math course higher than MAT 1033 (see page 54).
CFCC also makes CLAST available for A.S. degree
students who plan eventually to transfer to a
university in the Florida state system.
CLAST is offered three times a year—in
October, February and June—on the Ocala and
Citrus campuses. Required pre-registrations may
be done by calling the Testing Center at the
Ocala campus or the Counseling Office at the
Citrus campus.
There is a one-time $25 charge for first-time
takers and CLAST exemptions. CLAST is offered
three times annually: the first Saturday in October
(unless that is a holiday, in which case the test will
be given the last Saturday in September), the third
Saturday in February, and the first Saturday in June.
Registration closes at 4:30 p.m. Friday, four weeks
prior to the test. Registration information appears
throughout the year on CFCC bulletin boards. CLAST
dates scheduled as the catalog went to press were:
Registration Deadline . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Test Date
May 4, 2007 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .June 2, 2007
September 7, 2007 . . . . . . . . . . . .October 6, 2007
January 18, 2008 . . . . . . . . . . . .February 16, 2008
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
All CLAST-takers are required to present two
forms of identification, one of which must have a
photo. Also, students must bring their CLAST
admission ticket, Social Security number, two
ballpoint pens, and two sharpened No. 2 pencils.
Free sample booklets are available in the Testing
Center, Building 5, Room 205, Ocala Campus, and
the Welcome Center at the Citrus Campus.
Approximate test time is five hours, including 70
minutes’ administration time. Students may retest
as often as necessary, but must meet regular
registration deadlines. Only students who failed one
or more subtests may retest. Students may retake
only the subtests they failed. CFCC students
needing to retake the mathematics, English language
skills, and/or reading subtests may now use the
CAT-CLAST (Computer Assisted Testing) in the
college’s Testing Center, Building 5, Room 205.
Essay retesting is available only on regular CLAST
dates. The college does not grant retesting requests
until students have satisfied an approved review
process. Students receive twice the original amount
of time for any subtests they retake.
Note: Beginning January 1, 1996, any student
fulfilling one or more of the listed requirements
before completing his or her Associate in Arts
degree or a baccalaureate degree may exempt
from the CLAST.
57
1. Achieves a score that meets or exceeds a
minimum score on the SAT or ACT. Students
may also exempt the CLAST English,
reading and essay subtests if they scored
500 or above on the Verbal section of the
SAT. Students may exempt from the Reading
subtest if they scored a 20 or above on the
ACT. Students may exempt from the English
and Essay portion of the CLAST with a
score of 20 or above on the ACT English
test. (No specific college grades or English
courses are required with the SAT or ACT
exemption option.) Students also may
exempt the Computation CLAST subtest if
they scored 500 or above on the Quantitative
Section of the SAT or 21 or above on the
Math section of the ACT. (No specific college
grades or math courses are required with
the SAT or ACT exemption option.)
2. Earns a cumulative grade point average
of 2.5 or above, on a 4.0 scale, in
postsecondary-level course work identified
by the Postsecondary Education Planning
Commission (F.S. 240.107).
3. Students who previously failed any CLAST
subtests are eligible for CLAST exemptions
if they meet the requirements listed above.
CLAST ALTERNATIVE USING
POSTSECONDARY COURSE WORK
Communication
Exemption from the three communication
sections of the CLAST can be achieved by obtaining
a 2.5 grade point average in two courses (a minimum
of six semester hours) from the following courses:
ENC 1101–English I, and
ENC 1102–English II or other equivalent
college-level English course
Computation
Exemption from the computation section of the
CLAST can be achieved by earning a 2.5 grade
point average (a minimum of six semester hours)
in any two of the following: MAC 1105–College
Algebra, or any other MAC course with the last
three digits higher than 105*; MGF 1106–Liberal
Arts Math I; or any other MGF course with the last
three digits higher than 106*; or STA 2023–
Elementary Statistics.
*Note: The first digit in the Common Course
Numbering system is assigned by the institution
and does not indicate content of the course.
58
College Preparatory Program
The college preparatory program is oriented
toward individual differences in students, rather
than to academic conformity to the subject matter.
It was developed on the premise that the student in
this program needs simultaneous assistance in
basic academic skills (reading, mathematics,
grammar and composition), personal enrichment,
and adjustment to self and society. The program
provides this assistance through college preparatory
courses drawn from the areas of English, reading,
and mathematics, as well as through individualized
workshops in counseling and communications.
College preparatory students are assigned college
preparatory classes as indicated by placement
scores. The three areas of college preparatory
instruction are mathematics, English (writing), and
reading. Students who are assigned college prep
instruction may take a limited number of collegelevel courses in each curriculum area as follows:
A. A student assigned to college prep
mathematics may not register for any
college-level mathematics course until the
college prep requirement in mathematics is
successfully completed. Additionally, no
course with a mathematics prerequisite or
corequisite may be taken.
B. A student assigned to college prep English
or reading may not register for college-level
English (ENC 1101, Freshman Composition
Skills I) until the college prep requirement
has been successfully completed. In addition,
no course which has ENC 1101 as a prerequisite or corequisite may be taken.
C. A student assigned to college prep reading
may not take any college-level reading
course or ENC 1101 until the college prep
requirement has been successfully completed.
In addition, no course which has ENC 1101
as a prerequisite or corequisite may be taken.
D. ENC 0001C and ENC 0010C (college prep
English) and REA 0001C and REA 0002C
(college prep reading) form the second or
advanced level in the ESL (English as a
Second Language) program. A student
participating in the ESL program may not
take college level courses, except as noted
in item B above.
All students required to enroll in a college
preparatory course may elect to seek an alternative
source for remedial instruction. The alternatives
may include but not be limited to a private provider,
Continuing Education, or the Learning Support
Center.
Any student who tests into any college
preparatory course or who selects an alternative
method of instruction is encouraged to begin
enrolling immediately in the college preparatory
coursework and maintain continuous enrollment in
college preparatory coursework until all college
preparatory requirements have been satisfied.
Once a student completes 12 credit hours of college
level coursework, the student will then be permitted
to enroll only in college preparatory coursework
until all prep requirements have been satisfied.
Students should enroll in at least one college
preparatory course in their first term. A student
may take other appropriate college-level courses in
addition to college preparatory courses if a student
chooses to do so. However, all college preparatory
courses must be completed prior to enrolling in
more than 12 hours of college-level courses.
Failure to comply with this rule will affect a
student’s ability to enroll in college-level courses
and may affect a student’s financial aid award.
Students enrolled in a college preparatory
course may take the common placement test
(CPT) once every 30 days, after the completion of
their current term of enrollment or at any time
between terms. Students who attain scores that
qualify for entry into regular college credit courses
will be allowed to register for such courses their
subsequent term of enrollment at CFCC.
Students are required to present passing scores
on a common placement test to show that basic
computation and/or communication skills have
been met.
Florida statute F.S. 1009.28 requires CFCC to
charge the full cost of instruction to students
enrolled in the same college-preparatory class more
than twice. However, extenuating circumstances
may qualify for an exception to the increased fee.
An exception based on extenuating circumstances
may be used only once for each course.
College Preparatory Courses
College preparatory courses do not meet the
General Education requirements and are nontransferable electives. They cannot be used to
meet the 60 hour graduation requirement. College
credit is not given for these courses. Students must
continually enroll in required preparatory courses
until all requirements are completed.

ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
Associate in Arts
Transfer Guarantees
Community college Associate in Arts graduates
are guaranteed certain rights under the statewide
articulation agreement (Rule 6A-10.024). The
articulation agreement governs the transfer of
students from Florida public community colleges
into the State University System. The agreement
addresses GENERAL ADMISSION to the State
University System and PROGRAM ADMISSION
to selected programs at a university.
General Admission
Guarantees:
The articulation agreement designates the
Associate in Arts degree as the transfer degree.
In doing so, the agreement guarantees that:
A. Community college A.A. degree holders will
be granted admission to a university within
the State University System, but not necessarily to the university or program of choice.
B. Upon transferring to a state university, A.A.
degree graduates will be awarded 60 credit
hours toward the baccalaureate degree.
C. Generally, the university catalog in effect the
year the A.A. degree student first enrolled at
the community college will remain in effect
for the student’s entire program, provided
the student maintains continuous enrollment
as defined in that catalog and completes the
program within the university’s specified time
59
frame. Note: Certain changes in law may
affect the catalog.
D. Once a student has completed the general
education requirements and this is so noted
on the transcript, regardless of whether 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 requirements.
E. 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.
F. Credits earned through articulated acceleration mechanisms, such as dual
enrollment, International Baccalaureate,
early admission, advanced placement, and
credit by examination, that are earned within
the A.A. degree at the community college,
will be transferable to the state university.
Students without an A.A. degree who are seeking
admission to a state university do not have all the
protection provided by the articulation agreement
and may be denied admission or lose credit when
transferring. In most cases, students without an
A.A. degree will have to meet freshman admissions
standards.
Program Admission
General
The universities determine the courses and
prerequisites that must be taken in order to receive
a baccalaureate degree for a chosen program.
Although all credit earned toward an A.A. degree
will transfer to a university, not all credit may satisfy
the program prerequisites or the course requirements
for a baccalaureate degree. Therefore, it is important
to know the program requirements and to take as
many of these courses as possible at the community
college while completing the A.A. degree.
Limited Access
Because of demand or limited resources, most
of the universities have programs that are called
limited access programs. Admission to limited
access programs is granted on a competitive basis.
Consequently, limited access programs have
additional admission requirements that are more
restrictive than the universities’ general admission
requirements. These requirements include one
60
or more of the following: minimum grade point
averages, test scores, prerequisite courses, auditions
and portfolios.
Guarantees
Neither Associate in Arts graduates nor native
university students are guaranteed admission to
limited access programs. However, the articulation
agreement does provide certain guarantees,
including that:
A. The community college student will have
the same opportunity to enroll in a university
limited access program as the native
university student.
B. Selection and enrollment criteria for a
university limited access program must be
established and published in catalogs,
counseling manuals, and other appropriate
publications. Changes in program enrollment
criteria must be given with sufficient advance
notice for prospective students to adjust their
programs to meet the new criteria.
Should any of these guarantees be denied, the
student has the right to file an appeal. Each state
university and community college has established
appeal procedures. These procedures must be
published in the university catalog. As a general
rule, if a student is denied admission to a university
or a program at the university and wants to appeal,
the appeal must be initiated at the university
admissions office.
Admission Appeals
If a student is accepted into a university, but is
denied admission to a program, the university must
state the reasons for the denial. This is usually
done in a letter from the dean of the college,
school or department. Any request for further
clarification should include:
A. A copy of the letter of denial.
B. A copy of the student’s transcripts.
C. A copy of the page(s) from the counseling
manual or catalog outlining the program
requirements.
D. A signed statement requesting a review of
the denial.
Students should keep a copy of all correspondence
and a log of all telephone contacts. A copy of all of
the above information should be forwarded to the
university admissions office and the university
articulation officer.
Articulation Officers
The university articulation officer is responsible
for assisting the community college student seeking
admission to a university. If assistance is needed
with an appeal request or if it appears that a
department is not complying with the statewide
articulation agreement, the university articulation
officer should be contacted. Articulation officers at
the community colleges are also responsible for
assisting in the transfer of students to universities
and can advise students in the interpretation of
the articulation agreement and appealing an
admissions decision.
Appealing to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee
If the denial is upheld at the university level and
there is still a question of potential violation of the
articulation agreement, the student may request
a hearing before the Articulation Coordinating
Committee (Florida Education Center, Tallahassee,
Florida, 32399-0400). All of the avenues available
to the student at the institutional level should be
pursued prior to appealing to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee. The student should keep
a copy of all correspondence and a log of all
telephone contacts. The procedures for filing such
an appeal with the Articulation Coordinating
Committee are as follows:
A. The student submits a statement of the
problem, a copy of the letter of denial from the
university, a copy of the transcript in question,
a copy of the page(s) from the catalog or
counseling manual, and a request to have a
hearing before the Articulation Coordinating
Committee for purposes of adjudication.
B. All student appeals and policy concerns
are reviewed by the Articulation Appeals
Subcommittee, which then forwards its
recommendation(s) to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee. Issues not resolved
by the subcommittee are sent to the full
committee for resolution.
C. The Articulation Coordinating Committee
and Articulation Appeals Subcommittee may
request the appearance of representatives
or statements from the receiving or sending
institution to provide additional information
or clarification on the issue.
D. A decision letter on the disposition of an
appeal is written by the chair of the
Articulation Coordinating Committee to the
division deans, and copies are simultaneously sent to all persons involved, including
the student. The decision of the Articulation
Coordinating Committee shall be final.
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE
AND ASSOCIATE OF
APPLIED SCIENCE
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
In addition to common core requirements noted
on page 50, Associate in Science (A.S.) degree
students must:
A. Complete the specified number of hours of
credit in an approved course of study as
outlined for the program.
B. Achieve a cumulative grade point average of
at least 2.0 (“C”).
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
C. Complete at least 25 percent of semester
hours in residence at CFCC and attend
during the semester the degree is earned.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
A student’s standing at Central Florida
Community 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 CFCC.
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 examples demonstrate this concept.
It should be noted that a student can go from a
position of good standing to academic warning,
probation or suspension within one term.

To maintain in good standing, a “C” average, which is
equal to two grade points per credit hour, must be
61
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 2) to maintain a “C” average.
Therefore, this student has a 13 grade point deficit
(54 – 41 = 13) and will be placed on academic probation.

In this example, the student earned six grade points on

needed for a “C” average. Since only six grade points
were earned, this student would have a 20 point deficit
and, therefore, would be suspended after just one term.
GPA calculation using CFCC
transcript information
Quality = the number of hours attempted that
are calculated for GPA purposes (excludes courses
with grades of “W” and “N,” as well as “preparatory
courses” and courses that have been “repeated.”)
Points = the number of grade points earned for
GPA calculation purposes.
Academic Warning, Probation
and Suspension
Students with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA
shall be placed on academic warning if they have
a grade point deficit of nine 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.
These students must schedule an appointment
with an advisor or counselor for advisement and
registration.
62
Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or
more shall be suspended for a minimum of one
full semester and then must petition the college
for readmittance. Call the Student Advising
department for assistance.
Academic Dismissal
Students returning after suspension will be
on probation. Any student who is suspended a
subsequent time 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 from suspension or dismissal
who earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or above will not
be suspended for that particular term, even though
they may have an overall deficit of more than 20
grade points. Their performance shows promise
and, if continued, will result in good academic
standing. Under these circumstances, such a
student will continue on academic probation.
Transferring to CFCC with
Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by these
standards of progress, using the same criteria
used for non-transfer students. Transfer students
entering with deficit grade points will be assigned
to the appropriate category, e.g., academic warning
or probation. They will return to good standing
when sufficient grade points have been earned to
achieve a “C” average.
Earning Credit While Suspended
A student while under suspension from another
institution may not enroll at CFCC, and a student
while under suspension from CFCC may not earn
credits toward a degree from this institution by taking
courses at another institution.
Standards of Progress Summary
Academic Warning . . . . . . . . . . . . .1–9 grade point deficit
Academic Probation . . . . . . . . . .10–19 grade point deficit
Academic Suspension . . . . .20 or more grade point deficit
Provisions for Appeal
Any student who feels there were extraordinary
circumstances that led to a 20 or more grade point
deficit may appeal his or her suspension status to the
Student Petitions and Academic Review Committee.
A student (credit, occupational or audit) who
withdraws from all classes must begin official
withdrawal procedures by contacting a counselor or
advisor. The college calendar gives specific deadlines for withdrawing from college without penalty.
OCCUPATIONAL
CERTIFICATE STUDENTS
A student’s academic standing is determined
by the same method as outlined in the section
under College Credit Division. Program instructors
may authorize a student to re-enroll for one
additional term if the student is suspended after
only one term. Failure to achieve satisfactory
progress during the term of re-enrollment will
result in permanent suspension.
VETERANS
See section on Veterans, pages 46–48, for
specific information.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular, punctual class attendance is the
responsibility of every student who enrolls at
Central Florida Community College. Likewise, the
institution is committed to enforcing the attendance
policy in an effort to assist students in achieving
their educational objectives. The documentation of
student absences will begin the first class day,
regardless of when the student registers. When a
student has a legitimate reason for being absent,
the instructor has the option of permitting the
student to make up work missed and may require
an explanation for absence.
The college reserves the right to evaluate
individual cases of non-attendance. In general,
students are graded on the basis of intellectual
effort and performance. Class participation is a
significant measure of performance, and nonattendance can adversely affect a student’s grade.
Attendance at authorized off-campus student
activities (such as student organization meetings or
athletic events) is permitted to count toward class
attendance or approved absence on the instructor’s
class records. Students must give advance notice
of the intended absence, within guidelines set
by the individual instructor, in order to have the
opportunity to prepare assignments and make up
or avoid missing tests. Faculty members are
expected to establish non-punitive policies toward
attendance at such college-sponsored, off-campus
student activities such as student organization
meetings or athletic events.
If conflicts exist between a student’s regularlyscheduled class and another activity (including the
requirements of other classes), the student’s
regularly-scheduled class should receive priority.
Instructors understand that students may be given
extra credit for such events, but no student will be
penalized for non-attendance.
If a student accumulates so many absences
that further enrollment in a course appears to be
of little value, the instructor has the right to drop
the student from the course.
Students enrolled in occupational certificate
programs are permitted two unexcused absences
within any attendance month. Students who exceed
this number of unexcused absences may be placed
on probation and, if additional unexcused absences
occur, dropped from the program. The instructor
determines whether or not an absence is excused,
considering such factors as sickness, accidents and
other contingencies beyond the control of the student.
Students enrolling in certain technical programs,
e.g., nursing, criminal justice, and cosmetology, are
expected to meet specific guidelines.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
GRADING SYSTEM
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
Students are responsible for computing their
own GPA. The transcript and degree audit should
be carefully checked, and, if discrepancies exist,
the Office of Admissions and Records should be
notified immediately.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated
based on the number of hours attempted per
course and the grade point value associated with
the letter grade. Example:
Course
Credit Grade
Grade Points
English
3
A
4.00 (x 3) = 12.0
Math

B+
3.75 (x 3) = 11.3
Speech

F
0.00 (x 3) = 0.0
Psychology

C
2.00 (x 3) = 6.0
Total Credits: 12
Total Grade Points: 29.3
Divide 29.3 (grade points) by 12 (credits) = 2.4 GPA.
GRADING SCALE
Instructors must announce, in writing, at the
beginning of each term, specific grading policies
for each class. At the end of each term final grades

Students registered in college prep courses who
receive “N” grades must repeat the same course
and complete it with a grade of “C” or better, or
achieve a passing score on the CPT before they
can register for other courses.
“I” GRADES
When the grade of “I” is issued it is the student’s
responsibility to meet with the instructor and make
the necessary arrangements for completing the
course work. An ‘Incomplete “I” Grade Course
Completion Arrangement form’ must be submitted
at the time of grading for each course in which the
grade of “I” is issued. A final date for the completion
of all work must be agreed upon and cannot be
more than six (6) months past the date of the form.
If the course work is completed by the student by
the deadline, the instructor will forward a new
grade to the Office of Admissions and Records
within one week after receiving the completed
information from the student. If the course work is
not completed by the agreed upon date, the
Registrar will post the grade listed on the form as
the final grade on the student’s permanent record.
FINAL GRADES
Final grade reports are available on the Web at
the end of each semester. Only grades issued at
the end of a semester are placed on a student’s
permanent record. Final grade reports include a
cumulative grade point average.
GRADE APPEAL
PROCESS GUIDELINES
Any student wishing to appeal a grade must
follow, in consecutive order, the levels of instruction
shown below:
Level I A student who believes a course grade
has been awarded unfairly or in error will
discuss the concern with the instructor
within thirty (30) calendar days from the
time the grade is awarded. (Note: In the
event the instructor is not available
within 30 days after the grade is awarded,
the student may notify the instructor’s
supervisor within the 30-day period.)
Level II
If the matter cannot be resolved
between the instructor and the student,
the student may request a meeting with
the instructor’s supervisor.
Level III In the event the student is not satisfied
at the Level II decision, the student has
the right to present the concern to the
Chief Academic Officer (CAO). If the
student wishes to exercise this right,
then, within five (5) working days after
the written Level II decision, the student
must deliver a copy of the Grade Appeal
Form with the appropriate documentation
and a copy of the written decision from
the instructor’s supervisor (Level II) to
the CAO.
Within ten (10) working days from receipt
of the Grade Appeal, the CAO will
determine if further review is warranted.
If the CAO determines that it is not, the
CAO will render a final written decision
to the student. If the CAO determines
that further review is warranted, the CAO
will ask the President to convene a
Grade Appeals Committee.
The Committee will make its decision
based on the Grade Appeals Form and
the attached documentation, the written
decision of the supervisor, and the
information presented by the student and
the instructor and their witnesses. The
Grade Appeals Committee will deliver a
recommendation to the CAO. The CAO
has the right to reject or accept the
recommendation. The decision of the CAO
will be final and binding on all parties.
GRADE FORGIVENESS POLICY
The forgiveness policy permits a student to
repeat a course in an attempt to improve a grade
of “D” or “F” earned in the course. Only the last
grade earned in a repeated course will be computed
into the student’s grade point average (GPA). On
the transcript, “repeated” shows the initial attempts
and “replaces prior course” indicates the last
attempt. The student will be limited to three attempts
(two repeats) per course with a grade being given
for the third attempt [F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(b)].
Withdrawals and audits count as attempts after the
add/drop period. Withdrawals will not be used to
increase a GPA.
1. Grade forgiveness is limited to courses
where a grade of “D” or “F” was earned.
F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 2(a).
2. Grade forgiveness is limited to the first two (2)
attempts at a course. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 2(b).
3. A student will be permitted a maximum of
two (2) withdrawals per course. Upon the
third attempt, the student will not be permitted
to withdraw and will receive a grade for that
course. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(b).
4. A student enrolled in the same undergraduate
college-credit course more than twice shall
pay tuition at 100 percent of the full cost of
instruction, and shall not be included in
calculations of full-time equivalent enrollments
for state funding purposes. F.S. 1009.285.
5. A student may have only three (3) attempts
per course including the original grade,
repeat grades and withdrawals at any point
in the semester. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 3.
6. The student should check with the Financial
Aid Office about the possible consequences
of repeating a course in regard to financial
aid.
7. If the student plans to transfer to another
institution, he or she must check with that
institution regarding acceptance of
“forgiveness” courses in the computation
of the student’s GPA.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
WITHDRAWAL
1. The student may withdraw without academic
penalty from any course by the mid-point in
the semester. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(a).
(Check the appropriate dates in the college
calendar for withdrawal deadlines.)
2. The student will be permitted a maximum of
two (2) withdrawals per course. Upon the
third attempt, the student will not be
permitted to withdraw and will receive a
grade for that course. F.S. 1009.28 and
F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(b).
3. Preparatory students who have completed
12 hours of college credit coursework must
maintain continuous enrollment in college
preparatory coursework each semester and
may not withdraw from their sole preparatory
course while remaining in other college
credit coursework. F.S. 1008.30 4(a) and
F.A.C 6A-10315 (20).
4. Audit students can withdraw at any time.
65
5. A student (credit, college credit certificate or
audit) who withdraws from all classes must
begin official withdrawal procedures by
seeing an advisor or program facilitator. The
college calendar gives specific deadlines for
withdrawing from the college.
PETITION TO WITHDRAW
WITH A REFUND
In keeping with Florida Administrative Rule
6A-14.0541, Central Florida Community College
will consider a petition for refund of fees for a
course after the official drop period when the
student withdraws due to circumstances determined
by the College to be exceptional and beyond the
control of the student. There are three terms in the
academic year: fall, spring and summer. The
College will consider a student’s petition through
the end of the term following the term in which
the student withdrew because of extraordinary
circumstances. After the end of the term following
withdrawal, no petition will be accepted without the
approval of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Any student wishing to petition for a refund of
fees due to exceptional circumstances may
complete a Student Petition Form in the Office of
Enrollment Services on the appropriate campus.
GRADUATION
Graduation Requirements
Students should be aware of the graduation
requirements. These include the core curriculum,
payment of all fees, and any work required in
special programs. It is the student’s responsibility to
determine the courses necessary for transfer to
any upper division college or university and to
meet any prerequisite courses required by those
upper division programs. Students must see an
advisor/counselor for a graduation check.
A. File an application for graduation with the
Enrollment Services Center before the
published deadline and pay the one-time,
non-refundable graduation fee.
B. Fulfill all obligations, financial and other, to
the college.
C. All graduates are encouraged to attend the
graduation ceremony.
D. For subsequent graduations, prospective
graduates must still apply to graduate,
though no additional graduation fee is required.
66
E. The CLAST measures achievement in
communication and mathematics skills at
the level of college sophomores. It includes
four subtests: essay writing, English
language skills, reading and mathematics.
Students seeking the Associate in Arts
degree must pass all four subtests or be
exempted in order to receive the degree or
to be admitted to upper division status at a
university in the state system.
HONORS PROGRAMS
Honors courses are offered currently in the
following areas of study: communications, science/
technology, social sciences and humanities, as well
as the Leadership Development course and a onecredit Honors Colloquium.
HONORS
RECOGNITION
The President’s List and the Dean’s List
recognize students for outstanding scholastic
work. These lists are produced at the end of each
term—fall semester, spring semester, and
summer semester. Students who carried 12 or
more credit hours of academic work, excluding
college prep hours, or 12 vocational credits, and
attained a grade point average of 4.0 for the
semester will be placed on the President’s List.
Students who carried 12 or more credit hours of
academic work, excluding college prep credit
hours, or 12 vocational credits, and attained a
grade point average of 3.3 for the semester, with
no grade lower than a “C,” will be placed on the
Dean’s List. Students meeting these requirements
in a combination of both summer terms will be
eligible for these honors.
Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor
society. Psi Beta is a national psychology honor
society. Sigma Delta Mu is a national Spanish
honor society. Contacts for information are
described in the Student Handbook Focus.
Graduates who have earned a 3.5 overall GPA
in all work taken at CFCC and an overall 3.5 GPA
on all college work attempted will be graduated
with honors. Honor graduates are recognized at
graduation ceremonies and have the notation
‘‘Graduated with Honors’’ on their permanent records.
COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS
The Community of Scholars, CFCC’s honors
program, offers exceptionally able students the
challenge and opportunity to enhance their academic
talents and careers. Through its curriculum of
enriched studies, the Community of Scholars
emphasizes three goals: to recognize excellence in
scholarship, to reward distinguished achievement,
and to direct intellectual curiosity toward continued
accomplishment.
The Community of Scholars focuses attention
on these areas of study: language and literature,
humanities, history, science and technology.
These honors seminars are currently offered:
AML 2012–Honors American Literature
CGS 1062–Honors Computers in Society
ENL 2000–Honors English Literature I
HUM 2310H–Honors Mythological Symbolism in
Art, Philosophy and Religion

In addition, SLS 2261–Leadership Development
is required for all “Track I” participants.
All highly-motivated students who plan to work
toward an Associate in Arts degree from CFCC
should seek admission to the Community of
Scholars program. The following guidelines are
used to identify those students who should benefit
most from enriched studies in the honors program.
It should be noted, however, that no single criterion
in the following list is absolute: i.e., a SAT score of
1050 might prove acceptable for a student with
demonstrated successes in other areas.
D. Demonstration of special talents or abilities
through portfolios, projects, papers, awards,
auditions, etc.
The Community of Scholars issues formal
invitations to graduating high school seniors meeting selective admission requirements. The two-year
program requires completion of 18 credit hours in
honors courses while maintaining a minimum
cumulative grade point average of 3.3 Scholarships
for four terms are awarded to as many as 30
selected students yearly.
Since 1990, the Community of Scholars program
has also invited outstanding CFCC scholars into a
second track, designed to include students who
did not come to CFCC directly from high school.
These students must earn a minimum of 12 honors
credits. “Track 2” students may become eligible
for partial tuition scholarships after their first term
in the program. For more information on the
Community of Scholars, contact the Director of
the Honors Institute.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION

FEES AND REFUNDS
College fees and tuition assessments are based
on the applicant’s residence. Fees may be paid
by cash, check, money order or credit card and
must be paid on or before the dates indicated on
the student’s schedule, which is 10 business days
from the date of registration. Exceptions include
special courses with registration and payment
dates to be established by the Director of Financial
Aid, veteran fee deferments and Florida National
Guard fee waivers.
Students who have been awarded financial aid
or are eligible for Bright Futures may have their
tuition and fees deferred at the time of registration.
However, if financial aid is denied or the award
does not cover a student’s financial obligation, the
student will be responsible for payment of the
outstanding obligation. All debts incurred due to
denial or insufficient coverage must be satisfied no
later than 60 days after the start of the term.
Student financial responsibilities include library
fines and obligations, traffic fines, returned checks,
student loan repayment, and return of borrowed
college equipment. Unless all fees and financial
responsibilities have been satisfied, a student may
not register for a subsequent term and, in some
cases, the student may be prohibited from attending
classes in the current term. Additionally, official
student transcripts will not be released until all
obligations have been satisfied.
The student fees are in effect at the date of
printing of this catalog. They are subject to
change by action of the Florida Legislature and
the college District Board of Trustees. Each
term the college will have available, prior to
registration a listing of current student fees.
Returned checks must be paid within seven (7)
days from receipt of the notice. The full amount
of the returned check plus a service charge
dependent upon the face amount of the check
will be due. If the returned check is not paid within
the time specified, it will be given to the State
Attorney’s office for collection.
Note: See Web registration guide each term for
update on fees.
State law, House Bill 1545, requires CFCC to
charge full cost of instruction for a student to
repeat, for the third time, a college preparatory
70
course in English, reading, or mathematics. However,
due to financial hardship and/or extenuating
circumstances, a student may be able to qualify for
an exception to the increased fee. An exception
based on extenuating circumstances may be used
only once for each course.

Refund Policy (CFCC)
For credit and vocational education classes,
petitions for refunds and withdrawal from the
college are available in the offices of Admissions,
Counseling, the Vice President for Student Affairs,
and the Citrus Campus Enrollment Services
Office. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate
official withdrawal, and the official date of
withdrawal will be determined by the date the
completed form is returned to the office of the
Vice President for Student Affairs. Regardless of
when the refund is applied for, no refund will be
processed before 30 days have elapsed from
the date of the refund form, or two weeks after
the end of the Add/Drop Date, whichever is the
greater time period.
Credit, occupational and audit students
who officially withdraw and complete a proper
refund petition through the office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs will receive refunds
according to the following schedule:
100 percent: When official drop notification is
received and approved prior to the end of the
published drop/add period.
Up to 100 percent: The refund will be affected
by the portion of the term completed. When a
student drops a course due to circumstances
determined by the college to be exceptional and
beyond the control of the student, which may
include but not be limited to:
A. Illness of the student of such severity or
duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude completion of the course(s).
B. Death of the student or the student’s parent,
spouse, child or sibling.
C. Involuntary call to active military duty.
D. A situation where the college is in error.
E. A change of a course or section(s) initiated
by the college because of cancellation, time
or location.
F. Other circumstances that may be approved
upon timely filing with complete documentation with the division of Student Affairs.
For continuing education and corporate training
classes, students must request a refund by the
second scheduled class meeting to receive a full
refund. The refund request must be made in writing.
No refund is available after the second class meeting,
for non-credit courses bearing fees of $5.00 or
less, or for non-credit workshops, seminars or clinics.
FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
Pro-Rata Refunds
Campus-based programs will be refunded
using pro-rated formula to comply with federal
regulations defined in Reauthorization of the
Higher Education Act.
Withdrawals and Repayment
of Title IV Funds
Federal Regulations require institutions to
calculate the amount of federal financial aid a
student earned if a student withdraws from all of
their coursework in any given term. In addition, at
the end of a term, if a student has not successfully
completed any coursework, the institution must
confirm that the student did attend the courses for
which the student received financial aid.
When a student who receives a net disbursement of Title IV funds ceases attendance prior to
the 60 percent point in the payment period, CFCC
will determine whether the student must repay a
portion of the net disbursement. A statutory pro-rata
schedule will be used to determine the percentage
of Title IV funds the student has earned at the time
of withdrawal. Federal Work Study funds are
excluded in the calculation.
81
If a student withdraws after completing at least
60 percent of the term, it is assumed that the
student’s living expenses up to the time of withdrawal
exceeded the amount of the funds disbursed and
the student does not owe a repayment. However, if
the disbursement was greater than the student’s
expenses up to the withdrawal date, the student
must repay the excess amount or a portion of the
excess amount as applicable.
The percentage formula is: total number of
calendar days completed in the payment period
divided by the total number of calendar days in the
payment period equals the percentage of Title IV
funds earned.
The institution must return the lesser of the
amount of Title IV funds that the student does not
earn or the amount of institutional charges (tuition
and fees) that the student incurred for the payment
period multiplied by the percentage of funds that
was not earned.
The student (or parent, if a Federal Direct PLUS
loan) must return or repay the remaining unearned
Title IV program grant or loan funds. The student’s
grant repayment is reduced by half when he or she,
rather than the institution, must return grant funds.
CFCC will notify the student, in writing, of the
amount owed, procedure for repayment and
consequences of non-payment within the allotted
time frame.
Order of return of Title IV funds. Unearned
funds returned by the school or student are credited
to outstanding Title IV loan balances for the student
or made on the student’s behalf. Funds must be
credited to outstanding balances in the following order:
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan
Subsidized Federal Direct Loan
Federal Direct PLUS Loan
Remaining funds. If excess funds remain after
repaying all outstanding loan amounts, then the
remaining amount is credited to grant programs in
the following order:
Federal Pell grant
Federal SEOG
Other Title IV assistance
Detailed information on repayments is available
in the Financial Aid office.
These policies are subject to change by action of
the United States Department of Education (USDOE).

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
PURPOSE OF FINANCIAL AID
The primary purpose of financial aid is to
provide assistance to students who have a
demonstrated financial need as determined by an
approved need-analysis system, or who show
academic or special talent. Awards may come from
any combination of grants, scholarships, loans or
part-time employment. The financial aid awarded to
a student may be from federal, state, institutional or
local funds. Students interested in applying for
financial assistance should complete a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online
at www.fafsa.ed.gov. To be given full consideration
for all aid programs, applications should be filed
prior to May 1 of each calendar year for the
academic year beginning that August. Student
consumer information and all applications are
available in the Enrollment Services Center at any
of our campuses. Questions concerning financial
aid should be addressed to the campus Enrollment
Services Center.
GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
All financial aid is dependent upon the availability
of federal, state, local and institutional resources.
To be eligible for financial aid, a student must:
1. Be accepted as a degree-seeking student in
an A.A., A.A.S., or A.S. degree program, or
2. Be accepted as a certificate-seeking student
in an eligible College Credit Certificate* or
Postsecondary Adult Vocational Certificate.**
3. Be making satisfactory academic progress
for financial aid purposes.
4. Be a U.S. citizen, national or eligible
non-citizen.
5. Enroll at least half-time (six credit hours) for
most aid programs.
6. Not be in default on a prior student loan.
7. Not owe a repayment or overpayment of a
federal grant.
8. Not have an existing financial obligation to
CFCC.
9. Be registered for Selective Service, if
required.
10. Have a standard high school diploma or
GED, or meet Federal Ability to Benefit (ATB)
test score guidelines.
For students who do not have a standard
high school diploma or GED, CFCC has
identified the Computerized Placement Tests
(CPT) as the only acceptable test for ATB
purposes; to receive financial aid, the minimum CPT scores are: Reading 55, Sentence
Skills 60 and Arithmetic 34.
11. As a college transfer student, provide an
official transcript from each previously
attended institution. These are submitted to
and evaluated by CFCC.
12. Not have been convicted for sale or possession
of illegal drugs while receiving Title IV aid.

PAYMENT OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid award amounts may be adjusted
based on the student’s enrollment status, which is
determined after the drop-only deadline listed in
the Registration Calendar in the official catalog or,
in the case of late awards, at the time the award is
approved. A financial aid recipient must be meeting
all eligibility requirements at the time payment
is made.
Fees, books, VA deferments and/or promissory
notes outstanding at the time payment is made will
be deducted from the financial aid payment. If a
balance is available, a refund will be issued by
Higher One, Inc. via the CFCC OneCard. Visit
www.cfcconecard.com for additional information.
Address changes should be updated to help ensure
timely receipt of financial aid funds. Address
changes can be made through the MyCFCC Web
Portal and in the Enrollment Services Center.
If you are receiving your financial aid award after
you have completed the term, aid will be paid only
for courses that have been completed successfully.
DEFINITION OF AN AWARD YEAR
The financial aid award year starts in the beginning
of the fall term (usually August) and continues
through to the end of the summer term (usually
July), with the exception of Federal Work Study.
The Federal Work Study award year begins July 1
and ends June 30.
FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
COLLEGE-PREPARATORY COURSES
Required college-preparatory coursework can
be counted in the student’s enrollment for financial
aid purposes. However, once a student has attempted
30 hours of preparatory coursework, the student is
not eligible for aid for any additional preparatory
coursework. If a student must take additional
preparatory credit hours, the student will not receive
aid for those credit hours and those hours will not
be included in the determination of enrollment for
financial aid purposes.
ELIGIBLE COURSEWORK AND
REPEAT COURSEWORK
Repeated coursework and coursework not
required for a student’s program of study will
impact a students’ aid award. Students may not
receive financial aid for coursework that is not
required for their major and/or not among approved
electives for their current program of study. If a student is taking coursework not required for his/her
program of study, the students’ enrollment status
will be adjusted for aid purposes. In addition,
83
repeated coursework where a grade has been
previously assessed is, in most cases, ineligible for
aid. The student will be ineligible for aid for the
repeated coursework and the students’ enrollment
status will be adjusted for aid purposes.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
FOR FINANCIAL AID PURPOSES
All students receiving any form of financial aid
must meet the standards of progress outlined below.
The requirements for those standards are set by
federal regulations (34 CFR Section 668.19).
There are three satisfactory progress
requirements:
1. You must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative
overall grade point average, and
2. You must have successfully completed at
least 67% of the courses you have attempted
at all colleges, and
3. You may not exceed 150% of the published
length of your declared program of study.
If you have attended any other college(s), the
courses you took there will be considered in the
evaluation of your progress.
For financial aid purposes, remaining enrolled in
a course for credit beyond the official refund
deadline counts as an attempt. All attempted
courses are counted, even if taken as part of a
different degree program.
For financial aid purposes, successful completion
of a course means an earned grade of “A,” “B,” or
“C;” a grade of “D” is passing below average and
will negatively impact your grade point average.
A successful completion ratio is 67% or greater
and the formula for calculating the completion
ratio is:
Hours earned ÷ hours attempted = completion
ratio.
Satisfactory Academic Progress will be evaluated
at the end of each term.
If you do not meet the Standards of Satisfactory
Academic Progress due to your grade point average
or completion ratio, you will be placed on Financial
Aid Probation for one term. If you do not meet the
requirements by the end of your probation term,
you will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension
and will not be eligible for further financial aid until
you meet the minimum requirements. You will need
to pay for the courses you take while you are under
Financial Aid Suspension. If you have attempted
150% of the hours needed for your degree or
84
certificate program, you no longer will be eligible
for financial aid.
You do have the right to appeal a Financial Aid
Suspension if you have extenuating circumstances.
Appeal forms are available on the web or in the
Enrollment Services Center on each campus.
Completed appeal forms and supporting
documentation of your extenuating circumstances
will be required. Appeal forms must be submitted to
a campus Enrollment Services Center by the
Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Deadline provided
on the form. You will be notified in writing of the
decision. The decisions are final and can not be
appealed. Students notified of decisions in their
favor are placed on Financial Aid Probation for one
semester. At the end of the semester, the student
will have to meet minimum standards or submit
another appeal with documentation by the
deadline date.
If you are placed on Financial Aid Suspension
due to your grade point average or completion ratio
and you do not have extenuating circumstances or
your appeal is denied, you may reinstate your
eligibility for financial aid by bringing your progress
up to the minimum requirements. You will need to
pay for the course(s) you take while under Financial
Aid Suspension.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
You must reapply for financial aid for each
academic year.
1. Be degree-seeking or certificate-seeking in
an eligible certificate program at CFCC.
2. Provide the Office of Admissions and
Records with an official copy of your high
school transcript or GED and, if you are a
college transfer student, provide an official
copy of your transcript from each institution
you attended. Transfer course work must be
evaluated before an award can be made.
3. Complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it to the
federal processor. CFCC’s federal school
code number is 001471. In order for CFCC to
process your financial aid, you must include
this number on your FAFSA. You may submit
the FAFSA using one of the following methods:
a. World Wide Web address
www.fafsa.ed.gov (allow at least two
weeks for processing).
b. Regular mail (allow at least four weeks for
processing).
4. Research and apply for scholarships.
Other important application information:
Verification—The federal government requires
that some applications be reviewed for accuracy
through a process called “verification.” If you are
selected for this process, you will be required to
complete a verification worksheet and provide
copies of the tax returns for individuals whose
income was included on your application. You will
be notified through the mail if you have been
selected for verification. Your financial aid file will
not be considered complete and ready for awarding
until all verification documents have been received
and processed.
Federal eligibility matches—The federal
processor matches your name, date of birth and
social security number with a variety of federal
agencies. Agency matches are performed against
the files of the Social Security Administration,
Department of Homeland Security, Selective Service
and the National Student Loan Data System. If any
discrepancies or questions about your information
occur, you will be asked to provide additional
documents or take additional action to confirm
your eligibility for federal assistance. The federal
processor will notify you on your Student Aid
Report (SAR) of the results of these matches and
whether additional information is required in order
for your application to be processed.
FINANCIAL AID
PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
GRANTS
Grants may be awarded if you are determined to
have financial need based on the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The grants listed
below are administered by the CFCC financial aid
department based on the guidelines set for each
program by the provider.
Federal Pell Grant
This is a need-based federal grant program for
students who are seeking their first undergraduate
degree and whose Estimated Family Contribution
(EFC) is below $3,300*. The annual Federal Pell
Grant award amount is determined by your EFC
and enrollment status and may range from $400 to
$4,050.
Students who establish eligibility will be funded.
All required/requested documents must be
received prior to your last day of enrollment, or
June 30, 2006, which ever comes first.
Initial awards are estimated based on the
evaluation of information submitted on the FAFSA.
Estimates will change if any criteria used to
determine your eligibility, such as program of study
or area of interest, degree status, satisfactory
academic progress, income or family information
changes. Actual payment will not be determined
until after the drop only/refund deadline listed in
the College calendar.
You do not have to be enrolled full time to
receive a Federal Pell Grant award. The amount
actually paid to you from the Federal Pell Grant will
be prorated if you enroll for less than 12 credit
hours in a given term. You must begin attending all
of your classes on the first day. If your attendance
is not certified prior to the actual payment of
Federal Pell Grant funds, payment for the
non-certified classes may not be made.
Federal Pell Grant awards may be used for the
equivalent of two full-time terms each year. This
means if you are full-time in fall and spring terms,
you will not have funding available for summer.
Students who attended part-time in fall and/or
spring term(s) may use their remaining eligibility in
the summer term.
*The U.S. Department of Education determines the
EFC level each year and this designation is subject
to change.
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)
This is a need-based federal grant awarded to
undergraduate students who have completed a
rigorous high school curriculum and graduated
after January 1, 2005. Students must also be

enrolled in school and during your six-month grace
period. You must repay the loan plus a variable rate
of interest beginning six months after you leave
school or drop to less than half-time status.
Students enrolled in a certificate program or a
degree program without having completed 30 credit
hours may borrow up to $2,625 per year or the
amount of unmet financial need, whichever is less.
Students who have completed more than 30 credit
hours in a degree program at the time of application
may borrow up to $3,500 per year or the amount of
unmet financial need, whichever is less.

however, you still must complete the FAFSA. You
must be enrolled in at least half-time. The student
is responsible for the interest while the loan is in
deferment and during the six-month grace period.
You may pay the interest while in school or you

be deferred until the time of repayment.
Dependent students enrolled in a certificate
program or a degree program without having completed 30 credit hours may borrow up to $2,625 per
year in combined subsidized and unsubsidized
loans, not to exceed the cost of education less
other financial aid. Students with more than 30
credit hours in a degree program at the time of
application may borrow up to $3,500 per year in
combined subsidized and unsubsidized loans, not
to exceed the cost of education less other financial
aid. Independent students may also borrow an
additional $4,000, not to exceed the cost of

Descriptions
COURSE
DESCRIPTIONS
143
Courses in this catalog are listed in alpha-numeric
order. Following is a list of the courses usually
offered. The college reserves the right to determine
minimum enrollments in all courses. The term
“credit” as used in references to courses is equal to
one semester hour. Further, it means credit toward a
degree from CFCC and not necessarily credit
transferable to another institution.
COURSE CLASSIFICATION
All credit courses offered by CFCC are designated
in one of the following classifications:
“Gordon Rule” classes are marked with ✒ in
the course description.
College preparatory courses do not count
toward either an A.A. or an A.S. degree and
receive institutional credit only. They may be
used in calculating full-time status for athletic team
participation, financial aid and veterans benefits.
Occupational courses may not count toward
the A.A. degree. They count in full toward the
appropriate A.S. degree.
Parallel courses count toward the A.A.
degree and should transfer readily to any college
or university.
Dual courses count toward the A.A. degree
as part of the 60 hours only if they are appropriate
for the student’s program of study or area of
interest. Students should consult with a counselor
prior to enrolling in a designated dual course.
Students are cautioned against taking excessive
electives or courses out of their major field of study
at the expense of required prerequisites.
FLORIDA’S STATEWIDE
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Courses in this catalog are identified by
prefixes and numbers that were assigned by
Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System.
This numbering system is used by all public
postsecondary institutions in Florida and 33
participating non-public institutions. The major
purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of
courses between participating institutions.
Each participating institution controls the title,
credit, and content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of the course number to
indicate the level at which students normally take
the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits
of the course numbers are assigned by members
of faculty discipline committees appointed for that
purpose by the Florida Department of Education in
Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve on
these 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 Statewide Course
Numbering System (SCNS). The list of course
prefixes and numbers, along with their generic titles,
is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions
of the content of courses are referred to as “course
equivalency profiles.”

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.
(Exceptions are listed below.)
For example, a survey course in social problems
is offered by 35 different postsecondary
institutions. Each institution uses “SYG _010” to
identify its social problems course. The level code

Survey Course
Unit Digit
(fourth digit)
0
Social
Problems
Lab Code
No laboratory
component in
this course
is the first digit and represents the year in which
students normally take the course at a specific
institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, “SYG” means
“Sociology, General,” the century digit “0”
represents “Entry-Level General Sociology,” the
decade digit “1” represents “Survey Course,” and
the unit digit “0” represents “Social Problems.”
In science and other areas, 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
F = Fall
W = Winter
S = Summer
time. The “L” represents a laboratory course or the
laboratory part of a course, having the same prefix
and course number without a lab indicator, which
meets at a different time or place.
Transfer of any successfully completed course
from one institution to another is guaranteed in
cases where the course to be transferred is
equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution.
Equivalencies are established by the same prefix
and last three digits and comparable faculty
credentials at both institutions. For example, SYG
1010 is offered at a community college. The same
course is offered at a state university as SYG 2010.
A student who has successfully completed SYG
1010 at the community college is guaranteed to
receive transfer credit for SYG 2010 at the state
university if the student transfers. The student
cannot be required to take SYG 2010 again since
SYG 1010 is equivalent to SYG 2010. 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 which
have not been designated as equivalent.
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for
a major division of an academic discipline, subject
matter area, or sub-category of knowledge. The
prefix is not intended to identify the department in
which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a
course determines the assigned prefix used 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
